The Tentative Agreement regarding a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) between
the City of Newport Beach (City) and the Newport Beach Police Management Association
(NBPMA or Association) was presented at the City Council's June 14, 2022 regular
meeting to provide the City Council and the community an opportunity to consider the

Beach, California, Adopting a Memorandum of Understanding Between the City of

DISCUSSION:
The following discussion was provided, in part, with the June 14, 2022 staff report and is
included here for reference:
The NBPMA is an exclusively recognized bargaining unit representing the full-time police
lieutenant and police sergeant management classifications, for a total of 33 budgeted
positions.
Significant provisions of the Agreement between the City and the NBPMA include:
• Term of four years, from July 1, 2022 through June 30, 2026
• Wage adjustments
o July 2022
— 2.0%
o July 2023
— 2.0%
o July 2024
— 2.0%
o July 2025
— 2.0%
• City -paid short-term and long-term disability benefits
• Adjustments to compensation for members eligible to receive Special Leadership
Compensation
• Modifications to the cafeteria allowance structure and new member medical opt -
out benefit
• Amending the accrual rate and accrual cap to be consistent with the accrual rate
and accrual cap provided to unit members of the Newport Beach Police
Association for members with 25 years or more of service.
The City Council reviewed the Tentative Agreement and proposed MOU with the NBPMA
at the regular meeting of June 14, 2022, after which the costing information and proposed
revisions to the MOU were posted for public review on the City's website. A final version
of the successor MOU is being presented in accordance with Government Code §3505.1.
The total cost of the NBPMA MOU is estimated to be $1,988,950.
The Assistant Police Chief classification is included in the Key and Management
Compensation Plan as an Administrative Management — Safety position. According to
the Key and Management Compensation Plan, any cost -of -living adjustments for the
Assistant Police Chief classification are tied to the cost -of -living adjustments received by
Police Management Employees. The proposed cost -of -living adjustments to the Assistant
Police Chief classification salary ranges are shown in Attachment C and recommended
for adoption in Resolution No. 2022-44.

FISCAL IMPACT:
Since the effective date of the agreement is July 1, 2022, there is no fiscal impact during
FY 2021-22. Because this item is before the City Council following adoption of the
FY 2022-23 budget, staff has prepared a Budget Amendment for FY 2022-23 to
implement the terms of the agreement. Budget Amendment No. 23-005 is attached and
appropriates $177,877 to the FY 2022-23 budget. This amount is less than the total cost
of $221,488 shown in Attachment D primarily because the disability insurance premiums
can be paid from funds on hand during FY 2022-23. The total four-year cost of the NBPMA
MOU is estimated to be $1,988,950.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not
result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment)
and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no
potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
NOTICING:
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of
the meeting at which the City Council considers the item).

MOU overtime. The overtime compensation provided to all employees in the unit
shall be at the rate of time and one half (1.5) at the applicable (FLSA or MOU) rate

shall be considered time worked for MOU overtime calculation purposes. No
individual rights under the FLSA are waived by this provision.

meet and confer over elimination of constructive receipt. The parties

that liability will be the responsibility of the individual taxpayers
(employees).

the City with reasonable notice. Reasonable notice is defined as at least two (2)
weeks. If reasonable notice is provided, the employee's request may not be denied

request.

or paid time at their discretion.

be compensated for the actual time involved with a minimum of four (4)
hours paid at time and one-half the FLSA rate of pay. This minimum four

worked begins when the employee receives the call. Compensation for
hours worked ends when the employee has completed the time in court.

with less than twelve (12) hours notice shall receive a payment for one (1)
hour of straight time at the MOU overtime rate of pay.

