The City Council previously approved the Amended & Restated Tentative Agreement for a Successor Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Carson and the Association of Management Employees by Resolution No. 19-019 dated January 8, 2019, which also directed the parties to prepare a successor MOU consistent with the terms of the Amended Tentative Agreement.  (Exhibit No. 1.)

Body

III.                     ALTERNATIVES

None. The deal points of this successor MOU were previously approved by City Council in Resolution No. 18-081 dated June 19, 2018 and Resolution No. 19-019 dated January 8, 2019.

 

IV.                     BACKGROUND

The previous Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Carson and the Association of Management Employees and the Amendment No. 1 thereto, expired on December 31, 2016.  The parties began negotiating the successor MOU in September 2016, reaching a Tentative Agreement that was approved by City Council on June 19, 2018.  Thereafter, AME proposed a fifth (5th) year on the contract term of the successor MOU - in exchange for 1% COLA in year 3, fixed 3% COLAs in year 3 and 4 and a 3% COLA in year 5 - to be added to the Tentative Agreement. The City Council approved the Amended & Restated Tentative Agreement for a Successor Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Carson and the Association of Management Employees by Resolution No. 19-019 dated January 8, 2019, which also directed the parties to prepare a successor MOU consistent with the terms of the Amended Tentative Agreement. 

 

The labor relations representatives of the City and AME have prepared a successor AME MOU 2017-21 that is consistent with the previous AME MOU and the deal points approved by the parties and City Council as part of the Amended & Restated Tentative Agreement for a Successor Memorandum of Understanding Between the City of Carson and the Association of Management Employees by Resolution No. 19-019 dated January 8, 2019.  It is being presented to City Council through the attached Resolution No. 21-051 for approval, adoption, and implementation.

 

The City’s negotiating team appreciates the time and effort that the AME representatives have devoted to achieving this collective bargaining agreement.  Staff also thanks the AME membership for ratifying the Tentative Agreement and Amended Tentative Agreement deal points and for their patience during this unusually lengthy process to get an approved successor AME MOU.

 

V.                     FISCAL IMPACT

AME received 3% COLAs for FY 2018/19, 2019/20, and 2020/21 along with other enhanced and/reduced benefits, which have already been received in accordance with the adoption of the Amended & Restated Tentative Agreement for a Successor Memorandum of Understanding Between the City of Carson and the Association of Management Employees by Resolution No. 19-019 dated January 8, 2019.
