Home My WebLink About10/26/1993, C-8 - MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT illl�l�lllllllll��lllll II city f MEETING DATE: �i�llll CI o $an LUl$ OBI$po 10/26/93 MaliI COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT ITEM NUMBER: FROM: Wendy George, Acting Personnel Director SUBJECT: Memorandum of Agreement CAO RECOMMENDATION: Adopt resolution approving the Memorandum of Agreement between the City of San Luis Obispo Fire Battalion Chiefs' Association for the period 7/1/93 - 6/30/94. DISCUSSION: The Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the City of San Luis Obispo and the San Luis Obispo Fire Battalion Chiefs' Association expired on June 30, 1993, after a term of five years. As provided for in that agreement, the City entered into negotiations with the Association in May, 1993, to develop a successor agreement. The City's negotiators, Wendy George, Acting Personnel Director, and Ken Hampian, Assistant City Administrator, met for several sessions with the Association members, Battalion Chiefs Steve Smith, Ken McCool, Jerry Arnett and Lew Schmutz. The following agreement was reached which basically parallels that reached earlier with the San Luis Obispo Police Staff Officers' Association. The Significant Issues: TERM - One Year SALARY - No increase INSURANCE CONTRIBUTION - Effective the first full pay period in July, 1993, an increase of$25.00 per month, from $350 to $375 per month to be applied toward health insurance premiums. UNIFORM ALLOWANCE - Effective July 1, 1993, the annual uniform allowance shall be increased $100 from $600 to $700. LANGUAGE CLARIFICATION - Language was changed in Article 24, Full Agreement, to provide better clarification of what the article means. The existing language was contradictory and use of the same language in the Firefighters' Association agreement led to a grievance last year. ��►�IIIIVIIIIIf11Pp1 ��III city of san tins oBispo COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT FISCAL IMPACT: Estimated costs in this agreement are approximately $1700. Due to the minor changes to the prior agreement, we have decided not to reprint an entire MOA. Therefore, the normal printing costs associated with a new agreement will be avoided. ALTERNATIVES: (1) Do not approve the resolution and direct staff to negotiate a different successor agreement. This action is not recommended as the agreement presented is consistent with i the previously approved Police Staff Officers' MOA and the City's employer-employee relations policies. i (2) Defer adoption of the resolution. Likewise, this alternative is not recommended since the current agreement has expired. Attachment: Resolution Exhibit A I RESOLUTION NO.
