Council approves side letter allowing two officers to sign arbitration agreement, restoring larger bonus option
Summary
A side letter to the police MOU lets two officers who completed probation sign a voluntary binding arbitration agreement in exchange for a legacy $30,000 bonus payment; the council approved the side letter 5‑0.
The council unanimously approved a side letter to the current memorandum of understanding with the El Segundo Police Officers Association that offers two officers, who completed probation after the new MOU was signed, the opportunity to execute a voluntary binding arbitration agreement in exchange for the prior $30,000 bonus structure.
Director Reddick explained the background: the city is operating under a four‑year MOU with a new bonus structure ($10,000) but two officers passed probation shortly after the prior MOU expired; the side letter restores the option for those officers to receive the previous $30,000 bonus, paid in installments ($15,000 initial, then $5,000 every six months). Council voted 5‑0 to approve the side letter.
