TO: Honorable Mayor and City Council
FROM: Anely Williams, Interim Human Resources Director
Henry Chen, Interim Administrative Services Director
SUBJECT: RESOLUTION NO. 7584 AMENDING THE FISCAL YEAR 2024-25
GENERAL FUND OPERATING BUDGET AUTHORIZING A BUDGET
APPROPRIATION IN THE AMOUNT OF $1,575,000 FOR COSTS
ASSOCIATED WITH ADOPTION OF THE ARCADIA POLICE CIVILIAN
EMPLOYEES’ ASSOCIATION, THE ARCADIA POLICE OFFICERS’
ASSOCIATION, AND THE ARCADIA PUBLIC WORKS EMPLOYEES’
ASSOCIATION MEMORANDUMS OF UNDERSTANDING
CEQA: Not a Project
Recommendation: Adopt
SUMMARY
On July 2, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution Nos. 7581, 7582, and 7583, which
established terms of employment and compensation for the period of July 1, 2024,
through June 30, 2027, for City employees represented by the Arcadia Police Civilian
Employees’ Association (“APCEA”), the Arcadia Police Officers’ Association (“APOA”),
and the Arcadia Public Works Employees’ Association (“APWEA”), respectively. Based
upon City Council’s approval of the three Memorandums of Understanding (“MOU”),
adoption of Resolution No. 7584 is necessary to authorize a supplemental budget
appropriation for associated costs, in the amount of $1,575,000, for Fiscal Year 2024-25.
DISCUSSION
Negotiations with the APCEA and APOA began in February 2024, while negotiations with
the APWEA began in April 2024. During the course of negotiations, the City’s negotiating
team and the groups’ negotiating teams held a combined total of 23 meetings. Ultimately,
a tentative agreement was reached that is beneficial to both the City and the bargaining
groups. The MOUs were brought forth and approved by the City Council on July 2, 2024.
The newly-adopted APCEA, APOA, and APWEA MOUs are in effect from July 1, 2024,
through June 30, 2027, which reflect package modifications that address salary and other
compensation, health insurance, leave banks and service credit, clean-up language to
comply with State law, and miscellaneous items specific to each Association. Following

approval of these MOUs, a supplemental budget appropriation is necessary to account
for associated costs in the current Fiscal Year 2024-25 adopted budget.
ENVIRONMENTAL ANALYSIS
The proposed action does not constitute a project under the California Environmental
Quality Act (“CEQA”), based on Section 15061(b)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines, as it can
be seen with certainty that it will have no impact on the environment.
FISCAL IMPACT
The costs associated with the approved APCEA, APOA, and APWEA MOUs were not
projected into the Fiscal Year 2024-25 Budget, since such costs were uncertain at the
time of budget adoption. However, the adopted Fiscal Year 2024-25 General Fund
Operating Budget is projected to end the year with a surplus. Accounting for the projected
surplus, the FY 2024-25 budget will be able to manage the amended budget appropriation
of $1,575,000, resulting from the three successor Memorandums. The costs for FY 2025-
26 and 2026-27 will be incorporated into subsequent budgets.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the City Council determine that this action does not constitute a
project under the California Environmental Quality Act (“CEQA”); and adopt Resolution
No. 7584 amending the Fiscal Year 2024-25 General Fund Operating Budget authorizing
a supplemental budget appropriation in the amount of $1,575,000 for costs associated
with adoption of the Arcadia Police Civilian Employees’ Association, the Arcadia Police
Officers’ Association, and the Arcadia Public Works Employees’ Association
Memorandums of Understanding.

Understanding (“MOU”) between the City and the respective groups; and
