BACKGROUND
On June 30, 2025, the Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) with all City bargaining groups expired. In anticipation of this, designated City staff and labor representatives engaged in good faith negotiations regarding compensation, as well as terms and conditions of employment.

On July 15, 2025, the City Council approved MOUs with four (4) out of the six (6) bargaining groups. Negotiations were still in progress with the remaining two (2) groups, the Teamsters Local 1932 Professional, Technical and Clerical Unit (Teamsters) and American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME).

Throughout the negotiation process, City representatives sought guidance and authorization from the City Council to respond to proposals, ensuring alignment with the needs of the broader eligible workforce and the City’s available resources. A tentative agreement has now been reached with the Teamsters Unit that includes a competitive salary and benefits package aimed at attracting and retaining highly qualified employees. Negotiations are ongoing with one (1) remaining group: AFSCME.

ISSUES/ANALYSIS
The City’s negotiations team worked collaboratively with the Teamsters Unit to reach a fair and equitable agreement through open communication and good faith bargaining. Compensation and benefits were determined based on current economic conditions and a review of the group’s previous agreement.

A key focus of the negotiations process was refining the language in the agreement to improve clarity and ensure consistency. The team also prioritized developing a comprehensive Teamsters MOU, incorporating previously approved side letters to enhance transparency around salary and benefits.

The City has now reached a tentative agreement with Teamsters for the period of July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2027. As part of the agreement, the Teamsters Unit has agreed to a three percent (3%) cost of living adjustment (COLA) and an additional fifty one cents ($0.51) per hour added to each represented classification, effective the first full pay period following City Council’s approval.

The $0.51 per hour that the Teamsters Unit will receive over what was provided to other bargaining units for their COLA is based upon and the result of the group’s elimination and/or relinquishment of any right or claim to any City deferred compensation matching benefit.

The Teamsters MOU includes updates to salaries and benefits, which are outlined in detail under Resolution No. 2025-064. If adopted by City Council, Resolution No. 2025-064 will provide employees with:
 A 3% COLA and an additional $0.51 per hour applied to each represented classification under the Teamsters Unit, effective the first full pay period after City Council approval.  A 3% COLA, effective the beginning of the pay period including July 1, 2026.  Cash out of unused banked holidays at the end of each fiscal year.  Increase from $100 to $160 per month for Bilingual Pay for eligible employees. Code Compliance Inspectors who currently receive Bilingual Pay will continue to receive $210 per month.

 Increase from $100 to $250 per month for Certified Access Specialist (CASp) Certification for one (1) employee in the classification of Building Inspector or Senior Building Inspector.
 Certification Pay of $200 per fiscal year for qualifying employees.

If adopted, Resolution No. 2025-065 will provide an updated classification plan and salary schedule for the Teamsters Unit. The classification plan and salary schedule must also be adopted by the City Council in order to comply with Title 2, Section 570.5, of the California Code of Regulations.

15. DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN
A deferred compensation plan, 457(b), is available to all employees, providing tax-deferred savings to serve as a retirement supplement. An employee may contribute to the City's designated deferred compensation plan up to the maximum annual amount allowed by federal and state law through a payroll deduction program.
“Catch-up” Provision
Pursuant to federal and state law, employees attaining the minimum age of 47, who are within three (3) years of their planned retirement date, may take advantage of the 457 Deferred Compensation Plan "Catch-up" provisions and allowances as defined in federal and state law.

To the extent allowed by federal and state law and the City's deferred compensation plan administrator, the City will allow, during the three (3) years prior to an employee's planned retirement date, the conversion of accrued Sick, Vacation, Floating Holiday, Sick Leave Conversion, Compensatory Time hours to cash contribution at the employee's base rate of pay in effect at the time of conversion. Leave conversion contributions for the "457 catch-up" shall normally be distributed over an employee's last three (3) years prior to their planned retirement date. However, based on the total amount of "457 Catch-up" contributions available to the employee, accumulated sick leave hours, and the employee's designated retirement date, "457 catch-up" contributions may occur over a shorter period of time prior to retirement. To be eligible to participate, the employee must be within three (3) years of their planned retirement date, have "457 Catch-up" privileges available to them, and be enrolled in the City-sponsored 457 Deferred Compensation Plan.
“Catch-up” - Sick Leave
Employees are not entitled to 100% cash-out of Sick Leave until completion of five (5) years of service with the City as the final employer and either a qualified service or disability retirement. The City will advance employees 47 years of age or older a cash-out of their accrued Sick Leave up to the indexed amount if they choose to utilize the “Catch Up” provision provided through the City’s 457 plan.

