Employees must retain at least 80 hours (2 full weeks) of sick leave after the cash out. BEREAVEMENT LEAVE Currently, employees are entitled to 3 regularly scheduled working days of paid bereavement leave in the event of a death in the immediate family of the employee, as defined by the agreement (or 4 days in the event the funeral is 300 or more miles from the City). The Summary increases paid bereavement leave to 40 hours or five working days, whichever is higher. Bereavement leave may be taken intermittently, but must be completed within three (3) months of the family member’s date of death. In addition, the Summary provides that an employee may request bereavement leave to attend the funeral of a close relation not listed herein, subject to the approval of the City Manager or designee. PRIORITY REGISTRATION CITY RECREATION PROGRAM The Summary incorporates an existing arrangement which provides employees with a discount and priority registration to enroll their children in qualifying child-based recreation programs offered by the City’s Parks, Recreation and Community Services Department. FISCAL IMPACT The proposed 3% cost-of-living for year one is included in the current adopted FY 2024-25 adopted budget. Other recommended salary and benefit changes throughout the term of the new agreement with RCMEA and as stated in the Summary of Compensation and Terms of Employment for the Confidential Employee Group represents a maximum estimated fiscal impact of approximately $2,722,542. When staff was developing the FY 2024-25 budget, an estimated annual amount of $806,286 was used for RCMEA and Confidential Employee salary increases. At this time, staff is requesting a budget amendment for FY 2024-25 increasing General Fund expenditures by $567,174. For subsequent fiscal years, projected costs of recommended salary and benefits will be built into the development of future recommended budgets.
