Title
Consider a resolution authorizing the Mayor to execute Amendment No. 1 to the Meet and Confer Agreement with the Round Rock Police Association.
Body
The first Meet and Confer agreement was approved in November 8, 2012 which focused on changes in pay which allowed Round Rock to remain competitive with some of the similar sized cities throughout Texas. The second Meet and Confer agreement was approved in September 2014. The most notable differences in that agreement were in regards to the top out range by compressing the step plan from 18 years to 15 years over the course of this agreement; revised certification pay for TCOLE certificates; revised education incentive pay; and sick leave pay upon retirement.
The agreement has been working well the past two year, but Human Resources has identified two areas that need clarification and a slight amendment. The changes are shown in italics below.
Section 6.05. Sick Leave Paid Upon Retirement shall be amended as follows:
During the term of this Agreement, a police officer, up to and including the rank of Assistant Chief, who applies for and is approved for retirement under the TMRS retirement system shall be paid for accumulated hours of sick leave based upon years of service as a police officer, up to and including the rank of Assistant Chief, for the City as follows:
Less than 10 years of service No payment for sick leave;
10 to 15 years of service Payment for up to 80 hours of accumulated sick leave;
15 to 20 years of service Payment for up to 120 hours of accumulated sick leave; and
More than 20 years of service Payment for up to 160 hours of accumulated sick leave.
Police officers who resign or who are terminated will receive no payment for accumulated sick leave.
