This Side Letter of Agreement ("Agreement") is made and entered into this 22nd day of July 2025, by and between the City of Newport Beach ("City") and the Newport Beach Firefighters Association ("Association") (collectively "Parties") with respect to the following:
WHEREAS, on May 13, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 2025-20 approving a Memorandum of Understanding ("Current MOU") between the Parties with a term of May 3, 2025, through June 30, 2028;
WHEREAS, the Current MOU covers 56-hour Line employees, all of whom are Safety employees, and 40-hour Staff employees, some of whom are Safety employees and some of whom are Non-Safety employees;
WHEREAS, the Current MOU and preceding MOU provide different Holiday benefits for Line employees and Staff employees;
WHEREAS, during negotiations over the Current MOU, the parties agreed to adjust the Holiday benefit for Line employees and maintain status quo for Staff employees;
WHEREAS, the Current MOU and preceding MOU do not recognize a distinction between Safety Staff and Non-Safety Staff employees with respect to the Holiday benefit;
WHEREAS, Safety Staff employees may be reassigned to Line positions, and Line employees may be reassigned to Safety Staff positions; WHEREAS, upon reassignment, the employee's Holiday benefit is automatically converted to the benefit provided for the newly assigned position (Line or Staff);
WHEREAS, by adjusting the Holiday benefit for Line employees only, the Current MOU changed the Holiday benefit conversion ratio from the ratio provided under the preceding MOU;
WHEREAS, the parties now wish to amend the Current MOU to reinstate the Holiday benefit conversion ratio provided under the preceding MOU by distinguishing between Safety Staff and Non-Safety Staff employees and adjusting the Holiday benefit for Safety Staff employees; and
WHEREAS, this Agreement will not have the effect of an agreement, and will not be binding on either Party, until it is approved by the City Council; NOW, THEREFORE, it is mutually agreed between the Parties to amend MOU
