Agenda Item: 3®

Subject: Memoranda of Understanding with SMART T -D, formerly the United
Transportation Union, Local 1785 and Revised Executive Pay Plan
Recommended Action
Staff recommends that the City Council:
1. Adopt the attached resolution accepting the tentative agreement and
authorizing the City Manager to execute the Memoranda of Understanding
with SMART T -D, formerly the United Transportation Union, Local 1785.
2. Adopt the attached Resolution authorizing the City Manager to execute a

Executive Summary
Negotiations for FY2014 -15 successor MOU's have resulted in a total of nine new
agreements with employee bargaining units. The terms of the tentative agreement with
SMART T -D, formerly the United Transportation Union, Local 1785 are summarized
below. Revisions are also being proposed to the Executive Pay Plan. The total cost of
the negotiated changes is approximately $321,000 for FY 2014 -15. The budget impact
of the majority of these changes was included in the FY 2015 -16 through FY 2019 -20
Five Year Financial Forecast for the Big Blue Bus Fund.

Background
On June 30, 2014 the MOU's with nine City bargaining groups expired. Negotiations for
successor MOD's commenced this spring and, to date, have resulted in new
agreements that have been ratified by eight of the groups. Five agreements were
approved on August 26, 2014 and three additional tentative agreements were approved
on November 25, 2014. Ratification by SMART T -D of this tentative agreement is
scheduled for the week of February 23, 2015. In the event the SMART T -D does not
ratify the tentative agreement, staff will present an amended resolution and tentative
agreement, if reached, at a future date.
There is no expiration date for the Executive Pay Plan (EPP); terms are amended as
needed and typically occur as changes are made to agreements with other employee
bargaining units. EPP salaries were set for a two year period through Fiscal Year 2014-
2015.
Discussion
SMART T -D
A three year agreement has been negotiated with SMART T -D.
The significant negotiated changes include the following:
® The top step salary should be increased approximately 1.5% per year and are
set as follows:
Effective October 1, 2014: $28.00
Effective July 1, 2015: $28.42
Effective July 1, 2016: $28.85
® Implementation of the vacation cash -out program.
Other changes include: increasing the Step 1 salary from 60% to 65% of Step 6,
implementation of a voucher program for employee uniforms, additional pay for training
instructors, implementation of an incentive program for attendance and safety,
modifications to Union Business language, and non - substantive miscellaneous
language modifications.

Executive Pay Plan
The Executive Pay Plan is being revised to include language specifying the City's
practice of compensating employees covered under the EPP for serving in a higher -
level classification and revise the language to the existing vacation cash -out program.
The revisions also include clarification to the retirement benefit language specifying the
retirement plan formula, employee contributions, and any employer paid member
contributions. While EPP covered employees did not receive a COLA for Fiscal Year
2014 -2015, equity adjustments were necessary for the salaries of the Police and Fire
Chiefs. These adjustments were a result of the salary changes given to other public
safety employees under the chiefs' supervision in order to maintain an appropriate
salary differential. The adjustment to the Police Chief's salary was approved by City
Council on October 28, 2014.
The first resolution is attached to this staff report for Council consideration. The
resolution accepts the tentative agreement reached with SMART T -D and authorizes
the City Manager to execute the memoranda of understanding (MOU) and the revised
Executive Pay Plan.
Also attached for Council approval is a comprehensive salary schedule establishing the
new salary ranges for all classifications represented in SMART T -D and for the EPP in
compliance with CalPERS requirements.

Forecast.
