Subject: Approval of MOU with Police Officers Association for 2023 Wages
_____________________________________________________________________
RECOMMENDED ACTION
MOTION TO approve MOU with Police Officers Association for 2023 Wages.
OVERVIEW
The City completed a compensation study in early 2023 to better understand market
conditions citywide. There was a market gap for police officer compensation and due to
the tight labor market for qualified police officers regionally, staff are recommending a
wage adjustment retroactive to September 10, 2023. This is consistent with the MOU
previously approved for Police Sergeants.
The wage structure being proposed reduces the number of steps from 13 to 9. All
officers will be moved to the step that corresponds with their years of service as of
9/10/2023.
The estimated budget impact from this change is $47,000. Due to other revenues being
higher than expected and, staff is comfortable with this budget impact for 2023.
