PRIOR ACTION/VOTE
On June 20, 2023, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 23-4673, Approving a Tentative Agreement for a Successor Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Murrieta and the Murrieta Police Officers Association for the Period July 1, 2023 through June 30, 2026 (Vote: 4-0-1).
CITY COUNCIL GOAL
Maintain a high performing organization that values fiscal sustainability, transparency, accountability and organizational efficiency.
BACKGROUND
Most employees of the City of Murrieta (City) are represented by an employee organization and governed by a negotiated Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) setting forth compensation, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment. Through collective bargaining, the City periodically negotiates with the respective employee organizations to establish updated compensation, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment for represented employees, including tentative agreements for successor MOUs and the successor MOUs affecting such compensation, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment. All such items must be voted on and passed by a majority of the membership of each affected employee organization, known as ratification, and subsequently approved by the City Council before becoming effective. Once approved by the City Council, the terms of tentative agreements for successor MOUs are required to be memorialized in the successor MOU and brought back to the City Council for final approval per Section 3505.1 of the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA).
The previous MOU between the City and the Murrieta Police Officers Association (MPOA or Association), adopted by City Council Resolution No. 21-4418, covered the period July 1, 2021, through June 30, 2023. MPOA currently represents 97 sworn public safety City employees, including Police Officers, Police Detectives, and Police Sergeants.
The City and the Association met and conferred in good faith in 2023 and came to a Tentative Agreement on a fair and equitable package of total compensation for a successor MPOA MOU for the period July 1, 2023, through June 30, 2026. The members of the MPOA voted to ratify the Tentative Agreement, and the City Council approved the Tentative Agreement on June 20, 2023, per Resolution No. 23-4673.
Pursuant to MMBA section 3505.1, the labor representatives of the City and MPOA subsequently met, conferred, and mutually prepared the written successor MPOA MOU 2023-26 in accordance with the Tentative Agreement deal points approved by the City Council on June 20, 2023. Staff has prepared a Resolution (Attachment 1), which includes a fully executed copy of the successor MPOA MOU for the period July 1, 2023 - June 30, 2026, which remains subject to final City Council approval, adoption, and implementation.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact for the MPOA MOU 2023-26 three (3) year term, Fiscal Years (FY) 2023/24, 2024/25, and 2025/26, is $9,068,864. A budget adjustment for FY 2023/24 and FY 2024/25 was included in the mid-year budget update this year based upon the previously approved MPOA MOU 2023-26 Tentative Agreement. The fiscal impact for FY 2025/26 will be included in the next proposed biennial budget in 2025.
