Summary
A consent agenda resolution approving a collective labor agreement between the city and its police officers passed on the council consent calendar. Council members thanked negotiators and expressed hope officers will benefit from the pay adjustments.
The council approved, on the consent agenda, Resolution 55025 — a collective labor agreement between the City of Boise and its police officers — which includes a bonus and a pay increase to be implemented this month.
During the consent discussion a council member thanked city negotiators, union leadership and BPD command staff for concluding negotiations and said the agreement should help officers “do their job, and not have to stress about their families being taken care of.” The resolution was approved on the consent calendar by roll-call vote.
No detailed contract terms, specific dollar amounts for wage increases or the size of the bonus were read into the record during the consent discussion; staff and union leadership were thanked publicly for completing the agreement. Implementation steps, payroll adjustments and any required budget amendments will be handled by city human resources and finance staff in coordination with the police department.
