PRIORITY POLICY STATEMENT
This item matches the following Priority Policy Statement:
Fiscal and Organizational Stability.
FISCAL IMPACT
The anticipated fully burdened annual cost for the proposed revision totals $42,000 per year. Staff anticipates a $19,400 impact for Fiscal Year 2022-23 and does not request a budget adjustment as staff projects these expenditures to remain within the approved department budgets.
DISCUSSION
City Council approved the Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) between the City and the FMA on March 15, 2022. The current MOA expires on June 30, 2023. The City and the FMA have begun negotiations for a successor MOA. However, City staff and FMA representatives request a Side Letter to address Emergency Duty Pay.
The FMA MOA recognizes that all classifications represented by the FMA bargaining unit are exempt from the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) overtime provisions. Notwithstanding this exempt status, the FMA MOA provides for Emergency Duty Pay (straight time overtime) to specified classifications when required to work during emergency situations.
City staff and FMA representatives recognize that current staffing shortages have created circumstances where it would be appropriate to expand the availability of Emergency Duty Pay to additional classifications. City staff and FMA representatives also recognized the need to more clearly define the nature of “emergencies” that would qualify for Emergency Duty Pay.
The attached Draft Side Letter incorporates the modifications agreed to by City staff and FMA representatives and staff presents for City Council consideration.