Teamsters PTC Unit July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2027
12 In the event an employee separates for any reason other than service or disability retirement from the City prior to being eligible to receive 100% Sick Leave pay, said employee will be required to reimburse the excess amount of Sick Leave previously paid out. The reimbursement will be deducted by the City from any or all earned funds available to the employee on separation, without it being necessary for the City to seek a civil judgment for the monies.

In order to participate, the employee will select the amount of Sick Leave they want transferred into deferred compensation at the beginning of each of the three (3) years. The amount can be a selected number of hours or a percentage of Sick Leave remaining at the end of the year. The employee’s Sick Leave balance would then decrease commensurately with the amount of funds withdrawn.

The employee will continue to accrue Sick Leave hours at the normal rate while participating in this program.
“Catch-up” hours advanced will be counted for the employee’s Sick Leave bank for the Sick Leave Program calculation.
“Catch-up”– Vacation Leave
In order to participate, the employee will select the amount of Vacation Leave they want transferred into deferred compensation at the beginning of each of the three (3) years. The amount can be a selected number of hours or a percentage of Vacation Leave remaining at the end of the year. The employee’s Vacation Leave balance would then decrease commensurately with the amount of funds withdrawn.

The employee maintaining their Vacation Leave maximum would still be eligible for Vacation Leave incentives, such as Vacation Leave Conversion. The employee will continue to accrue Vacation Leave hours at the normal rate while participating in this program. “Catch-up”– Other Leave Banks
In order to participate, the employee will select the amount of other leave (this may be Floating Holiday, Sick Leave Conversion and/or Compensatory Time) to be transferred into deferred compensation at the beginning of each of the three (3) years. The amount must be a selected number of hours of leave. The employee’s leave balance would then decrease commensurately with the amount of funds withdrawn.
“Age 50+ Catch-up”
In the calendar year an employee reaches age 50 (or older), they may contribute an additional amount over the normal maximum contribution limit (per the IRS limit). The “Age 50 Catchup” and “Pre-Retirement Catch-up” provisions may not both be used in the same calendar year.

Employees may use accrued Sick, Floating Holiday, Sick Leave Conversion, Compensatory and/or accrued Vacation Leave hours to contribute this additional amount.

Contributions to the deferred compensation plan will be discontinued while an employee is receiving Workers’ Compensation payments.

The immediate supervisor’s failure to conduct an informal meeting with the employee within fifteen (15) days of the employee’s request for such meeting or of the immediate supervisor’s failure to provide a verbal response within seven (7) business days after the informal meeting with the employee shall permit the employee to advance the grievance to the next step in this Grievance Procedure, should they so choose.

2. Department Director
If the employee is dissatisfied with the response of their immediate supervisor after completion of the informal Resolution step in this Grievance Procedure or if there is no timely response, then the employee may file a written grievance with their Department Director within seven (7) days from the date of receiving the response from their immediate supervisor or from the expiration of the time for the immediate supervisor to respond.

The Department Director shall render a written response to the grievance to the employee and/or their designated Labor Representative within then (10) business days after receiving the written grievance and/or the meeting the employee, whichever is later. The Department Director’s failure to provide a timely written response will permit the employee to advance the grievance process to the next step in this Grievance Procedure.

3. City Manager
If the employee is dissatisfied with the written response of their Department Director or the Department Director fails to provide at timely written response, then the employee may submit the grievance, along with any written response thereto by the Department Director, to the City manager within ten (10) days from the date of the decision by the Department Director.

38. SAFETY INCENTIVE FOR PUBLIC WORKS INSPECTORS
All Public Works Inspectors (PWI), upon completion of safety training, will be eligible for a safety incentive.

Personal Leave that is not used will be credited to Sick Leave at the end of a fiscal year if said credited hours do not exceed the one thousand eighty (1,080) hours Sick Leave limit.

