Adopt a resolution approving a side letter agreement to the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of El Cerrito and the El Cerrito Police Employees’ Association to modify language on salaries and retirement. 3.

BACKGROUND During the FY 2014-15 budget process, the City Council was appraised of various balancing measures proposed by staff to address shortfalls in the City’s operating budget. These measures included consideration of concessions on behalf of certain employee groups, including increased employee contributions to California Public Employees Retirement System (PERS) benefits, for the unrepresented employees (Management and Confidential employees) and those bargaining units that were not subject to a current Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). To date, the unrepresented employees, the City Manager, and the City Council have all increased their employee retirement contribution to the full PERS Miscellaneous rate of The City is still in active negotiations with those bargaining units that have expired contracts. City staff has also approached the bargaining units that are in current MOUs to discuss the possibility of modifications to assist the City in light of the financial challenges presented within this fiscal year’s budget. The United Professional Firefighters Association, Local 1230 and the El Cerrito Police Employees’ Association (ECPEA), agreed to discuss concessions with City representatives. The MOU between the City and both of these groups expire on June 30, 2017. Local 1230 and the ECPEA willingly ---PAGE BREAK--- Agenda Item No. Page 2 participated and positive discussions took place between members and City representatives relative to the concessions. ANALYSIS The City’s Management team and representatives of Local 1230 and ECPEA began meeting in June 2014 to discuss the financial challenges and the balancing measures being considered for the City budget, both short- and long-term. Specifically, City representatives were interested in discussing increasing employees’ contribution to PERS, similar to the unrepresented employee groups. Local 1230 and the ECPEA employees are members of the Public Safety PERS plan with a at 50’ retirement formula, which has a nine percent employee contribution. Non-sworn members of the ECPEA are included in the Miscellaneous PERS plan with a ‘2.7% at 55’ retirement formula, which has an eight percent employee contribution. Within the current MOUs, the employee contribution known as the Employer Paid Member Contribution (EPMC) is paid entirely by the City. The current MOUs also provide for salary increases for the next three years: in years 2014 and 2016 an increase between 2% and 4% subject to CPI would occur; in 2015 a salary adjustment to the median rate according to a salary survey would be made. The Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) stipulates that in 2018, employers are allowed to require employees to pay at least 50% of the normal cost of retirement benefits as long as the cost does not exceed 8% for miscellaneous members and 12% for police and fire members. City representatives discussed several MOU modification options with both groups, including payment of the current public safety employee contribution cost of with a corresponding 8 percent increase in salary over the remainder of the contract. However, both groups expressed a willingness to consider moving toward the full 12% cost, recognizing the City’s current financial picture while looking ahead to the implementation of PEPRA. As a result, the City and both Local 1230 and ECPEA have tentatively agreed to side letter agreements that modifies salaries and retirement contributions for the last three years of the contract. Local 1230 The modifications to Local 1230’s MOU would result in a savings of approximately $150,000 for this fiscal year and $275,000 over the last two years of the MOU, with the long-term benefit of reducing personnel expenditures to the City. The changes are as follows: Local 1230 Year Salary Increase New PERS Contribution 2014 8.0% 9.0% 2015 4.5% 1.5% 2016 4.5% 1.5% Agenda Item No. 7(A) ---PAGE BREAK--- Agenda Item No. Page 3 ECPEA These changes to the ECPEA MOU would also result in a savings of approximately $150,000 for this fiscal year and $290,000 over the last two years of the MOU, with the long-term benefit of reducing personnel expenditures to the City. Further, the term of the agreement will be extended by six months in order to stagger the end dates of the public safety MOUs. The modifications to salaries and benefits are as follows: ECPEA Year Salary Increase New PERS Contribution 2014 8.0% 9.0% 2015 4.5% 1.5% 2016 4.0% 1.5% In addition, during the discussions with ECPEA, City representatives agreed to modifications in longevity pay categories in an attempt to assist with the current retention challenges in the Police Department. Modifications to longevity pay are as follows: ECPEA – Longevity Pay Years of Service Current Proposed 5 3.0% 7 3.0% 10 15 20 5.0% 7.0% 6.0% 9.0% In essence, the savings to the City for Fiscal Year 2015 is a result of the employees in both Local 1230 and ECPEA foregoing a 2.6% cost of living adjustment and reducing salaries by 1% (the net decrease of the 9% PERS contribution, offset by the 8% salary increase). Because the employee contribution to PERS is already considered “pensionable”, this shift does not result in increased pension amounts for the employees. Additionally, language is included in both side letters that states that employees that are considered “new members” in accordance with the Public Employees’ Pension Reform Act (PEPRA) will be enrolled under the PERS Public Safety Employee 2.7% at 57 retirement formula. The modifications to the MOUs outlined in the side letter agreements require that the provisions of PEPRA will now apply to those new members in both bargaining units. Agenda Item No. 7(A) ---PAGE BREAK--- Agenda Item No. 7(A) Since Local 1230 and the ECPEA were both within a valid contract and not under any obligation to agree to concessions, the City's management staff recognizes the members for their willingness to assist the City with its fiscal challenges, both short- and long- term, and is appreciative of the amicable nature of the discussions that took place. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS The concessions by the United Professional Firefighters Association, Local 1230 and the ECPEA will save the City approximately $870,000 over the next three years. LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS The attached resolutions modifying reporting and payment of employer paid member contributions for both of the bargaining units are required by PERS when amending the payment of employer paid member contributions (EPMC). These resolutions notify PERS that the City has eliminated the EPMC for both bargaining units and increase the member contribution from 0% to Scott Hanin, City Manager Attachment: 1.
