Regulations (Resolution No. 55412 N.C.S.); and
WHEREAS, the duly authorized representatives of the City and PPMMA have reached a Tentative
Agreement and executed this MOU, effective July 1, 2020 – June 30, 2024, and recommend its approval by
the City Council; and
WHEREAS, the City Manager, pursuant to Section 28 of the Charter of the City of Petaluma, and as the

compensation; and
WHEREAS, the City Manager has reviewed and concurs with said MOU, effective July 1, 2020 – June 30,

WHEREAS, PPMMA classifications that are below market median will receive a salary equity adjustment
sufficient to meet market median and/or internal benchmarking analysis, as specified in the salary tables in
Exhibit B; and
WHEREAS, the proposed action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality
Act (CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, in that ratifying the attached MOU does not
meet CEQA's definition of a “project,” because the action does not have the potential for resulting either a
direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment, and because this is a personnel-related action that constitutes organizational or administrative
activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.

1. Declares the above recitals to be true and correct and are incorporated into this resolution as findings of the

2. Finds that the proposed action is exempt from the requirements of the California Environmental Quality Act
(CEQA) in accordance with CEQA Guidelines Section 15378, in that ratifying the attached MOU does not
meet CEQA's definition of a “project,” because the action does not have the potential for resulting either a
direct physical change in the environment or a reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the
environment, and because this is a personnel-related action that constitutes organizational or administrative
activities of governments that will not result in direct or indirect physical changes in the environment.

1
PREAMBLE
The City of Petaluma, hereinafter referred to as the “City” and the Petaluma Professional and Mid-
Managers Association, hereinafter referred to as the “Association” have met and conferred in good faith
regarding wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment for the employees in representation
Units 4, 9, and 11, and have entered into this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) pursuant to the
provisions of the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act, Section 3500, et seq of the Government Code of the State of
California.
The parties jointly agree to recommend to the City Council of the City of Petaluma the adoption of this
Memorandum for the period commencing July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2024.
The Parties reached agreement on a consolidated MOU covering bargaining Units 4, 9, and 11 in the
Spring of 2021 with the intention of maintaining the existing terms and conditions of employment
contained in the individual bargaining unit MOUs. If the terms and conditions contained in the
consolidated MOU differ from those established in one or more of the individual bargaining unit MOUs,
the terms of the individual MOU(s) will prevail and the Parties will meet to correct the issue in the
consolidated MOU. This Paragraph is intended only to cover the initial term of the consolidated MOU
and will become ineffective on June 30, 2024.
SECTION 1 – TERM OF AGREEMENT
1.1 Effective Date
This Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) shall be effective for the period commencing July 1,
2020 and ending June 30, 2024.
1.2 Commencement of Negotiations
It is mutually agreed to begin the Meet and Confer process for a successor Memorandum of
Understanding no later than three (3) months before the expiration of this MOU. The process may
be initiated by either party through a written request to the other party to commence negotiations
and the submittal of potential meeting dates.
SECTION 2 – GENERAL PROVISIONS
2.1 Recognition – Association Recognition
Subject to the statutory rights of self-representation under Government Code Section 3503, the
Petaluma Professional and Mid-Managers Association is the recognized employee organization
for those classifications listed in Exhibit "A – Salary Table."
2.2 Recognition – City Recognition
The Municipal Employee Relations Officer of the City of Petaluma, or any person or organization
duly authorized by the Municipal Employee Relations Officer, is the representative of the City in
employer-employee relations.

of competent jurisdiction or other established government administrative tribunal or board, such
invalidation shall not affect remaining portions of the MOU.