D. Uniform Allowance
As permissible by law and subject to the provisions and limitations under the Public
Employees Retirement Law, including restrictions on reporting uniform allowance as
pensionable compensation for "non classic" members hired after January 1, 2013, the
City shall report biweekly the value of provided uniforms at One Thousand Three Hundred
Fifty Dollars ($1,350) per year, in accordance with Ca1PERS requirements. The parties
agree the reported value of uniforms is intended to reflect clothing such as pants, shirts,
jackets, and related attire and excludes health and safety related equipment.
Ca1PERS Reporting of Uniform Allowance - To the extent permitted by law, the City shall
report to CalPERS the uniform allowance for each classification as special compensation
in accordance with Title 2, California Code of Regulation, Section 571 (a)(5).
Notwithstanding the previous sentence, for "new members" as defined by the Public
Employees' Pension Reform Act of 2013, the uniform allowance will not be reported as
pensionable compensation to CalPERS.
E. Scholastic Achievement Pay
Sworn NBPMA members are entitled to additional compensation contingent upon
scholastic achievement ("Scholastic Achievement Pay").
Sworn NBPMA members may apply for increases pursuant to this Section when eligible
and scholastic achievement pay shall be included in the member's paycheck for the pay
period immediately after approval by the Chief of Police. It is the responsibility of the
NBPMA member to apply for Scholastic Achievement Pay. Approval of the member's
application shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and the member shall not be
entitled to receive Scholastic Achievement Pay prior to the date the application is
approved even though the member may have been eligible prior to approval.
NBPMA members shall receive Scholastic Achievement Pay regardless of years of
service and in accordance with the City's evaluation and approval process. The number
of units and/or degrees received from an accredited college or other approved institution
will be paid biweekly as follows:
60 Units 90 Units BA/BS MA/MS/JD
2% 3% 7% 8.5%
NBPMA MOU 2022-2026
5-17
The pays are not cumulative. For example, if a member is receiving seven percent (7%)
Scholastic Pay for a bachelor's degree and earns a master's degree, said member shall
earn a total of eight- and one-half percent (8.5%) for the higher -level master's degree,
not a total of fifteen and one-half percent (15.5%). Any unit members hired by the City
on and after September 12, 2012 shall be ineligible for any Scholastic Achievement Pay
based upon having obtained units only. Police Sergeants hired by the City before
September 12, 2012 can qualify for the pay above for having obtained either 60 or 90
units. Police Lieutenants hired by the City before September 12, 2012 can qualify for the
pay above for having obtained 90 units (but not 60 units).
The parties agree that to the extent permitted by law, the Scholastic Achievement Pay
in this section is special compensation and shall be reported to CalPERS as such

California Post Supervisory Leadership Institute ("SLI"), Post Command College, the FBI
National Academy or Executive Leadership Institute will receive biweekly payments of an
additional two percent (2%) of base pay. Effective the first pay period following July 1,
2023, SLC will be increased to three percent (3%) of base pay. Effective the first pay
period following July 1, 2024, SLC will be increased to four percent (4.0%) of base pay.
The parties agree that to the extent permitted by law, the Special Leadership
Compensation in this section is special compensation and shall be reported to CaIPERS
as such pursuant to Title 2 CCR, Section 571(a)(2) and 571.1(b)(2) Educational Incentive
Pay.
G. Longevity Pay
NBPMA members shall earn longevity pay based on the greater of their total continuous
years of full-time service with the City of Newport Beach, or their total full-time
employment as a sworn law enforcement officer, including up to a maximum of six (6)
months' time employed as a police recruit or similar classification in a police training
academy as follows and paid biweekly:
0
At least 12 years of service but less than 16 years of service 0.75%
At least 16 years of service but less than 20 years of service 1.50%
At least 20 years of service but less than 25 years of service 2.25%
At least 25 years of service and more 3.00%
NBPMA MOU 2022-2026
5-18
The parties agree that to the extent permitted by law, the longevity pay in this section is
special compensation and shall be reported to CaIPERS as such pursuant to Title 2 CCR,
Section 571(a)(1) and Section 571.1(b)(1) Longevity Pay.
H. July 4t"
The Police Department has the discretion to schedule any of its employees to work a
regular work day on July 4th, regardless of the day of the week or job assignment. This
may include modifying work schedules and/or days off according to deployment needs.
All unit members who actually work July 4th will be compensated at the FLSA rate, plus
premium pay equal to half (112) of the hours actually worked on that day. Employees will
be provided their regular number of days off for the month of July (unless otherwise
scheduled on an overtime basis), which will be selected/assigned according to the normal
practices of their particular work unit. Therefore, if an employee is required to work on
July 4 and it is not his/her regular work day, the employee will be scheduled to be off on
another day within the work period.
I. Bilingual Pay
Employees certified as bilingual (Spanish) shall be eligible to receive Two Hundred
Dollars ($200) per month (paid each pay period) in bilingual pay. The existing certification
process will confirm that employees are fluent at the street conversational level in
speaking, reading and writing Spanish. Employees certified shall receive bilingual pay the
first full pay period following certification.
Additional languages may be certified for compensation pursuant to this section by the
Chief of Police.
The parties agree that to the extent permitted by law, the Bilingual pay in this section is
special compensation and shall be reported to CalPERS as such pursuant to Title 2 CCR,
Section 571(a)(4) and 571.1(b)(3) Bilingual Premium.
J. Motorcycle Assignment
10
1. Employees assigned to work as motor officers are entitled to compensation for the
off -duty maintenance and servicing of their motorcycles. The Parties acknowledge
that the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA), which governs the entitlement to
compensation for off -duty motorcycle duties, entitles the Parties to agree to a
reasonable number of hours per month for such duties. The FLSA also allows the
Parties to agree on appropriate compensation for the performance of such off -duty
NBPMA MOU 2022-2026
5-19
motorcycle duties. It is the intent of the Parties through this Subsection (J) to fully
comply with the requirements of the FLSA and that such provisions do comply with
the FLSA.
2. The Chief of Police, at his or her sole discretion, shall determine the number of unit
positions assigned to motor officer duties. At any time this number may decrease
or increase depending on the decision of the Chief of Police.
3. Employees assigned as motor officers shall receive an additional six (6) hours of
straight time compensation per month, paid at one and one-half (1.5) times their
FLSA rate of pay. This pay is compensation for the off -duty maintenance and
servicing of the motorcycle. The Parties agree the additional compensation is for
the performance of off -duty work and does not meet the definition of compensation
earnable under Government Code Section 20636, and will therefore not be
reported to Ca/PERS.
SECTION 3. - Leaves
A. Flex Leave
1. NBPMA members shall accrue (prospectively) flex leave based on the greater
of their total continuous years of full-time service with the City of Newport
Beach, or their total full-time employment as a sworn law enforcement officer,
including up to a maximum of six (6) months of time employed as a police
recruit or similar classification in a police training academy. Flex time is accrued
while an employee is in paid status, including paid leave time.
The Flex Leave accrual rate and caps shall be:
Years of Continuous
Service

