REQUEST FOR CITY COUNCIL ACTION
DATE: 8/07/2019
TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council Members
FROM: Administrative Services Department
SUBJECT:
Title
City Council consideration of Side Letter Agreement with the Corona Police Supervisors Association.
End
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Recommended action
That the City Council approve the attached Side Letter of Agreement Modifying the 2018-2020 Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Corona and the Corona Police Supervisors Association.
Body
ANALYSIS:
After meeting and conferring in good faith, consistent with the requirements of the California Meyers-Millias-Brown-Act (MMBA), the City and the Corona Police Supervisors Association (CPSA) reached agreement for a successor Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) approved by the City Council on October 17, 2018. When updates were made to Section 3.2 to reflect the new terms, benefit language for Tier I Police Captains was inadvertently removed from the 2018-2020 MOU.
Prior to the successor MOU, Section 3.2 provided for a flexible benefit allowance for all CPSA members. For Tier I Police Captains, the flexible benefit allowance continues in retirement, if and when the member retires from the City. Tier I Police Captains are members hired by the City prior to January 1, 1999. During the successor MOU negotiations, the flexible benefit allowance of $1,500 per year for Police Captains while actively employed and $64 per year for all other members in the CPSA unit was eliminated. The elimination did not include the retirement flexible benefit allowance for Tier I Police Captains.
Section 3.2 of the MOU requires correction to realign the flexible benefit allowance back to indicate the Tier 1 Police Captains are eligible to receive the benefit when they retire from the City.
