IV.4. Approve 2015/2016 Police Sergeants’ Contract; Genellie (CR2015-146)December 1, 2015 Council Report 2015-146
APPROVE 2015/2016 POLICE SERGEANTS’ CONTRACT
Proposed Action
Staff recommends that the Council approve the following motion: Move approval of the 2015/2016
Contract for the Police Sergeants Union.
This action will ratify the 2015/2016 contract with the Police Sergeants’ Union, L.E.L.S. Local #171.
Overview
The contract calls for a 1.5% wage increase effective January 1, 2015 and a 1.5%wage increase effective
June 28, 2015. This two year contract also call for a 1.25% wage increase effective January 1, 2016 and a
1.25%wage increase effective June 26, 2016 with an additional market adjustment of .15/hour. The
contract also provides for an increase in the City’s contribution for insurance for both 2015 and 2016 which
is in line with what other City unions have already settled for.
All of the union contracts are now settled through the end of 2016.
Primary Issues to Consider
• How does this agreement fit in with the 2015/16 budget?
The City budgeted 2.0% for wage increases in 2015 and 2.5% in 2016. The City also budgeted for
an increase in health insurance contributions.
The proposed contract grants increases to the Sergeants that are very similar to the increases agreed
to with the police officers. The increased cost to the City, over the two years of the contract, is
$4,200 more than was budgeted.