NBPMA MOU 2022-2026
5-20
12
2. The Flex leave program shall be administered as follows:
a. NBPMA members shall accrue three (3) months (i.e. 36.99 hours) of flex
leave (as provided in the chart in paragraph At above) upon completion of
three (3) months continuous employment with the Newport Beach Police
Department, provided however, this amount shall be reduced by any flex
leave time advanced during the first three (3) months of employment.
b. Members employed by the City prior to initiation of the flex leave program
have had then current accrued vacation time converted to flex leave on an
hour for hour basis with then current sick leave placed in a bank to be used
as provided in the City of Newport Beach Employee Policy Manual.
Members entitled to use sick leave pursuant to the Employee Policy Manual
must notify appropriate department personnel of their intention to access
the sick leave bank and, in the absence of notification, absences will be
charged to the member's flex leave account. Members who wish to convert
an absence from flex leave to sick leave must submit a written request to
the Chief of Police within twenty (20) days after the absence (20 days from
the last absence in the event the member was continuously absent for more
than one day) specifying the nature of the illness and the person notified of
the intent to use sick leave, or the reasons for the failure to notify appropriate
department personnel. The Chief of Police shall grant the request for
conversion if the member submits a written statement signed by his or her
attending physician confirming the illness and the Police Chief determines
that the member's failure to notify appropriate departmental personnel was
reasonable under the circumstances.
c. NBPMA members first hired by the City prior to July 1, 1996, shall be paid
for all flex leave that accrues in excess of the flex leave accrual threshold
(Flex Leave Spillover Pay). Flex Leave Spillover Pay will be paid at the
member's base hourly rate of pay. Effective during the first pay period of
January, 1998, NBPMA members who have not utilized at least eighty (80)
hours of flex leave during the prior calendar year shall not accrue flex leave
in excess of the Flex Leave Accrual Threshold and shall not be entitled to
Flex Leave Spillover Pay.
NBPMA members first hired, or rehired by the City subsequent to July 1,
1996, shall not be eligible for Flex Leave Spillover Pay and shall not be
entitled to accrue flex leave in excess of the Flex Leave Accrual Threshold.
NBPMA MOU 2022-2026
5-21
d. All requests for scheduled flex leave shall be submitted to appropriate
department personnel. Flex leave may be granted on an hourly basis. In no
event shall a member take or request flex leave in excess of the amount
accrued.
e. Members shall be paid for all accrued flex leave at their then current hourly
rate of pay upon termination of the employment relationship.
B. Holiday Time
NBPMA members shall accrue holiday in lieu time at the rate of ninety-six (96) hours per
fiscal year (July 1 through June 30th), and at the rate of three point seven (3.7) hours per
pay period.
Option 1 (Default): Unless otherwise irrevocably elected by the employee, holiday
compensation shall be paid in cash along with the employee's regular bi-weekly check.
The parties agree, to the extent permitted by law, the compensation in this section is
special compensation for those employees who are normally required to work on an
approved holiday because they work in positions that require scheduled staffing without
regard to holidays and shall be reported as such pursuant to Title 2 CCR, Section 571
(a)(5) and Section 571.1(b)(4) Holiday Pay.
Option 2: Within sixty (60) days of NBPMA membership, NBPMA members may
irrevocably elect to have all or any portion of the three point seven (3.7) hours of accrued
holiday compensation added to the member's flex leave bank on a bi-weekly basis in lieu
of a cash payment. Once holiday time is accrued to the member's flex leave bank, all
rules and opportunities concerning the flex leave program (described elsewhere in this
MOU and in the Employee Policy Manual) will apply (e.g. usage, maximum balance,
spillover, periodic payout, etc.). Pay for any time taken from the flex leave bank, and any
spillover pay or other payout for flex leave, will not be reported to Ca/PERS as special
compensation.
C. Bereavement Leave
Bereavement Leave shall be defined as the necessary absence from duty by an
employee because of the death or terminal illness in his/her immediate family. NBPMA
members shall be entitled to forty (40) hours of bereavement leave per incident (terminal
illness followed by death is considered one (1) incident). Leave hours need not be used
consecutively, but should occur in proximate time to the occurrence. Immediate family
shall mean an employee's father, mother, stepfather, stepmother, brother, sister,
13 NBPMA MOU 2022-2026
5-22
spouse/domestic partner, child, stepchild or grandparent, and the employee's
spouse/domestic partner's father, mother, brother, sister, child or grandparent. An
employee requesting bereavement leave shall notify his/her supervisor as soon as
possible of the need to take leave.
D. Leave Sellback
Employees shall have the option of converting accrued Flex Leave to cash on an hour for
hour basis subject to the following: On or before the pay period which includes December
15 of each calendar year, an employee may make an irrevocable election to cash out
accrued flex leave which will be earned in the following calendar year. The employee can
elect to receive the cash out in the pay period which includes June 30 and/or the pay
period which includes December 15 for those Flex Leave benefits that have been earned
during that portion of the year. In no event shall the flex leave balance be reduced below
