Regulations, including those appointed after the effective date of this
Memorandum.

should be granted a leave of absence for an original period not to exceed

the period of such disability, but not exceeding one (1) year, or until
such earlier date as he is retired on permanent disability pension,

prognosis indicates an ability to return to duty within said period
of three hundred sixty-five (365) calendar days or a reasonable
extension thereof, then the City may grant the employee a leave
of absence for said determined period and the employee shall
receive the benefits of Labor Code Section 4850 up to and including

not exceed an accumulative 'period of one'(l) year for said
disability and said benefit is in lieu of any temporary disability
payments the employee is entitled to receive from Workers'~Compensation
or other income sources existing by reasons of the employee's employ-
ment by City, including but not limited to the eligibility to
receive long-term disability benefits. If the accumulative one-year
period of the said Labor Code benefit expires before the determined
leave of absence period, the employee shall be eligible to receive
the long-term disability benefits,, in accordance with its terms and
conditions, from and after expiration of said Labor Code benefit to
the termination date of said leave of absence. If the leave of
-7-
absence as above described is granted and the disability becomes
permanent and stationary during said leave of absence and renders the
employee incapable of performing his duty, then City may at any time
thereafter during said leave of absence retire the employee for
disability as hereinafter stated. City shall pay the agreed premiums
for health, dental and life insurance up to th~ date of said disability
retirement or termination date of said leave of absence whichever is
applicable.

disability. If the employee is incapacitated for the performance of
duty and the disability is permanent and stationary, the City may
retire the employee for said disability or otherwise separate said
employee from the City's service and the employee is eligible to
receive long-term disability benefits in accordance with its terms and
conditions. If the City determines that the employee is incapacitated
for the performance of duty but the medical prognosis indicates an
ability to return to duty within a period of three hundred sixty-five
(365) calendar days or a reasonable extension thereof, then the City
may grant the employee a leave of absence for said determined period
and the employee shall be eligible t° receive long-term disability
benefits in accordance with its terms and conditions. If the leave of
absence as above described is granted and the disability becomes
-8-
permanent and stationary during said leave of absence period and
renders the employee incapable of performing his duty, then the City
may at any time thereafter during said leave of absence retire the
employee for disability as hereinbefore stated. City shall pay the
agreed premiums for health, dental and life insurance up to the day
said leave of absence expires or the date of disability retirement, which-
ever is applicable.

CIATION OF FIREFIGHTERS OF
AMERICA, LOCAL 1507, AFL-CIO
July 1, 1976 - June 30, 1978
Except for Surviving Provisions
2. Retirement and Salary Relationship - Total Compensation. Members
of Unit 6 desire to obtain the substantial benefits'of the 2% Age 50
Public Safety Retirement Formula by having City amend the PERS agency
contract to so provide. City does not desire to so amend because (1) City
.
now provides the ½ Age 55 Public Safety Retirement formula which includes
members of Unit 6, Fire Department personnel not presently members of said
unit and future public safety Fire Department personnel, all at an agency
contribution rate City is presently willing to pay when considered in
relation to cost of salaries and other benefits which constitute total
compensation, and (2) in accordance with applicable retirement laws, such
amendment will cause City to incur an-increase in the agency contribution
rate for all public safety personnel (Fire and Police), which increase in
cost of total compensation (including but not limited to salaries, retire-
ment and other benefits) City is-unwilling to incur. Members of Unit 6,
for the purpose of establishing a reasonable City cost for said total
compensation and, therefore, to induce City to so amend the PERS contract
(1) propose and agree, pursuant to Governmeht Code Section 3500, et. seq.,
to establish a New Base Salary and furnish the assurances described below
which City may require as a condition precedent to the PERS contract
amendment, and (2) make the representations described below as the basis
for a condition precedent which City may ~require prior to the PERS contract
amendment.
2.1 New Base Salary.
2.1.1 Establishment of New Base Salary. In 1977-78 a New Base
Salary for Firemen represented by Unit 6 is hereby established, same to be
effective on November ll, 1977. Said New Base Salary shall be computed
as follows: (1) Add to each said firemen's 1976-77 bi-weekly salary range
6.5% thereof, which is the annual percentage change in cost of living as
reflected in the Bay Area Cost of Living Index for the preceding completed
annual index'period (April, 1976 - April, 1977), and (2) then deduct from
that total 7.44% thereof, said percentage being the difference between the
City's total compensation cost for the ½ @ Age 55 Retirement Formula and
the 2% @ Age 50 Retirement Formula for public safety members (Police and
Fire).
2.1.2 Significance and Use of New Base Salary -'Survival of Provision.
This provision states the significance and use of the New Base-Salary, also
referred to as Base Salary, established pursuant to paragraph 2.1.1 of
this Memorandum of Understanding for future related actions. This provision
shall survive the termof this Memorandum of Understanding, which term is set
forth in paragraph 1, and shall run concurrently with the period for which
the 2% @ Age 50 Public Safety Retirement Benefits are applicable to
eligible firemen in accordance with PERS rules and regulations, including
those firemen appointed after the effective date of this Memorandum of
Understanding. Each of the following sub-paragraphs may be read in
conjunction with one or more of the other sub-paragraphs and with this
-2-
Memorandum of Understanding to interpret this provision.
(a) Base Salary for fiscal year 1977-78 shall be the salary
established pursuant to paragraph 2.1.1 of this Memorandum of Understanding
and changes therein in subsequent years or other times by Memorandum of
Understanding or otherwise shall be designated "Amended Base Salary."
(b) Changes in the Base Salary or Amended Base Salary, which-
ever is applicable, shall not be based on the fact the deduction set forth~
in paragraph 2.1.1(2) of this Memorandum of Understanding was made to
compute same or based on the amount of said deduction. City may refuse to
consider the fact of said deduction or the amount thereof in future negotia-
tions as a basis for increasing the Base Salary or Amended Base Salary, and
said refusal shall not be deemed a refusal to meet and confer in good
faith or otherwise violative of the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (Government
Code Section 3500, et seq.). .
(c) The Base Salary or Amended Base Salary, whichever .is
applicable, results in a comparison difference between said salary and the
salaries of other departments as well as the salaries of firemen in com-
parable agencies. If said domparison difference equals or is less than
7.44%, it shall not serve as the sole basis for negotiations related to
salary benefits or other terms and conditions of employment or increases
or adjustments to equal or approximate salaries, benefits or other terms
and conditions of employment for other City departments or comparable
agencies, or to otherwise increase said salaries. If the comparison
~ifference equals or is less than 7.44%, City may refuse to consider same
as a basis for increasing the Base Salary or Amended Base Salary and said
refusal shall not be deemed a refusal to meet and confer in good faith or
otherwise violative of the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (Government Code
Section 3500 et seq.).
(d) If an increase by reason of cost of living or otherv~ise
is authorized by an approved Memorandum of Understanding or otherwise,
said increase in an amount or'percentage shall be applied to the Base
Salary or Amended Base Salary, whichever is then in effect.
(e) If a general department decrease or City-wide decrease in
salaries is authorized by an approved Memorandum of Understanding or
otherwise, the amount of decrease or adjustment or percentage thereof
shall be applied to the Base Salary or Amended Base Salary, whichever is
then in effect.

thereof of this Memorandum of Understanding by vote of the membership,

incorporated herein by this reference as if set forth verbatim. Firemen
appointed after the effective date of this Memorandum of Understanding
shall subscribe to a similar acceptance and assurance as a term and
condition of employment.

are not represented by Unit 6, desire the benefits of the 2% @ Age 50
