Inglewood POA, led by outgoing president Loyd Waters and new president Greg Held, negotiated a unique deal in the City of Inglewood.  Although the City of Inglewood has significant revenue, that revenue has not always been well managed.  As a result, City finances were spread thin and City Hall was very reluctant to provide significant increases to its police officers.  The City was in the process of putting on the Ballot a local one-half cent sales tax increase.  With that in mind, the POA took a gamble that paid off.  It was agreed that if the tax passed, the officers would receive a signing bonus of 4% of their annually pay in year one and in years two and three, they would receive a 4% increase in salary each year.  Also hinged to the tax increase was a significant increase in POST pay, from a flat $200 per month for an Intermediate Certificate to 7.5% and from a flat $400 per month for an Advanced Certificate to 12.5%.  Uniform Allowance went from $825 per year to $1,050 and an additional Longevity Step was added.  In November, the voters of Inglewood passed the sales tax increase and the MOU went into effect.