one hundred and sixty (160) hours.
E. Scheduling of Medical Treatment for Industrial Injuries
14
1. Time spent by an employee receiving medical attention during the employee's
normal working hours is considered hours worked and compensable, when the
City or its representative schedules the appointment.
2. When an employee is temporarily disabled due to an industrial injury and is
unable to perform even limited duty in the workplace, all appointments, whether
arranged by the City or the employees, shall be considered as occurring during
normal working hours. The employee shall not be entitled to any additional
compensation, regardless of the employee's regular work schedule or the type
of compensation currently received, except as otherwise required by law.
3. When an employee has been released to either full or limited duty and has
returned to the workplace, time spent receiving ongoing medical treatment,
such as physical therapy or follow-up visits that are not scheduled by the City,
is not considered hours worked and therefore, is not compensable. To avoid
disruption in the workplace, an employee shall schedule such appointments to
occur during off duty hours whenever possible. In the event such scheduling is
not available, employee may be allowed to attend an appointment during their
regularly scheduled duty shift with prior supervisory approval. Regular recurring
appointments (i.e., weekly physical therapy) must be scheduled off duty.
NBPMA MOU 2022-2026
5-23
F. Non -Accruing Leave Bank
Effective on July 1 of each year, employees in the unit shall receive a bank of thirty-three
(33) hours of non -accruing leave to use within that fiscal year. The hours have no cash
value and cannot be transferred to any other leave bank. Hours used are subject to
supervisory approval and must be used within that fiscal year or be forfeited. Non -
accruing leave cannot be carried into the next fiscal year.
Section 4. — Fringe Benefits
A. Health Insurance
15
1. Benefits Information Committee
City has established a Benefits Information Committee ("BIC") composed of one
representative from each employee association group and up to three City
representatives. The BIC has been established to allow the City to present data
regarding carrier and coverage options, the cost of those options, appropriate
coverage levels and other health programs. The purpose of the BIC is to provide
each employee association with information about health insurance/programs and
to receive timely input from associations regarding preferred coverage options and
levels of coverage.
2. Medical Insurance
a. The City has implemented an IRS qualified Cafeteria Plan. In addition to the
amounts listed below, the City shall contribute the minimum CalPERS
participating employer's contribution towards medical insurance.
Employees shall have the option of allocating Cafeteria Plan contributions
towards the City's existing medical, dental and vision insurance/programs.
b. City Contribution
The City's monthly contribution towards the Cafeteria Plan is
$1,524.00 (plus the minimum Ca1PERS participating employer
contribution as outlined in Government Code §22892.)
ii. If, prior to June 30, 2026, a court of competent jurisdiction or formal
legal opinion determines that the City's cafeteria benefit plan is a
bona fide plan such that the City's contributions towards medical
NBPMA MOU 2022-2026
5-24
16
premiums will not be included in the employee's regular rate of pay
under the Fair Labor Standards Act, the City will increase the monthly
contribution towards the Cafeteria Plan by a total of $200 over the
remaining term of the agreement. The $200 will be prorated annually
over the remaining term of the agreement (full years only), beginning
with the first day of the next plan year. Examples: If the cafeteria
benefit plan becomes bona fide during December of 2023, the City
will increase the monthly contribution by $100 per month in January
of 2024 (Year 3) and by an additional $100 per month (total $200) in
January of 2025 (Year 4). If the cafeteria benefit plan becomes bona
fide in March of 2022, the $200 will be spread evenly over the
remaining complete plan years of the agreement, or at $67 per month
beginning in January of 2023 (Year 2), another $67 per month in
Year 3 and another $67 per month in Year 4. If the City's cafeteria
benefit plan is not determined to be a bona fide plan as outlined
above by a court of competent jurisdiction or formal legal opinion
prior to the expiration of this MOU, this paragraph will become
ineffective and the City's obligation to increase the cafeteria
contribution by $200 will cease at the expiration of the MOU.
c. Cash Back
i. Subject to the terms and conditions below, for members employed
in either this unit or the Newport Beach Police Association unit prior
to December 18, 2021, any unused Cafeteria Plan funds shall be
payable to the employee as taxable cash back. Employees shall be
allowed to change coverages in accordance with plan rules and
during regular open enrollment periods.
ii. Unit members whose actual start state in either this unit or the
Newport Beach Police Association unit occurred prior to December
18, 2021, and who elect to opt out of medical coverage offered by
the City because they have proof of minimum essential coverage
("MEC') through another source (other than coverage in the
individual market, whether or not obtained through Covered
California) will receive $1,000 per month in taxable cash paid bi-
weekly. For these same employees, if they elect medical coverage
and spend less than the City contribution provided above, those
unused cafeteria plan funds shall be paid to the employee as taxable
cash biweekly.
NBPMA MOU 2022-2026
5-25
17
