Tri angle Prior to the time I decided to purchase land and build an office at 72r._'_ and Hampton Streets, I inquire' about 'A,,:-ar11 s plans for the d nrolop. nt of that area. It was my understand1n1g the buildin-S had to meet very strict requirements because this wa..3 to be a well planned business com- munity and one which all citizens of Tigard wolzld refer to with pride. Several months ago it came to my attention the old house locate3 at 7035 S.7, Hampton was -oirg to be re-zoned to C-P. I contacted the Pla-inin ; Department and a City Council member at that time to see it the re-tonin, was being approved. Their response was affirmative, but they assurer]. me the re-zoning had been an error but could not be reversed. 'They also said this would not re-occur because re-conin- old houses into commercial pro- perty was not what the City had planned. Just a .few weeks ago I was told by I:r. Fred Cooper, who owns a, rental house located at 12700 S-1'. 72nd Street (Lot 7#13, Boveland 'No. 2), that he plans to have the house re-zoned to C-P. I contacted fr. Ken ''ea.ver :rho told ne he did not believe the City could prevent this from happening. 'this was very disappointing. It is difficult for me to understand hoer the City can have so much authority over the construction of a new building and no auth- ority over the construction or appearance of a house bein- rezoned to C-P. Please do not misunderstand my position. The City Planning Department scrutinized my building plans even to the extent of the color of the bricks and such other items as the distance between the shrubs. I appreciated and understood their interest in the project. Surely, the same authority can and should be applied to all buildingr, being planned for C-F use. I encourage each one of you to personally see and compare the house located at 7035 S.U. Hampton Street with the Lamb-`,'eston, Commerce Plaza, Farmer) Insurance and my new brick building. I am sure you will agree the controlled new construction enhances the beauty and promotes the continued development of that area, while the conversions of old houses to commercial occupancies can only have the reverse affect. There are several old houses in the "Tigard Triangle" which will be re-zoned to C-P if a buildincode is not established to prevent it. This letter should not be construed to be critical of Idr. Fred Cooper or to the owners of the house referred to above. Beauty and harmony are in the eyes of the beholder, but there must be some control over the appearance of all the building to assure the success of that new business community. -2- I would appreciate being notified of all public hearings or meeting re- lating to the proposed re-zoning of Mir. Cooper's house or any other houses that may be being considered for C-P use. I am confident that representatives of Lamb-E+eston, Farmers Insurance and Commerce Plaza share my concern and views on this matter. Sincerely, on A. Vredenbur The I:ingsmen Professional Building DVs rad C.C. Ken '•1 eaver Tigard Planning Dept. ,xrn•�` �v n u L o GCS � carr,� a9 P14` �'�. , November 1, 1978 To: City Administraror, City of rigard In accordance with the Grievance Proceedure (Article XXVI) of the T.M.E.A. contract, I would like to submit this written complaint. O.R.S. 659.029 (effective October 4, 1977) states that "Women affected by pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions or occurances (sic) shall be treated the same for all employment-related purposes, including receipt of benefits under fringe benefit programs, as other persons not so affected but similar in their ability or inability to work by reason of physical condi- tion, and nothing in this Section shall be interpreted to permit otherwise." The 1977-78 T.M.E.A. contract benefits include a sick leave honor system which grants a "continuation of pay during an absence not to exceed 90 days." During this period employees' health, dental, and other benefits continue. The T.M.E.A. contract lists maternity as a seperate disability and rather than treating it "the same for all employment-related purposes including receipt of benefits," it states that "Maternity leave shall be granted without pay." Further, all employee benefits including vacation accrual, health benefits, etc. cease, This is in direct violation of the State Law. Because of this and the fact that if has direct and immediate bearing on tho financial state of several employees, I hearby request that the City take action to change the contract to comply with the law. At this time, I must also announce that if the contract is not corrected that I have been advised by legal council ,tq file a complaint with the A.C.I..U, and the Civil Rights Division of the Bureau'of Labor. Although I would like to think that the City of Tigard places the health and emotional well-being of their employees high upon their list of priorities, Their hesitancy in rectifying this situation tends to demonstrate otherwise. Rather than reassuring the employees that their benefits as negotiated and agreed upon for the 1977-78 fiscal year under'the T.M.E.A. contract will be honored for pregnancy disability as required by law, The City of Tigard is seeking to change the benefit program to suit its own needs. As well as being illegal, this is also extremely unfair and demoralizing. It should be noted that this is placing unnecessary stress upon persons who are already in a physically stressful condition and could result in the City's liability for ftirther damages.

