1. PREAMBLE / ARTICLE 1
This Memorandum of Understanding is entered into pursuant to the Meyers-Millias-Brown Act
(California Government Code Section 3500, et. Seq.) and applicable ordinances and
resolutions of the City of Ukiah between the City of Ukiah (hereinafter "City") and the Ukiah
Police Officers Association (hereinafter "Police Unit"). As a result of meet and confer
sessions, the City and Police Unit have agreed to the following understandings.
Should a subject be covered in both the MOU and a City policy or regulation, the
Memorandum of Understanding shall prevail and all relevant portions of the subject in the City
policy shall not be followed and shall not be applicable for any reason.
2. TERM
The term of this Agreement shall be three (3) years, effective September 19, 2018, through
September 18, 2021.
3. SALARY
Year 1: 4% increase to salary effective retroactively to the first full pay period following
September 19, 2018.
Year 2: 3% increase to base salary effective the first full pay period following September 19,
2019.
Year 3: 3% increase to base salary effective the first full pay period following September 19,
2020, unless the local economic benchmark — consisting of total revenue collected for property
tax, sales tax and transient occupancy tax — falls below the combined total for the past audited
Fiscal Year of 2018/19. Should the audited revenues fall below the benchmark, the increase
will revert to the CPI calculation of the average of U.S. City and SF -Oakland -San Jose figures
for April, to a maximum of 3%. In no case shall this result in a decrease in compensation.
4. COST SHARING AGREEMENT
For FY 2013-14 and FY2014-15, the Unit agreed to concessions and the City agreed to restore
and refund to bargaining unit members an amount equivalent to a portion of revenue if actual
revenues exceed adopted budgeted revenues in the General Fund according to the formula
listed in the sections below. Given that the formula is based on fiscal year audited revenues,
the provisions of this section shall remain in full effect beyond the two year term of this
agreement until the 2014-15 audit is completed and available for the purposes of implementing
this section of the MOU. The total salary concession for this Unit on an annual basis is
$217,753.
Ukiah Police Officers Association Memorandum of Understanding
This provision provides for the restoration and refund of the concession amount (or a portion
thereof) should the total audited revenues of each fiscal year corresponding to the term of this
agreement exceed the adopted budgeted revenues of the General Fund for Fiscal year 2013-
14 by $100,000 or more as follows:
• The City shall restore an amount equivalent to a percentage calculated by taking the
difference in audited revenue for each corresponding year of this MOU and the base
year revenue adopted in the FY 2013-14 General Fund Budget and dividing the
absolute value by the adopted General Fund FY 2013-14 identified deficit. This shall
occur the first full pay period following the City Council's receipt of the audit.
EXAMPLE:
(Audited GF Revenue' - Base Year Adopted FY 13-14 GF Revenue2) = "% of Concession Returned"
Adopted FY 2013-14 GF Deficit3
1 Audited GF Revenue for the corresponding agreement year
2 Base Year GF Revenue as identified in the adopted FY 13-14 Budget ($14,375,555), Page ES -6
3 GF Deficit as adopted in FY 13-14 Budget ($978,894)
• The restoration shall be applied at an amount equivalent to the calculated percentage
multiplied to the base salary of each Unit member up to an amount that shall not exceed
the concession amount. The concession restoration amount will be applied to flex
dollars.
• Furthermore, the City shall refund in a lump sum payment to each Unit member the
concession amount in part retained by the City over each corresponding fiscal year of
the term of this MOU if audited revenues exceed the base year revenue. The lump sum
payment shall be equal to the calculated percentage from the formula above multiplied
by the base salary received during the same term.
• In accordance with CaIPERS law, this payment will not be reported as "pay rate" or
"special compensation" and will not be reported to CaIPERS for the purposes of pension
calculations.
This language reflects the current 2013-14 Fiscal year City of Ukiah budget methodology. If
the City changes the way revenue is accounted, the Unit will be notified in writing and the City
shall meet and confer with the Unit to develop equivalent methodology for determining General
Fund revenue.
Audited revenue is subject to review by the Unit and City staff. Any discrepancies will be
identified by the Unit and shall be submitted to the City. Discrepancies identified by the Unit
will be reviewed by the City and shall by applied for the purposes of this provision as agreed to
by the City and Unit.
Ukiah Police Officers Association Memorandum of Understanding
The audited revenues are typically found on "Schedule 1- General Fund Schedule of
Revenues, Expenditures and Changes in Fund Balances — Budget and Actual for the Year
Ended June 30, " in the Audited Financial Statements.
Year 1 — Example 1 (9/12 of a year, based on the 9/18/2013 MOU adoption date)
$14,456,000 - $14,376,000* = $80,000 = 0% Concession Restored
$978,894
" Rounded for purpose of illustration
Year 1 — Example 2
$14,876,000 - $14,376,000 = $500,000 = .5108 or 51.08% of concession
$978,894 Restored ($83,421)
Year 2 — Example 1
$14,436,000 - $14,376,000 = $60,000 = 0% Concession Restored
$978,894
Year 2 — Example 2
$15,076,000 - $14,376,000 = $700,000
$978,894
= .7151 or 71.51 % ($155,715) of Concession
Restored, which includes the 51.08% in the

