The Beverly Hills City Council will consider the proposed memorandum of understanding (MOU) with the Police Management Association at its Aug. 5 City Council Formal Session.
In accordance with state law, the city of Beverly Hills participates in labor negotiations with its employee associations. The results of the negotiations process are written agreements or contracts reached between the city and the city employee associations. In addition, the Beverly Hills City Council in 2014 adopted a Civic Openness in Negotiations “COIN” ordinance to provide additional impartiality and transparency to the collective bargaining process.
A community meeting was held on Oct. 29, 2024, in preparation for negotiations with the Police Management Group and the two other sworn employee groups: the Police Officers’ Association and the Firefighters’ Association. A public meeting seeking specific community input was held at the City Council meeting on Nov. 7, 2024. Negotiations are ongoing for the Police Officers’ and Firefighters’ Associations.
The proposed MOU covers salaries and benefits for a four-year term. Per the city’s COIN Ordinance, an independent fiscal analysis was conducted. The fiscal analyses and proposed MOU are posted on the city’s website at https://beverlyhills.org/1473/Labor-Negotiations-2025.
There are nine represented employee associations within the city of Beverly Hills. In addition to the three sworn employee groups there are six non-sworn employee associations, Confidential, Management and Professional, MEA (Technical Services), Part-Time, Safety Support, and Supervisors. The MOUs for the city’s six non-sworn employee associations expire in Oct. 2026.
