Item #20.D.
Date: August 28, 2024
To: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council
From: Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Issue: Approve Resolution and Memorandum of Agreement Between the Cities of Irwindale and Covina to Allow the Sharing of Dispatcher Services
City Manager's Recommendation:
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution 2024-75-3552, authorizing the City Manager to enter into a reciprocal agreement between the Cities of Irwindale and Covina for the sharing of Police Dispatcher personnel, subject to final approval as to form by the City Attorney's Office
Administrative Action:
Submitted / Prepared by:
Chris Hofford, Chief of Police
Reviewed by:
Adrian R. Guerra, City Attorney
Kambiz Borhani, Finance Director / City Treasurer
Approved by:
Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Background and Analysis:
Providing around-the-clock emergency dispatching services to the community is essential and requires
highly trained personnel to do the job. ln instances where staffing levels fall short due to vacations, sick callouts and training, it is imperative that personnel with the proper dispatching experience be placed in the dispatch positions to provide quality service to the community and emergency personnel. ln an effort to have a system in place where dispatch personnel can be shared between agencies, the Police Chiefs of Irwindale and Covina have discussed, and recommend, the creation of a formal agreement between the cities whereby each police department may share personnel with the other by means of a reciprocal MOA.
Personnel from Irwindale and Covina share the same records management and computer aided dispatch system, enabling dispatchers from both departments to work at either location. Allowing dispatchers from either police department to work at the other, on an asneeded basis, will ease the burden of dispatchers having to work mandatory overtime, reduce stress levels, and help improve morale.
Staff recommends that the City Council approve Resolution No. 2024-75-3552, authorizing the City Manager to enter into a reciprocal agreement between the Cities of Irwindale and Covina for emergency dispatch personnel.
Fiscal Impact:
The current salary schedule lists the Police Dispatcher/Clerk position’s hourly rate for Step E at $34.95, and the newly negotiated labor contract increases that amount to $36.69 - $39.50 (for the three (3) year term of the new contract.) The overtime rate for that same period will range from $55.04 - $59.25.
The Fiscal Year 2024-2025 Adopted Budget includes funding for three (3) full-time (2080 hours) vacant Police Dispatcher/Clerk positions.
This agreement allows each city to be reimbursed at a rate of $58.50 per hour for a maximum amount not-to-exceed $30,000, which in essence means a maximum of 512 hours, from the date of execution till January 1, 2026. Sufficient funding is available in the current budget to cover this amount for when the service is requested.

Background and Analysis:
On January 26, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2022-10-3260 entitled, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Irwindale Appointing City Manager and Approving City Manager Employment Agreement.”
Julian Miranda was appointed the City Manager for the term of February 14, 2022 to February 13, 2025. In accordance with the City Manager Employment Agreement (“Employment Agreement”)
sections 2.2 and 5.4, the City Council and City Manager agreed to conduct an annual salary review concurrently with an annual performance evaluation to occur within thirty days after each anniversary of the City Manager’s appointment.
For the salary review occurring after the first full year of employment, in the event that the City Manager had achieved the goals established for him by the City Council as determined by the City Council in its discretion, the Employment Agreement provided that he would be provided a five percent (5%) base salary increase.
On March 8, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2023-22-3400, "A Resolution of the City Council of the City of Irwindale, California, Approving A Salary Increase for the City Manager." The City Council and City Manager recently conducted a performance review, pursuant to the terms of the Agreement and have jointly agreed to forego a base salary increase for the second full year of employment, as set forth in section 2.2.
Pursuant to section 2.3 of the Agreement, the City Manager is entitled to cost of living adjustments ("COLA") to his salary consistent with the benefits received by the Unclassified Management Employees. Resolution No. 2024-61-3538 adopting Unclassified Management Employees Salary and Benefits is proposed as a separate item for the Council's consideration. The proposed Amendment No. 1 to the City Manager Agreement includes adjustments to the City Manager's salary and benefits as follows:
(i) 5% of Cost of Living Adjustment effective September 1, 2024; (ii) 10 hours of additional administrative leave;
(iii) a dollar for dollar match of up to $100 per month of Employee’s contribution towards the City Authorized Deferred Compensation Plan;
(iv) effective January 1, 2025, an increase in vacation leave cap of 350 hours; (v) up to 5 working days of bereavement leave (no more than 40 hours of which would be paid); and (vi) the ability to use up to 40 hours of sick leave as personal leave per calendar year California Government Code section 54953(c)(3) requires that prior to taking final action on the salaries, salary schedules, or compensation paid in the form of fringe benefits to a local agency executive, the legislative body shall orally report a summary of a recommendation for a final action during the open meeting in which the final action is to be taken. Accordingly, the terms of the City Manager’s contract Amendment will be orally summarized at the August 28, 2024 Council meeting Fiscal Impact:
The total cost of salary and fringe benefit adjustments to the proposed Employment Agreement is $40,240 (General Fund: $22,828, MIF: $17,412). A budget appropriation for FY 2024-25 is not required as amounts were projected in the current fiscal year's budget.

