This required the negotiation of a new contract, which included a number of issues related to preserving the City’s management rights and authoi ity, as well as the economic issues such as pay and benefits. We have now reached a settlement which does provide the language necessary to preserve the City’s management rights and authority’, and also provides pay and l^nefit adjustments consistent with the City’s other employee groups, and with the market. The key elements of the settlement are as follows: £ay 2002: 3.75% increase/same as provided to other City employee groups) 2003: An increase sufficient to provide a 9% differential between the top Police Sergeant pay rate and the top Police Officer pay rate. The generally accepted differential in the market is 10%. The current differential is 7.75%. Because the Police Officers received a 3% pay increase for 2003, the Police Sergeant pay increase required to provide a 9% differential in 2003 is 4.25%. 2004: An increase sufficient to provide a 10% differential between the top Police Sergeant pay rate and the top Police Officer pay rate. Insurance Contribution 2002: Increase from $410 per month to $460.00 per month (same as other City employee groups) 2003: $500.00 per month (same as other City employee groups) 2004: Re-opener Premium Holidays (holidays for which time worked is paid at one and one-halftimes the regular pay rate) 2002: Five premium holiday s(same as Police Officers) 2003: Seven premium holidays 2004: Seven premium holidays Call Back Time.
