FISCAL ANALYSIS
The total additional cost increase to adopt the proposed MOUs for the various groups is $495,000. The cost breakdown per bargaining group is follows:
PMG: There is no additional fiscal impact associated with the adoption of this agreement. Anticipated salary initiative ordinance increases are included within the City’s budget.
Finance will review the City’s salary savings during the FY 2020/2021 Mid-Year process to determine if there is enough savings to offset the $495K increase. If a budget amendment is needed it will be requested at that time.
