SIDE LETTER AGREEMENT
City Of Rohnert Park and the Rohnert Park Public Safety Officers' Association
August 1, 2018
The City of Rohnert Park ("City") and the Rohnert Park Public Safety Officers' Association
("RPPSOA") are parties to a Memorandum of Agreement ("MOA") effective April 2, 2017 -June
30, 2021.
Section 10.4(e) provides as follows:
Acting Commander Pay:
Public Safety Sergeants shall be eligible to serve as an Acting
Commander. The duration of such assignments may range from one
pay period up to three months, and will be made in writing. An Acting
Commander assignment will typically be compensated by a 10% acting
pay for all hours actually worked as an Acting Commander. This
Incentive Pay may be adjusted upon assignment if necessary, to ensure
against loss of income to the assigned Sergeant if other assignment -
based compensation is removed due to the Acting Commander
assignment. The exact amount of the Incentive Pay shall be calculated
to most closely match the Sergeant's existing pay structure, and shall
not exceed a maximum of 15%. A Sergeant receiving an Acting
Commander Incentive Pay may sign up for routine overtime offered
to all Sergeants but shall not be paid the Acting Lieutenant
Commander Pay for such overtime hours worked. Acting
Commanders will receive overtime as required by law for emergency
holdovers, or for overtime work assigned by the Director of Public
Safety or his/her designee.
Effective July 27, 2018, the parties agree to amend Section 10.4(e) of the current MOA to extend
the duration of acting assignments to a maximum of 960 hours per fiscal year for a position that
is vacant during recruitment for a permanent appointment or 12 months for an acting assignment
temporarily available due to another employee's leave of absence by amending Section 10.4(e)
as follows:
Public Safety Sergeants shall be eligible to serve as an Acting
Commander. The duration of such assignments may range from one
pay period up to 960 hours per fiscal year for a position that is vacant
during recruitment for a permanent appointment or 12 months for an
acting assignment temporarily available due to another employee's
leave of absence and will be made in writing. An Acting Commander
assignment will typically be compensated by a 10% acting pay for all
hours actually worked as an Acting Commander. This Incentive Pay

may be adjusted upon assignment if necessary, to ensure against loss
of income to the assigned Sergeant if other assignment -based
compensation is removed due to the Acting Commander assignment.
The exact amount of the Incentive Pay shall be calculated to most
closely match the Sergeant's existing pay structure, and shall not
exceed a maximum of 15%. A Sergeant receiving an Acting
Commander Incentive Pay may sign up for routine overtime offered
to all Sergeants but shall not be paid the Acting Commander Pay for
such overtime hours worked. Acting Commanders will receive
overtime as required by law for emergency holdovers, or for overtime
work assigned by the Director of Public Safety or his/her designee.
