III. ALTERNATIVES None. These MOUS were successfully negotiated at the direction of the City Council. IV. BACKGROUND At the March 18, 2014 City Council meeting, staff presented the Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) for the AFSCME, CPSA and AME employee bargaining groups for Council approval. After the City Council approval of the MOUS, staff has identified and made some corrections to these MOUs. The corrections made include language that was unintentionally omitted as well as some typographical errors. Also, the AFSCME, CPSA and AME MOUs did not include the respective salary tables as they were in the process of being finalized. Lastly, the AFSCME MOU did not include the Table of Contents nor did it include the Designated Appropriate Units and the Occupational Groupings appendices. These corrections made to the MOUs do not amend the original agreements reached with the bargaining units; they only correct the identified oversights. The MOUs being presented tonight include the corrections to the oversights stated above and are now comprehensive. Upon City Council approval, these restated and comprehensive MOUs will rescind and replace the previous MOUS adopted by the City Council on March 18, 2014. These MOUS were previously ratified by the bargaining units and the bargaining unit board members were given the opportunity to review these restated MOUs and are in agreement with the corrections made by staff. V. FISCAL IMPACT None, the funding for employee salary and benefits as stipulated by the current Memoranda of Understanding has been included in the FY 2014/15 budget. VI. EXHIBITS 1.
