AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
THE CITY OF ROHNERT PARK
AND
THE ROHNERT PARK PUBLIC SAFETY OFFICERS’ ASSOCIATION
Holiday Pay
The City of Rohnert Park (the “City”) and the Rohnert Park Public Safety Officers’ Association (“RPPSOA”)
entered into a Memorandum of Agreement effective June 8, 2021 – June 30, 2025 (“MOA”). The City and
the RPPSOA are collectively referred to herein as the “Parties.”
The City and RPPSOA have met and conferred in good faith, in accordance with the Meyers-Milias-Brown
Act (“MMBA”), concerning the terms and conditions of this Agreement (Holiday Pay). The specific
provisions contained in this Agreement are intended to temporarily supersede any previous agreements,
whether oral or written, regarding the matter contained herein. Further, except as provided herein, all wages,
hours and other terms and conditions of employment presently enjoyed by the RPPSOA in the MOA shall
remain in full force and effect.
Whereas, prior to June 8, 2021, Holiday Pay was compensable to RPPSOA employees in “lump sum”
allotments. As of June 8, 2021, the Holiday Pay compensation was adjusted to be compensable in the pay
period in which it was earned. This adjustment is in compliance with the CalPERS Special Compensation
requirements.
Holiday Pay compensation has been adjusted with CalPERS retroactively to July 1, 2015. As such, effective
July 1, 2015, the Holiday Pay calculations have been updated as follows:
