18 <br />THE CITY Of <br />pL~E~S~4NTONo CITY COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT <br />1 <br />August 21, 2007 <br />Administrative Services Department <br />TITLE: REVIEW AND DISCUSS RESOLUTION AMENDING MEMORANDUM <br />OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE LIVERMORE-PLEASANTON <br />FIRE DEPARTMENT JOINT POWERS AUTHORITY AND <br />INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FIREFIGHTERS, LOCAL 1974 <br />SUMMARY <br />The Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire <br />Department Joint Powers Authority and International Association of Firefighters, Local <br />1974 expired on July 31, 2007. In accordance with the Joint Powers Authority <br />Agreement between Livermore and Pleasanton creating the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire <br />Department, the JPA Board and the City Councils of Livermore and Pleasanton are the <br />appropriate agencies to approve labor agreements with represented employees. <br />Representatives of the partner cities met and conferred with representatives of the <br />Local and reached a tentative agreement covering the period August 1, 2007 through <br />July 31, 2010. The Local ratified the tentative agreement in early July. The JPA Board <br />and the Livermore City Council approved the tentative agreement in July also. The final <br />step in the process is to present the tentative agreement to the Pleasanton City Council <br />for approval. <br />Unlike previous years, staff is introducing the tentative agreement with IAFF, Local <br />1974, in two steps. The first step is an introduction of the matter at the August 21St <br />Council meeting, with no formal action being requested by staff. The second step <br />involves formal action at the September 4th meeting. This provides an opportunity for <br />staff and City Council to openly discuss the matter in two sessions. The thought is to <br />"sunshine" the proposed action during the first meeting and to receive input from City <br />Council and/or public prior to formal action. <br />RECOMMENDATION <br />Review and discuss the tentative agreement between the Livermore-Pleasanton Fire <br />Department Joint Powers Authority and Intemational Association of Firefighters, Local <br />1974. The proposed resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute the MOU is <br />attached and will be included on the agenda for the September 4, 2007 meeting for <br />Council adoption. <br />
