Loading...
Summary
Council adopted multiple salary ordinances and a four‑year successor memorandum of understanding with the Roseville Police Officers Association, including labor market adjustments, wage increases, revised Kaiser health contributions, and new pay differentials; the fiscal impact was described in staff presentation.
The Roseville City Council approved labor market adjustments across multiple bargaining units and adopted a four‑year successor memorandum of understanding with the Roseville Police Officers Association (RPOA) during the Dec. 17 meeting.
Human Resources Director Stacy Peterson said the adjustments follow a total compensation study that seeks to align base compensation to the 50th percentile of the labor market. Staff presented average increases by group (Local 39: ~3.65%; RPOA non‑sworn: ~3.19%; management: ~4.33%; confidential: ~4.56%) and proposed several management‑level term changes.
Key RPOA provisions in the successor agreement include a four‑year term, labor market‑based adjustments in year 1, 2.5% general wage increases in years 2 and 4, compressed sergeant salary ranges, an added $280 per pay period for officers handling and training police canines, and an updated city contribution for Kaiser health premiums (tiered percentages by enrollment level). Peterson reported the FY2025‑26 RPOA cost to the general fund of about $859,000 and a four‑year compounded cost to the General Fund stated as approximately $10.8 million; total labor market adjustment costs were presented as $2,500,000 for FY25‑26 with $1.3 million to the general fund.
Council moved and approved the recommended ordinances and resolutions as urgency measures with roll‑call votes; the actions included adopting new salary schedules and approving the RPOA MOU effective Jan. 1, 2026, with salary schedule updates effective Jan. 10, 2026, and management/confidential term changes effective Dec. 27, 2025.
Staff said the FY25‑26 costs can be covered by current budget appropriations and future costs will be included in subsequent budgets. Council members thanked bargaining teams and staff for negotiations.