iii. Newly appointed unit members whose actual start date in either this
unit or the Newport Beach Police Association unit occurred on or
after December 18, 2021, and who elect to opt out of medical
coverage offered by the City because they have provided proof of
MEC through another source (other an coverage in the individual
market, whether or not obtained through Covered California) shall
receive $500 per month in taxable cash. For these same employees,
if they elect medical coverage and spend less than the City
contribution provided above, there shall be no cash back provided.
This paragraph shall not apply to an employee who received a
condition offer letter prior to adoption of this MOU which referenced
the pre-existing "opt out" and cafeteria cash provisions.
NBPMA members who do not want to enroll in any medical plan offered by the City
must provide evidence of group medical insurance coverage, and execute an "opt -
out" agreement releasing the City from any responsibility or liability to provide
medical insurance coverage on an annual basis.
The preceding language as applied to the following scenarios:
1. Part-time employee hired by the City prior to MOU adoption but not
appointed as a full-time employee into the NBPA or NBPMA until on
or after December 18, 2021 - this employee is subject to the $500
opt -out amount and does not receive cash back if the medical
coverage elected is less than the City contribution.
2. Full-time employee hired by the City prior to December 18, 2021 who
later drops down to part-time and then is reappointed to the unit as
a full-time employee — this employee is subject to the $500 opt -out
amount and does not receive cash back if the medical coverage
elected is less than the City contribution.
3. Full-time employee hired by the City prior to December 18, 2021 who
later transfers into the unit from another unit — if the employee was
not subject to the $500 opt -out amount and/or no cash back in the
unit from which they are transferring, they will receive the benefit of
$1,000 opt -out and/or cash back if the medical coverage elected is
less than the City contribution.
NBPMA MOU 2022-2026
5-26
3. Dental Insurance
The existing or comparable dental plans shall be maintained as part of the City's
health plan offerings as agreed upon by the BIC.
4. Vision Insurance
The existing or a comparable vision plan shall be maintained as part of the City's
health plan offerings as agreed upon by the BIC.
B. Additional Insurance/Programs
1. IRS Section 125 Flexible Spending Account
Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code authorizes an employee to reduce taxable
income for payment of allowable expenses such as child care and medical expenses.
The City shall maintain a "reimbursable account program" in accordance with the
provisions of Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code, pursuant to which an
Association member may request that medical, child care and other eligible expenses
be paid or reimbursed by the City out of the employee's account. The base salary of
the employee will be reduced by the amount designated by the employee for
reimbursable expenses.
The City's obligation to establish a reimbursable account program is contingent upon
the City incurring no cost or potential liability relative to the plan or its administration.
City shall cooperate to the fullest extent of the law, provided, however, City may
require the plan to contain provisions that authorize the administrator to pay allowable
expenses only upon submittal of a demand from the City. Any "reduction" in salary
pursuant to this Section and/or the Section 125 Plan established by the City, shall not
affect any other provision of this MOU.
2. Disability Insurance
The City shall provide Short-term (STD) and Long-term (LTD) disability insurance
to all regular full-time employees with the following provisions:
Weekly Benefit
66.67% gross weekly wages
Maximum Benefit $15,000/month
18 NBPMA MOU 2022-2026
5-27
Minimum Benefit $15 (STD) and $100 (LTD)
Waiting Period 30 Calendar Days (STD)
180 Calendar Days (LTD)
Employees shall pay one percent (1 %) of base salary as a post -tax deduction for
this benefit. The City will pay the full premium for this benefit effective the later of
the first premium payment following the City Council adoption of this MOU, or the
first premium payment after July 1, 2022.
Employees shall not be required to exhaust accrued paid leaves prior to receiving
benefits under the disability insurance program.
Employees may not supplement the disability benefit with paid leave once the
waiting period has been exhausted.
3. Life Insurance
The City shall provide life insurance for all regular full-time employees in $1,000
increments equal to one times the employee's annual salary up to a maximum of
$50,000. At age 70 the City -paid life insurance is reduced by 50% of the pre-70
amount. This amount remains in effect until the employee retires from City
employment.
C. Employee Assistance Program
City shall provide an Employee Assistance Program ("EAP") through a properly licensed
provider. NBPMA members and their family members may access the EAP at no cost
subject to provider guidelines.
D. Retirement Benefits
19
1. Retirement Formula
The City contracts with the California Public Employees Retirement System
("CalPERS" or "PERS") to provide retirement benefits for its employees. Pursuant
to prior agreements and state mandated reform, the City has implemented first,
second and third tier retirement benefits as follows:
NBPMA MOU 2022-2026
5-28
20
Tier I ("Legacy"): For employees hired by the City on or before November 23, 2012,
the retirement formula for safety members shall be 3%@50, calculated on the
basis of the highest consecutive 12-month period.
Tier II ("Classic"): For employees first hired by the City between November 24 and