Background and Analysis:
The Irwindale Management Employees Association (“IMEA”) Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with the City of Irwindale (“City”) expired on June 30, 2024. Pursuant to the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act ("MMBA"), representatives from the City and IMEA commenced negotiations for a successor MOU in March 2024.
The City Council established several important policy objectives for the negotiation team, such as maintaining the ability to attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel, managing increasing pension costs, and reducing long-term expenditures for the City. Through good faith negotiations, the parties have reached a Tentative Agreement for a Successor MOU extending from July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2027.
The proposed MOU provides that IMEA members will contribute additional amounts towards the City’s required employer contribution to CalPERS and PARS pension costs. The cost-sharing contributions will be phased in annually throughout the contract. In turn, the proposed contract establishes cost of living adjustments in each year of the contract. The cost of living adjustments and employee cost-sharing contributions are shown below:
• Year One: 5% cost of living adjustment in exchange for a 2.1% increase in employee contribution towards the PARS retirement enhancement benefit for those miscellaneous employees hired prior to January 1, 2011.
o 5% cost of living adjustment is retroactive to August 4, 2024, which is the first full pay period following signing of the Tentative Agreement.
• Year Two: 4% cost of living adjustment in exchange for the following increase in employee CalPERS contribution:
o 1% for Miscellaneous Classic Members
o .5% for Miscellaneous PEPRA Members
o 1.5% for Sworn Classic Members
o 1% for Sworn PEPRA members
• Year Three: 3.5% cost of living adjustment to salary in exchange for the following increase in employee CalPERS contribution:
o 1% for Miscellaneous Classic Members
o .5% for Miscellaneous PEPRA Members
o 1.5% for Sworn Classic Members
o 1% for Sworn PEPRA members
In addition to the cost of living adjustments and employee cost-sharing contributions to CalPERS and PARS, other key components include:
• Deferred compensation match of up to $100 per month
• Increase in reimbursement for safety shoes/boots for certain classifications • Use of 40 hours of sick leave for personal leave
• Reduce call-in pay from 4 hours to 3 hours for non-exempt employees • Cap on vacation leave accrual at 350 hours
• Elimination of sick leave cash out for new employees
• Increase Administrative Leave to 40 hours per calendar year – must be used in the year credited and will not be paid out or carried forward
The proposed MOU also includes non-substantive revisions to comply with updated laws and clean-up language to accurately reflect current practices and procedures.
On July 31, 2024, the IMEA membership voted to accept the proposed terms and conditions of their successor MOU.
Fiscal Impact:
The total cost of implementing the MOU with the IMEA is projected at $589,341 over the three-year term. This amount includes all additional compensation and benefits as well as cost savings associated with employee pension cost sharing.
The projected cost of implementation is as follows:
Implementation Period General Fund Cost Other Funds Cost Total Cost Year One (July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025) $162,968 $83,953 $246,921 Year Two (July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026) $119,275 $61,445 $180,720 Year Three (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027) $106,722 $54,978 $161,700 A budget appropriation for FY 2024-25 is not required as amounts were projected in the current fiscal year budget. Funding for FY 2025-26 and 2026-27 will be incorporated into the City’s future budgets.

