Employment for Classifications Represented by the Santa Ana Management Association,
Effective July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025, and Adoption of a Resolution Updating the
Salary Schedule for Associated Unrepresented Classifications
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1.Authorize the City Manager to execute a Memorandum of Understanding with the

DISCUSSION
The City recently reached a tentative agreement with SAMA on a three (3) year successor
Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) effective July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2025.
The tentative agreement has been ratified by SAMA membership. The major provisions
of the agreement include: salary increases of three percent (3%) retroactive to July 1,
2022, three percent (3%) in July 2023, and three percent (3%) in July 2024; recognizing
Cesar Chavez holiday; winter holiday closure language; increasing City medical
contributions by one hundred dollars ($100) per month effective the first full pay period
following City Council approval of the MOU, fifty dollars ($50) per month in January 2024,
and fifty dollars ($50) per month in January 2025; and increasing management vacation
hours from sixty-five (65) to eighty (80) hours per year.
Notably, at staff recommendation, the parties agreed to provide eligible employees with
up to eight (8) weeks of City (employer)-paid parental leave for the birth, adoption, or
foster of a child. The City of Santa Ana will be the first public agency in Orange County

and one of the first, if not the first, public agency in California and/or United States to offer
such a benefit.
Other key terms of the agreement include: updated discipline and grievance processes;
acting pay language; constructive receipt language; bilingual pay recertification every
three (3) years (for employees who receive bilingual pay); reducing the number of unused
sick leave hours that may be converted to CalPERS service credit to eighty (80) for
current employees and eliminating the option to convert unused sick leave hours to
CalPERS service credit for future employees; modifying the maximum amount of sick
leave that may be converted to employees’ retirement health savings or 457 deferred
compensation accounts from one thousand two hundred (1,200) hours to two thousand
(2,000) hours; new employees hired after City Council approval of the MOU will accrue a
maximum of three hundred fifty-two (352) sick leave hours with any accrued hours over
the maximum cashed out into employees’ retirement health savings accounts in January
each year; increasing management vacation accrual from sixty-five (65) hours to eighty
(80) hours per year; modifying the number of management vacation hours that can be
cashed out from forty (40) to eighty (80); and clarifying language on issues of
employment.
Lastly, pursuant to Resolution No. 2021-026, there are unrepresented classifications that
mirror the salary increases and terms and conditions of employment of SAMA. The
attached Resolution merely updates the respective salary schedule of the unrepresented
classifications as a result of the salary increases provided to SAMA.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with this action.
FISCAL IMPACT
The estimated annual cost of the agreement during the three (3) year period is $293,917
for FY 2022-23, $1,047,333 for FY 2023-24, and $1,456,521 for FY 2024-25, for a total
estimated cost of $2,797,770. The estimated annual cost for the associated
unrepresented classifications during the three (3) year period is $38,399 for FY 2022-23,
$127,672 for FY 2023-24, and $180,264 for FY 2024-25 for a total estimated cost of
$346,336. Approximately 64% is paid by the General Fund.
The FY 22-23 budget includes sufficient funding for the first-year cost of the agreement.
The proposed FY23-24 budget includes an allocation of $676,819 for SAMA negotiations.
If the City Council adopts this MOU, the FY23-24 budget will be short $498,186
($1,175,005 estimated cost, less $676,819 allocated); and staff will need to develop a
recommendation to address the shortfall in a future quarterly budget report.

“17” inclusive, with Step “1” being the lowest or minimum rate of the range, Step
“9” the middle or midpoint rate of the range, and Step “17” being the highest or
maximum rate. The purpose of each step and criteria for advancement are set forth
in Section 5.8(A).

