REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION MAH r DATE: March 7,2003 ITEM NO: /y ^ 0 200J Department Approval: Name Ron Moorsc Title City Administrator Administnitor Reviewed:t Agenda Section: City Administrator's Report Item Description: 2002/2003/2004 Police Sergeant Contract Settlement 1 he Police Sergeant employee group had been a non*union group until they formed a bargaining unit in 2002. This required the negotiation of a new contract, which included a number of issues related to presets ing the City’s management rights and authority, as well as the economic issues such as pay and bcnetlts. 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 benefits 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%. I'he 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 incrcu.se 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-opencr Premium Holidays (holidays for which time worked is paid at one and one-halftimes the regular pay rate) 2002: Five premium holidays!same as Police Officers) 2003: Seven premium holidays 2004: Seven premium holidays Call Back Time.