SICK LEAVE ACCRUAL
Unit members shall accrue sick leave at the rate of 3.693 hours bi-weekly. All full-time regular and probationary Unit members are eligible to use sick leave beginning on the ninetieth (90th) day of employment.

Use of sick leave shall be in accordance with City Personnel Rules Section 14.20, except as otherwise stated in Section 06.09 - Personal Leave.
PERSONAL LEAVE
Effective September 1, 2024, upon request and with department director pre-approval, Unit members may use up to forty (40) hours of sick leave as “Personal Leave” per calendar year.

IMEA Memorandum of Understanding 07/01/2024 – 06/30/2027 The parties hereto modify/clarify the City’s Personnel Rules Section 14.15.4 such that cash out of both vacation and sick leave shall be paid at the Unit member's "basic rate of pay" as opposed to "regular rate of pay."
The cash out limit of one hundred (100) hours per calendar year shall not apply to any cash out of vacation or sick leave upon separation of employment or retirement from the City.
HOLIDAY DATES
All Unit members shall have the following designated holidays. It should be understood that other employee groups may follow a different holiday schedule depending on days and hours worked.
These provisions shall supersede any of the City Personnel Rules governing the matters addressed in this Section.
1 New Year's Day January 1
2 Martin Luther King Jr. Day Third Monday in January
3 President’s Day Third Monday in February
4 Cesar Chavez Day March 31
5 Memorial Day Last Monday in May
6 Independence Day July 4
7 Labor Day First Monday in September
8 Veterans Day November 11
9 Thanksgiving Day Fourth Thursday in November
10 Day After Thanksgiving Day Fourth Friday in November 11 Christmas Eve (1/2 Day) December 24
12 Christmas December 25
13 New Year's Eve (1/2 Day) December 31
If any of the foregoing holidays fall on a Friday or a Saturday, the holiday will not be observed on the preceding Wednesday or Thursday. For any holiday that falls on a Sunday, it will be at the City Manager's or designee’s discretion as to whether it will be observed on the following Monday.
FLOATING HOLIDAY
Unit members shall have a total bank of one hundred forty (140) hours per calendar year available to them for holidays. When any of the above-listed holiday falls on a regular workday or in the case of a Sunday holiday which is celebrated on the following Monday as determined by the City Manager or designee, eight (8) to ten (10) hours, depending on Unit member’s regular work hours, will be deducted from the holiday bank of hours for each such holiday, and the holiday will be celebrated in the normal manner. At the beginning of each calendar year, the City will determine and distribute its holiday schedule. Based thereon, the total number of holidays will be deducted from the holiday bank of hours. Each Unit member will then be credited with the balance of the remaining one hundred forty (140) holiday bank hours, which may be used as floating holiday hours in a manner similar to that of vacation leave hours. All floating holiday hours must be used in the calendar year in which they were credited to the Unit member. Any floating holiday hours not used by the end of the calendar year will be cashed out and included in the first paycheck in January of the following year.
IMEA Memorandum of Understanding 07/01/2024 – 06/30/2027
ADMINISTRATIVE LEAVE
Effective September 1, 2024, Unit members considered exempt under the federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) shall each be credited administrative leave of forty (40) hours each calendar year. All administrative leave hours must be used in the calendar year in which they were credited to the Unit member. Administrative leave has no cash value and shall not be paid out or carried forward; and therefore, agreement to this section constitutes a waiver of Labor Code Section 227.3.
The policy set by the 2008 Partial Day Absences for Exempt Employees Memo (no leave deduction for absences lasting less than four hours in a single workday) is eliminated and, instead, Unit members will have hour-for-hour deductions to leave banks. In partial recognition of prolonged, uncommon, or exceptional hours of work beyond the standard work expectations for exempt Unit members, department directors may, at their sole discretion, adjust employees’ work hours and allow exempt Unit members to take time off without using accrued leave.
HIGHER CLASSIFICATION PAY
Any Unit member requested to work in a higher classification job for more than one (1) consecutive week shall be paid, upon the second consecutive week working in the higher classification job, a five percent (5%) base salary increase or step one of the higher classification range, whichever is greater. The higher classification pay shall be applied to the entire compensable period the employee worked at the higher classification job and shall be paid retroactive back to the first day of such higher classification work. An employee will be considered to have engaged in performing services in a higher classification job where it is determined that fifty percent (50%) or more of the employee’s daily work has been undertaken in the performance of duties that are within the job classification of the higher position and which are not in the job classification of the employee’s current classification.
ARTICLE 07
HOURS AND WORK SCHEDULES
NORMAL WORKWEEK

