Background and Analysis:
City representatives (Joe Olson and Amy Cleveland from HR; Chandra Brady and Laura Wohl from OPD and Debbie Heilman from Finance) engaged in collective bargaining with representatives from Teamsters (Darren O'Neil (Teamsters rep) and Sue Lynch and Kelli Hull from OPD. The negotiations resulted in a collectively bargained agreement that was beneficial to both sides and was within the revenue guidelines discussed previously with City Council (see attached synopsis of the agreement and the economic impact summary). Teamster's representatives subsequently took the tentative agreement to their membership and the membership ratified the agreement.
The collectively bargained agreement with Teamsters is beneficial to both parties and meets the financial objectives of the City.
