As I am sure you are aware, to become effective, this agreement must be <br />approved by the City Council in public session. <br /> <br />On March 25, 2009, I had the opportunity to speak with the collective representatives of all of <br />the bargaining units representing employees of the City of Redwood City. At that time, I <br />shared the City's current financial difficulties and managemenfs plan to address them. <br />As I made clear at that time, the City was not asking any or all of the bargaining units to re- <br />open their respective contracts. The City fully acknowledges each of those agreements to <br />be final and binding on the parties. However, after our discussion and recognizing the <br />current financial difficulties facing the City, the bargaining unit representatives each agreed <br />to place before their membership the question of whether a majority of the membership <br />would agree to a general freeze on their respective Salary Plans. <br /> <br />EXC:l~:U.J2NCE <br /> <br />~NT'E(~'RnY <br /> <br />CRE:t>..T1VtTY <br /> <br />On or about April 1 0, 2009, you advised me that a majority of the POA membership had <br />agreed to a general freeze on their Salary Plan to be effective September 01, 2009 and <br />continuing up to August 31, 2010; however. the membership also desired to have the ending <br />date of the existing MOU extended to August 31,2012 with all other terms and conditions <br />set forth in the MOU remaining in effect until such date. Having now met with the City <br />Council of the City of Redwood City, I now confirm that the City is amenable to such an <br />accord. As soon as reasonably possible, this Side Letter Agreement between the City of <br />Redwood City and POA will be placed on an agenda of the City Council. <br /> <br />If the above is consistent with your understanding, please execute below this Side Letter <br />Agreement. <br /> <br />Acknowledged, Agreed and Accepted: <br /> <br />Police Officers Association <br /> <br />City of Redwood City <br /> <br />By: 4~~ ~ <br />Greg Farley, P A ' <br /> <br />By: <br />Robert Bell, HR Director <br /> <br />Dated: I.{" v-t - tJ 7 <br /> <br />Dated: <br /> <br />Human Resources Department <br />www.redwoodcity.orgJhr <br /> <br />1017 Mlddlefield Road <br />650-780-7281 <br /> <br />Redwood City, CA 94063 <br />Job Hotline 650-780--7282 <br />
