RESOLUTION NO. ____ (2025)
APPROVING AMENDMENTS TO THE MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE CITY OF SAN MATEO AND THE SAN MATEO MANAGEMENT EMPLOYEES’ ASSOCIATION
WHEREAS, the San Mateo Management Employees’ Association (SMMEA or Unit) and the City have negotiated changes to the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) for the Association; and
WHEREAS, the amendments are related to salary equity adjustments; and
WHEREAS, the parties have met and conferred, and have signed a Side Letter of Agreement to amend the Unit’s MOU.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF SAN MATEO, CALIFORNIA, HEREBY RESOLVES that:
1. This Side Letter of Agreement is not a project subject to CEQA, because it is a government fiscal activity which does not involve any commitment to any specific project which may result in a potentially significant physical impact on the environment. (CEQA Guidelines Section 15378(b)(4).)
2. The amendments to the Memorandum of Understanding for the SMMEA, set forth in the Side Letter of Agreement attached as Exhibit A, are approved and summarized as follows:
Salary: The Side Letter of Understanding was created to provide a salary equity adjustment to the Assistant City Attorney of 6.72%, Parks and Landscape Manager of 7.86%, Parks and Landscape Maintenance Supervisor of 7.86%, Managing Arborist of 7.86% and the Wastewater Treatment Plant Lab Supervisor of 1.52% compensation effective the first full pay period following Council adoption.
3. The additional equity adjustments will result in an annual increase or approximately $84,400, with $51,200 in the General Fund, $25,200 in the Construction Services Fund, and $8,000 in the Sewer Fund, all which can be absorbed within each departments’ budget.
