Exhibit "A"
SIDE LETTER OF AGREEMENT
MODIFICATION TO MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
For valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby
acknowledged, the City of Arroyo Grande ("City") and the Arroyo Grande Police
Officers' Association ("AGPOA") do hereby agree to modify the current Memorandum of
Understanding ("MOU") between the City and AGPOA as follows:
1. Article 29. Standby Status, shall be amended to add the following:
Section C.
Sworn full time employees assigned to the investigations function will be placed
on standby on a rotational schedule as determined by the Police Chief, or his/her
designee. Normally, the standby assignment shall be for a period of one week.
The standby assignment and compensation does not apply to employees that
are temporarily assigned to assist regularly assigned investigations personnel.
Standby is defined as that circumstance which requires an employee to: 1) be
ready to respond immediately to a call for service; 2) be readily available at all
hours by telephone or other agreed upon communication equipment; 3) refrain
from activities which might impair his/her assigned duties upon call; 4) and
remain within a geographical area that provides for a physical response time not
to exceed forty-five (45) minutes. The parties agree that employees on standby,
as defined in this paragraph, are "waiting to be engaged."
The parties acknowledge that while on standby, employees may have to engage
in phone calls or other de minimus response activity. Phone calls or other
responses that are beyond de minimus, but do not require the employee to report
to duty are compensable time. Employees that physically respond to call outs
are entitled to callback pay as defined in Article 17. The parties agree that
employees responding while on standby will be given the option to flex their
schedules so as to avoid overtime whenever possible.
Sworn full time employees assigned to the investigations function shall receive
an additional 2.5% of base salary as compensation for standby assignment.
