MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
Between
The City of Ukiah
And
Department Head Unit
This Memorandum of Understanding ("MOU") is entered into by and between the City of Ukiah
("City") and the Department Head Unit ("Unit") (collectively referred to as "Parties"). Having
met and conferred in accordance with Government Code section 3500, et. seq., the City and the
Unit agrees to amend, add to, and clarify the Parties' current MOU as follows:
1. TERM
The term of this MOU shall be from July 10, 2022 through September 18, 2025.
2. SALARY
Year 1: Effective retro to the first full pay period in July 2022, all unit members will
receive a 5% increase to base salary.
Year 2: Effective the first full pay period following September 19, 2023, all unit members
shall receive a 3% increase to base salary.
Year 3: Effective the first full pay period following September 19,2024, all classifications
will receive a 3% salary increase to base salary, 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 2022/2023. 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-Hayward figures for April, to a maximum of

specifically addressed in this MOU, shall continue in effect and shall not be affected by the
terms of this MOU.
The value or availability of the benefits provided in the MOU 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 concerning the value of such benefits to Unit
members or how they will be taxed or otherwise treated by other agencies or departments.
The City's obligations under this MOU are limited to the direct cost of providing the salary
and benefits as described in the MOU. The City shall have no additional financial
