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 SLOPSOA for the period of July 1,
2002 through June 30, 2004. SLOPSOA represents the Police Sergeants, Lieutenants and Captains.
DISCUSSION
In closed session on May 7, 2002, the City Council authorized staff to begin negotiations with
SLOPSOA and to develop a successor agreement to replace the current MOA, which expired June 30,
2000.
The City's bargaining team of Ann Slate,Karen Jenny and Bill Avery met with the SLOPSOA team on
March 22, April 16, June 12, August 16 and August 28. A tentative agreement has been reached,which
includes the addition of one new classification and the movement of two management classifications into
this bargaining unit. The substantive provisions of the agreement include:
Salary Increases:
Communications Records Supervisor
Sworn Supervisor & Communications Manager
Effective 7/02 4%
Effective 2/03 3%
Effective 7/03 3% 2%
Effective 1/04 2% 2% 2%
Effective in February 2003,the City's contribution(1%) to deferred compensation will cease for the
Records Supervisor and Communications Manager.
Retirement:
The agreement includes the 2.7% at 55 retirement formula for miscellaneous employees under the
similar cost-sharing provisions as other bargaining groups and the 3% at 50 retirement formula for
safety employees.
Sick leave payouts at retirement:
20% after 20 years of service with City of San Luis Obispo

25% after 25 years of service with City of San Luis Obispo
30% after 30 years of service with City of San Luis Obispo
Elimination of the current benefit of 10%payouts after ten years.
City Contribution to Cafeteria Plan:
Effective November, 2002, the current equal contribution of$400 per month to the City's cafeteria
plan for health insurance premiums will change to a graduated system of$290 per month for employee
only, $540 per month for employee plus one dependent, and $690 per month for family coverage. This
is the same as what the Police Officers' Association is receiving. The agreement includes a re-opener
to discuss changes to the City's contribution in July 2003.
Uniform Allowance:
The uniform allowance for employees required to wear uniforms will be increased from$775 to
$850 effective 7/02 and to $900 effective 7/03.
Overtime:
Language in the MOA will be modified to provide the sergeants who are eligible for overtime the
similar overtime provisions that are currently in place for the police officers, including an increase
of the maximum number of compensatory hours that an employee can accumulate from 48 to 80.
Reopener:
Should the City and POA 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 IMPACT
Total compensation for SLOPSOA is approximately $1,500,000 per year. The package as described
above costs approximately$86,100 in year one and$68,000 in year two. These costs do not include the
cost of implementing the 3%at 50 retirement formula for Police safety employees; a cost report has been
requested from PERS and is expected toward the end of October. Funding required to support FY 2002-
2003 is available in the existing fund balance. The second year costs will be included in the two-year
financial plan for 2003-05.
ALTERNATIVES
Because the MOA complies with previous Council direction, is similar to contracts recently
approved for other units (including SLOPOA), 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.
