Please disregard other email. <br />Dear Clerk of the Council, City Manager and City Attorney, <br />I would like to include the following questions below for the record and I would like to ask the, Staff, Mayor <br />and City Council to respond to these questions before the deliberations and vote is taken for item 65D. The <br />public deserves to have all these questions answered before the city council meeting tomorrow or before the <br />city council votes on this big fiscal item that can possibly lead the city into insolvency 18-24 months. <br />, 1100070 <br />Tentative Agreement Questions: <br />The POA membership and city council recently reached a tentative agreement over wages and benefits. On <br />Tuesday, the city council is expected to vote on the MOU. Can the city council reconsider this tentative <br />agreement? <br />-Is this tentative agreement set in stone? <br />-Does the city council have to approve the MOU in public? <br />-How many votes does the city council need to appropriate funds for this contract? <br />- What funding sources will the city use to pay for the MOU contract? Will it dip into the vacancy savings, <br />measure x funds? If the city is using these revenue sources to fund the raises, how does it plan on funding and <br />filling the current police officer funded vacancies(61)and the (50)unfunded vacancies ? <br />-How does this contract help the SAPD retain or recruit police officers? <br />-If the city council does not get a majority vote (5 votes) to authorize the expenditures for this agreed upon <br />contract what happens with the tentative agreement? <br />Recommended Action/ Staff Report Questions: <br />Is this a staff recommended action? <br />Is this a city council directed action ? <br />Would the city council be giving this directive if Measure X failed ? <br />How many raises has the POA received since 2011? <br />-Are the proposed raises only for 3 years ? <br />-The figures in the staff report only project out the costs of these raises through the 20/21 fiscal year. <br />-Has staff put together what the on-going costs are of these raises beyond 6/30/21 including pension costs and <br />compared those to the deficit projections previously provided during prior budget meetings? <br />
