MS/CG has ratified the terms for a successor Memorandum of Understanding (MOU)with the District, and
formal adoption of the terms by the Board of Directors is required.

Association, Public Employees Union, Local #1 (Local #1) and MS/CG MOUs are set to expire on April
17, 2022.
Pursuant to Government Code 3500-3511 and Central San's Employer-Employee Relations Ordinance

and other terms and conditions of employment.
Representatives of the Board and the MS/CG bargaining team have reached a tentative agreement on the
terms listed in Attachment 1, which would extend all provisions in the current MOU for a five-year term with

MOU will be in effect from April 18, 2022 to April 17, 2027.
The final language incorporating these changes into the successor MOU will be brought to the Board at a
future date for final adoption.

The proposed net cost impact over the proposed term of the contract (if the CPI reaches the maximum
cap of five percent in the first year and 3.75 percent in the second through fifth years) is approximately
$11.2 million.
COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION
This item was not reviewed by a Board Committee.
RECOMMENDED BOARD ACTION
Approve the tentative agreement with MS/CG and provide direction to staff to incorporate the terms of the