We have received four Attorney General Opinions on the subject of maternity (No. 7502, No. 7586, OP-4404, and No. 7666). Only one, No. 7502, comes close to dealing with our question: Is is legal, under ORS 659.029 to treat maternity along with all other gender- related conditions in a different manner than conditions which are not gender-related? The question presented in the Opinion was: "Must medical benefits for pregnancy always be identical to benefits for all other conditions?" (p. 1240) Thou h this question relates to fringe benefits (i.e. medical bene- fits rather than leave benefits, the law requires equalization for all employment related purposes. Therefore, substitution of "leave benefits" in the question would not alter the substance of the answer. The answer given was: - , "No, but any benefit plan which treats pregnancy differently than the majority of other conditions will be subject to close scrutiny and will probably be found to be invalid." (p. 1240) In the further discussion of the question, the '01nion states: "Inclusion of pregnancy in a fairly extensive list of con- ditions with limited benefits would not necessaril be a violation of the statute in any case. It would, owever, be subject to very close scrutiny and it would be necessary to establish common characteristics (other than sex-related- ness) distinguishing all the listed conditions from other conditions riot on the list. We predict ari effort to. treat pregnancy, along with other conditions, in a manner differ- ing from the treatment of most other conditions, would in most cases be held to violate the statute." (p. 1249) In relation to the discussion above, -we questioned the interpre- tation of "sex-relatedness." We called Vic Levy, the attorney in the Attorney General's Office who wrote this opinion, who said that this was meant to prohibit the use of a common charac- teristic particular to one sex. For example, the common charac- teristic of "female-related" which would result in a list inclu- ding maternity, hysterectomy, etc. We then asked him about the legality of our criterion of "gender- relatedness". The common characteristic of "gender-relatedness" would apply to those conditions, in both sexes, which are parti- cular to the sex of the person involved. As per other legal 11111 IS I l Maternity Leave Up-Date (10/31/78), page two sources we contacted, he had never heard of a policy of this type and declined to give a definitive answer to the question. He did say that this type of policy would be subject to litigation, and suggested that we consider the cost of possible litigation and detrement to public image in making a decision on the use of this policy. At this point we have exhausted all of our avenues of research and still have not arrived at a definitive conclusion. The City can either make a decision based upon research to date or, formally (through our State Representative) request an Attorney General's Opinion on the specific question. (Sources at the A.G's. Office say that it takes an average of one month to complete an opinion, . though the Representative may request a rush - which they will . try to honor). OctoL r 26, 1978 COST IMPACT OF THE ADDITION OF MATERNITY AS A TEMPORARY DISABILITY UNDER THREE SICK LEAVE/DISABILITY INSURANCE PACKAGES INTRODUCTION During the early stages of re-writing the Personnel Manual, ORS 659.