Staff recommends that the Council approve the following motion: Move approval of the 1994
Contract for the Hopkins Seroeant's Association, L.E.L.S. Local #171.
This action will ratify the 1994 contract for the Sergeants.
Overview
We have completed negotiations with the Sergeants for 1994. The contract calls for a 3% wage
increase and an increase of $15.00 per month for health, life, and dental insurance in 1994.
Primary Issues to Consider
. How does this agreement compare to the other contract settlements for 1994 in terms of
. wage and benefit increases?
The 3% wage increase and the $15.00/month increase in insurance are the same increases
which were negotiated with the other unions.
. How does this agreement fit in with the 1994 budget?
The cost of living adjustment and the benefit increase are within the amounts proposed in
the 1993 budget.
. What is the Uniform Settlement Form?
The Uniform Settlement Form is a form mandated by the state of Minnesota which must be
presented to the City Council which each contract settlement. The increase shown on this
form may differ from the percentage increase listed above because the settlement form
contains such items as benefit increases, the increase in state pension and/or social security
due to any wage increases, and any step increases which individual union members may
receive during the course of the contract. It is presented for your information.
