12 THE CITY OF CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT PLEASANTON, September 19, 2023 Human Resources TITLE: INTRODUCTION OF PROPOSED MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE CITY OF PLEASANTON AND THE PLEASANTON POLICE OFFICERS' ASSOCIATION FOR A THREE- YEAR TERM ENDING MAY 31, 2026 SUMMARY The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Pleasanton and the Pleasanton Police Officers' Association (PPOA) expired on May 31, 2023. Representatives from PPOA and the City of Pleasanton met and conferred in good faith and have agreed to a successor agreement. The City's practice is to introduce the key elements of the proposed MOU, receive input from the public and allow for open discussion prior to adopting the agreement at the next publicly held City Council meet- ing. RECOMMENDATION It is recommended the City Council obtain public input and provide comment regarding the key elements of the tentative agreement negotiated between the Pleasanton Police Officers' Association and the City of Pleasanton. This matterwill be included on the agenda for the October 3, 2023, City Council meeting for consideration and approval. FINANCIAL STATEMENT The financial impact to the City budget as a result of implementing the successor MOU is approximately $6.9 million through Fiscal Year 2025/26. For Fiscal Years 2023/24 and 2024/25, additional funding required to cover increased PPOA staffing costs is approximately $0.5 million. In order not to increase the overall General Fund budget, budget reductions will be made by freezing certain budgeted/vacant positions as well as reducing some non-personnel budget items across multiple City departments. Beyond the first two years, this funding gap is expected to be much larger, approximately $1.2 million annually starting in Fiscal Year 2025/26 when compared to baseline increases typically used to forecast staffing costs. Without any new, sustainable revenue alternative, additional budget reductions across City departments will likely be necessary. Staff will present necessary budget adjustments as part of the next biennial budget development process in spring 2025.
