Retirement

Our MEA MOU Contract was approved by the City Council Oct 10! Now in effect from July 1, 2006. The contract includes a 4% COLA, 16 additional personal leave hours, increased wage for giving training and more. COLA will be on your November 3rd paycheck.

The 4% COLA retroactive to July 1, 2006, and the 2.5% PERS employee reimbursement for the 2.7% @ 55 PERS Enhancement will both be implemented on the Nov 3, 2006 paycheck. Other economic enhancements to the MOU (i.e.., shift differential) will be implemented once the MOU has been finalized and signed by all parties.
