FROM: Nickole Domini, Human Resources Director
Prepared By: Jeff Andrews, Senior Human Resources Analyst SUBJECT: SUCCESSOR MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING FOR THE SAN LUIS OBISPO POLICE OFFICERS’ ASSOCIATION

RECOMMENDATION

1. Adopt a Draft Resolution entitled, “A Resolution of the City Council of the City of San Luis Obispo, California, adopting and ratifying the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of San Luis Obispo and the San Luis Obispo Police Officers’ Association for The Period of July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2027”; and

2. Adopt Regular and Supplemental Employee Salary Schedules effective July 4, 2024, as required by California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS)

POLICY CONTEXT
The key components of this successor Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) are in alignment with Council adopted Compensation Philosophy and Labor Relations Objectives.

DISCUSSION
Background
The City has six bargaining groups consisting of four represented groups and two unrepresented groups. While all other bargaining groups have current MOUs or resolutions, the San Luis Obispo Police Officers’ Association’s (POA) MOU expired on June 30, 2024. Under California law, when an MOU or labor contract expires, the terms and conditions of the MOU continue without change or remain status quo until a successor MOU is negotiated.

The current compensation and benefits for this group of employees spans a three-year term that started July 1, 2021. The POA represents 71 employees in the Police Department including sworn Police Officers and non-sworn Public Safety Dispatchers, Property and Evidence classifications, Records Clerks, and Police Community Service Officers. In advance of the expiring MOU, negotiations occurred with the represented group. The City’s strong policy foundation of financial sustainability, including Council adopted Labor Relations Objectives and the Compensation Philosophy, guide and frame the negotiations process.

Item 6d
The parties began negotiations on February 28, 2024, and held three (3) additional negotiating sessions through April 19, 2024. In these sessions, the POA provided proposals and presented the City team with their group’s priorities and interests, and the City provided proposals as well as a comprehensive overview of proposed edits to the current POA MOU in an effort to clean up and clarify language, memorialize side letters, and address non-economic operational changes.

Over the course of four (4) formal negotiation sessions, the POA and the City engaged in a collaborative process resulting in a tentative agreement that aligns with the City’s Compensation Philosophy and financial objectives. This agreement aims to ensure competitive compensation for employees in an effort to attract and retain highly qualified employees. By maintaining parity with the relevant labor market, the tentative agreement strives to create a fair and balanced compensation structure that fosters employee satisfaction and retention.

Key Components of the Successor POA MOU
The following is a summary of the key changes included in the successor POA Agreement:

1. Term of Agreement: A three-year agreement (July 1, 2024, to June 30, 2027).

2. Market Equity Adjustments: Increase the salary for specific POA classifications based on the market compensation study effective the first full pay period of the timeframe below:

3. Cost of Living Adjustments: Provide three percent (3%) cost-of-living adjustments to all classifications effective the first full pay period of July 2024, July 2025, and July 2026 so that after an agreement is reached, compensation scales maintain their competitive position with the labor market.

4. Retirement Cost-Sharing: POA members will continue making their current contributions towards the employers' portion of the retirement contribution, as part of the City's Fiscal Health Response Plan.

5. Overtime: Eliminate the dual calculation of overtime as soon as administratively possible following Council adoption and agree to include cash in lieu into the MOU overtime rate in compliance with the Flores v. City of San Gabriel decision.

6. Training Officer Incentive: Provide $50 per day for Police Community Service Officers and $100 per day for Police Officers assigned as Training Officers.

Provide $200 per pay period for Public Safety Dispatchers assigned as Training Officers.

7. Health Insurance: (1) Continue the City’s existing health insurance cost-share formula in 2025, 2026, and 2027; (2) The City will begin paying the CalPERS Medical Administrative Fee; and (3) Increase the City’s monthly health insurance contribution to the following amounts effective July 2024:

8. Call Back: Increase the Call Back minimum payment from three hours to four hours pay.

9. Uniform Allowance: Increase the annual uniform allowance from $1,000 to $1,300 for Police Cadets and Police Officers. Increase the annual uniform allowance from $500 to $650 for all other classifications.

