On April 17, 2001, Service Employees International Union, Local 519 filed a petition for investigation of a question concerning representation with the Public Employment Relations Commission, involving certain employees of City of Redmond. As a result of prelimi­nary processing of the petition, the Commission determined the question concerning representation, and issues concerning the eligibil­ity of certain employees for inclusion in the bargaining unit were reserved for subsequent determination. The tally indicated that Service Employees International Union, Local 519 was entitled to certifica­tion in the matter, and that the reserved eligibil­ity issues were not of a suffi­cient number to affect the outcome of the proceedings.

An interim certification was issued in this matter, as City of Redmond, Decision 7814-A (PECB, 2002), for the bargaining unit described as:

ALL FULL-TIME AND REGULAR PART-TIME SUPERVISORY UNIFORMED PERSONNEL EMPLOYED BY THE CITY OF REDMOND IN ITS POLICE DEPARTMENT, EXCLUDING ELECTED OFFICIALS, OFFICIALS APPOINTED FOR A FIXED TERM OF OFFICE, CONFIDENTIAL EMPLOYEES, NON-SUPERVISORY EMPLOYEES, AND NON-UNIFORMED EMPLOYEES.

The proceeding was held open to resolve the eligibility disputes previously framed by the parties.

Prior to issuance of a decision on the eligibility issues, the parties resolved their differences. It therefore appears that all issues that could properly be addressed in this representation proceeding have been resolved, and that no further proceed­ings are necessary.

NOW, THEREFORE, it is

ORDERED

1.                  The interim certification issued in this matter will stand as the final certifi­cation in this representation proceed­ing.

2.                  The above-captioned matter is CLOSED.

Issued at Olympia, Washington, on the 12th day of March, 2003.
