Management and Fiscal Policy Committee to Address Agreements With Employee Bargaining Units

The Montgomery County Council’s Management and Fiscal Policy (MFP) Committee at 2 p.m. on Monday, July 12, will discuss agreements reached in negotiations between representatives of County Executive Isiah Leggett and bargaining units representing various groups of County employees. In some instances, the agreements conflict with decisions made by the Council earlier this year.

The MFP Committee, which is chaired by Duchy Trachtenberg and includes Councilmembers Valerie Ervin and Nancy Navarro, will be held in the Third Floor Council Conference Room of the Council Office Building at 100 Maryland Ave. in Rockville. The meeting will be televised live by County Cable Montgomery (CCM—Cable Channel 6 on Comcast and RCN, Channel 30 on Verizon). It also will be available via streaming through the County Web site at www.montgomerycountymd.gov.

The afternoon session will be the second meeting of the day for the MFP Committee. Its 9:30 a.m. meeting will include the quarterly review of cable television issues and a report on the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system that is one of three current components of the County’s technology modernization effort. The $85 million ERP system would make comprehensive changes in County management capabilities in regard to finance, procurement and Human Resource Management functions.

The afternoon MFP meeting will address Memorandums of Agreement that the County Executive has reached with the Fraternal Order of Police, the Municipal and County Government Employees Organization (MCGEO) and the County Career Fire Fighters Association. Other agreements to be discussed include one with the MCGEO on furlough procedures and one with the Montgomery County Volunteer Fire Rescue Association.
