Backeround• The City Negotiations Team and Members of the San Bernardino City Fire Management Association (FMA) met to discuss ways the members could continue to assist with the City's financial deficit for the 2010-2011 and 2011-2012 fiscal years' budgets. As a result, FMA has agreed to employee concessions equaling approximately a ten percent (10%) reduction in salary and implementation of a second tier retirement formula (3% at 55) for new employees. Additionally, FMA agreed to reduce concession hours from six (6) hours of leave time per week to three (3) hours, which will provide additional savings to the City. It is recommended that the following actions be approved: • Fire Management employees will achieve the ten percent (10%) reduction by reducing the employer contribution for health care plans by $790.00 per month per employee effective September 1, 2010, as well as eliminate tie of 10% above highest group. Additionally, all Fire Management employees voluntarily turned in their City-paid cell phones,which provided additional savings for the City. • Effective January 1, 2011 the City of San Bernardino will amend the current PERS contract to provide a two-tier retirement benefit of 3% @ 55 for all newly hired employees in the group hired on or after January 1, 2011. In return for the above employee concessions, it is recommended that the following actions be adopted: ➢ Effective September 1, 2010 and continuing through June 30, 2012,all Fire Management employees shall accrue three(3)hours of leave time per week. This leave time shall have no expiration date or cash value. ➢ The City will amend the Post Employment Health Plan agreement to allow holiday hours to be included in calculations. The City and FMA agree that if the economy were to improve prior to June 30, 2012, the following "trigger" language would be followed: The City agrees to restore the ten percent (10%) employee concession prior to June 30, 2012 if sales tax, utility tax, and property tax totals restore to the FY 07- 08 levels or if the City of San Bernardino receives a Federal or State bailout or other windfall that can be applied to the General Fund with no limitations equal to or greater than the amount of savings achieved through the employee concessions. Financial Impact: This will result in a savings of$144,400 (FY 2010-11) and $144,400(FY 2011-12).
