6 <br /> EXHIBIT E <br /> LABOR HARMONY REQUIREMENT <br /> Adopting Written Contracting Policies for Certain Human Services Contracts <br /> in Accordance With SCC 2.400.067 <br /> On March 25, 2009, the Snohomish County.Council passed Ordinance No. 09-011 <br /> relating to contracts for all home care services and for those services funded by <br /> revenues derived from the tax imposed by SCC 4.25.010. The ordinance requires <br /> the Snohomish County Executive to adopt such written contracting policies as he <br /> determines necessary "to prevent or mitigate service disruptions caused by labor <br /> unrest within private sector providers of home care services, chemical dependency <br /> or mental health treatment services, or therapeutic court services, that would harm <br /> vulnerable members of the community, compromise the efficient delivery of county <br /> services, or adversely impact law enforcement services provided by the county" <br /> (SCC 2.400.067(1)). For purposes of these policies, the services described in SCC <br /> 2.400.067(1) are hereinafter referred to as the "Services." <br /> I. NO SERVICE DISRUPTION GUARANTEE <br /> The Agency agrees to maintain an appropriate level of service at all times in order to <br /> prevent or mitigate disruptions to the contracted-for services caused by labor unrest. <br /> The Agency agrees to sign a guarantee that appropriate levels of service will be <br /> maintained by the Agency at all times specified in the Contract (hereinafter, a "No <br /> Service Disruption Guarantee", which is attached as Attachment A to this Exhibit). <br /> Provided, however, that the provision of a signed, enforceable agreement (including <br /> but not limited to a collective bargaining agreement) between the Agency and the <br /> exclusive bargaining representative of the Agency's employees who are essential to <br /> the delivery of Services may substitute for the Agency's signing of a No Service <br /> Disruption Guarantee, so long as that signed agreement includes a No Service <br /> Disruption Guarantee and both the Agency and the exclusive bargaining <br /> representative agree to the substitution. <br /> II. LABOR HARMONY PLAN <br /> The Agency will, unless exempted under Section VI below, submit a plan to address <br /> how the Agency will make every good faith effort to resolve labor disputes without <br /> disrupting contracted-for services. <br /> A. If the employees of the Agency who are essential to the delivery of Services have <br /> an exclusive bargaining representative when the County contract or contract <br /> amendment is executed, that representative must jointly develop and approve <br /> the Labor Harmony Plan. <br /> 1.5 <br /> G co <br /> City of Everett—Con Ci %soil Senior Center <br /> F � 1 of' <br /> 45 <br />
