The Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the City and the San Luis Obispo Police Staff
Officers' Association (POA) expired on June 30, 1996 after a period of 2 years.
After receiving direction from the City Council in June of this year, the City entered into
negotiations with the POA to develop a successor agreement. The City's negotiators were Ann
Slate, Personnel Director, and Ken Hampian, Assistant City Administrative Officer. The
Association's negotiating team consisted of Sergeant Jim English, Sergeant Bud Silva, and
Lieutenant Gary Orback of the Police Department.
A tentative agreement has been reached which was ratified by the Association membership. The
agreement reflects and strengthens the continued cooperation between the Association and the
City to address issues of mutual concern in a productive manner. The following is a summary
of the significant changes and cost items included in the agreement:
