RECOMMENDED ACTION
Direct the City Attorney to prepare and authorize the City Manager and Clerk of the Council to
execute an agreement with the Police Officers' Association regarding wages and other terms
and conditions of employment.
DISCUSSION
The City and the Police Officers' Association (POA) recently completed negotiations per a
reopener provision in the current contract for fiscal years 2011-2013. Listed below are the key
agreements resulting from these negotiations. The contract expiration date remains June 30,
2013.
Salary Increase. The current contract provided a 3% salary increase effective July 1, 2011 and
a 3.5% salary increase effective July 1, 2012. In this agreement, POA will contribute 2% of the
3% increase, and the entire 3.5% increase, toward the City's pension (PERS) payment
obligation. However, the City must return the 3.5% salary increase, retroactive to July 1, 2012, if
it does not receive an equal or greater retirement contribution from the other safety units and
employees (i.e., Police Management Association, Fire Management Association, Police Chief
and Fire Chief).
Retiree Health Insurance. The City's contribution of .75% of POA payroll toward the unit's
retiree health insurance plan will be deferred from January 1, 2012 to October 1, 2012. In
addition, the .75% payment due on October 1, 2012 will be deferred until January 1, 2013.
