SECOND AMENDMENT TO MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
between the City of Rancho Palos Verdes and the
Rancho Palos Verdes Employees Association
Expiring on June 30, 2020
Pursuant to the requirements of the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act ("MMBA," commencing at
California Government Code § 3500 et seq.) the City of Rancho Palos Verdes ("CITY") has
recognized the Rancho Palos Verdes Employees Association ("RPVEA") as the majority or
exclusive representative, as those terms are interchangeably used under the MMBA, for those
CITY employees in the bargaining unit defined as non-management, full-time employees in the
classifications listed on Exhibit "A" to the Memorandum of Understanding between the CITY
and RPVEA for the period through June 30, 2020 ("RPVEA MOU 2017-20"), adopted by
Resolution No. 2017-39 on May 16,2017. This Second Amendment to the RPVEA MOU 2017-
20 is entered into this 5th day of June, 2018, by and between the CITY and RPVEA. This
Second Amendment shall only become effective upon City Council adoption and makes only
those changes reflected herein below, all other terms and conditions of the RPVEA MOU 2017-
20 remaining the same.
In January 2018, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) introduced a new geographic area sample
for the Consumer Price Index (CPI)which removed Riverside, California from the Los Angeles-
Riverside-Orange County, CA geographic area sample. The new Core Based Statistical Area
covering the City is Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim, CA. Accordingly, this Second
Amendment adopts revised language for Subsection A (COLA) of Section IV (Regular
Compensation, Performance Evaluations) of the RPVEA MOU 2017-20, effective upon adoption
by the City Council. This Second Amendment addresses the change in CPI geographic area
upon which the RPVEA MOU pegged its Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) and changes the
CPI reference from Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County, CA to Los Angeles-Long Beach-
Anaheim, CA.
The revised Article I VA. set forth below replaces and supersedes the existing Article IVA. of the
RPVEA MOU2017-20.
IV. Regular Compensation,Performance Evaluations
Employee compensation effective the first full pay period in July 2017 is set forth in the
salary schedule of ranges in Exhibit "B" to this MOU. Each range spread is
approximately thirty percent(30%)from the bottom of the range to the top of the range.
A. COLA
Effective the first full pay period in July 2017, the City shall implement an across-the-
board salary cost of living ("COLA") increase of 2.5% for all represented employees as
set forth in Exhibit B Salary and Hourly Schedule attached hereto. Employees' salaries
have been increased correspondingly within their individual salary ranges to reflect the
COLA. The salary ranges will increase by the COLA amount.