10.Standby: For Investigators and Bomb Technicians, increase the standby compensation from $45 to $50 per regularly scheduled workday and from $65 to $70 per regularly scheduled day off and holidays.

11.Night Shift Differential: Provide $200 per pay period for Police Officers and Public Safety Dispatchers routinely and consistently assigned to work from 1900-0700 hours (7:00 PM to 7:00 AM).

12.Senior Police Officer (SPO)1 Pay2: Modify the incentive by removing top Police Officer pay grade step (step 7) and add a pay incentive for SPOs of 5.7% of base salary.

13.Other Miscellaneous Modifications: Other minor modifications resulting in no or low cost were agreed to, primarily related to clarifying language in the MOU regarding the Senior Police Officer Program, overtime, vacation, telephone requirements, work schedules, and the promotional policy, among others.

1 Formerly referred to as Master Police Officer (MPO).
2 Staff reached out to CalPERS to review special compensation reportability. It was determined that in order for SPO pay to remain reportable, the City should shift the incentive away from being included as the top step of the pay grade. Staff analyzed compensation data to determine the 5.7% incentive pay, which will be cost neutral.

Item 6d
Revised Salary Schedules
In compliance with Public Employees’ Retirement Law and the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act of 2013 (PEPRA), CalPERS requires publicly available pay schedules. It also defines eight (8) requirements for such schedules, including that the schedule be duly approved and adopted by the employer’s governing body in accordance with requirement of applicable public meetings laws, it is posted on the employer's website, and it is retained by the employer and available for public inspection for not less than five years. Publicly available pay schedules are a critical component to verify all members’ pay rates when calculating members’ retirement benefits. Maintaining a compliant pay schedule will support transparency and expedite CalPERS’ review process. The attached salary schedule meets these requirements for the proposed salary adjustments (attachments C and D).

This declaration is separate and apart from the City’s contractual overtime obligations set forth in Section 11.1. above.

B. For the purpose of complying with FLSA overtime requirements, the City has adopted a dual calculation method whereby it calculates FLSA overtime in accordance with the requirements of FLSA regular rate requirements and more specifically, 29 CFR section 778.109 and 778.110. This requires the payment of FLSA overtime for all hours actually worked by non-exempt sworn personnel in excess of 171 in the 28-day work period.

Item 6e
Tourism Business Improvement District
After thorough review and consideration, the TBID Board identified program priorities and budget allocations at their May 22, 2024 Regular Monthly Board Meeting for the focus of marketing efforts in FY 2024-25. The list below includes the most notable allocations (Attachment A – TBID FY25 Line-Item Budget):

Tourism Marketing Services with Noble Studios: $1,250,000 The TBID will maintain their largest budget allocation (approximately 57%) towards the marketing service agreement with the contracted agency-of-record, Noble Studios.

2. Content Marketing Services with Badger Branding: $87,800 To efficiently manage the organic content channels through various social media networks, the TBID will continue to retain the local content marketing provider Badger Branding for the strategy, execution, and management of social media platforms only, a service not provided by Noble Studios. This is the first year of a new contract with this vendor who responded to a Request for Qualifications and remains on the City’s on-call communication support list.

3. SLO Chamber of Commerce Contract Services: $105,688

Item 6e

The TBID has earmarked up to $50,000 for general event promotion and sponsorships, plus $5,000 for event activations and collateral and $25,000 for seasonal promotions like the MidWeekend Promotion, offering incentives during certain time periods to visitors booking midweek stays in San Luis Obispo.

8. Research and Program Development: $30,000
In FY 2024-25, the TBID plans to invest up to $30,000 in funding for various program development and research initiatives, including funding for a consultant to help lead the update to the 5-year Tourism Strategic Plan.

9. Resource Contingency Fund: $85,000
The TBID has earmarked approximately $85,000 in other contract services for a resource contingency to be used to support the growing program need to complete the various work programs.

This funding will afford the TBID the means to expand the support of staffing resources as Office of Economic Deevelopment & Tourism organization is completed.

