Recommended Action
RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends the City Council adopt Resolution No. 18-0146, adopting the attached Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the Manhattan Beach Part-Time Employee Association (MBPTEA), appropriate Prop A Funds and approve transfer from General Fund. City Council adoption will authorize the City Manager to execute the MOU and take the appropriate actions necessary to carry out its implementation.
Body
FISCAL IMPLICATIONS:
The fiscal impacts for the MOU are $32,628.08 which requires an additional budget appropriation in Fiscal Year 2018-2019 budget from the Proposition A Fund where the expenditures occur. Since the Proposition A Fund operates at a deficit, any budgetary changes also require an additional transfer from the General Fund unreserved fund balance. The amount includes salary increases and the associated retirement costs. Staff recommends the City Council appropriate $32,628.08 from the Proposition A Fund and approve the transfer from the Unreserved General Fund balance to relieve the deficit. Staff is currently working on a funding plan to purchase additional Prop A Funds with the goal of reimbursing the Unreserved General Fund balance for this transaction.
BACKGROUND:
On February 16, 2018, the MBPTEA was recognized by the City to represent the Part-Time Transportation Services Operator unit.

The Transportation Services Operator positions last received a salary increase in June 2010.