During this period of time, payment of base salaries shall be suspended. However, the employee shall continue to accrue benefits such as leave time, and City-funded benefits including but not limited to funding of insurance, shall continue in effect. During said period of time, individual employees may elect to compensate themselves by means of use of earned and accrued compensatory time off, earned and accrued administrative leave, earned and accrued vacation, or earned and accrued floating holiday time. The City Manager or designee may authorize, on a case-by-case basis, an impacted employee to work during the end-of-year closure to meet critical work deadlines or demands.
IMEA Memorandum of Understanding 07/01/2024 – 06/30/2027 ALTERNATIVE 4/10 WORK SCHEDULE

Employees shall be allowed to combine the two fifteen (15) minute paid rest periods with the thirty (30) minute unpaid lunch, for a one (1) hour lunch period. Rest periods are not cumulative beyond the scheduled workday within which the rest periods occur. Lunch periods shall also not be used to shorten the work day.
BEREAVEMENT LEAVE
Consistent with the City’s Bereavement Leave Policy, Unit members shall be entitled to bereavement leave of up to five (5) working days (no more than forty (40) hours of which would be paid) per incident. If the unit member requires more than forty (40) hours for bereavement, they may use vacation leave, sick leave, or compensatory time off that is otherwise available to the unit member with prior approval, where appropriate.
OVERTIME
For purposes of calculating Unit member entitlement to overtime pay and/or compensatory time pursuant to the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (“FLSA”) for non-exempt Unit members, the work week shall consist of forty (40) work hours worked per week according to the 4/40, 9/80, or 5/40 work week schedule set forth above. Any non-exempt Unit member covered by this MOU who works in excess of forty (40) hours in any work week shall be entitled to overtime pay and/or compensatory time, according to the method then in effect to compensate Unit members for overtime worked. Floating Holiday hours, sick leave hours, vacation, or compensatory time used, will not be included as time worked for purposes of calculating FLSA overtime. Legal holidays, for which City Offices are closed, will not be recognized as time worked for purposes of calculating overtime. Unit members who work on designated City holidays shall be paid at time and a half.
However, if the Unit member calls in sick the day before or the day after a legal holiday, that Unit member will only receive overtime based on actual hours worked.
All overtime worked in less than one (1) hour increments in a work shift shall be compensated in the following manner:
Time Worked Overtime Compensation
0-15 minutes .25 hour x 1.5
IMEA Memorandum of Understanding 07/01/2024 – 06/30/2027
COMPENSATORY LEAVE
City Personnel Rules Section 14.30 provides for compensatory leave. Eligible non-exempt Unit members may accrue a maximum of eighty (80) hours of compensatory leave.
JURY DUTY
Any Unit member summoned for jury duty shall be entitled to the Unit member's regular rate of pay for up to ten (10) work days, provided the Unit member deposits any fees for service, excluding mileage, with the City. If a Unit member on an alternative work schedule is summoned for jury duty, the department director or designee shall convert the Unit member’s usual work shift to a regular five (5) day Monday through Friday shift basis.
WITNESS LEAVE
The City Personnel Rules Section 7.05 JURY DUTY AND WITNESS LEAVE provides for witness leave as follows:
"Any employee required to be absent from work by proper subpoena issued by a court or other legally empowered agency, shall be entitled to be absent from work at the employee's regular rate of pay, provided that any fees, except mileage, are deposited with the City."
INJURY ON DUTY
Any Unit member considered non-exempt under the Federal Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) assigned to light-duty status, will generally be assigned to work their normal assigned workdays and hours. Any exceptions to this schedule may be made with appropriate advanced notice to the Unit member with approval of the department director or City Manager. Unit members on light-duty status are not authorized to work overtime or accrue compensatory time. Unit members will be paid for doctor appointments and/or treatment that occurs during light duty work hours, but not for appointments and/or treatment that occurs during their scheduled time off.
CALL IN/CALL BACK PAY