2.4 FLSA Distinction for Professional and Mid-Managers
This MOU covers multiple bargaining units, including both employees covered by the federal Fair
Labor Standards Act (FLSA) (“Non-exempt” or “FLSA-non-exempt”) and employees who are
exempt from the FLSA (“Exempt” or “FLSA-Exempt”). Historically, the term “Professional”
employees is used to signify Non-exempt employees, while the term “Mid-Manager” is used to
signify Exempt employees. This consolidated MOU generally does away with the
Professional/Mid-Manager distinction in favor of the FLSA-based distinction.
Except as specifically provided in this MOU, exempt employees are paid on a salary basis and do
not earn extra compensation based on hours worked, such as on call pay, call back pay, or overtime.
SECTION 3 – ASSOCIATION RIGHTS
3.1 Association Rights – Association Representatives
The City employees who are official representatives of the Association shall be given reasonable
time off with pay to attend meetings with management representatives, investigate grievances, or
be present at hearings where matters within the scope of representation or grievances are being
considered.
(A) The use of official time for this purpose shall be reasonable and shall not interfere with the
performance of the City services as determined by the City.
(B) Such employee representatives shall request time off from his/her respective supervisor
and coordinate work schedules.
(C) Except by mutual agreement, the number of employees excused for such purposes shall
not exceed three (3) per affected bargaining unit. However, in order that any given
department not be unduly burdened by the release time requirements, in no case shall more
than one (1) representative from any particular job classification in the same department
be allowed release time pursuant to this section at any given time. If two (2) or more
employees request to be excused from any one department pursuant to this section,
permission is subject to the approval of the Department Director or his/her designee.
(D) No employee other than an official representative on release time pursuant to this provision
shall attend to or conduct Association business while on duty, nor shall City equipment be
utilized for such matters except as specifically authorized by this MOU.
3.2 Association Rights – Bulletin Boards
Authorized representatives of the Association shall be allowed to post Association notices on
specified bulletin boards maintained on City premises.
3.3 Association Rights – Access to Work Location
Reasonable access to employee work locations shall be granted to officers of the Association and
his/her officially designated representatives for the purpose of processing grievances or contacting
members of the Association concerning business within the scope of representation. Access shall
be restricted so as not to interfere with the normal operation of the departments or with established
safety or security requirements.

Solicitation of membership and activities concerned with the internal management of the
Association, such as collecting dues, holding membership meetings, campaigning for office,
conducting elections and distributing literature, shall not be conducted during working hours.
3.4 Association Rights – Use of City Facilities
The Association or authorized representatives of the Association, may with the prior approval of
the City, be granted the use of City facilities for meetings of the Association, provided space is
available and subject to City operational requirements.
3.5 Association Rights – Advance Notice
Except in cases of declared emergencies, reasonable advance written notice shall be given to the
Association of any ordinance, rule, resolution, or regulation directly relating to matters within the
scope of representation proposed to be adopted by the City Council, and the Association shall be
given the opportunity to meet and confer prior to adoption.
(A) In cases of emergency when the City Council determines that an ordinance, rule, resolution,
or regulation within the scope of representation must be adopted immediately without prior
notice or meeting and conferring with the Association, the City agrees to meet and confer
within a reasonable and practical time after the termination of the emergency situation.
(B) During the course of such declared emergencies, the City shall have the sole discretion to
act as may be required during the course of the emergency to ensure the provision of what
it determines to be adequate and necessary public service, including, if necessary, the
authority to temporarily suspend any provision of this MOU. Upon the termination of said
emergency, the terms and conditions of the existing MOU will again become effective.
3.6 Association Rights – List of Employees
The City will notify the Association president of the new employee orientation for new employees
as soon as possible. New employee orientation occurs as needed depending upon hire date instead
of a regularly scheduled event. The City will provide the Association up to thirty (30) minutes of
time at the end of the new employee orientation for the Association’s representation of information
to the employee(s). The City will provide the Association the required employee personal contact
information: the name, home address, personal email address, and personal cell phone number.
The new employee contact information will be provided to the Association within thirty (30) days
after the represented new employee completes their new employee orientation. The City will
provide the Association the personal contact information of all employees to the unions at least
every one-hundred and twenty (120) days.
The City agrees to provide the name and new classification of those employees whose transfer or
promotion places them into the PPMMA within two (2) weeks of their beginning appointment or
employment with the City.
3.7 Association Rights – Discrimination, Harassment & Retaliation Prohibited
No employee, official or representative of this Association shall in any way suffer any type of
discrimination in connection with continued employment, promotion, or otherwise by virtue of
membership in or representation by the Bargaining Unit.
3.8 Association Rights – Political Activity
The political activity of PPMMA employees shall comply with pertinent provisions of State and
Federal law.

