File Number: 22-207 The San Leandro Management Organization ’s current Memorandum of Understanding was approved by the City Council for the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022. A side letter of agreement is proposed to amend the MOU, specifically changing the provisions for medical contribution, holidays, and long-term disability insurance. Analysis The City of San Leandro aims to offer competitive wages and benefits in a high -cost geographic labor market in order to retain and attract a dedicated, high -quality workforce to serve the community. In 2021, SLCEA and Confidential Employees agreed to forego a cost -of-living salary increase due to financial challenges anticipated by the COVID -19 pandemic. The last wage increase employees received was 3% effective January 1, 2020. Market competitiveness for recruitment and retention, and the Consumer Price Index increase were significant factors that contributed to the terms negotiated. The substantive terms of the proposed agreements are summarized for each bargaining unit or group below. San Leandro City Employees Association (SLCEA) ·A three-year term for the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2024. ·Wage adjustments of 6% effective January 1, 2022, 3.25% effective January 1, 2023, and 3.25% effective January 1, 2024. ·A comprehensive classification and compensation study for all bargaining unit classifications to be completed before the end of the contract. ·An increase in the City’s contribution towards medical and dental coverage. ·The addition of Juneteenth and Cesar Chavez as recognized holidays, and the elimination of one floating holiday. ·An increase in Long-Term Disability coverage from 40% to 66.67%. ·Equity adjustments to be incrementally implemented over the three -year term for the following agreed-upon classifications that were found to be significantly below market : Accountant I/II, Environmental Protection Specialist I /II/Supervisor, Librarian /Senior Librarian, Parks Supervisor, Plant Operator -in-Training/I/II/Lead/Supervisor, Recreation Supervisor I/II. Confidential Employees Group The Confidential Employees Group is not represented by a bargaining unit, but because they are similarly situated to SLCEA employees, Confidential employees have historically received the same term and provisions afforded to SLCEA. The major elements that would apply include the same three-year term, wage adjustments, medical contribution, holidays, and long -term disability insurance. San Leandro Management Organization (SLMO) The San Leandro Management Organization MOU is for the period January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2022. However, the medical contribution, holidays, and long -term disability provisions negotiated by SLCEA were offered by the City to SLMO to maintain uniformity city-wide. A side letter amending the SLMO MOU is proposed to extend these provisions to Page 2 City of San Leandro Printed on 3/30/2022