- .029 was brought to our attention. Basically, this states that we are required to treat maternity the same as any other temporary disability for all employment related purposes, including receipt of fringe and leave benefits. In response to this new law (effective October 4, 1977) we drafted a Proposed Maternity Leave Policy (September 18, 1978) which is identical to the sick leave/disability plan offered for other conditions. As the proposed policy would provide a pregnant employee with full paid sick leave for the certified period of disability (as compared to the current policy which provides leave without pay), a concern was raised in relation to the increased cost to the City. To add- ress this concern, we have been researching alternate sick leave/ disability insurance packages which would reduce the City's finan- cial liability while maintaining a comparable employee benefit level. The three packages we considered were: Plan I: This plan would provide 30 days full paid sick leave, then disability insurance* of 60% of base salary for the re- mainder of the disability. Plan II: This trould provide 60 days full paid sick leave, then disability .insurance of 60% of base salary for the remainder of the disability. Plan III: This is the current sick leave/disability insurance plan which provides 90 days full paid sick leave, then 60% x disability insurance of base salary for the remainder of the z disability. j 1 9 ti t , The report includes cost breakdowns for the following: - Actual Cost of Sick Leave/Disability Insurance Plan for Fiscal Year 1977-78. - Projection A - Cost for the period December 1, 1978 - November 30, 1979, based on actual incidents of maternity, broken down by Plans I, II, and III. - Projection B - Cost for the period December 1, 1978 - November 30, 1979, based on average incidence of maternity, broken down by Plans I, II, and III. Projection A is included to provide information on our actual current situation. Projection B is included to assist in evaluating the various costs of the three plans for the future. The figures here relate to the same time period as Projection A to provide consistency and reliability (salaries and payroll costs for the future will be subject to many factors which we are unable to predict: budget based on tax level, continued CETA funding, City Council decisions, etc). Therefore, this projection does not provide an actual cost to the City, but we feel that the cost differences under the three plans will remain fairly constant regardless of the total salary and payroll costs. The methods used at arriving at the figures presented in the Pro- jections is included following the projections. Disability insurance pay: 6096 of the first $2500.00 of monthly base salary, not to exceed $1500.00 or be less than $50.00. These payments are not taxed and are therefore comparable to full pay which is taxed. 2 1 ACTUAL COST OF SICK LEAVE/DISABILITY INSURANCE PLAN FOR FISCAL YEAR 1977-78 (PLAN III) Sick leave payments. . .. . .. .. . . . . . . . $ 23,742.23 Maternity leave payments.. .. . . . . . . . 0 Temp.

This year there will be four cases of maternity leave (an incidence of 400%). As the difference between these two figures is so great, neither of *them appeared to be a reliable indicator for probability of maternity. :We therefore added one year (representing the current year) to the five year base period.

This can also be stated in terms of .8 employees suffering from a disability in any year. As the period of disability increases, the probability of a disability occuring decreases. We have compensated for this • y by estimating that the probability of a disability lasting between 30-60 days is 75% of the initial probability (75/ of .8 = .6), and the probability of a disability lasting between 60 - 90 days is 50% of the initial probability (505/0 of .8 = .4). -------------------------------------------------- --------------- Projected Disability Insurance Costs Plan I Adjusted Annual Personnel Services Cost. . .. . . . . .. . .$ 878,382.82 Insurance rate applied to base salary - 1.00%. , .. . . x .01 Projected Disability.