provision of the agreement alleged to have been violated, the circumstances
involved, the decision rendered at the informal conference and the specific
remedy sought.
Within the specified time limits, the grievant or the immediate supervisor may
request a personal conference.

appeal the decision on the appropriate form to the Department Head within ten
(10) days.
This statement shall include a copy of the original grievance, the decision
rendered, and a clear, concise statement of the reasons for the appeal.
The Department Head shall communicate his/her decision within ten (10) days
after receiving the appeal. Either the grievant or the Department Head may
request a personal conference within the above time limits. If the Department
Head does not respond within the time limits, the grievant may appeal to the next
level.
3. Level III:

appeal the decision on the appropriate form to the Personnel Officer within ten
(10) days.

appeal the decision in writing within ten (10) days to the City Manager. The City
Manager alone has the power to render a final and binding determination of a
grievance, subject to right of established judicial review.
a. Any party to a grievance may, at any step in the formal level, request
one other person to serve as a conferee and to be present during the
proceeding.
b. A decision rendered at any step in these procedures becomes final
unless appealed within the time limits specified.
c. Time limits given in these procedures may be modified by written
agreement of the parties involved.
d. If the same complaint or substantially the same complaint is made by
more than one employee against one party, only one employee on behalf
of himself/herself and the other complainants, may process the grievance
or complaint through the grievance procedure. Names of all aggrieved
parties shall appear on all documents related to the processing of the
grievance. This provision may be waived by all parties concerned.
e. Any unit member may present grievances in accordance with this
Article without intervention of the unit, so long as the adjustment is not
inconsistent with the terms of this agreement.
f. All documents resulting from the processing of a grievance shall be kept
in a separate grievance file and will not be kept in an employee's
personnel file.

membership for the first time on or after January 1, 2013, and who has no prior
membership in any California public retirement system; b) A new hire who is brought
Ukiah Police Officers Association Memorandum of Understanding
into CaIPERS membership for the first time on or after January 1, 2013, and who is not
eligible for reciprocity with another California public retirement system; c) A member
who first established CaIPERS membership prior to January 1, 2013, and who is rehired
by a different CaIPERS employer after a break in service greater than six months.
B. PERS Member Contribution For "Classic" Members
The Police Officers Association agrees to incrementally pick up the PERS member
contribution, consisting of 10% for sworn officers and 8% for Dispatchers and CSO's,
over the three year term of this Agreement. Upon adoption of this agreement, the City
agrees to implement "Employer Paid Member Contributions (EPMC)" by Resolution of
the City Council for all "classic" PERS members (hired prior to January 1, 2013) to
include the provisions of IRC 414(h)(2) for pre-tax contributions. The City agrees to
offset the PERS member contribution deduction with a corresponding increase to base
salary in an effort to make this transition from City paid contribution to Employer Paid
Member Contribution cost neutral to the City. Unit members hired after January 1, 2013
("New" PERS members subject to the Public Employees' Pension Reform Act, or
PEPRA) already pay the required PERS member contribution under PEPRA, and are
prohibited from EPMC, but would receive the offsetting increase to base salary received
by their respective Unit classifications.
The Police Captain classification already pays EPMC, and would therefore not be
subject to this incremental pick-up of the member contribution, nor the offsetting
increases to base salary.
Upon adoption of this Agreement, the City will submit the required Resolution for
Employer Paid Member Contributions (EPMC), as adopted by the City Council, and will
initiate the PERS payroll deductions and associated increase to base salary effective
the first full pay period following PERS approval in Year 1, and the first full pay period
following September 19th in Years 2 and 3 of the contract, as follows:

