26. Police Detail Clerks
The City shall compute the wage retroactivity payments for the Police Detail Clerk and Police
Detail Clerk Supervisor (police clerks) as follows:
Year 1 and Year 2 of CBA (FY23, FY24)-compute the amount the employee would
be paid under the new contract (after COLA applied) in each year, and subtracting
the lower wages the employee was actually paid in each year; to be clear, this
computation does not include any offset by subtracting the $7800 annual stipend
from the retroactivity amount so computed for each year.
Year 3 of CBA (FY25)-compute the amount the employee would be paid under the
new contract after the market adjustment and applying the rule for existing-
employee step assignment (Grade 2, Step 3 for Jen Caranfa which reflects a two-step
boost from Step 1 to Step 3 given her years of service, and Grade 3, Step 5 for Beth
Roche which also reflects a two-step boost given her years of service in the position
from Step 3 to Step 5), and subtract the sum of the lower wages the employee was
actually paid and $7800 annual stipend to a maximum offset of a zero balance;
Year 4 (FY26) - pending negotiation of successor contract-compute the amount
the employee would be paid under the new contract after the market adjustment,
and with step movement effective July 1, 2025 per the CBA (Jen Caranfa now
at Grade 2, Step 4, and Beth Roche moving up to Grade 3, Step 6), and subtract the
sum of the lower wages the employee was actually paid and a pro rata share of the
$7800 annual stipend actually paid to the date of the retroactivity computation to a
maximum offset of a zero balance. Following implementation of the employee's
wages under the new contract after market adjustment, the $7,800 annual stipend
will cease.
*For the sake of clarity, the phrase "to a maximum offset of a zero balance" as used
for Year 3 and Year 4 means that the retro activity will not be computed to a negative
balance for either of those years, and under no circumstances will the employee be
required to pay back any amount of the previously-paid $7800 annual stipend. With
respect to Year 1 and Year 2, the $7800 is not used as an offset.
27. IT Specialist
The IT Specialist shall move to Unit A, subject to a vote by Unit D to release this position from
Unit D and a vote by Unit A to accept this position into Unit A. If such a vote fails in either
18

Unit A or Unit D, then the IT Specialist position shall remain in Unit D and the starting rate for
that position shall be Grade 3, Step 1 (Exhibit C).
The parties hereto execute this Memorandum of Agreement subject to the terms and
conditions stated above, and subject to ratification by the Union and funding by the City
Council as outlined by M.G.L. c. 150E.