5.6 Beginning Rates
A.Middle Management Classifications. An employee appointed to a Middle
Management classification shall be compensated at any rate within the lower third
of the 17 step salary rate range (Steps “1” through “6”) for their job classification
as authorized by the Appointing Authority. When economic conditions, unusual
employment conditions, or exceptional qualifications of a candidate for
employment indicate a higher rate would be in the City’s best interest, the City
Manager may authorize hiring at a higher rate in the salary rate range but this higher
rate generally shall not be above the midpoint (Step “9”).
B.Administrative Management Classifications. An employee appointed to an
Administrative Management classification may be placed by the Appointing
Authority at any step within the applicable five (5) step salary rate range (Steps “A”
through “E”) in the schedule to which the classification has been assigned, provided
that such employee shall be assigned such salary step upon the commencement of
their service in said classification and such assignment having once been made shall
SANTA ANA MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION (SAMA) MOU: 2022-2025 10
remain in effect until the said employee shall be entitled to advance to the next
salary step in accordance with the further provisions of this Article.
5.7 Service. The word “service” as used in this MOU shall be deemed to mean continuous,
full-time service in the classification in which the employee is being considered for salary
advancement, service in the higher classification or service in a classification allocated to
the same salary rate range and having generally similar duties and requirements.
Notwithstanding the above, employees in classifications represented by SAMA who are
hired after the first (1st) working day of the month shall not be credited with time in service
for that month when determining the length of service for salary advancement.
A lapse of service by an employee for a period of time longer than ten (10) calendar days,
by reason of resignation, quit, or discharge, shall serve to eliminate the accumulated length
of service time of such employee for the purpose of this MOU, and any such employee
reentering the service of the City shall be considered as a new employee, except that they
may be reappointed as provided in Santa Ana Municipal Code (SAMC) Section 9-114 and
may be placed in the same salary step in the appropriate salary rate range as they were at
the time of termination of employment.
5.8 Advancement Within Ranges
A.Middle Management Classes: The following provisions shall govern salary
advancement within rate ranges for employees employed in SAMA Middle
Management classes:
1.Steps “1” through “15” Advancement: For any employee in a Middle
Management classification covered by this MOU who has been initially
appointed to a step lower than Step “15”, advancement in the Middle
Management schedule of salary rate ranges may be granted only for
continued meritorious and efficient service by said employee in the
effective performance of the duties of their position. Such advancement
shall be in two (2) step increments, each step being equivalent to two and
one-half percent (2.5%), for a total increase of five percent (5%) per year,
until Step “15” is achieved. For example, an employee shall advance from
Step 1 to Step 3, Step 3 to Step 5, Step 5 to Step 7, Step 7 to Step 9, Step 9
to Step 11, Step 11 to Step 13, or Step 13 to Step 15. The effective date of
such merit step increase, if granted, shall be the first (1st) day of the month
following the completion of one (1) year of service at the step from which
said employee is being advanced. Effective the first full pay period
SANTA ANA MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION (SAMA) MOU: 2022-2025 11
following City Council approval of this 2022-2025 MOU, the effective date
of such merit step increase, if granted, shall be the first (1st) day of the pay
period following completion of one (1) year of service at the step from
which said employee is being advanced.
2.Advancement to Steps “16” and “17”: Any employee in a Middle
Management classification covered by this MOU, who has reached Step
“15” or Step “16” in the Middle Management schedule of salary rate ranges,
may advance to the next higher step in the Middle Management schedule of
salary rate ranges only for continued meritorious and efficient service by
said employee in the effective performance of the duties of their position.
Such advancement shall be in one-step increments, each step being
equivalent to two and one-half percent (2.5%) per year until Step “17” is
achieved. For example, an employee covered by this MOU shall advance
from Step “15” to Step “16”, and Step “16” to Step “17”, respectively.
3.A Middle Management employee who previously advanced through the
steps of each salary rate range using their initial date of hire into a middle
management class shall retain that date as the anniversary date for purposes
of advancing through the steps of each salary rate range while in their
current class and for any subsequent promotions to a Middle Management
class. The effective date of such merit step increase, if granted, shall be the
first (1st) day of the month following the anniversary date. Effective the
first full pay period following City Council approval of this 2022-2025
MOU, the effective date of such merit step increase, if granted shall be the
first full pay period following the anniversary date.

