Indio Police Command Unit Assn. v. City of Indio
Annotate this CaseThe City of Indio and its chief of police appealed a judgment which granted a permanent injunction in favor of the Indio Police Command Unit Association (the PCU), and two of its police officer members, prohibiting the City from implementing a planned reorganization of the City’s Police Department’s command staff until it demonstrated full compliance with the "meet and confer" requirements of the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (MMBA). They also appealed a postjudgment order granting the PCU its attorney fees under Code of Civil Procedure section 1021.5. The appellants argued the injunction was improper because the City sufficiently complied with its meet and confer obligations, and the trial court abused its discretion by awarding the PCU attorney fees. The Court of Appeal rejected their contentions after review of this case, and affirmed the judgment and postjudgment order.