December 31, 2012, or hired on or after January 1, 2013 and who are current
members of the retirement system or a reciprocal retirement system, as defined in
Public Employees Pension Reform Act (PEPRA), the retirement formula for safety
members shall be 3%@55, calculated on the basis of the highest consecutive 36
month period.
Tier III ("PEPRA"): For employees first hired by the City on or after January 1, 2013,
and who do not meet the Tier II criteria, the safety retirement formula shall be
2.7%@57, calculated on the basis of the highest consecutive 36-month period.
2. Other Contract Provisions
The City's contract with Ca/PERS shall also provide for:
a. The military buy-back provisions pursuant to Section 20930.3 of the
California Government Code and the highest year benefit pursuant to
California Government Code Section 20042.
b. The Level 4 1959 Survivors Benefits.
C. The Ca/PERS pre -retirement option settlement 2 death benefit (Section
21548) for miscellaneous and safety members.
3. Employee Contributions
Unit members shall contribute additional amounts toward the Ca/PERS retirement
benefit, to the extent permissible by law, as set forth below. Employee retirement
contributions that are in addition to the normal Ca/PERS Member Contribution shall
be calculated on base pay, special pays, and other pays normally reported as
pensionable compensation, and will be made on a pre-tax basis through payroll
deduction provided under 414(h)(2).
NBPMA MOU 2022-2026
5-29
11111t=1111F1T11111111
NBPMA Tier I and II members will contribute the full statutory member contribution,
equal to 9% of pensionable compensation, plus an additional 5.6% of pensionable
compensation toward retirement costs as permitted under Government Code
§20516(f), for a total contribution of 14.6%.
Tiar III -
In addition to the statutorily required 50% contribution of total normal costs
("member contribution rate"), Tier III members shall contribute an additional
amount of pensionable compensation toward retirement costs pursuant to
Government Code § 20516(f), so that their contribution equals a total contribution
of 14.6% of pensionable compensation.
If in future fiscal years the member contribution rate for employees in Tier III shall
become greater or less, as determined by CalPERS valuations, the additional
contribution made by the employee under 20516(f) will be increased or decreased
accordingly so that the total employee contribution equals 14.6% of pensionable
compensation. Provided however, that the employee contribution shall never fall
below the statutorily required contribution.
E. Retiree Medical Benefit
This is an Integral Part Trust (IPT) RHS Retiree Health Savings (RHS) plan (formerly
the Medical Expense Reimbursement Program - "MERP'). Each member has an
individual RHS account ("Account'), which accumulates based on the category they
fall under. Funds from the Account may be used for eligible health care expenses after
separation, retirement or a change in personnel status to a position that does not
receive the RHS benefit. These changes in personnel status will activate the Account
and allow funds to be withdrawn until the Account balance is depleted. Since the plan
restricts all distributions to be spent for health insurance premiums and health care
expenses, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code Publication 502, § 213(d) and the
Plan document the contributions, fund investment earnings and benefit payments
(when withdrawn from the Account) are not taxable when posted. Additionally, certain
contributions may only be deposited upon retirement from the City. The categories are
provided below.
21
NBPMA MOU 2022-2026
5-30
22
1. Background
In 2005, the City and NBPMA agreed to replace the previous "defined benefit"
retiree medical program with a new "defined contribution" program. The process
of fully converting to the new program is ongoing for an extended period. During
the transition, employees and (then) existing retirees were administratively
classified into different categories. The benefit is structured differently for each of
the categories. The categories are as follows:
a. Category 1 - Employees who become eligible for the benefit after January
1, 2006. This may include new hires, rehires and part-time employees appointing
to full-time status.
b. Category 2 - Employees who were active and enrolled in the previous
defined benefit as of December 31, 2005, eligible for the new defined contribution
program as of January 1, 2006 and whose age plus years of service as of January
1, 2006 was less than 46 for public safety employees.
C. Category 3 - Employees who were active and enrolled in the previous
defined benefit as of December 31, 2005, eligible for the new defined contribution
program as of January 1, 2006 and whose age plus years of service as of January
1, 2006 was 46 or greater for public safety employees.
d. Category 4 — Employees who had already retired from the City prior to
January 1, 2006, and were participating in the previous medical program.
2. Eligibility
All NBPMA members are eligible for the RHS benefit. However, if a member separates
or changes positions to a bargaining unit which does not offer this benefit, the member
is no longer eligible for any contributions to the plan and their Account will be activated
for use and withdrawal of funds by the employee (or former employee). This means if
a unit member subsequently reappoints to a position which offers the RHS benefit,
they will be enrolled in "Category I" and must revest in the program. Any remaining
balance deposited during prior eligibility will remain in the Account.
Employees who become ineligible (no longer covered by a City employee association,
