AGENDA TITLE: Adopt Resolution Amending the Memorandum of Understanding with the Lodi
Professional Firefighters for the Period July 1,2007 to March 31,2009
MEETING DATE: July 2,2008
PREPARED BY: Dean Gualco, Human Resources Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Adopt resolution amending the Memorandum of Understanding with
the Lodi Professional Firefighters Performance Incentive Bonus
program.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: The California Public Employees' Retirement System (CaIPERS)
Compensation Review Unit reviewed compensation reported by the
City of Lodi. CALPers determined that Article VI of the Lodi
Professional Firefighters Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) does not meet the criteria for the bonus
to continue to be tracked as salary for purposes of calculating retirement benefits, as outlined in the
California Code of Regulations (CCR) Section 571 9a)(1).
CALPERS permits the Lodi City Council to declare by adoption of a resolution changing the Employee
Incentive program to a Compensation/Loyalty Incentive program. This will maintain compliance under
California Code of Regulations (CCR) Section 571 9a)(1) and for the purpose of retirement calculations.
Adoption cf such a resolution is deemed necessary to secure accurate figures upon retirement for those
employees represented under the Lodi Professional Firefighters Association.
FISCAL IMPACT: Adoption of this Resolution allows the City to continue an existing employee
incentive program to be counted towards retirement benefit calculations.
There is no additional fiscal impact.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Compensation/Loyalty Incentive program funding was approved in the
2008-2009 Fire Department budget.
