Background and Analysis:
City representatives (Joe Olson, Amy Cleveland, Debbie Sullivan and Stacy Hamilton) engaged in collective bargaining with representatives from IUOE (Greg McClure (IUOE rep) and Mike Vessey (City Operations Supervisor). The negotiations resulted in a collectively bargained agreement that was beneficial to both sides and was within the guidelines discussed previously with City Council (see attached synopsis of the agreement and the economic impact summary). IUOE representatives subsequently took the tentative agreement to their membership and the membership ratified the agreement.
