WHEREAS, the City of Hayward must realize cost saving measures for the upcoming fiscal year 2026-27; and
WHEREAS, the City has met and conferred in good faith with representatives of the Hayward Association of Management Employees (HAME); and
WHEREAS, HAME has agreed to deferring the cost of living adjustment (COLA) increase, for all HAME represented classifications not entirely funded by enterprise funds, to the pay period including June 30, 2027; and the Parties agree to layoff protections in which the City will not exercise its right to layoff employees in the bargaining unit from April 3, 2026, through and including June 30, 2027 ; and the Parties agree to concession parity, should another represented non- safety unit agree to concession terms that 1) also include layoff projections and 2) result in less savings for the City as a percentage of that other bargaining unit’s total base wages, HAME may elect to accept the terms of that agreement.
