AGENDA TITLE: Authorize City Manager to Execute an Addendum to the 2008-2009 Memorandum
of Understanding Between the City of Lodi and the Lodi City Mid -Management
Association.
MEETING DATE: January 20,2010
SUBMITTED BY: Human Resources Manager
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Authorize City Manager to execute an addendum to the 2008-2009
Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Lodi and the
Lodi City Mid -Management Association.
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: This agreement modifies the existing Memorandum of
Understanding (MOU) between the City and the Mid -Management
Association. The current MOU is effective January 1, 2008 through
December 31, 2009. Rather than renegotiate anew MOU, the City
and the Mid -Management Association have reached a tentative agreement to extend the current MOU
through December 31, 2010 with several minor modifications. Those modifications are detailed in
Exhibit and are consistent with direction previously provided in Closed Session.
FISCAL IMPACT: Generally, no net change in the context of the MOU. The medical
insurance opt -out provision may reduce the cost savings achieved, but it is
a fairer assumption to believe it will result in a cost reduction as more
people decline insurance.
FUNDING AVAILABLE: N/A.
Respectfully submitted,
Jordan Ayers
Deputy City Manager/Internal Services Director

Human Resources Manager