Issue: Consideration of Resolution Accepting a Tentative Agreement for Successor Memorandum of Understanding with the Irwindale City Employees Association (“ICEA”) City Manager's Recommendation:
Adopt Resolution No. 2024-71-3548 entitled “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
IRWINDALE ACCEPTING A TENTATIVE AGREEMENT FOR A SUCCESSOR MEMORANDUM OF
UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE CITY OF IRWINDALE AND THE IRWINDALE CITY EMPLOYEES ASSOCIATION (“ICEA”), FOR THE PERIOD OF JULY 1, 2024 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2027.” Administrative Action:
Submitted by:
Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Prepared by:
Mary Hull, HR/Risk Manager

Adrian R. Guerra, City Attorney

Approved by:
Julian A. Miranda, City Manager
Background and Analysis:
The Irwindale City Employees Association (“ICEA”) Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with the City of Irwindale (“City”) expired on June 30, 2024. Pursuant to the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA), representatives from the City and ICEA commenced negotiations for a successor MOU in March 2024.
Based on the progress made to date, the City has reached a tentative agreement with the ICEA for a three-year term, from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2027 (“Tentative Agreement"). On August 20, 2024, the ICEA membership voted to accept the proposed terms and conditions as stated in the Tentative Agreement, but it remains subject to formal acceptance, approval, and adoption by the City Council, per Government Code Section 3505.1, which provides:
“If a tentative agreement is reached by the authorized representatives of the public agency and a recognized employee organization or recognized employee organizations, the governing body shall vote to accept or reject the tentative agreement within 30 days of the date it is first considered at a duly noticed public meeting. A decision by the governing body to reject the tentative agreement shall not bar the filing of a charge of unfair practice for failure to meet and confer in good faith. If the governing body adopts the tentative agreement, the parties shall jointly prepare a written memorandum of understanding.”
This Tentative Agreement is the product of MMBA-mandated meet and confer sessions that took place over the last several months between the City’s negotiation team and the ICEA board members representing their unit. During the course of negotiations, management representatives met with the City Council to discuss the status and progress of these talks and received direction on specific items under consideration. The proposed agreement supports the City’s goals of maintaining the ability to attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel, managing increasing pension costs, and reducing long-term expenditures.
The Tentative Agreement provides that ICEA members will contribute additional amounts towards the City’s required employer contribution to CalPERS and PARS pension costs. The cost-sharing contributions will be phased in annually throughout the contract. In turn, the proposed contract establishes cost of living adjustments in each year of the contract. The cost of living adjustments and employee cost-sharing contributions are shown below:
• Year One: 5% cost of living adjustment to salary in exchange for a 2.1% increase in employee contribution towards the PARS retirement enhancement benefit for those miscellaneous employees hired prior to January 1, 2011.
o 5% cost of living adjustment effective September 1, 2024, which is the first full pay period following the signing of the Tentative Agreement.
• Year Two: 4% cost of living adjustment to salary in exchange for the following increase in employee CalPERS contribution:
o 1% for Miscellaneous Classic Members
o .5% for Miscellaneous PEPRA Members
• Year Three: 3.5% cost of living adjustment to salary in exchange for the following increase in employee CalPERS contribution:
o 1% for Miscellaneous Classic Members

