Council Agenda Item ~ `~
MEETING DATE: June 5, 2008
AGENDA ITEM: Administrator Reports -AFSCME Intent to Negotiate
SUBMITTED BY: Administration
BOARD/COMMISSION/COMMITTEE RECOMMENDATION:
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION:
BACKGROUND INFORMATION: During 2008 the City will receive an intent to negotiate with both labor
unions, LELS (Police) and AFSCME (Maintenance/Administration) as their contracts will expire on
December 31, 2008. The City has received the intent to negotiate from AFSCME. At this time the
Council should establish the negotiating committee. In the past the negotiating committee has been
two members of the Council whose term will not expire in 2009 and the Administrator. This has been
the practice in case the contract talks do not finish before the new terms begin and a change in Council
happens. In that event the committee would consist of Councilor Wick and Frank. This is solely a
decision of the City Council and the committee can be made of any representation you would like.
At some point the Council will have to schedule a special meeting to discuss the parameters the
committee will have in negotiations. We have done it both ways by having a meeting before we are
presented with a proposal or after the proposal is received. There is no right way.
BUDGET/FISCAL IMPACT:
ATTACHMENTS: Intent to negotiate from AFSCME
REQUESTED COUNCIL ACTION: Appoint a negotiating committee for the 2009 Labor contracts.
