A RESOLUTION OF THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF THE ESTERO MUNICIPAL
IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT APPROVING THE FOSTER CITY POLICE OFFICER
ASSOCIATION (FCPOA) LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING AND MANAGEMENT COMPENSATION AND BENEFITS PLAN EFFECTIVE JANUARY 1, 2026
ESTERO MUNICIPAL IMPROVEMENT DISTRICT
WHEREAS, the Board of Directors has a goal of consistent holidays for all City employees, and
WHEREAS, in April 2025 the American Federation of State, County and Municipal employees (AFSCME) negotiated Juneteenth (June 19) as an annual holiday and the Management Compensation and Benefits Plan was also updated to observe Juneteenth as an annual holiday; and
WHEREAS, a Letter of Understanding (LOU) with the Foster City Police Officer Association (FCPOA) agrees that employees represented by the FCPOA will also observe Juneteenth annually starting with June 19, 2025; and WHEREAS, employees in the FCPOA either receive holiday premium pay for working on a holiday or holiday-in-lieu pay and those eligible for holiday premium pay for working June 19, 2025 will receive retroactive compensation for working on that date; and WHEREAS, adding the Juneteenth holiday revised the holiday-in-lieu pay to equate to 5.85% of pay; and
WHEREAS, instead of calculating a retroactive amount of holiday-in-lieu pay for Police Officers an agreement has been reached to pay each officer $100 a month if they were working as of August 1, 2025, and still currently working with Foster City, to compensate for the Juneteenth holiday in calendar year 2025; and WHEREAS, starting with January 1, 2026, Police Officer pay will include holiday- in-lieu pay equating to 5.85%; and
WHEREAS, in May 2025 the Management Compensation and Benefits Plan was revised to provide Police Captains and Lieutenants with holiday-in-lieu pay at a rate of
5.78% which should have been 5.85%; and
WHEREAS, the Management Compensation and Benefits Plan will be revised effective May 1, 2025 to provide 5.85% holiday-in-lieu pay which includes the Juneteenth holiday; and
WHEREAS, the fiscal impact of these changes is estimated at $36,000 which can be absorbed in the current FY 2025-2026 budget due to unspent salaries in the Police 4 1
7 5
Department and future costs will be reflected in the budgets of their respective fiscal years.
