(Copy of 2017-2018 Labor Agreement provided under separate cover) 41 42 City of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFORMATIONAL E ORANDUM TO: City Council FROM: Stephanie Brown, Human Resources Director CC: Mayor Ekberg DATE: October 4, 2017 SUBJECT: Tukwila Police Officers Guild Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) 2017-2018 BACKGROUND City staff, our Labor Relations Consultant, and the Executive Board of the Tukwila Police Officers Guild, opened labor negotiations on July 26, 2016, in an effort to reach an agreement on a successor labor contract. A tentative agreement, negotiated in good faith between the parties was reached during mediation on August 1, 2017, which resulted in a two-year agreement (2017-2018). DISCUSSION The collective bargaining agreement (CBA) provides for a wage increase of 2.50% in 2017, and 2.75 % in 2018 for the Tukwila Police Officers, and a wage increase of 3.0% in 2017, and 3.25% in 2018 for the Tukwila Police Sergeants. In addition, the Tukwila Police Officers Guild have agreed to accept the City's Self -Insured Medical Benefit Plan Design changes which will result in savings to our healthcare plan. The agreement provides for a new service incentive pay to recognize Police Officers after 20 years of service whereas in previous agreements recognition was for Police Officers who reached 6, 9 and 12 years of service. The Police Department has also created a Recruiting Officer position which has proven to be very valuable in our ability to attract Lateral Police Officer candidates from around the Country. This position has been successful using social media in their recruitment efforts. RECOMMENDATION The City Council is being asked to forward the 2017-2018 Collective Bargaining Agreement for the Tukwila Police Officers Guild to the Regular meeting on October 16, for approval and authorize the Mayor to sign the agreement. 43
