IV. BACKGROUND
The previous Memorandum of Understandings between the City of Carson and all four full time employee bargaining units expired on June 30, 2021. The parties began negotiating the successor MOUs in August 2022, reaching Tentative Agreements that were approved by City Council on October 18, 2022, which also directed the parties to prepare successor MOUs consistent with the terms of the Tentative Agreements.
The successor MOUs were prepared as directed and were brought to City Council for approval on November 1, 2022, through Resolution Nos. 22-224. All four resolutions were approved on the abovementioned date by City Council. Staff was directed by City Council to obtain signatures in final form of the MOUs. City Council approved two of the final executed MOUs on May 23, 2023. At this time, staff is presenting one of the remaining two final executed MOUs for City Council approval.
The labor relations representatives of the City and the bargaining units have prepared successor MOUs for the period of 2021-24 that is consistent with the previous Full-Time MOUs and the deal points approved by the parties and City Council as part of the Tentative Agreements for Successor Memorandums of Understanding. The final MOU with the respective salary tables is being presented to City Council for filing and posting to the City’s website.
V. FISCAL IMPACT
It is anticipated that there will be minimal fiscal impacts as benefit enhancements resulting from the MOUs are contingent upon leave accrual rates and associated benefits in each bargaining unit. Sufficient funding has been included in the current Fiscal Year and Fiscal Year 2023-2024 salaries and benefits accounts for all departments.
