SUBJECT: SIDE LETTER OF AGREEMENT TO THE MEMORANDUM OF
UNDERSTANDING (MOU) BETWEEN THE MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEE
RELATIONS REPRESENTATIVE (MERR) AND THE PALM SPRINGS
POLICE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION (PSPMA)
FROM: David H. Ready, City Manager
SUMMARY
Staff is requesting that the City Council approve a Side Letter of Agreement with the
Police Management Unit which would provide a $50 Cell Phone Allowance in lieu of
receiving a City provided cell phone effective February 1, 2007.
RECOMMENDATION:
Adopt Minute Order No. approving " A SIDE LETTER OF AGREEMENT OF THE
JULY 1 2005 TO JUNE 30, 2007 MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING (MOU)
BETWEEN THE MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEE RELATIONS REPRESENTATIVE (MERR)
AND THE PALM SPRINGS POLICE MANAGEMENT ASSOCIATION (PSPMA)
REPRESENTING THE POLICE MANAGEMENT UNIT
STAFF ANALYSIS:
The City's representatives and PSPMA representatives have reached agreement
wherein PSPMA members will return their City provided cell phones and will receive a
$50.00/month Cell Phone Allowance instead. This will ease the City of the responsibility
of maintaining an account, reviewing monthly billing statements and obtaining and
replacing City issued cell phones. This will also create one consistent Cell Phone Policy
for the Palm Springs Police Department since the Palm Springs Police Association
(PSPMA) negotiated and implemented this change effective February 1, 2007 for
members of their Unit.
