DISCUSSION:
The current agreement with the Marine Safety Officers Association expired on
December 31, 1997. The terms of the agreement were extended through the current
time with the mutual consent of the City and the Association while negotiations were
going on for a new agreement.
The City and the Association reached tentative agreement on a new contract earlier this
year. The new agreement will cover the period from January 1, 1998 through June 30,
1999. Following are the significant conditions of this agreement:
1. Compensation Adjustment
A. During the term of this agreement unit members shall have their base
pay increased by a percentage equivalent to that granted Fire Unit
employees.
B. For the period from July 1, 1997 to April 24, 1998, Marine Safety
Lieutenants shall receive a one time payment equal to 10% of base pay
and paid overtime.
C. Effective April 25, 1998, the pay differential between Marine Safety
Supervisor and Marine Safety Lieutenant shall be increased from 15%
to 25%.
2. Overtime:
During the term of this agreement, Unit employees shall have the option of
requesting compensatory time off for all overtime worked, including
training time.

3. Bereavement Leave:
11
Grandparents have been added to the qualifying eligible immediate family
members for purposes of bereavement leave. This is consistent with the
provisions of agreements with other City employees.
4. Lifeguard IV's:
The classification of Lifeguard IV has been added to this Bargaining Unit.
This classification is not eligible for Education Incentive Pay, City provided
health insurance, or leave time (flex leave, vacation leave, sick leave, and
holiday leave).
5. Re -openers:
The City and Association agree during the term of this agreement to reopen
negotiations on the following topics upon the request of either or both
parties:
A. Long Term Disability Insurance.
B. Insurance, if significant changes to insurance plans are made with
other employee groups.
C. Revised Personnel Rules and Regulations.
D. Lifeguard IV classification benefits if these positions are not made full-
time through the budget process for the period commencing July 1,
1998.
ANALYSIS:
Depending on future negotiations with Fire Unit employees, it is estimated that the cost
of this contract, for the eighteen month period from January 1, 1998 to June 30, 1999 is
approximately $50,000.
RECOMMENDATION:
It is recommended that the City Council approve the attached Memorandum of
Understanding between the City and the Marine Safety Officers Association which
covers the period from January 1, 1998 through June 30, 1999.
