Evidence tendered about contractual meaning was irrelevant because it related to the District’s subjective understanding of the MOUs that it never shared across the bargaining table while negotiating the agreements. (Vallejo Police Officers Assn. v. City of Vallejo (2017) 15 Cal.App.5th 601, 617 [a bargaining party’s subjective understanding is irrelevant if it was never disclosed to the other party]; California Teachers’ Assn. v. Governing Bd. of Hilmar Unified School Dist. (2002) 95 Cal.App.4th 183, 189, fn. 3 [undisclosed subjective intent is irrelevant to determining contractual meaning].)