10.Program Contingency Fund: $7,550
The TBID has allocated an operating program contingency of $7,550 for the funding of marketing opportunities that may arise during the fiscal year.

11. Fund Balance Transfer: $66,550
Based on the most recent audited financials, the TBID fund currently has a healthy fund balance of over $1 million. This fund balance is calculated annually through the City’s budget audit, and, as referenced in Section 12.42.080 of the City’s Municipal Code, may be used in subsequent years for marketing expenditures. Additionally, the TBID also maintains a fund reserve as outlined in the Fund Reserve Policy within the TBID Bylaws. While the policy only requires $100,000 in reserves, the TBID Board has allocated $200,000 based on Board action. This funding can be used for one-time marketing expenses. To offset the program budget decrease due to the adjusted projected assessment revenue, the TBID has allocated $66,550 from the fund balance to accommodate the budget deficit.

Promotional Coordinating Committee
As stated in the PCC Advisory Body Bylaws:
“The purpose of the PCC is to advise the Council in working to improve the quality of life for all City residents and our visitors. The Committee recommends projects to help promote the City as a regional trade, recreation, and tourist center, consistent with community goals.”

Item 6e
The PCC has identified the allocations within in its program budget to support this purpose and to advance community promotions. The following program priorities and budget allocations are the focus of the community promotions efforts in FY 2024-25: (Attachment B – PCC FY25 Line-Item Budget)

1. Cultural Arts and Community Promotion (CACP) Grant program: $100,000 The Cultural Arts and Community Promotion (CACP) grant program will continue for FY 2024-25.

2. SLO Chamber of Commerce Contract Services: $208,757

The funding will be available for projects deemed important by the PCC to advance the goals of the committee.

POLICY CONTEXT
As referenced in the City’s Municipal Code related to the TBID, Section 12.42.080 (Use of revenue.), states that the City Council shall consider recommendations made by the advisory body as to the use of assessment revenue. Additionally, Section 12.42.030 (Authorized Use.), states that TBID revenue is used for the promotion of tourism. Section

12.42.080 (Use of revenue.) then states that funds remaining at the end of any TBID term may be used in subsequent years in which TBID assessments are levied if they are used consistent with the requirements of this section. As such, the TBID Board has recommended the program expenditures outlined in this report to City Council for approval for the execution of marketing programs for the TBID.

Additionally, as outlined in Article 7. Fund Reserve Policy of the Council adopted TBID Bylaws, the TBID maintain a $100,000 fund reserve. As stated in the bylaws, the purpose of the Fund Reserve policy for the TBID is to ensure stability of the program under economic uncertainties. Under this policy, it is allowable for total expenditures to exceed revenues in a given year; however, the fund reserve can only be used to fund “one-time,” non-recurring expenditures upon TBID Board approval. In the instance funds are used, the reserve fund would be replenished to the established level in the next fiscal year.

Item 6e

DISCUSSION
Background
With the adoption of the 2023-25 Financial Plan, the City Council initially approved the program budget and defined the work program for the Community Promotions program for the PCC and the TBID. Then on June 4, 2024, City Council adopted the FY 2024-25 Supplemental Budget, which reduced the projected revenue for the Transient Occupancy Tax collection in the City by 3%, and consequently the revenue for the TBID assessment as well.

Based on the allocated program budgets, both advisory bodies established recommendations for use of funding in FY 2024-25 with respective contract considerations. Both programs are overseen and administered by advisory bodies to the City Council. The PCC makes recommendations regarding the use of Community Promotions funding and the TBID Board recommends the use of the TBID assessment revenue.

Tourism Business Improvement District (TBID)
The TBID began the program development and budget allocation process in May 2024 by discussing the goals, priorities, and direction for the FY 2024-25 program. During this process, the TBID Board communicated the importance of continuing to align the budget direction, program priorities and funding commitments with the implementation of the imperatives outlined in the 2019-2024 TBID Strategic Plan, as well as the two-year TBID Strategic Marketing & Business Plan.

