A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ROHNERT PARK
AUTHORIZING AMENDMENT NUMBER ONE TO THE OUTLINE OF CERTAIN
CONDITIONS OF EMPLOYMENT, FRINGE BENEFITS AND SALARY
ADJUSTMENTS FOR THE MANAGEMENT UNIT (OUTLINE) WITH THE CITY OF
ROHNERT PARK AND THE MANAGEMENT UNIT
WHEREAS, the City wishes to encourage sworn Public Safety management personnel to live
within the City or within a reasonable distance from the City in order to respond quickly in the event of an
emergency; and
WHEREAS, the City considers a reasonable distance to be living in the incorporated areas of
Windsor, Santa Rosa, Rohnert Park, Cotati, Petaluma or Sebastopol or living in the unincorporated areas
that are within 10 driving miles per Mapquest from any of the Rohnert Park Public Safety stations; and
WHEREAS, the Department of Public Safety's Mission Statement is to be the safest city and
having sworn Public Safety management personnel living in the community where they also work will help
advance this mission; and
WHEREAS, the City has found it necessary to provide additional monetary incentive to Public
Safety applicants to encourage them to relocate to our community given the competitive job market for
sworn officers combined with the lack of available and affordable housing in the north bay area; and
WHEREAS, the City will initiate a new "In- district" Stipend in the amount of $150 per month for
current and future sworn Public Safety management personnel and discontinue the current "Residency"
Stipend of $60 per month for sworn management personnel; and
WHEREAS, the above has been discussed with and approved by the Management Unit; and
WHEREAS, attached as Exhibit A to this resolution is a side letter agreement implementing this
Amendment Number One to the Outline with the City of Rohnert Park and the Management Unit. It will
go into effect on April 1, 2006 and terminate on June 30, 2007, unless reauthorized by the City Council. If
it is not reauthorized, the affected employees would then receive the "Residency" Stipend amount
authorized for the Management unit.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Rohnert Park City Council that Amendment
Number One of the Outline with the City of Rohnert Park and the Management Unit is approved and the
City Manager is authorized to execute this amendment.
