PRIOR ACTION/VOTE
On October 1, 2019, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 19-4163, approving a Memorandum of Understanding with the Murrieta Supervisors’ Association for the period July 1, 2019 through June 30, 2022 (Vote: 4-0).
On July 11, 2022, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 22-4596, approving a Tentative Agreement for a Successor Memorandum of Understanding between the City and the Murrieta Supervisors’ Association covering the period July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2024 (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 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 wages, hours, and working conditions for represented employees, including tentative agreements for successor memoranda of understanding affecting compensation, benefits, and other terms and conditions of employment. All such items must be voted on by each employee organization’s membership, known as ratification, and subsequently approved by the City Council. Once approved by the City Council, the terms of tentative agreements for successor MOUs are then memorialized in the successor MOU and brought back to the City Council for final approval.
The previous MOU between the City and the Murrieta Supervisors’ Association (MSA or Association), adopted by City Council Resolution No. 19-4163, covered the period from
July 1, 2019, through June 30, 2022. MSA currently represents 35 non-sworn City employees in lead and supervisory classifications across the organization.
The City and the Association met and conferred in good faith in 2022 and came to a Tentative Agreement on a fair and equitable package of total compensation for a successor MSA MOU for the period of July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2024. The members of the MSA voted to ratify the Tentative Agreement, and the City Council approved the Tentative Agreement on July 11, 2022, per Resolution No. 22-4596.
Since that time, the labor representatives of the City and MSA have met and conferred, and mutually prepared a written successor MSA MOU, in accordance with the Tentative Agreement deal points approved by the City Council on July 11, 2022. Staff has prepared Resolution No. 23-4706 (Attachment 1), which includes a fully executed copy of the successor MSA MOU for the period of July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2024, and remains subject to final City Council approval, adoption, and implementation.
FISCAL IMPACT
The fiscal impact for the two (2) year term, Fiscal Year (FY) 2022/23 and FY 2023/24, is $1,066,249. A budget adjustment for FY 2022/23 was included in the Mid-Year budget update last year based upon the adoption of the Tentative Agreement by Resolution No. 22-4596. The fiscal impact for FY 2023/24 was included in the current biennial budget. There are no changes resulting from the adoption of the MSA MOU for the period July 1, 2022, through June 30, 2024.