The TBID strategic initiatives are to:

1. Elevate the SLO Brand and Experience

2. Deliver Smart Growth

3. Build Meaningful Partnerships

4. Ensure Organizational Excellence

5. Foster Destination Resilience
In FY 2024-25, the TBID will update these guiding program documents, a process that occurs every five years for the TBID Strategic Plan and every two years for TBID Marketing & Business Plan. The areas of focus for the TBID program commitments this fiscal year are largely focused on marketing services and partnerships.

Noble Studios & DCI
FY 2024-25 will commence the first year of a new Main Services Agreement with Noble Studios for comprehensive marketing services, which include Brand Strategy & Management, Account Strategy & Project Management, Creative Services, Paid Media and Search Strategy & Management, Website Maintenance & Services, and Content Development & Reporting. This spring, the TBID completed a thorough Marketing Service RFP evaluation and interview process, and during the May 1, 2024 TBID Board meeting, the Board selected Noble Studios as the recommended agency-of-record for the TBID.

Item 6e
On May 22, 2024, the TBID Board approved the recommended allocations of FY 2024- 25 funding totaling $1,250,000 for the contract, including public relations through a subcontractor partnership with Uniquely Driven, a national boutique public relations firm.

Badger Branding
Badger Branding serves as the Content Agency for the TBID. Services provided by this contractor include the development and implementation of a Social Media Marketing Strategy, Online Community Engagement, Content Creation and Procurement, and Analysis and Reporting for the TBID’s Visit San Luis Obispo and ShareSLO social media accounts. The initial contract between the City and Badger Branding for the TBID began in September 2021. In FY 2024-25, the TBID will utilize City’s approved on-call consultant agreement with Badger Branding for the content marketing contracted services. The TBID Board has recommended the allocation of $87,800 to Badger Branding for content marketing services in FY 2024-25.

SLO Chamber of Commerce
The TBID continues to partner with the San Luis Obispo Chamber for Commerce for the continuation of various contracts, including Public Relations and Guest Services, and currently the TBID maintains two-year services agreements with the San Luis Obispo Chamber for Commerce for those work programs in partnership with the PCC. In FY 2024-25, the TBID Board has recommended funding the second year of the Public Relations contract in the TBID amount of $50,000, the second year of the Guest Services agreement in the amount of $51,975, which includes the continuation of the phone and availability service and the special promotions support service, and finally the media monitoring service expenditure of $3,713 to support a joint service with the PCC to monitor media pick-up and story production.

Industry Associations & Programs
The TBID Board also considered membership and programs with the following industry associations within California:

1. Central Coast Tourism Council (CCTC): The Board has recommended maintaining membership with the CCTC in the amount up to $1,000.

2. California Travel Association (CalTravel): The Board has recommended membership with the CalTravel organization in the amount up to $1,000.

3. SLO Coast Wine Collective: The Board has recommended membership with the SLO Coast Wine Collective in the amount up to $5,000.

4. California Hotel and Lodging Association (CHLA): The Board has recommended the investment in the TBID constituent membership with the CHLA in the amount of $30,000.

5. Kind Traveler: TBID Board has recommended funding the second year of the partnership agreement with Kind Traveler in the amount of $12,495.

Item 6e
In addition, the TBID will be partnering for the fourth year with the Office of Sustainability and ECOSLO on the continuation of the Keys for Trees initiative aimed at offsetting the carbon impact of visitors in San Luis Obispo. The TBID has allocated 1% of the FY 2024- 25 projected revenue, approximately $21,000 to this program which helps plant more than 40 trees annually.

The remaining TBID program funds are allocated to program expenses, including cooperative marketing opportunities with organizations like Visit SLO CAL or Central Coast Tourism Council (CCTC), attendance at industry conferences and additional partnerships and event sponsorships, investment in the Smith Travel Reports and other organizational services, and marketing and promotional initiatives.

