2019. The City Council may choose from the following options to fund the additional cost.

2. Make no appropriation adjustment at this time, with the understanding that staff may have
to return to the City Council for a future appropriation adjustment for the Police
Department to fully operate through June 30, 2019.
DISCUSSION
On February 5, 2019, the City Council approved the SAPOA MOU. However, the City Council
did not approve an appropriation adjustment to fund the additional cost of salary and benefit
increases provided by the MOU, which staff had estimated to be $4.3 million for the current fiscal
year 2018-19 ($4.2 million in the General Fund). The City Council continued the item to
February 19th
If the City Council does not approve the appropriation adjustment, staff will continue to pay the
demands of the Police Department, including the SAPOA MOU. If the existing Police
Department appropriation is not sufficient to fund full operations through June 30, 2019, staff will
return to City Council before June 30th with an appropriation adjustment.
