As I am sure you are aware, to become effective. this agreement <br />must be 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 management's 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 />On or about April 10, 2009, you advised me that a majority of the RCMEA membership had <br />agreed to a general freeze on their Salary Plan to be effective October 1, 2009 and <br />continuing up to September 30. 2010; however. the membership also desired to have the <br />ending date of the existing MOU extended to September 30,2010 with all other terms and <br />conditions set forth in the MOU remaining in effect until such date. Having now met with the <br />City 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 RCMEA 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 />Redwood City Management Employee Association <br /> <br />City of Redwood City <br /> <br />By: ~~ ~/ <br />Elizabeth Meeks.