time of such employee subsequent to their last salary advancement.
b.The Appointing Authority, at least twenty (20) calendar days prior
to the anticipated completion of such employee’s required length of
service, shall file with the City Manager or their designee a

provisions of Section 5.9(A).
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection to the
contrary, a merit step advance shall be automatically granted ninety
(90) days after the due date if no performance appraisal is
completed. The effective date of such merit step advancement shall
be retroactive to the first (1st) day of the month following the
completion of the required length of service. Effective the first full
pay period following City Council approval of this 2022-2025
MOU, the effective date of such merit step advancement shall be
retroactive to the first full pay period following the completion of
the required length of service.
4.When an employee in a Middle Management classification has not been
approved for advancement to the next higher salary step, they may be
reconsidered for such advancement after the completion of three (3) months
of additional continued service in the classification and shall be
reconsidered for advancement to the next higher step above their then
current step after the completion of six (6) months of additional continued
service in the classification.
5.An employee in a Middle Management classification who is being paid at
any salary step above Step “1” may be reduced to the next lower step in the
appropriate salary rate range upon the recommendation of the Appointing
Authority and the approval of the City Manager or their designee.

from Step “B,” etc.) may be granted only for continued meritorious and
efficient service by said employee in the effective performance of the duties
of their position. The effective date of such merit step increase, if granted,
shall be the first (1st) day of the month following the completion of one (1)
year of service at the step from which said employee is being advanced.
Effective the first full pay period following City Council approval of this
MOU, the effective date of such merit step increase, if granted, shall be the
first (1st) day of the pay period following completion of one (1) year of

to the anticipated completion of such employee’s required length of
service, shall file with the City Manager a statement recommending
the granting or denial of the merit increase and supporting such a

recommendations and shall be informed of the reasons.
c.
d.
No advancement in salary shall become effective until approved by
the City Manager, except when placement on a salary step above

5.9(B).
Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this subsection to the

retroactive to the first (1st) day of the month following the
SANTA ANA MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION (SAMA) MOU: 2022-2025 14
completion of the required length of service. Effective the first full
pay period following City Council approval of this MOU, the
effective date of such merit step increase shall be retroactive to the
first full pay period following the completion of the required length
of service.
2.When any such employee in a classification designated as Administrative
Management (AM) has not been approved for advancement to the next
higher salary step, they may be reconsidered for such advancement after the
completion of three (3) months of additional service and shall be
reconsidered for advancement to the next higher step above their then
current step after the completion of six (6) months of additional service.
This reconsideration shall follow the same steps and shall be subject to the
same actions as provided in Subsection 5.8(B)(1).
3.Any employee in an Administrative Management classification who is
being paid at any salary step above “A” may be reduced to the next lower
step in the appropriate salary rate range upon the recommendation of the
Executive Director and the approval of the City Manager. Procedure for

