Memorandums of Understanding (or MOU's) are contracts, or agreements, between the City and the represented bargaining units. Each employee association participates in the collective bargaining process with the City to negotiate wages, hours and other terms and conditions of employment and the agreements reached are contained in each MOU.
In the State of California, Government Code sections 3500-3510, also known as the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA), govern labor-management relationships within local governments. The City's Employer-Employee resolution (City Council Resolution #3208) provides local procedures for employer-employee relations under the MMBA.
