As provided for in that agreement, the City entered into negotiations with SLOPOA in April 1993, to develop a successor agreement. The City Council in closed session was briefed on April 20, 1993 on the various issues of mutual concern and economic considerations. The City's chief negotiator, Bill Avery, Personnel Director Ann Slate, and Ken Hampian, Assistant City Administrative Officer, met for several sessions with the Association's negotiating team headed by Paul Bechely. A closed session was held with Council again on November 23, 1993 where they reviewed an updated status report and Council authorized a tentative agreement. The agreement reflects and strengthens the continued cooperation between the Association and the City to address issues of mutual concern in a productive manner. Following is a summary of the significant changes and cost items included in the agreement. The agreement is within the economic guidelines previously discussed with Council. The Significant Issues: ■ TERM - One year ■ SALARY - No salary increases ■ INSURANCE CONTRIBUTION - Effective January 1 , 1994, an increase of $50.00 per month, from $350.00 to $400.00 per month, to be applied toward health insurance premiums. ■ POLICE ISSUES: There has been a modification to the overtime provisions which will allow employees in this bargaining unit to earn overtime at time and a half after the 160th hour in the 28 day work period.

Due to the minor changes to the prior agreement, the Association and the City 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 is not recommended as the agreement as presented is consistent with the Council's previous direction and the City's employer-employee relations policies. i (2) Defer adoption of the resolution. Likewise, this is not recommended since the current agreement has expired. AS:slt Attachment: Resolution Exhibit A I s:vo-ea-ea.oeod. RESOLUTION NO.