union or plan offering the RHS benefit) before vesting forfeit the City's Part B
contribution. Said employee will only receive Part A and Part C contributions. The only
exception is an active employee who separates before vesting due to an approved
NBPMA MOU 2022-2026
5-31
23
industrial disability. In such case, the employee will receive exactly five years' worth
of Part B contributions, using the employee's age and compensation at the time of
separation for calculation purposes. This amount will be deposited into the employee's
Account at the time of separation.
3. Account Contributions
Account contributions are categorized as Part A, Part B and Part C.
Part A contributions are a mandatory, automatic 1 % employee contribution deducted
each pay period and deposited into the Account through payroll. Deductions begin the
pay period in which the employee becomes eligible and are reported to CaIPERS as
pensionable.
Part B contributions require a five-year vesting period which begins when the
employee becomes eligible for the RHS benefit. At the conclusion of the vesting
period, the City will credit the first five years' worth of Part B contributions into the
Account (interest does not accrue during that period and the contributions are
calculated at $2.50 per month for each year of the employee's full-time service plus
age) and begin to contribute $2.50 per month for each year of the employee's full-time
service plus age (e.g. 30 years old and five years of service would be a factor of 35.
$2.50 x 35 = $87.50 per month). This factor is updated annually in the pay period
including January 1. Part B contributions are not reported to Ca1PERS as pensionable.
The parties agree that the City's Part B contributions during active employment
constitute the minimum CaIPERS participating employer's contribution (i.e., the
CaIPERS statutory minimum amount) towards medical insurance after retirement. The
parties also agree that, for retirees selecting a CaIPERS medical plan, or any other
plan with a similar employer contribution requirement, the required employer
contribution will be deducted from the employer's contribution to the retiree's account.
Part C contributions are determined by NBPMA election and deposited into the
Account when flex leave hours are converted to taxable cash through leave cash -out
or at the time of separation or status change. Spillover pay does not qualify for Part C
contributions. Part C contributions are not reported to CaIPERS as pensionable.
The Association determines the level of contribution for all unit members, subject to
the following constraints. All employees within the Association must participate at the
same level. The participation level shall be specified as a percentage of the flex leave
NBPMA MOU 2022-2026
5-32
24
balance available in each employee's leave bank at the time of separation from the
City, or status change, or as a percentage of the flex leave balance being cashed out.
For example, if the Association wishes to elect 30% Part C contributions, then each
member leaving the City, or cashing out eligible leave at any other time, would have
the cash equivalent of 30% of the amount that is cashed out deposited to their RHS
Account on a pre-tax basis. The remaining 70% would be paid in cash as taxable
income. Individual employees do not have the option to deviate from this breakout.
The Association may change the Part C contribution amount as part of a meet and
confer process. The purpose and focus of these changes should be toward long-term,
trend type adjustments. Due to IRS restrictions regarding "constructive receipt," the
City will impose restrictions against frequent spikes or drops that appear to be tailored
toward satisfying the desires of a group of imminent retirees.
The Association has decided to participate in Part C contributions at the level of zero
percent (0%) flex leave.
Nothing in this section restricts taking leave for time off purposes.
4. Benefit
a. Category 1: Employees in this category make Part A and receive Part B
contributions (subject to vesting) automatically each pay period through payroll
deductions. Part C contributions are received through cash outs. No contributions are
made to Category 1 participants after separation.
b. Category 2: Employees in this category make Part A and receive Part B
contributions (subject to vesting) automatically each pay period through payroll
deductions. Part C contributions are received through cash outs. No contributions are
made to Category 2 participants after separation.
If a Category 2 participant retires from the City with a minimum of 5 consecutive years
of full-time service, the City will contribute to the participant's Account a one-time
contribution equal to $100 per month for every month the participant contributed to the
previous "defined benefit" plan up to a maximum of 15 years (180 months). This
contribution is deposited into the Account at the time of retirement, and only if the
employee retires from the City and becomes a CalPERS annuitant of the City of
Newport Beach. No interest will be earned in the interim.
NBPMA MOU 2022-2026
5-33
25
Category 2 participants with less than five years of continuous contributions into the
prior defined benefit plan as of January 1, 2006: only the years of service after January
1, 2006 count towards Part B contributions upon vesting. Contributions in years before
2006 will be paid out as stated in the above paragraph.
c. Category 3: Employees in this category make Part A contributions automatically
each pay period through payroll deductions. Category 3 participants do not receive
any Part B contributions. Part C contributions are received through cash outs.
If an eligible Category 3 participant retires from the City of Newport Beach, the City
will deposit $400 per month into the Account upon retirement, up to a maximum of
