APPROVING LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE CITY
OF ALAMEDA AND THE ALAMEDA FIRE CHIEFS ASSOCIATION TO
CLARIFY RETENTION/LONGEVITY AND MANAGEMENT INCENTIVE
PAY MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING LANGUAGE FOR
CALPERS COMPENSATION COMPLIANCE.
WHEREAS, the City of Alameda (the "City") is committed to ensuring compliance
with CaIPERS regulations concerning compensation for its employees; and
WHEREAS, CaIPERS initiated a service retirement review for a Division Chief on
January 25, 2024, which identified ambiguities in the Retention/Longevity Pay and
Management Incentive Pay language within the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)
with the Alameda Fire Chiefs Association (AFCA); and
WHEREAS, the review found that the existing MOU language did not adequately
describe the compounding nature of Retention/Longevity Pay, resulting in a reduction of
final compensation calculations; and
WHEREAS, the Management Incentive Pay did not meet the California Code of
Regulations requirements, leading to its exclusion from final compensation; and
WHEREAS, the City, in collaboration with CaIPERS and AFCA, has drafted a
Letter of Understanding to clarify the provisions of the MOU concerning
Retention/Longevity Pay and Management Incentive Pay; and
WHEREAS, formal adoption of this updated language is required to request a new
final compensation review for the Division Chief under the clarified provisions.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Council of the City of Alameda
hereby approves the Letter of Understanding between the City of Alameda and the
Alameda Fire Chiefs Association to clarify Retention/Longevity Pay and Management
Incentive Pay MOU language for CaIPERS compensation compliance.
