| 20250414 | LA County | Alhambra | City Council | Item | 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.
