Adopt a resolution authorizing approval of an amendment to Section 14 of the current Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Extra-Help units of American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) and Service Employees International Union (SEIU) for the term of January 23, 2022, through October 5, 2024.
