MEMORANDUM <br /> <br />TO: <br /> <br />FROM: <br /> <br />DATE: <br /> <br />SUBJECT: <br /> <br />Mayor and Council <br />Pat Kla¢/~ity Administrator <br />April 12, 2004 <br /> <br />Consider 2004 Local 271 Union Contract-Police Sergeants <br /> <br />City representatives met xvith the Pohce Sergeants Union-Local 271 representatives t~vice in <br />February and March to negotiate a union contract. There xvas a good deal of discussion at <br />these meetings regarding the possibiliu' of having the sergeants move from exempt status to <br />non exempt status. The city is not opposed to a change in this regard but the change needs <br />to make financial sense for both pardes. In the end, a straight forcvard agreement xvith only a <br />fexv adjustments in xvages and benefits ~vas reached. Hoxvever, the exempt versus non <br />exempt status is likely to be discussed again in the next contract negotiations. <br /> <br />There are five employees in the sergeants union. The following are the changes in the <br />contract that have been tentatively agreed to and accepted by the union: <br /> <br />· One year agreement for 2004 <br />· 3% increase in wages <br />· Increase uniform allowance to $595... (Fhis is the same amount that patrol officers <br /> received for 2004.) <br />· Insurance...the city will provide the same insurance contribution to the sergeants as <br /> it does for all of the city non union employees... (The increase is $15.00 per month. <br /> This is also the same increase that the patrol officers received.) <br /> <br />The Cit7 Council could go into an executive session for discussion on the proposed changes <br />in the union contract; hoxvever, I think that thc proposal is very reasonable and <br />straightforward and an executive session is not necessary. <br /> <br />S:¥~>uncil~lS~t~ 2004~ Union(}ontract271 .doc <br /> <br /> <br />
