APPROVE 2002 LOCAL 49 CONTRACT
Proposed Action
Staff recommends that the Council approve the following motion: Move approval of the 2002 Contract for
Local 49.
This action will ratify the 2002 contract for the Public Works' employees.
Overview
The contract calls for a 2.5% wage increase effective January 1, 2002 and a 1 % wage increase effective
June 30, 2002. There is an increase of $50.00 per month for health, life, and dental insurance. In addition
the contract provides for increased compensation for union employees who are supervising work crews.
employees who have water and sewer licenses, and employees who have reached the top level for
Maintenance Worker II. These provisions will cost approximately $12.000 more than was budgeted.
Primary Issues to Consider
. How does this agreement fit in with the 2002 budget?
The City budgeted 3.5% for cost of living adjustments and $30.00 per month for benefit increases. The
. total cost of the proposed settlement is more than was budgeted. The extra money will comc from
contingency.
. How does this agreement compare to other contract settlements for 2002 in terms of wage and benefit
increases'?
Settlements for other cities have generally been in the range of 3.5%. The additional money for the top
level of Maintenance Worker II and for the crew leader position helps bring the City more in line vvith
the metro average. The $50.00/month increase in insurance is in the range of increases in other cities.
