COUNCIL AGENDA REPORT
MEETING DATE: 09/15/2020
ITEM NO: 7
DESK ITEM
DATE: September 15, 2020
TO: Mayor and Town Council
FROM: Laurel Prevetti, Town Manager
SUBJECT: Approve an Addendum to the Police Officers’ Association Memorandum of
Understanding and Revisions to the Police Classifications within the
Temporary Classification Plan
REMARKS:
A Council Member asked staff to answer the question raised in the public comments
(Attachment 4). The question and staff’s response are below.
“Please re-confirm that the total fiscal 2021 salary and benefit cost arising from the 1% COLA
and a 2% one-time bonus for the POA is $169,346. If the on-going impact of the 1% adjustment
is $82,448, wouldn’t that suggest that the 2% bonus cost is $164,896 which is almost the entire
amount of the stated cost of $169,346.”
No, the FY 2020/21 and FY 2021/22 impact of the 1% increase and the 2% non-PERSable bonus
is illustrated in the below table.
The proportion of the salary and the benefit impact are different between the two fiscal years
due to the non-PERSable nature of the one-time bonus. The FY 2020/21 salary impact of
$142,122 consists of the impact of 1% increases ($51,693) and the 2% non-PERSable bonus
($90,429). The exclusion of benefits from the 2% one-time bonus is the reason the relationship
between years is not linear as the question suggests.