3.9 Association Rights - Annual Actuarial Valuation
The City will provide PPMMA with a copy of the annual actuarial valuation provided by
CalPERS and other relevant correspondence from CalPERS directly relating to the CalPERS
contract covering members within ten (10) business days of receipt.
SECTION 4 – ASSOCIATION DUES DEDUCTIONS
4.1 Association Dues – Payroll Deductions
Payroll deduction for membership dues shall be granted by the City to the Association.
(A) Payroll deductions shall be for a specified uniform amount between the employee and the
Association and shall not include fines, fees, and/or assessments. Dues deductions shall be
made only upon receiving certification from the Association of each employee’s individual
authorization.
(B) Authorization, cancellation, or modifications of payroll deduction shall be made upon
certification provided or approved by the Association.
(C) Amounts deducted and withheld by the City shall be transmitted to the officer designated
in writing by the Association as the person authorized to receive such funds, at the address
specified.
(D) The employee’s earnings must be sufficient, after all other required deductions are made,
to cover the amount of the deductions herein authorized. When an employee is in a non-
pay status for an entire pay period, no withholdings will be made to cover that pay period
from future earnings nor will the employee deposit the amount with the City which would
have been withheld if the employee had been in pay status during that period.
(E) In the case of an employee who is in a non-paid status during a part of the pay period, and
the salary is not sufficient to cover the full withholding, no deduction shall be made. In this
connection, all other required deductions have priority over the Association dues
deduction.
(F) The Association shall indemnify, defend, and hold the City harmless against any claim
made against the City and/or any lawsuit initiated against the City on account of
Association payroll dues deductions made by the City consistent with Section 4, and any
other payments to the Association consistent with this MOU.
SECTION 5 – MANAGEMENT RIGHTS
It is the right of the City to make decisions of a managerial or administrative character including: decisions
on the type, extent, and standards of services performed; decisions on the methods, means, and personnel
by which the City operations and services are to be conducted; and those necessary to exercise control
over the City government operations in the most efficient and economical manner practicable and in the
best interests of the City residents. All managerial functions and rights to which the City has not expressly
modified or restricted by specific provision of this MOU shall remain with the City.

SECTION 6 - SALARIES
6.1 Salaries
Salary Ranges shall be as specified in Exhibit “A.”
(A) Across-the-Board Cost of Living Increases
Effective the first full pay period in July 2020, all unit members shall receive a one-point five
percent (1.5%) base wage increase.
Effective the first full pay period following July 1, 2021, all unit members shall receive a two
percent (2.0%) base wage increase.
Effective the first full pay period following July 1, 2022, all unit members shall receive a two
percent (2.0%) base wage increase.
Effective the first full pay period following July 1, 2023, all unit members shall receive a two
percent (2.0%) base wage increase.
(B) Reopener
Upon the request of either party, no later than December 31, 2022, the MOU will reopen on
the issue of wages only. The parties will begin meeting and conferring no later than March
15, 2023. Any changes will be by mutual agreement only.
(C) Market-Based Equity Adjustments
Effective the first full pay period following July 1, 2021, the City shall increase the base pay
for each classification with a total compensation of below market median based on the Ralph
Andersen and Associates’ Total Compensation Survey (“Survey”). Market-based equity
increases will be effective the first full pay period following July 1, 2021. These changes are
reflected in the Salary Tables Attached as Exhibit “A.”
In addition, each non-surveyed classification which is tied to a benchmark classification will
receive a base wage increase sufficient to maintain the differential recommended by Ralph
Andersen and Associates in the document entitled “Salary Benchmarks and Alignments.”
These changes are also reflected in the Salary Tables Attached as Exhibit “A.”
Market based equity adjustments are independent of the cost-of-living adjustment (“COLA”)
but will be implemented in an additive (non-compounded) fashion. For example, if a
classification is scheduled to receive a 9.7% market equity adjustment and a 2.0% COLA, the
classification will receive a total increase of 11.7%.
(D) Y-Rating
1. Any classification determined to be more than 5% over market median (“Market
Median plus 5%”) based on the Salary Benchmarks and Alignments document will be
Y-Rated until it has foregone COLA’s equivalent to its position above Market
Median plus 5%. In this context, Y-Rating shall mean that the classification will have
its COLA’s reduced by 1% of salary until it has foregone COLA’s equivalent to its
position above Market Median plus 5%.
[Example A: Classification A is a benchmark classification found to be 7% above
Market Median, which means it is 2% over Market Median plus 5%. Classification A

