THIRD 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 Third Amendment to the RPVEA MOU 2017-
20 is entered into this 17th day of July, 2018,by and between the CITY and RPVEA. This Third
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 and
related First and Second Amendments remaining the same.
In January 2018, the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) introduced a new geographic area sample
for the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) 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 Third Amendment adopts revised language for Section B (Retirement Health
Savings Account) of Article VI (Restricted Fringe Benefits) of the RPVEA MOU 2017-20,
effective upon adoption by the City Council. This Third Amendment addresses the change in
CPI geographic area upon which the RPVEA MOU pegged its Cost of Living Adjustment
(COLA) for increases in City Contributions to retirement health savings account of represented
employees and changes the CPI reference from Los Angeles-Riverside-Orange County, CA to
Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim,CA.
The revised Article VI Section B set forth below replaces and supersedes the existing Article VI
Section B. of the RPVEA MOU 2017-20.
B. Retirement Health Savings Account
Employees shall be enrolled in the retirement health savings account upon completion of
probation. The Account is funded via a one percent (1%) employee deduction and a
CITY contribution. The CITY contribution effective the first full pay period in July 2017
for FY 2017-18 shall be increased to sixty ($60) per pay period (previously the City paid
$56.59 per pay period). For 2018-19 and 2019-20, City shall continue the practice of
increasing City annual contribution effective the first full pay period in July by the
percentage increase in the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U) in
the * - " * - • `=« M; - . Los Angeles-Long Beach-Anaheim
geographic area for the twelve (12) month period ending March 2018 and March 2019,
respectively.