do so, the City will contribute 85% of the REMIF EPO 500, PPO 500, and HSA medical
plans, including Dental and Vision plans. For employees electing the REMIF EPO 250
plan, the City will contribute equivalent to the 85% portion for the EPO 500 plan.
After July 1, 2018, Unit members not currently enrolled in the City's health may enroll in
the City health plans during the first or any Open Enrollment period, or qualifying event,
during the term of this agreement. Unit members not currently enrolled in City health
will only be eligible for the 85% contribution plan, as described above, based on actual

contribution plan as described above, based upon actual enrollments.
For incumbent employees electing to do so, the City will continue to pay the rates for
the REMIF health, dental and vision premiums of all Unit members, and will pay up to
50% of the insured dependent's health, dental and vision premiums for the number of
family members insured.
Those employees who choose not to participate in the City's health plan must show
proof of health insurance on another plan. An employee who is covered under a non -
City health plan cannot enter the REMIF plan until the annual open enrollment period, or
until a qualifying event occurs.
B. Retiree Health Insurance
A Unit member retiring with ten or more years of City of Ukiah service shall have the
opportunity to purchase REMIF insurance coverage if offered by the carrier and subject
to the carrier's requirements. The City must receive the monthly premium amount from
the retiree prior to the carrier's billing due date. The City is not responsible for notifying
the retiree when a payment is due. In the event the retiree does not make the monthly
payment on time, the City shall drop the retiree from the insurance program. Once a
retiree has discontinued coverage, she/he shall no longer be eligible to continue
coverage at a later date. By participating, retirees agree to indemnify and hold the City
Ukiah Police Officers Association Memorandum of Understanding
harmless against all claims arising as a result of purchased coverage or the
discontinuance thereof.
C. Retiree Medical Insurance Requirements
The minimum years of City service required to continue participation in the City's

E. Police Captain Flex Dollars
The Police Captain currently participates in the City's flex plan system, subject to the
rules and procedures of the City's flex plan system. Effective the first full pay period
following July 1, 2016, in order to maintain an appropriate salary differential between the
Police Captain and the Police Lieutenant salary classifications, the City agrees to add
the Police Captain's $1,052/month flex dollars to the Police Captain classification's
monthly base salary, adjusted to $811.08/month to be applied on a cost -neutral basis to
the City. The Police Captain will no longer be eligible to receive flex dollars in addition
to base salary.

Ukiah Police Officers Association Memorandum of Understanding
11. PAID LEAVE
A. Employee Sick Leave
Sick leave benefits are to be used for medical and dental appointments and absences
due to mental or physical illness, or personal injury only. These benefits are not to be
used for any other purpose. Every regular, full time employee will accrue one sick day
for each month of service. Part-time employees working year round and at least 20
hours per week are eligible for pro -rated sick leave hours based upon the number of
hours worked, and these benefits are non -accruing.
Sick leave usage is computed in one-half hour increments. One half-hour increments
shall be computed by rounding to zero for Tess than 15 minutes and rounding to 30
minutes for 15 minutes or more. During or after an absence due to illness, you may be
required to furnish a doctor's written statement indicating the nature of your illness and
your expected recovery time. If you have been ill for longer than five (5) consecutive
days or suffered an acute injury, you may be asked to obtain a doctor's release before
returning to work.
When all sick leave benefits have been used, you may use your accrued vacation
benefits. If you have used both the sick and vacation accrual, you may submit a
request to the City Manager for up to a thirty day unpaid leave of absence in special
consideration for extended serious illness or injury. (Also refer to Section 4.05.5, Family
and medical leave Act, which may also apply.) Sick leave benefits will not be
accumulated during unpaid leaves of absence.
There is no maximum on the accumulation of unused sick leave. Upon retirement from
City service, your unused sick leave will be converted to additional service credits at the
rate of .004 years of service credit for each day of unused sick leave.
If you are going to be absent, you must notify your supervisor as soon as possible of
your inability to work, normally no later than the start of your shift.
Sick leave is a privilege. Violations or abuse will result in disciplinary action.
B. Family Sick Leave
Full-time employees may use up to six (6) of their accrued sick leave days per calendar
year to attend to an illness of a child (biological, foster, adopted, stepchild, legal ward
or a child of a person standing in loco parentis), parent (biological, foster, adoptive,
stepparent, or legal guardian) or spouse.
C. Holidays
The following shall be the officially observed City holidays for this Unit:
Ukiah Police Officers Association Memorandum of Understanding
1. New Year's Day
2. Martin Luther King Day
3. President's Day
4. Memorial Day
5. Independence Day
6. Labor Day
7. Columbus Day
8. Veteran's Day
9. Thanksgiving Day
10. Day after Thanksgiving
11. Christmas Eve
12. Christmas Day
13. New Year's Eve
Holiday Overtime Pay: Holiday overtime pay will be paid to Unit members who work the
"actual" holiday as observed by the calendar, as opposed to the day which the holiday is
observed by the City of Ukiah.
For example, if Christmas Day falls on a Sunday, but the City observes the holiday on a
Monday, only those employees working on Sunday would receive holiday overtime pay
due to working on the actual holiday.
The City pays overtime to unit members who work on Police Unit holidays at the rate of
2 1/2 times the member's regular hourly rate of pay ("holiday overtime pay"). Each
holiday is the 24-hour period that the City has approved for Police Unit holidays. All
Unit members will receive holiday overtime pay for all hours in which they work during
the "24-hour holiday period", from midnight to midnight on the City recognized holiday.
Unit members not working the holiday will continue to receive 8 hours of holiday pay at
straight time.
D. Vacation Leave
Vacations are designed to provide time away from work for rest and relaxation.
Therefore, you are urged to use vacation benefits each year that they accrue. The
maximum accrual is twice the annual rate. Once this maximum is reached, no
additional time will be accrued until you have used enough of your vacation to stay
within the maximum. As you use your time, you will accrue additional hours until the
maximum is once again reached.
During vacation, salary and other benefits will continue without interruption. If a holiday
occurs during a vacation period, that day will not be charged to vacation time. If an
employee becomes sick during his/her vacation, he/she may charge accrued sick leave
Ukiah Police Officers Association Memorandum of Understanding
credits for the days of illness. Vacation accrual will be suspended during unpaid leaves
of absence.
Vacation requests must be submitted in written form and approved by your supervisor in
advance, with due regards to the needs of your Department. No vacation will be
granted until the time is actually accrued.
Employees who terminate their employment with the City will be paid for any unused
accrued vacation. Salary will not be paid in lieu of time off work due to any other type of
paid leave, except as otherwise allowed by this MOU.
Vacation is earned and accrued hourly each pay period according to the following

