   As you may recall, on November 14, 1995, the Department of
   Personnel Administration (DPA) issued Personnel Management
   Liaison Memo 95-051 announcing a limited one-year
   agreement with the California Union of Safety Employees
   (CAUSE).  The temporary agreement was effective October 1,
   1995, and was due to expire September 30, 1996. 
   
   I am pleased to announce that CAUSE and the State have
   agreed to continue this agreement for another year.
   
   Among its several provisions, this new temporary agreement
   provides: (1) all aspects of the release time provisions
   (Section 2.1, 2.8, 2.9, 9.6, and 9.7) of the expired
   Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) will continue in full
   force and effect including contribution, banking, and
   accrual of hours as well as the use of release time, union
   leave, and release time credits; (2) the State can
   continue to compensate any Unit 7 employee with either
   cash or compensating time off, pursuant to Section 7.6 of
   the expired MOU; and (3) all other aspects of the June 27,
   1995, memorandum from David J. Tirapelle remain in effect
   except as modified by this agreement.  In addition, the
   agreement includes some specific provisions affecting only
   the Department of Justice, the Department of Motor
   Vehicles, and the California Conservation Corps.
   
   Questions regarding any of the above may be directed to me
   at (916) 324-0505 or Calnet 454-0505.
