SHAKOPEE
TO: Mayor and City Council
FROM: Kris Wilson, Assistant City Administrator
DATE: 04/07/2015
SUBJECT: Memorandum of Understanding with Police Sergeants Union (E)
Action Sought
The Council is asked to authorize the appropriate officials to enter into the attached
Memorandum of Understanding with Law Enforcement Labor Services, Local No.
279.
Background
Law Enforcement Labor Services (LELS), Local No. 279 represents the City's eight
Police Sergeants. The City and LELS currently have a settled union contract
covering calendar years 2014, 2015 and 2016. However, the contract contains what
is known as "re-opener" language specific to Article 30: Special Duty Pay. That
article states "The Union and the Employer agree that this article, and only this
article, may be reopened at the request of either party during the term of contract in
the event that the Department adds additional special duty assigments for the
position of Sergeant."
Effective March 9, 2015 the City has added the special duty assignment of
Administrative Sergeant. The City and LELS have proceeded to negotiate
additional compensation for this position in the amount of$200 per month. This
agreement would be implemented through the signing of the attached
Memorandum of Understanding and back pay will be provided to the
Administrative Sergeant to the effective date of his appointment, which was March
9.
Budget Impact
The additional $200 per month in wages for a single employee can be
accommodated within the Police Department's adopted operating budget for 2015.
Recommendation
I recommend that the Council authorize the appropriate officials to enter into the
attached Memorandum of Understanding.
Relationship to Vision
A fair and competitive compensation structure for City employees contributes to
Goal E: Deliver effective and efficient public services by a staff of well-trained,
caring and professional employees.
Requested Action
