TBD based on consultant class and comp study. If the class and comp study is not
completed prior to the execution of an agreement with the city, pay negotiations will open
within 90 days of the completion of the study pursuant to Exhibit A of Resolution 77-22.
Goal and Objective #2: Fully integrated collective bargaining agreement
At the conclusion of the 2023 collective bargaining process, the CPLA would like a fully
integrated collective bargaining agreement (CBA). Initially, the CBA would last one year
with future agreements potentially having a longer duration. The CPLA envisions this CBA
being similar in structure to the 2017 CPLA CBA signed by the city, with changes in
content.
Goal and Objective #3: Deferred compensation match
The CPLA is requesting the city contribute matching deferred compensation contributions
of CPLA members up to 2%. This match would remain a benefit for anyone achieving the
rank of Police Lieutenant or higher. Any person covered by the CPLA CBA demoted
below the rank of Lieutenant would be subject to the terms, conditions, and benefits of
any other CBA for which they would be covered (i.e. the CPOA CBA).
Goal and Objective #4: Post-employment health care
The CPLA requests the city agree to provide health care coverage for those employees
and their dependents who retire on or after July 1, 2023. The coverage will extend to
employees who retire at the rank of Lieutenant or higher, meeting normal service
requirements (i.e. 20 or 25 years of service depending on pension plan) or a
service-connected medical retirement. The health insurance coverage is to be
substantially the same as that currently provided for employees and their dependents.
Additionally, employees that retire will be required to pay the requisite health care
premium for such coverage, should they choose to continue such coverage.
Goal and Objective #5: Vacation accrual limits
The CPLA is requesting the removal of limits in our vacation accrual hours. The amount
accrued each pay cycle would not change and continue to be based upon service time.
Goal and Objective #6: Take home vehicles
The CPLA requests the city agree to assign new police vehicles to each Police
Lieutenant position. The vehicles should be designed and equipped with specifications
provided by the CPLA. While the CPLA understands the importance and difficulty in fleet
management, we believe it is as or more important to adequately equip members of the
police department for the duties of an assigned position. Members of the CPLA will
continue to have the option of a take home vehicle or receive a per month vehicle
allowance.