will have its COLA’s reduced by 1% per year for a period of 2 years. Under the
agreement, COLA’s for each of the next 2 years would have been 2% per year.
Therefore, Classification A will receive a 1% COLA in Year 1 (2% minus 1%) and a
1% COLA in Year 2 (2% minus 1%).]
[Example B: Classification B is a benchmark classification found to be 6.7% above
Market Median, which means it is 1.7% over Market Median plus 5%. Classification
B will have its COLA’s reduced by 1% in Year 1 and 0.7% in Year 2. Under the
agreement, COLA’s for each of the next 2 years would have been 2% per year.
Therefore, Classification B will receive a 1% COLA in Year 1 (2% minus 1%) and a
1.3% COLA in Year 2 (2% minus 0.7%).]

and agreed to formally replace Columbus Day with Cesar Chavez Day in future fiscal years once
administratively feasible (including agreement by all impacted bargaining units.
The holidays for fiscal years 21/22, 22/23, and 23/24 are as follows:
Independence Day Christmas Day
Labor Day New Year’s Day
Veterans’ Day Martin Luther King Day
Thanksgiving Day Presidents’ Day
Day after Thanksgiving Cesar Chavez Day
Christmas Eve Memorial Day
The City Council may, by resolution, recognize additional Holidays to be observed for one or more
fiscal years covered by this agreement.
When a holiday falls on a Saturday, that holiday will be observed on the prior Friday. When a
holiday falls on a Sunday, that holiday will be observed on the following Monday. The City
Council Resolution fixing holidays for the fiscal year will normally designate he observed holidays
for employees on alternate workweeks (e.g., 4-10 work schedules). Where the City Council does
not designate the observed holiday for an alternative workweek and where it will not cause
operational issues, the employee will normally take off the workday following the observed
holiday.
Example: Employee A’s work schedule is Mon, Tue, Sat, Sun. If Veteran’s Day falls on
Wednesday, November 11, Employee A will normally take off their next regularly scheduled
workday – in this case, Saturday.
Observance by an employee of a designated religious event may be granted, if practical, with at
least seven (7) days prior approval required for such leave, under the following methods:
(A) Time charged to accrued vacation allowance; or
(B) Time off without pay.

workday as part of their 9/80 schedule. If an employee works a 5/8 schedule (five days/week,
eight hours/day), s/he shall receive eight (8) hours of pay for the holiday. The same shall be true

SECTION 27 – HEALTH BENEFITS – ACTIVE EMPLOYEES
27.1 Active Employees – PEMHCA Contribution
The City currently provides health benefits through the CalPERS Health Benefits Program under the

For example, the 2021 Kaiser health rate for an employee electing employee only coverage is $813.64.
The PEMHCA contribution ($143.00) is subtracted from the 2021 Kaiser health rate ($813.64) to attain
the 2021 health rate less the PEMHCA contribution ($670.64). The 2021 health rate less the PEMHCA
contribution ($670.64) multiplied by ninety-five percent (95%) equals the City’s benefit contribution
of $637.11. The PEMHCA contribution ($143.00) is added to the City’s benefit contribution of
$637.11 to attain the total 2021 City’s contribution rate ($780.11). The total 2021 City’s contribution
rate ($780.11) is subtracted from the 2021 Kaiser health rate of $813.64 to attain the monthly employee
contribution rate of $33.53.
27.3 Additional Contribution – Effective January 1, 2022
The 2022 CalPERS premium for Kaiser – Bay Area and required 2022 PEMHCA contribution are
unknown. Effective January 1, 2022, the City shall pay the additional benefit that depends upon the

