AGENDA TITLE: Authorize City Manager to Execute an Addendum to the 2007-2011 Memorandum
of Understanding Between the City of Lodi and the Police Officers Association of
Lodi Bargaining Unit.
MEETING DATE: January 6,2010
SUBMITTED BY: Human Resources Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize City Manager to execute an addendum to the 2007-2011
Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Lodi and the
Police Officers Association of Lodi Bargaining Unit.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This agreement modifies the existing Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) between the City and the Police Officers
Association of Lodi (POA). The current MOU is effective October 9,
2007 through October 8,201 1. Certain provisions of the existing
MOU are subject to "reopening" if General Fund revenues did not increase by at least one percent from
June 30, 2008 to June 30, 2009. Since revenues did not increase negotiations were reopened with
regard to salary and benefits.
Through subsequent negotiations, the City and the POA have reached a tentative agreement on the
contract Addendum as detailed in Appendix A. Other than a slight increase in tuition reimbursement, the
Addendum represents agreements on non -economic items.
FISCAL IMPACT: Annual cost approximately $1,500 (attributedto tuition reimbursement).
FUNDING AVAILABLE: Increased costs will be absorbed within existing appropriations of the Police
Department.
