For valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby

International Union ("SEIU") do hereby agree to modify the current Memorandum
of Understanding ("MOU") between the City and SEIU as follows:
1. Article 7.H shall be amended to delay the 5% "Cost of Living Adjustment"
for all represented classifications effective 12/25/09 to instead be effective
on 6/25/10 as shown in amended Attachment 3.
2. Article 7.1 shall be amended to change December 25, 2009 to June 25,
2010.
3. Article 11 shall be amended to make New Year's Eve a full day paid

4. Article 14 shall be amended to add the following:
14.5 Furloughs
The following days shall be non-paid furlough days for employees
a. December 28, 2009
b. December 29, 2009
c. December 30, 2009
Employees are not eligible to use sick, vacation, compensatory time pay,
personal days, bereavement, jury duty or other paid leave during these
days. Employees in positions performing functions determined necessary
during this period as authorized by the City Manager shall work their
normal shift and instead take three (3) non-paid furlough days between
July 1, 2009 and June 30, 2010.
5. Article 24 shall be amended to add the following:
A layoff of one Public Works Inspector position shall take effect on July 1,
2009. The parties agree there shall be no additional loss of filled positions
represented by SEIU Local 620 due to layoff before June 30, 2010 unless
at any time during that period the City's FY 2009-10 General Fund Ending
Fund Balance is projected to be reduced by 30% or more from the FY
2008-09 actual General Fund Ending Fund Balance due to action by
State, County or Federal Government, an economic downturn in the local
economy, the impacts of a catastrophic event or natural disaster, or any
other unforeseen events outside the control of the City; or in the event the
City's FY 2009-10 General Fund revenues, excluding transfers, are
projected to be reduced 5% or more from the FY 2009-10 budgeted
amounts due to action by State, County or Federal Government, an
economic downturn in the local economy, or any other unforeseen events
outside the control of the City.
If any of these conditions occur, the Union shall be granted an opportunity
to meet and consult with the City to discuss proposed alternatives to
address the budget shortfall. If, in the judgment of the City, it becomes
necessary to make a reduction in force not possible through attrition,
temporary and permanent part-time employees will be subject to layoff
prior to permanent full-time employees within the same division or
department performing similar duties or tasks.
