DISCUSSION
The City Council approved a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Santa Ana and the Santa Ana Police Management Association (PMA) on November 15, 2022. Article 6.0 of the MOU outlines parameters for an educational incentive program allowing employees to receive additional compensations for education and training above what is required for their classification. The City and PMA want to have and maintain a well-trained and educated command staff. The proposed changes would clarify the various levels of incentive payment and the requirements.
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
There is no environmental impact associated with these actions.
FISCAL IMPACT
For PMA, there is no immediate fiscal impact associated with this action. In the future, some sworn PMA members may qualify for an additional 5% of education incentive pay.
Based on language in the EMT Resolution, this amendment will allow the Chief of Police to immediately obtain an additional 5% of education incentive pay, equivalent to $13,947.
