LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING
between the
ANAHEIM FIREFIGHTERS ASSOCIATION, Local 2899
and the
CITY OF ANAHEIM
WHEREAS, the Anaheim Firefighters Association, Local 2899 ("AFA' received formal notification
from the City of Anaheim ("ANAHEIM'S of ANAHEIM's intent to eliminate one (1) Fire Company
consisting of three (3) Fire Captains, three (3) Fire Engineers, and six (6) Firefighters effective
June 14, 2011, which could result in eight employees represented by AFA being laid off, in
order to reduce ANAHEIM's general fund expenditures.
WHEREAS, ANAHEIM and AFA have reached an agreement to avoid those layoffs while still
accomplishing the reduction in general fund expenditures sought to be achieved by ANAHEIM.
WHEREFORE, the parties agree as follows:
1. ANAHEIM shall not layoff those individuals who are not otherwise assigned to
specific fire suppression positions based upon their departmental seniority, but shall
instead retain those employees as relief suppression firefighters, who shall be assigned
to fill vacant positions resulting from planned or unplanned absences of other
suppression employees or, if there are no available vacant positions, as additional
personnel on fire suppression apparatuses.
2. The employees identified above in paragraph 1. shall be reassigned to
established fire suppression positions as those positions become vacant through
resignation or retirement. Such reassignment shall be made on the basis of department
seniority.
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties, shall not be construed as
establishing precedent, and shall not prejudice either party in any future discussions,
negotiations, or grievances on any issue.