B.
C.
No employee shall be entitled to, or receive payment for, any vacation until they
have completed six (6) months of continuous service.
On or after the first (1st) day of the month following completion of six (6) months
of continuous full-time service, an employee may be allowed to take all or a
SANTA ANA MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION (SAMA) MOU: 2022-2025 24
proportionate fraction of their earned vacation, subject to scheduling approval of
the employee’s supervisor.
D.
E.
Vacation time off may be taken in increments as small as one-half (1/2) hour, with
fractional usage rounded upward to the next higher multiple of one-half (1/2).
The time at which an employee shall take their vacation shall be determined by the
Department Head, with due regard for the wishes of the employee and particular
regard for the needs of the City to provide basic services.
F.Computation of Vacation.
1.In computing vacation, each municipal holiday that occurs during the
vacation, and that falls on a day which the employee would have worked
had they not been on vacation, shall be deducted from the computation so
that one (1) additional day of vacation shall be allowed to the employee
unless departmental practice provides some other manner of compensating
for municipal holidays. Should an employee suffer a sickness or injury
while on authorized vacation, each full day of such sick leave, when
confirmed by a physician’s statement and approved by the Executive
Director, may be deducted from the computation of vacation expended and
charged against the employee’s accumulated sick leave.
2.A period of earlier service does not apply toward the calculation of the
completed years of service factor for vacation accrual when an employee
has had a break in continuous service, unless the break in service is
concluded by reappointment, as provided in Section 9-114 of the Civil
Service Rules and Regulations, or by reemployment from layoff within one
(1) year. Leave of absence without pay, as provided in Section 10.1(E)
(Sick Leave - Extended), Section 10.7 (Authorized Absence Without Pay -
Long Term) and Section 10.11 (Catastrophic Leave) herein, does not
constitute a break in continuous service as used in this section; however, the
leave of absence period shall not be applied toward the accumulation of
vacation. Absence on military leave followed by reinstatement, as provided
in Section 9-143 of the Civil Service Rules and Regulations, does not
constitute a break in service, and the period of absence on such military
leave shall be applied toward the accumulation of vacation.
SANTA ANA MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION (SAMA) MOU: 2022-2025 25
3.Vacation Buy-Back.
a. Through December 31, 2023
1. Employees are eligible to require the City to buy back up to
eighty (80) hours of their banked vacation leave per fiscal year.
2. Employees are eligible to require the City to buy back up to forty
(40) hours of their banked management vacation leave once each
calendar year. Upon City Council approval of this 2022-2025
MOU, employees are eligible to require the City to buy back up
to eighty (80) hours of their banked management vacation leave
once each calendar year.
b.Effective January 1, 2024 and continuing every year thereafter
1. If an employee wants to cash-out unused vacation leave they
accrued during the calendar year, they must make an irrevocable
election by December 15th of the prior calendar year (i.e., by
December 15, 2023 for a cash-out in calendar year 2024). The
provisions of Section 9.2(F)(3)(b) shall also apply to
management vacation leave.
2. The irrevocable election must indicate the amount of vacation
hours the employee intends to cash-out during the next calendar
year.
The number of hours to be cashed-out cannot exceed the total
number of hours the employee will accrue during that same
calendar year, or a maximum of eighty (80) hours, whichever is
the lesser amount.
3. Once the election form is submitted to Payroll, the amount of
hours to be cashed-out cannot be changed for that calendar year.
4. Employees may submit a request for cash-out up to two (2) times
per year for payment the pay period which includes July 1 and/or
December 15.
5. In the event an employee’s vacation leave balance (on either pay
period when they can elect to cash-out) is less than the amount
of hours the employee had previously elected to cash-out (in the
prior calendar year), the employee will only receive payment for
SANTA ANA MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION (SAMA) MOU: 2022-2025 26
the amount of accumulated vacation leave remaining at the time
of the cash-out in either July or December.
6. If an employee makes an irrevocable election to cash-out
vacation in the following calendar year and uses vacation leave
during that subsequent calendar year, the vacation leave used
will first come from vacation leave the employee had earned (if
any) prior to January 1st of the calendar year the employee had
elected to cash-out. The use of such earned, but unused, vacation
leave accumulated from previous calendar years shall not result
in a reduction in the amount of vacation hours the employee is
eligible to cash-out.
9.3 Vacation Carry Over
A.No employee may carry over from one (1) calendar year to the next, more than the
maximum vacation carryover as set forth in the following table. Any vacation not
used beyond the maximum carryover amount from year to year is forfeited,
meaning that no pay shall be received for such unused vacation at any time. With
respect to any vacation forfeited in this manner, this provision constitutes a waiver
of any rights to vested vacation benefits under California Labor Code section 227.3.

