INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council
FROM: Stephanie Brown, Human Resources Director
CC: Mayor Ekberg
DATE: October 18, 2017
SUBJECT: United Steelworkers (USW) Police Non -Commissioned Local No. 9241 (04)
Bargaining Agreement (CBA) 2017-2018
BACKGROUND
City staff, our Labor Relations Consultant, and the representatives of the United Steelworkers
(USW) Police Non -Commissioned Local No. 9241 (04), opened labor negotiations on
November 18, 2016, to reach an agreement on a successor labor contract. A tentative
agreement negotiated in good faith between the parties was reached during mediation on
September 8, 2017, which resulted in a two-year agreement (2017-2018).
DISCUSSION
The collective bargaining agreement (CBA) provides for a wage increase for the USW Police
Non -Commissioned members of 1.8% in 2017, and 2.5% in 2018. They will also receive two (2)
floating holidays, and an increase to the shift differential for those employees who work between
the hours of 5:00 pm — 7:00 am. In addition, the USW Police Non -Commissioned members
have agreed to accept the City's Self -Insured Medical Benefit Plan Design changes which will
result in savings to our healthcare plan. Other negotiated changes to this successor labor
agreement resulted in clarification of language and process, for ease of administration
interpretation and application.
RECOMMENDATION
The City Council is being asked to forward the 2017-2018 Collective Bargaining Agreement for
the United Steelworkers (USW) Police Non -Commissioned Local No. 9241 (04) to the Regular
meeting on November 6, 2017, for approval and authorize the Mayor to sign the agreement.