46. SICK LEAVE PROGRAM
Employees having in excess of nine hundred and sixty (960) hours of accumulated Sick Leave on the last pay period in June will be paid in the final paycheck of the fiscal year, an amount computed at the then existing hourly rate for each hour in excess of nine hundred and sixty (960) hours, up to a maximum of fifty six (56) hours.

Training will be provided, as needed, to assist in the transition of acquiring new duties and responsibilities. If an employee has a specific concern relative to the “Special Assignment” they have been chosen to fill, a discussion will be held that may include the affected employee, their representative, the Director of Human Resources/Risk Management and any other relevant party.

An employee will experience no change in compensation if the “Special Assignment” is deemed to be set at a lower pay grade than the employee is currently earning. If an employee is placed in a position at a higher pay grade than the employee is currently earning, this will be deemed to be “Acting Duty” and will be compensated in accordance with the City’s rules regarding “Acting 899
Memorandum of Understanding
Teamsters PTC Unit July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2027
27 Duty” status. The period over which “Acting Duty” can be continued will not be limited by the timeline set in the Personnel Rules. An employee on “Special Assignment” will not be placed on probationary status. The length of time to be worked in a “Special Assignment” is undetermined; however, an employee, or their representative, may periodically request a status report as to the anticipated continuation of their “Special Assignment” job.

An employee demonstrating a bonafide inability to perform the duties of the “Special Assignment” (i.e., not performing at a satisfactory level or better) will not be subject to termination if said substandard performance is based on a lack of job skill or a disability.

48. STANDBY PAY

Affected employees are required to complete one year of service with the City from the date of completion of course work to be eligible for this benefit. Individuals voluntarily separating from the City prior to completion of one year of service with the City from date of completion of course work will be required to reimburse the City for funds advanced to them under this program. Said reimbursement shall be deducted from any separation check to be distributed to the employee, no matter what the nature of the funds, without the necessity of a judgement being mandated on behalf of the City.

In the event that the educational institution attended does not provide the employee with verification of completion or grades or receipts within this sixty (60) calendar days timeframe, the employee is responsible to notify the Director of Human Resources/Risk Management, in writing, of such and an additional sixty (60) calendar days extension will be granted. In the event that an employee does not provide verification of completion of class(es), grade(s) and receipts for expenses at the end of either the initial sixty (60) calendar days or at the end of the extension of an additional sixty (60) calendar days (to 120 calendar days total), the City will have the right to automatically make a payroll deduction from the employee's next regular payroll check in an amount equal to the amount of tuition funds advanced.

50. TUITION REIMBURSEMENT – ENHANCED PROGRAM
Employees who have incurred otherwise reimbursable tuition cost in an amount greater than the maximum amount available shall be eligible to receive additional reimbursement to the extent that tuition reimbursement funds are available at the end of each fiscal year.

Six (6) months prior to date of conversion, half the number of accrued leave hours requested, excluding Sick Leave, must have been taken as time off. Note: usage requirement waived for “activated” military personnel.

56. WORK BOOTS AND WORK SHOES
Eligible employees (Public Works Inspectors, Building Inspectors, Environmental Compliance Technicians, Code Compliance Inspectors, and Storekeepers) will receive a three hundred dollar ($300) allowance in their first paycheck in January. These funds will be used by the employee for the purchase of safety-rated work boots or work shoes. This compensation is not reportable to PERS as special compensation.

57. WORKERS’ COMPENSATION PROGRAM

Commencing the fourth day of the injury, the City will continue the employee’s salary at a rate of 66-2/3% of the current monthly salary, less any applicable deductions (i.e., credit union, health insurance coverage), for a period not to exceed twelve (12) months.

Memorandum of Understanding
Teamsters PTC Unit July 1, 2025 - June 30, 2027

 That the injured employee and the City have employed the guidance of the State Department of Industrial Relations Office of Information and Assistance to resolve any outstanding issues or misunderstandings.

Representation is a legal right recognized by statutory law. Nothing precludes an employee from retaining legal counsel or representation; however, the premium benefit offered is only available in cases handled without the involvement of legal counsel. This is done in recognition of the cost savings that result in non-litigated cases that can be passed on to the ill or injured worker.

59. SAVINGS CLAUSE