10.0 OTHER LEAVES OF ABSENCE
10.1 Sick Leave.
A.Definition. Except as otherwise provided below, sick leave shall be deemed to
mean absence from duty of an employee because of illness, injury, medical, or
dental appointment that prevents the employee from performing the duties of their
position, and shall be deemed to include time in quarantine resulting from exposure
to a contagious disease.
B.Accrual. Each employee shall be entitled to, and shall earn, one (1), eight (8) hour
working day of sick leave for each full calendar month of service in which they are
employed by the City with full pay; provided, however, any absence on sick leave
for a period of time greater than fifteen (15) consecutive calendar days in any one
(1) calendar month shall not be considered to be service entitling an employee to
earn sick leave as aforesaid. Subject to the other provisions in this Article, sick
leave shall accrue to the credit of each employee to the extent that it is not used.
C.Authorized Only When Necessary. Use of sick leave by City employees shall be
authorized as follows:
1.Sick leave is not a right which an employee may use at their discretion, but
shall be allowed only in cases of necessity and actual sickness or disability,
or as authorized in Section 10.1(J).
2.When an accepted industrial illness or injury has caused an employee’s
absence, for which benefits are required under the State Workers’
Compensation Insurance and Safety Act, paid sick leave will be allowed
such employee during the first three (3) days of the statutory waiting period.
If the workers’ compensation related illness or injury continues past the
initial three (3) consecutive days, the employee will have the three (3) used
sick days recredited to their account, if the employee remains off work
longer than fourteen (14) days. Paid sick leave will continue until the fourth
(4th) day when the City pays the employee workers’ compensation benefits
for such illness or injury. If the employee does not have sufficient
accumulated sick leave at the commencement of such industrial illness or
injury, they will be advanced sick leave for this purpose. Subsequently, the
City will deduct an equal amount previously advanced from any sick leave
accrued by the employee until the total amount is recovered. If the
employee terminates before recovery of all advanced sick leave, the City
SANTA ANA MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION (SAMA) MOU: 2022-2025 29
will deduct the unrecovered cost of sick leave from such terminated
employee’s final paycheck, to the extent possible.
The City may authorize employees to use sick leave or vacation time for
approved workers’ compensation medical appointments as specified herein.
The City may authorize use of such leave for City approved medical
appointments whenever such appointments cannot be secured outside the
employee’s regular workday, and salary continuation or workers’
compensation benefits are not available.
D.Limit.
For all employees in the bargaining unit or who are currently employed by the City
in a full-time position at the time of City Council approval of this 2022-2025 MOU,
the maximum total accumulation of sick leave with pay shall be two hundred fifty
(250) eight (8) hour working days equal to two thousand (2,000) hours.
For employees hired as new employees from outside the City into this bargaining
unit on or after the date of City Council approval of this 2022-2025 MOU, the
maximum amount of sick leave they may carry over into a calendar year is three
hundred and fifty-two (352) hours.
Any sick leave accrual above three hundred and fifty-two (352) hours (up to ninety-
six (96) hours) will be converted into an employee’s Retirement Health Savings
(“RHS”) Plan account during the first full pay period in January of each year.
Sick leave usage of less than a full day shall be charged in minimum increments of
one-half (1/2) hour, with fractional usage rounded upward to the next higher
multiple of one-half (1/2) hour.
E.Extended. The City Manager may grant leave up to six (6) months without pay to
an employee who has exhausted all of their accrued sick leave if a licensed
physician designated by the City Manager indicates that the employee will be
sufficiently recovered to return to their employment within a six (6) month period.
Prior to the expiration of the additional time, the employee may return to their
position provided that the employee has a certificate from the designated physician
stating that the employee is able to perform all the duties of their position without
qualification. In addition to the above, the City Manager may grant a further
extension not to exceed a total of one (1) year without pay.
F.Extension by Use of Vacation. After an employee’s sick leave has been exhausted,
they may be granted permission to take any unused vacation leave benefits they
may have accrued.

