LETTER OF AGREEMENT
WHEREAS, on April 20, 2020, the City Council of Huntington Beach adopted Resolution No. 2020-20 approving a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Huntington Beach Management Employees' Organization (MEO) specifying that a citywide Classification and Compensation Study would commence during the term of the agreement ending October 31, 2020; and the City Council subsequently adopted Resolution No. 2021-26 extending the term of the MOU through December 31, 2021; and,
WHEREAS, on March 15, 2021, the City Council of Huntington Beach approved an agreement with Public Sector Personnel Consultants, Inc., to conduct a citywide Classification and Compensation Study to review, simplify, and modernize the City's classification plan, and to conduct a comparison of salary and benefits within the City's employment market, which was defined as the cities of Anaheim, Santa Ana, Irvine, Garden Grove, Orange, Fullerton, Costa Mesa, and Newport Beach; and,
WHEREAS, on December 21, 2021, the City Council of Huntington Beach adopted Resolution No. 2021-71 for approving the MOU between the City and MEO through the term ending December 31, 2024, which stated that the parties agreed to meet and confer regarding the Classification and Compensation Study, and which transitioned all classifications to a new master salary schedule with pay ranges that are one percent (1%) apart and consist of seven (7) steps that are five percent (5%) apart that provides additional flexibility in assigning pay ranges and creates greater alignment across associations; and,
WHEREAS, the City's Human Resources Division, with assistance from Public Sector Personnel Consultants, has met and conferred with the impacted associations and individual employees through the Request for Reconsideration process; and the proposed Classification and Compensation Study implementation plan improves internal alignment, more clearly defines career ladders, and brings classifications whose pay range maximums were behind the market average of similar positions in the City's employment market as close to market average as feasible within the authorized budget and constraints of the City's existing classification and compensation plan; and,
Subsequent to the adoption of the MOU, the City of Huntington Beach and MEO has met and conferred and agreed to changes, corrections, and clarifications to the MOU that are reflected in a Side Letter of Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein by this reference.
RESOLUTION NO. 2022-71

The parties agree that this side letter agreement will take effect on the pay period beginning February 4, 2023.

Each employee will be placed on the step (A-G) of their classification's assigned salary range that is nearest to their current base salary step without being less. If the preceding methodology would result in an employee moving more than one step below their current step (e.g., Step F to Step D), then the employee will instead be placed one step below their current step (e.g., Step F to Step E).

The parties agree that the implementation of this side letter will not change the anniversary date of employees that are being reclassified or retitled. Employees will receive their merit-based step advancement on their current anniversary date, in accordance with the Personnel Rules.
The parties agree that no incumbent employee shall be required to serve a probationary period as a result of being reclassified, retitled, or placed under new supervision or a new reporting relationship as a result of this implementation.
The parties agree that if a classification that has been merged or modified is listed elsewhere in the MOU, those sections will continue to remain in full effect.
The parties agree that all of the intended additions or deletions of MEO positions are encompassed in this side letter agreement.