These expenditures and contract commitments have been reviewed and approved by the TBID Board and the final complete line-item budget allocations were approved by TBID Board for recommendation to City Council at the TBID Board meeting held on June 13, 2024. (Attachment C – June 13, 2024 DRAFT TBID Minutes) Promotional Coordinating Committee (PCC)
The purpose of the PCC is to enhance the quality of life for residents of San Luis Obispo and to enhance the experience for visitors to San Luis Obispo. This mission was the guiding force behind the budget consideration for the PCC. During the May 8, 2024, meeting, the PCC finalized the FY 2024-25 budget allocations including the continuation of Visitor Services and Public Relations efforts, strategic initiative investment for community placemaking and recovery efforts, and the funding of the Promotional Grant program of CACP (Attachment D – May 8, 2024 PCC Minutes).

SLO Chamber of Commerce
As stated above, FY 2024-25 will continue the second year of two-year agreements with the San Luis Obispo Chamber for Commerce for various contract partnerships including Public Relations, Guest Services and Grant Promotional Support. The City through the PCC, continues to partner with the San Luis Obispo Chamber for Commerce for the continuation of various services like the production of the printed tear-off maps that are resources for visitors and residents. The City has a long partnership with the San Luis Obispo Chamber for Commerce for these work programs, and the Chamber is uniquely suited to perform this work on behalf to the City through the PCC. Currently the PCC maintains two-year services agreements with the San Luis Obispo Chamber for Commerce for those work programs. The PCC has recommended funding the second year of the contracts, including:

1. Public Relations in the amount of $50,000.

2. Guest Services the amount of $121,257.

3. Grant Promotional Support in the amount of $30,000 for the support of CACP grant awardees with promotional services.

4. Maps: up to $7,500 for printing of map and materials like the downtown tear-off map and neighborhood maps.

Item 6e
Cultural Arts and Community Promotions (CACP) Grant Program Through the PCC, the City has been offering promotional grant funding for decades, formerly known as Cultural Grants-In-Aid (GIA). Local non-profit organizations utilize the funding to promote the cultural, recreational, or social activities in our community. In FY 2023-24, the GIA program evolved into the Cultural Arts and Community Promotion (CACP) grant program. This transition occurred in phases over FY23-24, culminating with a new annual competitive grant process for FY 2024-25.

While the new CACP grant program is very similar to how Cultural GIA has operated in recent years and maintains the same purpose (to support the promotion of events in San Luis Obispo), there are some slight changes to the program specifications. The key change to note is that the CACP grants have returned to a competitive annual application for funding as opposed to funding for a fixed amount in a quarterly application cycle.

Additionally, and unlike in GIA, in CACP, the PCC will allow for multiple organizations to apply under a single non-profit fiscal sponsor.

The PCC maintained the historical allocation of $100,000 for the FY 2024-25 Community Promotions program budget for events occurring July 1, 2024 – June 30, 2025. The grant cycle was opened on February 1, 2024, and applications were due on March 18, 2024.

Notices were placed throughout City channels to advertise the availability of the grant funding application for local non-profit organizations. Additionally, previous grant recipients are notified via email regarding the grant availability. On February 8, 2024, the PCC held a mandatory meeting with all interested organizations to introduce the grant funding criteria used during the evaluation process and answers any questions from the applicants. At deadline for grant application submittal, the City had received 26 applications with funding requests amounting to $241,138. CACP applications can be reviewed in the Council Reading File (Available in the City Clerk’s Office).

The PCC’s CACP subcommittee met to review the applications, compare the requests to the grant criteria, and allocate funding accordingly. Grants are available to nonprofit organizations for the marketing and advertising costs related to the promotion of eligible activities and events in San Luis Obispo. The organization must have attended the mandatory meeting and follow all applicant and event eligibility as seen in the Program Specifications.

On May 8, 2024, the PCC held a public hearing with all applicants to allow for public comment before the recommendation was forwarded to the City Council for consideration and approval as communication to the public during the application process. The committee received three public comments from the grant applicants and ultimately approved the recommendation for the FY 2024-25 funding allocations to 23 organizations. (Attachment E – FY 24-25 CACP Funding Recommendations).

