The committee treated the matter as quasi‑judicial, reviewed written submissions, heard positions from city counsel and the association, and then entered closed session for deliberation.

City attorney Jeffrey Lacy framed the city's position, saying the chief “had full authority to decide whether or not to provide that assistance or not and full authority to withdraw the decision to provide that assistance,” and that the city attempted to make the deployment revenue neutral because the city could not confirm Milwaukee or grant funding would reimburse certain overtime costs.

Association representatives said they believed the contract does not distinguish between an off day and vacation for overtime allocation and cited past practice. Detective Scanlon argued the contract “does not distinguish between an off day and an on day” and that overtime allocation has been administered by seniority in past practice for comparable events.

Materials entered into the record included the grievance form (grievance no. 24‑001 dated Nov. 25, 2024), interdepartmental correspondence and step responses from the chief and the chief of operations (dated Sept. 17 and Nov. 11, 2024), a reply from attorney Jonathan Cermelli (Nov. 21, 2024), and a city position statement by attorney Jeffrey Lacy opposing the grievance. The committee noted section 3.8.0.3 of the labor agreement and the usual grievance/arbitration process for disputes.

After taking questions in open session, the committee voted to convene in closed session under Wisconsin Statutes (recorded by staff as “19.85 IA” and referencing the closed-session statute) to deliberate. In closed session the committee deliberated and then returned to open session and voted unanimously to take the grievance under advisement and to issue a written decision with findings of fact and conclusions of law at the next regular personnel-committee meeting.

No final decision on the merits was announced at the meeting; the committee’s action postpones a ruling until the next meeting, when the committee will issue written findings and a decision.","mediaType","Video","parentTitle","Personnel Committee 1-28-2025","oneSentenceSummary","The personnel committee considered a grievance by the Green Bay Professional Police Association alleging unpaid overtime for officers who worked the Republican National Convention.

Chief Mike Engelbrecht told the committee the agreement “represents a very good deal for both the city and our police officers” and recommended approval. Committee members asked detailed questions about changes in paid time off, a newly added personal day and Martin Luther King Jr. holiday, and the removal of a floating holiday. Staff and the chief explained that parts of the package compensated officers in exchange for other concessions and that the city and union negotiated the full set of changes as a package.

Committee members expressed concern about the long-term accrual and payout liabilities that can result when additional leave is added. One member said accrued leave can “increase, accruals … and like you said, it's 1 year per year and over a handful of years that does accumulate and then typically they'll get those paid out.” Staff replied that some leave types (personal days) cannot be carried over and that the cost estimate for the personnel change discussed earlier was “less than $6,500.”

The contract clarifies overtime and compensatory-time options. Staff explained that overtime paid at double time commonly applies to certain events (for example, some Packers events) when the Packers themselves pay for the assignment; for regular overtime the agreement allows members to elect pay or compensatory time, with accruals calculated at time and a half.

After questions and discussion, the committee voted to approve the association agreement; the vote was unanimous. The committee then moved and approved the supervisory personnel agreement by unanimous voice vote.

Committee members encouraged staff to return with additional details on accrual limits, comp-time cash-out provisions, and the long-term payroll exposure from expanded leave so the committee could better evaluate trade-offs in future negotiations.","The committee unanimously approved a 2025 labor agreement between the city and the Green Bay Professional Police Association and later approved a separate supervisors' agreement.

Committee members voted to fill listed vacancies and to increase the number of personal days for the affected fire management positions from three to four. The motions passed without recorded opposition.

Committee members asked staff questions about the mechanics and precedent for matching nonrepresented management benefits to provisions bargained in union contracts. One member summarized the policy intent: adjustments for nonrepresented employees require personnel-committee approval under the city personnel policy. Staff replied that the request followed a change negotiated in a union contract and that fire management historically received comparable personal-day benefits.

Members also raised budgetary and long-term cost concerns, noting that added leave and other recent changes (including a newly adopted paid holiday) can increase future payout liabilities if accruals grow. A staff member said the estimated immediate cost of the fire-management personal-day increase is “less than $6,500.” Another staff comment clarified that personal days “cannot be carried over” and “have to be used in the calendar year,” reducing the long‑term accrual risk for the particular personal day under discussion.

The motions were made and seconded on the record and each passed unanimously.

The committee also received a report of routine personnel actions. The committee set its next meeting for Feb. 25, 2025, and adjourned.","The Green Bay Personnel Committee unanimously approved routine staffing actions and a change to personal-day allowances that adds one personal day for fire department battalion chiefs and assistant chiefs, increasing the allowance from three days to four.","actionData","errors"]
