7. RESOLUTION APPROVING A REVISED COMPREHENSIVE MEMORANDUM OF
UNDERSTANDING (MOU) WITH THE ALHAMBRA POLICE OFFICERS’
ASSOCIATION (APOA) – F2M25-2, R2M25-16, C87-16C, M2M25-42
Recruitments to fill vacancies in the position of Police Officer occur on a continuous basis.
In the past, City staff and APOA representatives have worked together in an effort to
proactively address recruitment and retention matters. Previously, from 2020 to 2023, the
City Council approved a temporary overhire of up to five (5) positions due to anticipated
retirements and lateral transfers at various ranks. Upon the expiration of the previously
agreed upon provision, City staff returned to budgeting two (2) overhires in the position of
Police Officer. Most recently, City staff was again informed of expected retirements and
lateral transfers within various ranks as a result of the impending retirements. City staff
and APOA representatives have met and conferred regarding the language proposed as
a temporary provision in the existing APOA Comprehensive MOU and have reached
agreement. Authorization to temporarily overhire by an additional two (2) Police Officers,
for a total of authorized overhire of four positions in Police Officer, will ensure the
Department’s staffing levels remains stable during this time of transition.
Recommended Action: City Council adopt Resolution No. R2M25-16 entitled: A
Resolution of the Alhambra City Council approving a Revised Comprehensive
Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Alhambra and the Alhambra Police
Officers’ Association that includes a provision for a temporary increase and overhire of
Police Officers for a limited duration within the existing MOU contract period; and, direct
staff to undertake the steps necessary to finalize Council’s action. (M2M25-42) |
