BUSINESS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
YAKIMA, WASHINGTON
AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No.
For Meeting of Feb. 17, 2004
ITEM TITLE: Consideration of a Resolution Ratifying a Memorandum of
Understanding Between the Yakima Police Patrolman's Association
and the City of Yakima Regarding Shift Schedules and Differential
Pay.
SUBMITTED BY: Chief Sam Granato, Police Department
CONTACT PERSON/TELEPHONE: Chief Sam Granato - 575-6211
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The Police Department and the Yakima Police Patrolman's Association (YPPA) are
currently negotiating a new contract for 2004 & 2005. Part of those negotiations includes a
change in shift hours and schedules, the addition of shift differential pay, and the upgrade
of one police officers position to a sergeant. These changes will enable the Department to
have officers working static shifts and hours, with the same sergeant, for a period of one
year. This allows a squad of officers to work with the same sergeant each day instead of
having officers working for multiple supervisors throughout the week. This will greatly
increase the ability of the officers and the sergeants to build teams, improve performance,
and form a cohesive structure that will improve supervision and overall field effectiveness.
The cost of the shift differential pay and the position upgrade is approximately $52,000 a
year. This cost will be a component of the final YPPA contract settlement, which is still
under negotiations. It is unknown when final contract settlement will occur; it is therefore
preferable to move forward and adopt this resolution and Memorandum of Understanding
at this time so the shift plan may be immediately placed into effect.
