Background and Analysis:
City representatives engaged in collective bargaining with representatives from AFSCME. 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). AFSCME representatives subsequently took the tentative agreement to their membership and the membership ratified the agreement.
The collectively bargained agreement with AFSCME is beneficial to both parties and meets the financial objectives of the City. The agreement is attached for Council approval.
