Background: The City has one recognized bargaining unit, the Palm Desert Employee's Organization, which represents general, non -management employees. The current M.O.U. with this group was approved February 27, 2008 and expires on February 28, 2011. Negotiations with the P.D.E.O. have begun; however both parties would benefit from access to FY 2011/2012 budget information prior to finalizing negotiations on a successor M.O.U.. Budget information, along with Council direction on budget issues, should be available beginning in March 2011; therefore it is advantageous to extend the current M.O.U. through May 31, 2011. The City Manager has set a meeting for April 22, 2011, which is after Council reviews departmental budgets, to continue negotiations.
