DISCUSSION
City Council approved a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the City and the FPOA-PSU in July 2022. The approved MOA included replacement of the Master Police Officer (MPO) program by a Lines of Promotion program. This change requires revisions to the classification specifications of Police Officer, Police Corporal and Police Sergeant by creating a series (I / II / III) within each classification to coincide with the requirements of the Lines of Promotion program as stipulated by the MOA Article 15(C) .
This change is cost neutral. The City and the FPOA-PSU have agreed to an amendment to the current MOA to ensure implementation of the Lines of Promotion remains cost neutral by establishing increment pays based on level I within the respective classification series. Level I for each series equals the current base pay of the current classifications of Police Officer, Police Corporal and Police Sergeant.
The following table shows the proposed salary range assignments for the revised positions:
