body
Background:
A “me too” clause was adopted by the bargaining units listed above at the May 19, 2020, and June 16, 2020, City Council Meetings. The side letters were a result of the Operating Engineers (OE3) bargaining unit members receiving a 1% higher PERSable benefit than all the other bargaining units who had signed and ratified their agreements before OE3. This benefit was equivalent to a 3% COLA for members of OE3 while all other units received 2%. Due to the “me too” clause, all remaining bargaining unit received an additional 1% COLA retroactive back to July 1, 2019 (R2020-85).
All bargaining units agreed to a 2% COLA effective July 1, 2020. To ease any misinterpretation and clarify the language of the clause, the side letters attached outline that all bargaining units received the 3% COLA on July 1, 2019 and a 2% COLA on July 1, 2020.
Fiscal Impact:
This was budgeted and there is no additional fiscal impact to the City
