Cook, City Administrator i_ )VtZA,a- P. 0. Prepared by: Robert J. Franz, Deputy City Administrator Subject: Memorandum of Understanding - Police Management Associ tion Consistent with Council Policy? [X] Yes [ ] New Policy or Exception Tor,- .20�S$SS Statement of Issue, Recommendation, Analysis, Funding Source, Alternative Actions, Attachments: Objective: To approve a three year memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Police Management Association (PMA). Recommendation: Adopt the attached Resolution approving a three year memorandum of understanding with the Police Management Association. Analysis: Police captains and lieutenants are represented by the Police Management Association. Prior to the last few years, these classifications were represented by the Police Officers' Association. The captains chose to form their own unit in 1984 and the police lieutenants were added to their unit in late 1986. The prior two year MOU. expired January 1, 1988. Staff and the PMA have been meeting at various times since last fall to discuss a new memorandum of understanding for this group. Salaries for captains and lieutenants are tied by the MOU to the salary rates of police sergeants. This was done at the time of forming this unit to guarantee to these individuals that the salary differential between ranks in the Police Department would at least be maintained at the level they were when the new bargaining unit was formed. This means that these individuals automatically receive a salary adjustment when salaries are adjusted for the police sergeant rank. The City position for adjusting the police sergeants salaries is to provide a 4.5 o salary increase (as a part of a three year proposal presented to the Police Officers' Association), and an inequity adjustment of an additional 2 % in the first year of the three year proposal. This same offer was made to the Police Management Association and agreement was reached on a three year memorandum of understanding with these salary adjustments in the first year. No salary adjustment is specified for the captains or lieutenants in years two or three of this three year memorandum of understanding, and therefore the only adjustment in those years would be the adjustment that is tied to the increase granted to the police sergeant classification in year two and year three. The only other changes in this memorandum of understanding are minor to bring the salary and benefits provisions and work rules in compliance with those covering other management employees. Alternative: 1. Do not approve the memorandum of understanding.. 2. Request further meeting and conferring. - Funding Source: 1987/88 Budget. Attachments: 1. Resolution 2.