The remaining Community Promotions program funds are allocated to program expenses including attendance at industry conferences, additional partnerships, and marketing and promotional initiatives such as community placemaking and recovery projects. In fiscal year 2023-24 these included the ARTober campaign to celebrate Arts and Humanities Month, a Lunar New Year Drone Show, and the Independence Day Banner Program.

Looking ahead to fiscal year 2024-25 the PCC will continue to evaluate similar opportunities to enhance placemaking and recovery efforts.

On page 16 of the adopted FY 2024-25 Supplemental Budget, the projected Transient Occupancy Tax (TOT) in FY 24-25 is $10,586,256. The TBID revenue is based upon 20% of the TOT, making the FY 2024-25 TBID revenue budget projected at $2,117,251. As referenced on page 29 of the FY 24-25 Supplemental Budget adopted by City Council on June 4, 2024, the TBID program annually aligns its operating budget with its anticipated revenues. The TBID Budget outlined in Table 4b.3. accounts for a TBID program budget of $2,147,616, exceeding TBID’s previously adopted revenue projections by $30,365 and creating a deficit. Additionally, the adopted budget also includes a 3% reduction in revenues creating a larger deficit. To backfill this deficit, at their June 13, 2024 Special Board Meeting, the TBID Board recommended the transfer of $66,550 from the available fund balance into the TBID program budget for the use towards marketing programs, resulting in a TBID program budget of $2,183,751.

Additionally, Staff recommends that the Council fully appropriate the TBID budget for various contracts and program expenditures as outlined in this report and at the recommendation of the TBID Board. It is the fiscal responsibility of the TBID to utilize the maximum amount of revenue each year to further the marketing reach through the district’s promotional efforts. If TBID revenues do not reach budget projections, staff recommends that the Council authorize the City Manager to utilize funds in the TBID Fund Reserve to offset those revenues. It is important to approve this action at this time to safeguard the program should this situation arise and ensure there is no delay in funding access for the program.

ALTERNATIVES
The Council could choose to fund the contracts or program allocations at different levels or modify the scope of services. The advisory bodies and staff do not recommend adjustments, as the proposed expenditures are the result of careful review, discussion, and negotiations between the parties.

The Regional SWAT Team Board of Governance (BOG) determined that an updated MOU needed to be authored and approved, as the existing agreement has been in place since the inception of the team in 2008, significantly predating the current Chiefs of Police for the region.

DISCUSSION
Background
Since 2008, the Cities of Arroyo Grande, Grover Beach, Morro Bay, Paso Robles, Pismo Beach, and San Luis Obispo along with California Polytechnic State University San Luis Obispo and California State Parks have operated a Regional SWAT Team under a previously signed agreement. The SWAT Team utilizes special tactics and equipment to manage and resolve critical incidents involving armed or barricaded suspects, hostages, and high-risk warrant services or incidents that are high risk and so hazardous, complex, or unusual they may exceed the capabilities of first responders or investigative units in their respective jurisdictions.

In January 2024, the Regional SWAT Team Board of Governance, which is made up of the head law enforcement officer of the respective participating agencies, reviewed the previous agreement and prepared a new Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with updated information (Attachment B). The MOU updates included additional language in the categories under Purpose, Term, Agency Responsibilities, Agency Budgeting, and Indemnification. The Board of Governance members will select an agency to act as the fiduciary for the Regional SWAT Team. At this time, the fiduciary agency has not been selected, and may change in future years.

Item 6f
The MOU has been reviewed by each agency’s legal counsel and approved as to form.

The term of the MOU will be until June 30, 2029; however, the MOU allows the participating agencies to automatically renew the MOU for three successive five-year increments as long as there are no substantive changes needed. Each agency is responsible for contributing $5,000 per year to offset training and equipment costs, as equipment used by the SWAT Team are high-cost items and shared amongst all agencies on the team. Each agency is already expending like funds, but the updated agreement standardizes this obligation and creates equity for team members and the participating agencies. The MOU will become effective when the last agency signs the agreement.

Previous Council or Advisory Body Action
