DATE: July 6, 2015
Agenda Item #5.A
TO: Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Co 1 through City Manager
FROM: Dianne Dinsmore, Human Resources Director
SUBJECT: Resolution Ratifying The Tentative Agreement Executed By The Duly Authorized
Representatives Of The City Of Petaluma And American Federation of State,
County and Municipal Employees Local 675 Unit 1 Confidential, Unit 2
Maintenance, and Unit 3 Clerical Technical
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council adopt the Resolution Ratifying The Tentative
Agreement Executed By The Duly Authorized Representatives Of The City Of Petaluma And
American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Local 675 Unit 1
Confidential, Unit 2 Maintenance, and Unit 3 Clerical /Technical.
BACKGROUND
Section 1.3 of the AFSCME Memoranda of Understanding (MOUs) for Units 1, 2, and 3
effective January 1, 2012 — December 31, 2015 provides for a wage reopener for purposes of a
potential salary adjustment. This action ratifies the Tentative Agreement reached by the parties.
DISCUSSION
The City and AFSCME met over a period of nearly twelve months in contract re- opener
negotiations for the sole purpose of discussing whether a salary adjustment (increase or decrease)
may take place effective for fiscal years 2014 -15 and 2015 -16. The only item subject to the
contract re- opener is potential salary adjustments in each of the fiscal years.
The parties have reached a Tentative Agreement. If ratified by the City Council, all AFSCME -
represented positions will receive a 3% base wage increase effective the pay period beginning
July 6, 2015. This single 3% base wage increase resolves both the FY 2014/2015 and FY
2015/16 wage re- openers and is not retroactive. The salary tables effective July 6, 2015 may be
found in Attachment 3.
FINANCIAL IMPACTS
The unadjusted cost for the 3% increase is approximately $102,400 to the General Fund, and
approximately $293,000 in other funds. Total cost of the increase is approximately $395,400 in
all funds. The increase is off -set as described below, resulting in a net increase to the General
Fund of $12,335 and $34,740 to other Funds as a result of the agreement, for a total net increase
of approximately $47,400 in all funds.
In the subject MOU's covering all AFSCME represented positions, the amount of the City's
contribution for health premiums for current employees and their covered family members are
capped at the contribution levels in effect as of January 1, 2015. In the long -term financial
forecast, the City currently assumes a 9% increase in City cost each year. Therefore, the medical
benefit cap on costs as of January 1, 2015, results in a forecasted budget savings of $90,000 in
the General Fund and $258,000 in other funds, which substantially offsets the $395,400 cost for
wage increases. Accounting for the savings in the long -term financial forecast, the net increase
is approximately $47,400, in all funds.
