The purpose of this ordinance is to authorize a letter of agreement with LiUNA-Rec to implement the premium pay. The Portland Parks Bureau will be able to pay Assistants/Aides in Preschool classrooms in alignment with the Multnomah County Preschool for All program requirements.
Not applicable.
Multnomah County runs the Preschool for All Program to provide tuition-free preschool for 3- and 4-year olds that will serve community in the City of Portland . There are no other anticipated community impacts to this agreement. This action is largely internal to City government processes.
The total wages and wage-driven benefits for the preschool support staff are expected to be between $820,000 and $1.2 million for the fiscal year 2026-27. The actual amount will depend in part on the wage step placement of the staff and their eligibility for retirement benefits. The costs for the preschool support staff are 100% funded by the Preschool for All program through a Multnomah County income tax.
Not applicable.
