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, 2026.
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, 2026.
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

Petaluma Professional and Mid-Managers Association is the recognized employee organization
for those classifications listed in Exhibit "A— Salary Table."

DocuSign Envelope ID:8873FB56-63FF-4ECB-B209-7F1F70CE9CE5
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

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.

(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.

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.

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.

DocuSign Envelope ID:8873FB56-63FF-4ECB-B209-7F1F70CE9CE5
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
four percent(4.0%)base wage increase.
Effective the first full pay period following July 1, 2024, all unit members shall receive a
three percent(3.0%)base wage increase.
Effective the first full pay period following July 1, 2025, all unit members shall receive a
three percent (3.0%)base wage increase.
(B)Total Compensation Benchmark Study
The City will retain a consultant to complete a benchmark Total Compensation Survey with a
target completion date of December 31, 2025. In or around October of 2025, the parties will
meet with the City's retained survey consultant and review the consultant's recommended
survey jurisdictions, benchmark classifications, and survey matches for the revised Total
Compensation Survey.
The Parties intend the Total Compensation Survey to provide information to support
consideration of market-based equity adjustments for individual classifications for successor
MOU negotiations.
(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
2020-2026 City of Petaluma/PPMMA MOU(Units 4,9,and 11) 5
DocuSign Envelope ID:8873FB56-63FF-4ECB-B209-7F1 F70CE9CE5
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
I. 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 I% 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 I%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 I 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 I% COLA in Year 1 (2%minus I%) and a
1.3% COLA in Year 2 (2% minus 0.7%).]
2. Classifications which received pay increases pursuant to the B2B Side Letter
Agreement will not be subject to Y-Rating.
6.2 Temporary Assignment Pay