either prior to or within four (4) hours after the time they are scheduled to report
for duty, or as otherwise established by departmental regulations. When the
absence is more than three (3) consecutive working days, the employee must
present to their Executive Director a physician’s certificate stating the cause of
illness and that, in the physician’s opinion, the employee could not report to work
because of such illness or injury and that the employee is sufficiently recovered to
safely return to work. Such certificate shall be transmitted to the Executive Director
of Human Resources with the report of the employee’s return to work.
A physician’s certificate or other satisfactory written evidence of actual illness or
injury may be required after an absence of any duration less than three (3) days.
H.Denial. No employee shall be entitled to sick leave with pay while absent from
duty because of sickness or injury purposely self-inflicted or caused by willful
misconduct, or sickness or disability sustained while engaged in employment other
than employment by the City, for monetary gain or other compensation, or by
reason of engaging in business or activity for monetary gain or other compensation.
I.
J.
Excess Usage. If sick leave is used in excess of that due and available an employee,
such excess sick leave will, first, be deducted from any available vacation leave
benefit; second, from the next scheduled salary payment.

forty-eight (48) hours of sick leave per calendar year, on a non-cumulative basis,
as personal necessity leave. All of this personal necessity leave may be used to

accident to members of the employee’s immediate family; b) childbirth; c) to cope
with imminent danger to the employee’s family, home, or other valuable property;
d) when the existence of external circumstances beyond the employee’s control
make it impossible for them to report for duty; or e) attend to medical or dental
SANTA ANA MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION (SAMA) MOU: 2022-2025 31
appointments for members of the employee’s household. For the purposes of this
section only, a “day” shall be defined as the number of hours of work that an
employee is required to work according to their specific workday schedule.

to purchase up to four (4) years of service credit for any continuous active military or
merchant marine service prior to employment. The employee must contribute an amount
equal to the contribution for current and prior service that the employee and the employer
would have made with respect to that period of service.
13.5 2.7% at 55 Service Retirement Benefit for Classic Miscellaneous Members. The City
agrees to provide Miscellaneous employees covered by this MOU with the 2.7% at 55

employer cost (i.e., employer contribution) in accordance with Government Code Section
20516(f). The parties acknowledge that this provision has been mutually negotiated and
incorporated as an essential element of the parties’ MOU. In the event that either party
wishes to modify this provision in a successor MOU, the parties intend for this provision
to remain unchanged until a successor MOU is ratified or impasse procedures have been
concluded.
Pre-Taxable Benefit. To the extent permitted by CalPERS and Internal Revenue Service
regulations, the City shall make the above employee deductions pre-tax contributions.
13.6 For “New Members” within the meaning of the California Public Employees’ Pension
Reform Act (“PEPRA”) of 2013.
The PEPRA went into effect on January 1, 2013. The parties agree that if there is any other
clean up or other retirement legislation which goes into effect during this MOU and if there
are provisions of that legislation which, by law, automatically goes into effect, either party
may request to negotiate over the legislation, including over the impact.

Section 1. The City Council of the City of Santa Ana hereby finds, determines, and
declares as follows:
A. Section 1004 of the City Charter of the City of Santa Ana requires the City
Manager to prepare, install, and maintain a position classification and pay plan
subject to civil service rules and regulations and the approval of the City
Council.
B. It is the City’s practice to assign job titles that reflect the duties and
responsibilities of the classification and are consistent with other classifications
within the City’s organizational structure, as well as comparable job titles in the
labor market, while maintaining internal pay equity relationships and attracting
and retaining qualified candidates.
C. The City Council regularly amends the City’s classification and compensation
plan for all full-time and part-time classifications of officers and employees of
the City of Santa Ana.
D. On June 1, 2021, the City Council adopted Resolution 2021-026 establishing
and delineating the compensation and benefit plans for classifications
designated as Unrepresented Confidential Middle-Management (CMM) and
Unrepresented Confidential Administrative Management (CAM) affording these
classifications the same provisions and/or changes in salaries, compensation,
and other benefits, unless specified otherwise, as provided to classifications
represented by the Santa Ana Management Association (SAMA).
E. The City has reached an agreement with SAMA for a new memorandum of
understanding which includes a three percent (3%) salary increase
retroactively effective July 1, 2022, a three percent (3%) salary increase
effective the first full pay period after July 1, 2023, and a three percent (3%)
salary increase effective the first full pay period after July 1, 2024.
F. It is now desired to amend the City’s classification and compensation plan.
