City of Garden Grove
INTER-DEPARTMENT MEMORANDUM
| To: | Scott C. Stiles
| From: | Laura J. Stover
| | Dept.: | City Manager
| Dept.: | Human Resources
| | Subject: | Adoption of a Resolution approving the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Garden Grove and the Garden Grove Fire Management Association. (Action Item) | Date: | 1/23/2018 |
|
| | | | | | | | OBJECTIVE
To obtain City Council approval for a new one (1) year Memorandum of Understanding (hereinafter “MOU”) with the Garden Grove Fire Management Association (hereinafter “Association”). |
| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND
The City met and conferred with the Association and agreed to a one year MOU that will expire on December 31, 2018. The prior MOU expired on December 31, 2017. |
| | | | | | | | DISCUSSION
The MOU provides for an increase to the City’s cafeteria benefits in January 2018, and a new four percent (4%) H step added to the top of the salary range for Fire Battalion Chief and Fire Division Chief. These provisions provide the same benefit to the Association members as has been provided to the rest of the city employees. The proposed Agreement was ratified by members of the Fire Management Association. |
| | | | | | | | FINANCIAL IMPACT
The new 4% H step will not add any cost to the City for Fiscal Year 2017/18 (FY 17/18), as no member of the association is currently at top step of the salary range. The estimated cost for FY 17/18 for the increase in the City’s cafeteria contributions is $1,200. The cost was appropriated in the FY 17/18 adopted budget. |
| | | | | | | | RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council:
- Adopt the attached Resolution to approve the Memorandum of Understanding between the Garden Grove Fire Management Association and the City of Garden Grove; and
- Approve the attached Salary Schedule.