Adopt Resolution No. 2024-74-3551 entitled “A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
IRWINDALE ACCEPTING A TENTATIVE AGREEMENT FOR A SUCCESSOR MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE CITY OF IRWINDALE AND THE IRWINDALE POLICE OFFICERS’ ASSOCIATION (“IPOA”), FOR THE PERIOD OF JULY 1, 2024 THROUGH JUNE 30, 2027.” Administrative Action:

Background and Analysis:
The Irwindale Police Officers’ Association (“IPOA”) Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with the City of Irwindale (“City”) expired on June 30, 2024. Pursuant to the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA), representatives from the City and ICEA commenced negotiations for a successor MOU in March 2024.
Based on the progress made to date, the City has reached a tentative agreement with the IPOA for a three-year term, from July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2027 (“Tentative Agreement"). On August 20, 2024, the ICEA membership voted to accept the proposed terms and conditions as stated in the Tentative Agreement, but it remains subject to formal acceptance, approval, and adoption by the City Council, per Government Code Section 3505.1, which provides:
“If a tentative agreement is reached by the authorized representatives of the public agency and a recognized employee organization or recognized employee organizations, the governing body shall vote to accept or reject the tentative agreement within 30 days of the date it is first considered at a duly noticed public meeting. A decision by the governing body to reject the tentative agreement shall not bar the filing of a charge of unfair practice for failure to meet and confer in good faith. If the governing body adopts the tentative agreement, the parties shall jointly prepare a written memorandum of understanding.”
This Tentative Agreement is the product of MMBA-mandated meet and confer sessions that took place over the last several months between the City’s negotiation team and the ICEA board members representing their unit. During the course of negotiations, management representatives met with the City Council to discuss the status and progress of these talks and received direction on specific items under consideration. The proposed agreement supports the City’s goals of maintaining the ability to attract and retain skilled and experienced personnel, managing increasing pension costs, and reducing long-term expenditures.
The Tentative Agreement provides that IPOA members will contribute additional amounts towards the City’s required employer contribution to CalPERS and PARS pension costs. The cost-sharing contributions will be phased in annually throughout the contract. In turn, the proposed contract establishes cost of living adjustments in each year of the contract. The cost of living adjustments and employee cost-sharing contributions are shown below:
• Year One: 5% cost of living adjustment to salary in exchange for a 2.1% increase in employee contribution towards the PARS retirement enhancement benefit for those miscellaneous employees hired prior to January 1, 2011.
o 5% cost of living adjustment effective September 1, 2024, which is the first full pay period following the signing of the Tentative Agreement.
• Year Two: 4% cost of living adjustment to salary in exchange for the following increase in employee CalPERS contribution:
o 1% for Miscellaneous Classic Members
o .5% for Miscellaneous PEPRA Members
o 1.5% for Sworn Classic Members
o 1% for Sworn PEPRA members
• Year Three: 3.5% cost of living adjustment to salary in exchange for the following increase in employee CalPERS contribution:
o 1% for Miscellaneous Classic Members
o .5% for Miscellaneous PEPRA Members
o 1.5% for Sworn Classic Members
o 1% for Sworn PEPRA members
In addition to the cost of living adjustments and employee cost-sharing contributions to CalPERS and PARS, other key components include:
• Cap on vacation leave accrual at 350 hours
• Elimination of sick leave cash out for new employees
• Increase maximum accrual of compensation leave to 140 hours • Reduce call back or call in pay to 3 hours
• Include traffic officer in MSL under certain circumstances Fiscal Impact:
The total cost of implementing the proposed Tentative Agreement with the IPOA is projected at $681,433 over the three-year term. This amount includes all additional compensation and benefits as well as cost savings associated with employee pension cost sharing.
The projected cost of implementation is as follows:
Implementation Period General Fund Cost
Year One (July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025) $307,289
Year Two (July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026) $198,932
Year Three (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027) $175,212
