OF ORIGIN: Police EXHIBIT: DEPT. HEAD APPROVAL: Chief Brian Asmus Clothing and Equipment MOU EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: No BUDGETED: N/A SUMMARY STATEMENT A request has been made by a majority vote of the bargaining unit to enter into an MOU for the remainder of the CBA contract period. (December 31, 2016). This MOU would become effective for the final year of the agreement (2016). The change is in the clothing and equipment section of the agreement. The bargaining unit members would like to change the language back to the language in a previous contract which states: Existing Officers will receive a $900.00 annual uniform allowance, $450.00 of which will be paid on or before February 28 th, and the remaining $450.00 will be paid on or before June 30 each year. The proposed change does not change the financial commitment by the city. The proposed MOU will add efficiency on how the funds are distributed by the city. The MOU does not impact other parts of the CBA. RECOMMENDED ACTION 1. Staff recommends approving the proposed MOU for the remainder of the existing bargaining agreement. September 29, 2015 Clothing and Equipment MOU Brian Asmus, Police Chief Liberty Lake Police Department 23127 E. Mission Ave. Liberty Lake, WA 99019 Dear Chief Asmus, The Union is writing this MOU in order to make changes to the current process outlined in Article 11 of the Collective Bargaining Agreement regarding the reimbursement of monies for Clothing and Equipment. The current practice requires the city to reimburse Officers for purchases made during the calendar year up to $900.00. The Union would like to propose changing back to the old language in the prior Collective Bargaining Agreement which stated; Existing Officers will receive a $900.00 annual uniform allowance, $450.00 of which will be paid on or before February 28, and the remaining $450.00 will be paid on or before June 30 each year. This MOU will remain in effect for the life of the current agreement and will be incorporated into the successor agreement unless otherwise negotiated by the parties. ______________________ ______________________ Joseph Kuhn Steve Peterson Business Representative Mayor, City of Liberty Lake 1 Introduction of Upcoming Agenda Items  DRAFT CITY COUNCIL ADVANCED AGENDAS For Planning Discussion Purposes Only As of OCTOBER 14, 2015 Please note: This is a work in progress; items are tentative November 3, 2015 DUE Wed, October 28 1.
