REPORT To the Honorable Mayor and City Council From the City Manager October 1, 2018 SUBJECT Approval of amendments to the Memoranda of Understanding between the City and the International Association of Fire Fighters Local 2400, and between the City and the Redwood City Police Supervisors Association to conform to California Public Employees’ Retirement System reporting requirements. RECOMMENDATION Adopt a resolution approving side letters of agreement with the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) Local 2400 amending language in the 2013-2016 Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), and with the Redwood City Police Supervisors Association (PSA) to amend language in the 2015-2016 MOU to conform to California Public Employees’ Retirement System (CalPERS) reporting requirements. BACKGROUND The CalPERS Office of Audit Services performed a review of special compensation reported to CalPERS by the City of Redwood City between 2013-2016 for unit members of IAFF Local 2400, and for unit members of PSA in 2015-2016. These reviews noted that special compensation was not reported to the Board of Administration of the Public Employees’ Retirement System as required by Government Code 20636, and by California Code of Regulations 2 CCR 571, respectively. ANALYSIS The CalPERS Audit team required the City of Redwood City to retroactively report corrected holiday and uniform pay for IAFF unit members as earned instead of in lump sum, to amend the 2013-2016 IAFF MOU to clarify components of pay included in the calculation of holiday pay, and to amend the 2015-2016 PSA MOU to document pay reported in compliance with 2 CCR 571. In order to correct the CalPERS findings and be in compliance with State requirements, the City Council must adopt the resolution as presented with this Council report. Approving this resolution does not extend new 6.3.B. - Page 1
