SUBJECT: MEMORANDUM OF AGREEMENT(MOA)BETWEEN THE CITY
AND THE SAN LUIS OBISPO POLICE STAFF OFFICERS'
ASSOCIATION (SLOPSOA)
CAO RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a resolution approving the MOA between the City and SLPSOA for the period of July 1,
2000 through June 30,2002.
DISCUSSION
In closed session on April 4,the City Council authorized staff to begin negotiations with SLOPSOA
and to develop a successor agreement to replace the current MOA which expires June 30,2000.
The City's bargaining team of Ann Slate and Karen Jenny met with the SLOPSOA team on May 5,
2000. A tentative agreement was reached at that initial session and was approved in concept by the
City Council on June 6,2000. The agreement includes:
Salary Increases:
Year 1 2%, effective 7/00
2.5% 1/01
Year 2 2% 7/01
2.5% 1/02
In addition, Captains and Lieutenants will receive an additional 1%per year effective in July as
an equity/market adjustment.
Sick leave payouts at retirement:
20%after 25 years of service with City of San Luis Obispo
25%after 30 years of service with City of San Luis Obispo
This extends the current benefit of 101/o after ten years and 15%after 20 years.
Holiday:
One additional holiday will be granted for a total of 13 holidays. Currently, all other employee
groups except the POA have 13 holidays. Department heads received a 13'holiday this year as
well.

Holiday nay:
Employees will receive holiday pay in lieu of time off for half of their total holiday allotment.
They will receive a total of 13 days or 104 hours. Of that, 52 hours would be paid to them semi-
monthly, as holiday pay in each paycheck. The remaining 52 hours could be taken as time off or
cashed out quarterly. Potentially, an employee could receive pay for all of his holiday leave, the
full 104 hours. This is what is currently available to Fire Department safety employees.
They are already eligible to cash out 40 hours of administrative leave and 40 hours of vacation
leave for a total of 80 hours. They are willing to discontinue the cash out of 40 hours of
administrative leave in lieu of holiday pay(52 hours in pay and 52 either leave or cash out for a
total of 104 hours).
Overtime:
Language in the MOA will be modified to provide the sergeants who are eligible for overtime the
same shift adjustment provisions that are currently in place for the police officers.
Reopen :
Should the City and POA in their negotiations, which are currently underway, agree to any
modifications to the PERS Police Retirement Plan, the City would agree to meet and confer with
SLOPSOA (which is actually required by state law). Any enhancements to the retirement plan that
SLOPSOA may receive would be cost neutral to the City with the employees bearing any and all
costs,including both short-and long-term costs.
FISCAL II"ACT
Total compensation for SLOPSOA is currently$1,226,400 per year. The package as described above
costs approximately $57,000 in year one and $46,000 in year two. Funding required to support FY
2000-2001 will be included as a part of the recommended 2000-01 budget. The second year costs will
be included in the two year financial plan for 2001-02.
ALTERNATIVES
Because the MOA complies with previous Council direction and demonstrates the City's and
SLOPSOA's willingness and ability to craft a mutually satisfactory agreement in a.timely and
collaborative manner,no alternatives are presented for Council consideration.