Plan I provides a substantial saving over either Plan II or III. Plan II would probably provide saving over Plan III. This is totally dependent upon the length of maternity leaves. If only one of -the current maternity leaves lasted approximately 75 days (and the others lasted 60 days each) , the cost would be equal under either Plan II or III. As more than one leave will probablytla`st *more than 60 days, Plan II will probably provide a saving. PROJECTION B: AVERAGE INCIDENCE OF MATERNITY Plan I would cost $773.00 (2%) less than Plan II Plan I would cost from $351.38 - $1,932.49 (.9% - 5%) less than Plan III Plan II would cost from $421.62 (1.1}0) more to $1159.49 (2.9%) less than Plan III Plan I would provide a saving over either Plan II or III. K Plan II would probably provide a saving over Plan III, again depen- dent upon the length of maternity 1eave (as described above). Under both Plans I and II, if a maternity and/or disability does not occur in any given year, this will cancel out most of the savings over Plan III. PRESENT & FUTURE IMPLICATIONS As the savings of Plan I are so substantial this year, due to the four cases of maternity, it appears to be in the City's best in- terest to use this plan for at least this year. For future years, Plan I would provide a savings of 5% (over Plan III) if there was a case of maternity leave. If there was no maternity leave, Plan I would still provide a small saving (.9%) over Plan III. With consideration of current trends (younger workforce, more females in the workforce, and women returning to the workforce sooner after maternity - a matter of months rather than waiting until the children enter school), the average incidence of maternity is likely to in- crease. With this increase in incidence of maternity, Plan I will provide even more savings over Plan III. IMPACT ON EMPLOYEE SALARY/BENEFIT LEVELS The theory exists that as employee benefit costs'& up, salary in- creases are not as high as they would be if the cost of benefits had not gone up. Plan I disability insurance costs $1,756.70 ($33.15 per employee/ per year) more than Plan II Plan I' disability insurance costs $2,810.83 ($53.03 per em- ployee/per year) more than Plan III Plan II disability insurance costs $1,054.06 ($19.88 per em- ployee/per year) more t:ian Plan III According to this theory (with equal impact on both sides of the equation) , the employee salary increase would be reduced by an average of $00.025 per hour (under Plan I). However, as the City would realize savings under Plan I which are greater than the added cost of the disability insurance, this would compensate for the in- creased cost of the benefit. We would be happy to answer any questions or provide further infor- mation if it is desired.

This means that we are required to cover the certified period of disability with sick leave and or disability pay. Any additional time the woman wishes to take off would be considered leave with- out pay and standard rules governing this form of leave would apply. We have written the policy included in this (Revised Draft, October 1978) draft of the Personnel Manual to comply with this law without making major changes in the total sick leave/ disability packages. We are continuing research on the legality -of the T.P.O.A. maternity leave policy and alternate sick leave/disability plans to reduce the City's financial liability. We will provi4e�up-dates as information is received. It is important that a decision on Maternity Leave be made prior to December 1, 197.8, -as we have a pregnant employee who is planning on starting her leave at that time. We will also have to apply the contract Savings Clause to change the current contract to cover employees until the new contract goes into effect. FROM: REVIST' DRAFT PERSONNEL MANUAL, OCTOBER 1978 (1 32) 7.6 Maternity Leave The maternity leave shall be covered by sick leave or disability pay during the period that the employee's doctor certifies "disability." The employee will be required to provide written certification before such payments are made. The length of leave, both prior to and after delivery, is a decision to be made by the woman and her doctor. Any time taken before or after the certified period must be taken as compensatory time, vacation time, or leave without pay, and regulations governing these forms of leave shall apply. The employee must notify the City Administrator in-writing of her intention to return to work (including date of return) prior to the commencement of her maternity leave, and she must re-affirm her intention to return to work within 15 days after delivery in order to assure that her position will be held open. An employee who confirms her intention to return to work in accordance with the above shall have her position held open until the date specified in her statement of inten- tion or re-a-Airmation to return to work. Vacancies created by such leavenwill be filled by temporary or Vdfditional ap- pointments. During the paL4periods of maternity leave, vacation leave, seniority, and time towards annual evaluations shall accrue. In addition, health and other insurance benefits will con- tinue without interruption. l)% " e e vlocl�, d t sa.ly . Pte, t%�.r►^GM/L.,... l�a.��ta wt�2 b� -t.�t•-e.u�c� cup, ee,•� . During periods without pay, rules governing leave and fringe benefits during "leave of absence without pay" shall apply (See Leave of Absence Without Pay, P. ). Pregnancy shall not constitute grounds for disciplinary action or dismissal. . 1fJARV UPDA; R: A WEEKLY NEWSLETTER VOLUME 1 ISSUE 38 NOVEMBER 9, 1978 561 REGISTERED The City registered 561 people to vote in the recent election.