personnel policies. The Director of Public Safety must approve such excess accruals
and provide written notice of his approval to the Personnel Department.

two (2) days additional paid bereavement leave. This leave shall not be charged to sick
leave.

of the employee, or any person who has served as a surrogate parent of the employee
or of the employee's spouse.
12. UNPAID LEAVE
You may request an unpaid leave of absence for periods of up to thirty days. Any unpaid
leave may be granted with approval of the City Manager. In deciding whether to grant the
request the City Manager may consider the reason for the leave (ex: extend pregnancy leave
beyond disability; extended illness due to injury where accumulated sick and vacation leave,
CTO and any other accrued paid leave have been used), the department's work load, and the
availability of qualified staff to handle the work load.
Ukiah Police Officers Association Memorandum of Understanding
If you are seeking an unpaid leave, you must submit a written request to your supervisor,
stating the reason for and duration of the leave. Sick or vacation accrual, retirement, uniform
allowance, medical coverage or related benefits are not paid or credited while an employee is
on unpaid leave of absence. You will begin to receive these benefits again when you return to
work. You may keep your medical insurance in effect by pre -paying the full monthly premium.
An employee who takes a personal leave of 30 days or less will be returned to his/her present
position or to a substantially similar position. If no position is available due to staff reduction,
the employee will be placed on layoff. Employees who do not report to work on the next
working day, without prior authorization of the City, may be administratively terminated upon
expiration of the leave.

including all conditions affecting wages, hours, and working conditions that are not
Ukiah Police Officers Association Memorandum of Understanding
specifically addressed in this Memorandum of Understanding, shall continue in effect
and shall not be affected by the terms of this Memorandum of Understanding.
The value or availability of the benefits provided in the Memorandum of Understanding
as originally worded or as amended from time to time may depend on their tax
treatment by the state or federal government or the decisions of other government
agencies or departments, such as, but not limited to, the Public Employees Retirement
System. The City will endeavor to obtain the most favorable treatment legally possible
from these other governmental entities. However, the City makes no representation

otherwise treated by other agencies or departments. The City's obligations under this
Memorandum of Understanding are limited to the direct cost of providing the salary and
benefits as described in the Memorandum of Understanding. The City shall have no
additional financial obligation, even if the tax or other treatment of such salary or
benefits by other agencies or departments reduces or eliminates their value to the
employee.
