the Sergeant's Union.
This action will ratify the 2003 contract with the Sergeants Association, LELS Local 171.

June 29, 2003. Sergeants will also receive an additional .35 per hour effective March 1,2003.
Primarv Issues to Consider
. How does this agreement fit in with the 2003 budget?
The City budgeted 3% for cost of living adjustments and $10.00 per month for benefit increases. The
total cost of the proposed settlement is approximately $500 less than was budgeted.
. How does this agreement compare to other contract settlements for 2003 in terms of wage and benefit
increases?
This settlement is the range of sergeant's settlements for 2003.
Alternatives
1. Approve the contract. Retroactive pay and benefit increases will be included in the next payroll.
2. Do not approve the contract. Staff would have to renegotiate the contract.
Staff recommends Alternative #1.
