STAFF REPORT
AGENDA TITLE: ADOPT RESOLUTION TO APPROVE AMENDMENT NO. 1 TO THE
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN THE CITY OF LA QUINTA AND
THE LA QUINTA CITY EMPLOYEES' ASSOCIATION
RECOMMENDATION
Adopt a Resolution to approve Amendment No. 1 to the Memorandum of Understanding
between the City and the La Quinta City Employees' Association.
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
• The current Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between the City of La Quinta
(City) and the La Quinta City Employees' Association (Association) provides for a
meet and confer reopener to determine annual World at Work salary schedule
adjustments.
• The City and the Association met and discussed Fiscal Year 2023/24 World at
Work salary schedule adjustments and designated paid holidays.
• Amendment No. 1 (Amendment) is a result of the reopener approving a 2.7%
World at Work salary schedule adjustment for Fiscal Year 2023/24 and observing
Christmas Eve as a designated paid holiday in 2023.
FISCAL IMPACT
The 2023/24 cost to implement the 2.7% World at Work salary schedule adjustment and
holiday pay for represented membership would be approximately $160,000. Funds are
available in the Contingency for Staffing account (101-1007-50115).
BACKGROUND/ANALYSIS
The City and the Association entered into a five-year MOU in August 2022. The current
MOU provides for a meet and confer reopener to discuss and determine annual World at
Work salary schedule adjustments which are determined by the World at Work Salary
Budget survey report that reflected a 2.7% salary schedule adjustment.
Staff met with the Association to discuss the annual World at Work reopener and
designated paid holidays for 2023. The Association accepted the 2.7% World at Work
597
salary schedule adjustment effective July 1, 2023 and the recognition of Christmas Eve
as a designated paid holiday to be observed on Friday, December 22, 2023.
Except as modified by Amendment No. 1, the MOU remains in full force and effect
according to its terms.
ALTERNATIVES
The City and Association have worked in the true spirit of cooperation to serve the needs
of both parties equitably. Approval of Amendment No. 1 will conclude a successful labor
negotiation process. Staff does not recommend any alternatives.
