Explanation:
The City and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, Local 2432 (“AFSCME”), are parties to a Collective Bargaining Agreement (“CBA”) from the period of October 1, 2018 through September 30, 2020, covering the City’s Professional employees, and are in the process of negotiating a successor CBA.
The parties desire to address Article 6 (Wages) prior to the conclusion of a negotiated successor agreement and not to be delayed by the ongoing COVID19 pandemic. As a result, they have negotiated the attached MOU containing changes to Article 6 (Wages), stating that effective October 1, 2020, the pay ranges within the Bargaining Unit shall be increased by two percent (2%) and employees whose base pay is below the top of the new pay range, shall receive a two percent (2%) wage increase on their base pay effective the first full pay period after September 30, 2020.
Fiscal Impact:
The cost of the 2% wage increases for professional employees is approximately $125,000. Funding for the pay increases is available in the FY 2021 Adopted Operating Budget.
