File Number: 16-647 Conclusion During negotiations, Human Resources staff conducted a total compensation study of police officers and sergeants as compared to neighboring public agencies. The study, which included the cities of Alameda, Berkeley, Fremont, Hayward, Livermore, Pleasanton, and Union City, revealed San Leandro to be, on average, 5% below the median. In addition to these comparable cities, it was also noted that the City of Oakland recently approved a Police Officers’ Association agreement in which represented employees will receive a total 19.5% increase over a four-year agreement. Salary increases are also reflected among other public safety personnel such as Alameda County firefighters, who received a 4.33% increase effective January 1, 2016. As the City of San Leandro competes with other agencies for the same pool of police officer applicants, it is important to ensure that the City is able to continue attracting and recruiting well-qualified, career-oriented employees. Staff recommends approval of the proposed agreement, which will aide in keeping the City of San Leandro competitive in the current labor market. Previous Action On March 18, 2013, by Resolution No. 2013-042, the City Council approved the prior SLPOA MOU for the period January 1, 2013 through December 31, 2015. Fiscal Impacts The tentative agreement will on average result in a budgetary impact to the City’s General Fund of approximately $2.5 million per year throughout the four-year life of the MOU. The financial impact is approximately $28,800 in FY 2015-16; $1,246,785 in FY 2016-17; $2,499,935 in FY 2017-18; $3,819,935 in FY 2018-19; and $2,341,480 in FY 2019-20 ending December 31, 2019.
