DECISIO\' bIAKER CONFLICT
Staff has reviewed the decision contemplated by this action and has determined that it is not
site specific and consequently the 600-foot rule found in California Code of Regulations
section 18704.2(a)(1) is not applicable to this decision.
CURRENT YEAR FISCAL Il~IPACT
The fiscal year 2013-14 implementation costs related to salary changes reflected in the MOU
with i\~4/PROF/SEIU and the Compensation Summary for the unrepresented employees is
estimated at 5641,250 for all funds. The estimated annualized (ongoing) costs related to these
changes total 5791,000 for all funds. The fiscal year 20li-14 estimated cost to the General
Fund total S448,907; the estimated annualized (ongoing) costs total 5666,000.
The fiscal year 20li-14 General Fund budget includes approximately 5646;000 in the Non-
Departmental budget that was set-aside for employee compensation as part of the development

Page 6 of 9
of the budget. An additional $600,000 is being rolled over from fiscal year 2012-13 to fiscal
year 20li-14 per Council direction for employee compensation. Staff is requesting to transfer
funds from Non-Departmental to the impacted General Fund departments to address the
changes to employee compensation. These transfers result in no net change to the General
Fund. The table below outlines the transfer amounts by department.

Non-Departmental $ (448,907)

Positions impacted by these changes are budgeted in the General Fund and other funds,
including Development Services Fund and Police Grants Fund. Unlike the General Fund,
funds were not set aside as part of the development of the fiscal year 2013-14 budget to address
employee compensation for other funds since these funds have available reserves or revenues
to offset these costs. With a couple of exceptions, staff is recommending appropriations from
the respective available fund balance of each fund to address the changes to employee
compensation. The appropriations for the Police Grants fund will be offset by increased
reimbursement revenues. The table below reflects tihe fiscal year 2013-14 fiscal impact to the
other funds and the appropriation amount.

Total Other Funds S 186.281
The estimated fiscal impact to the Advanced Life Support Program Fund and Redevelopment
Obligation Retirement Fund is 53;230 and 52,830 respectively. The impact to these funds will
be addressed through an intra-fund transfer therefore no appropriation is requested at this time.
The i\4OU and Compensation Summary also reflect changes to flex allotments (medical
benefits) and professional enrichment. The fiscal impact of the changes to flex allotments
cannot be determined at this time since the cost for medical insurance premiums for calendar
year 2014 have not been determined yet. It is expected that freezing flex allotments will result
in ravines but the acrual amount will depend on the number of employees with single coverage
and the increase to flex allotments. No budget changes are proposed at this time relating to
flex allotments. The fiscal year 2013-14 budget includes SI5,000 for professional enrichment
for D4IvI/PROF/SEIU; with the adoption of the new MOU this amount will increase to S32,000
for a net increase of S17,000. Staff is recommendine that Professional Enrichment also be
increased for the Confidential group b}~ S780 and for the unrepresented A4id Managers and
Professionals by 511,600. There are sufficient funds in the 1v'on-Departmental Personnel
Services budget to address these increased costs.
During the development of the fiscal year 2013-14 budget; Council directed staff to identify
additional funds for employee compensation. Staff projected that there would be one-time
savings in the fiscal year 2012-L3 budget of approximately S600,000 that could be used to
address employee compensation. Staff is requesting that Council authorize the establishment
of an administrative encumbrance in the fiscal year 2012-li General Fund budget that will
allow the carryover of 5600;000 in expenditures savings to fiscal year 20li-14. These funds
will be transferred from various General Fund departments to the Personnel Services category
of the Non-Departmental budget. As the City reaches agreement with other bargaining groups,
staff will rerurn to Council to then transfer these funds from the Non-Departmental budget to
the impacted General Fund departments.
ONGOI~`G FISCAL Ii\'iPACT
As noted above, the annualized implementation costs related to the MOU with
MMIPROF/SEN and the Compensation Summary for the unrepresented employees is
estimated at 5791,000 for all funds based on year 1 compensation changes. Costs related to the
implementation of the second year of the contract will depend on furure negotiations.