$4, 800 per year, less the CalPERS minimum required employer contribution as
determined by CalPERS annually, which shall continue as long as the employee or
surviving spouse/qualified dependent is still living. To offset this expense to the City,
active Category 3 participants will contribute an additional $100 per month to the plan
until retirement. There is no cash out option for these funds and they cannot be spent
in advance of receipt.
Category 3 participants also receive an additional one-time City contribution of $75
per month for every month they contributed to the previous plan prior to January 1,
2006, up to a maximum of 15 years (180 months). This contribution is deposited into
the Account at the time of retirement, and only if the employee retires from the City.
No interest will be earned in the interim. Contributions are contingent upon remaining
a CalPERS annuitant of the City.
d. Category 4: For employees (retirees) in this category, there is no cost share
requirement. The monthly City contribution of $450 after retirement can be used for
any IRS authorized purpose, not just City insurance premiums. The City will contribute
Four Hundred and Fifty Dollars ($450) per month to each account as long as the
retiree or spouse remain living. For each retiree in this category, the NBPMA shall
reimburse the City $25 per month. Each quarter, the City will provide an invoice to
the NBPMA for each retiree for the previous three months, for a total of Seventy -Five
Dollars ($75.00).
5. Administration
Vendors have been selected by the City to administer the program. The contract
expense for program -wide administration by the vendor will be paid by the City.
NBPMA MOU 2022-2026
5-34
However, specific vendor charges for individual account transactions that vary
according to the investment actions taken by each employee, such as fees or
commissions for trades, will be paid by each employee.
The City's Deferred Compensation Committee, or its successor committee, will have
the authority to determine investment options that will be available through the plan.
F. Deferred Compensation
Each employee shall have a deferred compensation account set up by the City and
subject to the rules of IRS Code section 457 to which they may make contributions. The
City shall contribute to each employee's deferred compensation account each pay period
as follows:
1. The City shall contribute a total of two percent (2%) of base salary to each
employee's deferred compensation account.
Under federal law, there is an annual maximum contribution which may be made
to an employee's IRS Code section 457 account. Although the City will be making
contributions to employees' accounts each pay period, it is the employees'
responsibility to track their total contribution amount. If an employee's account
contributions reach the annual 457 maximum, the City will stop making
contributions for the remainder of the calendar year and will not owe the employee
any additional compensation related to this section.
G. Tuition Reimbursement
NBPMA members attending accredited community colleges, colleges, trade schools or
universities may apply for reimbursement of one hundred percent (100%) of the actual
cost of tuition, books, fees or other student expenses for approved job -related courses.
The maximum tuition reimbursement for all employees in the Unit shall be One Thousand
Four Hundred Dollars ($1,400) per fiscal year.
H. Physical Fitness Qualifier
The Physical Fitness Qualifier (PFQ) is offered to police officers twice annually. Fitness
benchmarks have been established and are outlined in Exhibit B. Officers who rank 1st
Class, 2nd Class or 3rd Class as set forth in Exhibit B are awarded leave time depending
upon achieved rank. Within two weeks of PFQ completion, the department will create a
personnel action form indicating the rank and number of leave time hours awarded for
each sworn police officer. The awarded hours will be placed in the police officer's
26 NBPMA MOU 2022-2026
5-35
individual Comp Time bank (at the straight time rate), which is subject to a 120-hour
maximum balance. If the employee later chooses to have the leave time "paid out,"
payment will be at the employee's MOU overtime rate.
SECTION 5. - Miscellaneous Provisions
A. Reductions in Force/Layoffs
The provisions of this section shall apply when the City Manager determines that a
reduction in the work force is warranted because of actual or anticipated reductions in
revenue, reorganization of the work force, a reduction in municipal services, a reduction

specific employee. Reductions in force are to be accomplished, to the extent feasible, on

The purpose of the Physical Fitness Qualifier "PFQ" is to maintain and encourage high levels of overall
physical fitness for police officers. The PFQ consists of four fitness categories: pull-ups, push-ups,
crunches, and a 1.5-mile run. The PFQ is divided into three age groups: 21 to 30, 31 to 40, and 41 to 50+
years. The PFQ allows officers to accumulate points towards compensatory time. Each age group has
three compensatory time award classifications: V Class - 9 hours, 2nd Class — 6 hours, and 3rd Class — 3
hours. For example, a 35-year-old officer who accumulates 250 points will be classified 2nd Class and earn
6 hours of compensatory time.
At a minimum, officers will be required to meet the standard number in the fitness category for their
corresponding age group. If he/she only meets the required minimum qualification score for their age group
for any of the four fitness categories, he/she will not earn the minimum amount needed to receive
compensatory time. However, the scoring system allows for an officer to compensate for a lower score in
one category by scoring higher in other categories.
