Recommendation

SUMMARY
Continuing Service Pay was added to Local 1909 Fire and Fire Officers MOU effective July 1, 2018. However, this provision was inadvertently missed in subsequent contract agreements between the City and HFCA. The City and HFCA agree that this omission was unintentional. To correct this omission, Section 12.03 Longevity Pay was added to HFCA MOU effective July 1, 2024, through June 30, 2029. This side-letter amends section 12.03 to be retroactive to June 25, 2018 (the pay period that includes July 1, 2018).
As a result, the City and the HFCA have met and conferred on the matter and entered into this Side Letter of Agreement to clarify MOU language with respect to the Longevity Pay provision to ensure continuity with agreements entered into with Local 1909 Fire and Fire Officers.