The City’s benefit contribution for 2022 shall be equal to the actual 2022 CalPERS Health premium
for Kaiser – Bay Area, less the City’s PEMHCA contribution, times ninety-five percent (95%) for
current employees and their covered family members.
27.4 Additional Contribution – Effective January 1, 2023
The 2023 CalPERS premium for Kaiser – Bay Area and required 2023 PEMHCA contribution are

The City’s benefit contribution for 2023 shall be equal to the actual 2023 CalPERS Health

28.2 “Unequal Contribution” Method for Health Care Premium Payments for Retirees
The City uses the “unequal contribution” method for health care premium payments for annuitants
(retirees), as permitted under Government Code section 22892. Under this method, the City is required
annually to increase the total monthly annuitant health care contribution to equal an amount not less
than the number of years the City has been in the PEMHCA program multiplied by five percent (5%)
of the current monthly employer contribution for active employees until the time the City’s
contribution for annuitants equals the City’s PEMHCA contribution paid for active employees.
Effective calendar year 2014, the “unequal contribution” method for health care premium payments
for annuitants (retirees) will be at the twenty-year mark. Thus, the City’s contribution for the
PEMHCA program will be at 100% (5% x 20 years). Therefore, the monthly employer contribution
for annuitants is the required minimum PEMHCA contribution.
The City pays this contribution directly to CalPERS. The retiree is required to contribute to the cost
of the health benefit coverage. The retiree’s monthly contribution shall be the cost of the monthly
health benefit premium less the amount of the City’s contribution.
28.3 CalPERS Annuitant – PEMHCA Health Benefits

judgment or ability to work has been affected by ingestion of a prescription or over-
the-counter drug.
(D) In fulfilling their responsibility under this section, employees are not required to explain
the illness or medical condition for which they are taking medication, nor indicate the type

shall have such requests treated confidentially. Participation in the Employee Assistance
Program does not, however, relieve employees of their responsibility to meet all work
performance requirements and standards.
(G) Should an employee be disciplined due to an incident which involves a violation of the
Drug and Alcohol Policy, the City may require participation in a substance abuse program
in addition to other disciplinary action and the employee shall faithfully participate in such
a program. Failure to agree to and participate in such a program may be cause for dismissal.

if found possessing, ingesting, using, suffering from the effects or involved in furnishing,
selling or offering illegal drugs or alcohol.

employee.
(B) An employee who disagrees with his/her performance evaluation shall be given
opportunity to submit a written response to the evaluation. The response will accompany

evaluation shall not be subject to the provisions of the Grievance Procedure of this
agreement.
44.2 Safety Committee
The City agrees that it has the obligation to take reasonable steps to furnish employment and a
place of employment which is safe and healthful for its employees.
Unit employees may report to the City any condition which they perceive to be a working condition
which is less than safe or healthful. Upon receiving such a report, the City agrees to meet with the
Unit employees to discuss the reported condition.
One (1) FLSA Exempt employee and one (1) FLSA Non-Exempt employee shall be included in
the City’s Central Safety Committee established by the City’s Injury and Illness Prevention
Program.
SECTION 45 - FLEXIBLY STAFFED CLASSIFICATIONS
Flexibly staffed classifications are those so defined by adopted class specifications. Advancement from
one level of a flexibly staffed classification to the next level of a flexibly staffed classification (e.g.,
from Management Analyst I to Management Analyst II) may occur when a position is authorized at the
higher level but filled at the lower level and there is a department need. At such time, upon the request
of the Department Director and approval by the City Manager, incumbents may advance to the higher
level upon attainment of the required training, education, and/or experience, who have demonstrated
proficiency in the member’s area of assignment. The requirements for advancement within a flexibly
staffed series are those established by the adopted job specification.
SECTION 46 – MUTUAL ACCEPTANCE AND RECOMMENDATION
