Commission adopts FOP collective‑bargaining changes into police retirement code on second reading
Summary
The commission unanimously adopted an ordinance on second reading incorporating the collective‑bargaining agreement between the city and FOP Lodge 24 into the Police Officers Retirement System code.
On second reading the commission unanimously adopted an ordinance amending Chapter 33 of the city code to incorporate provisions negotiated in the collective‑bargaining agreement with the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Lodge 24 into the Police Officers Retirement System. The ordinance updates definitions and normal‑retirement benefit language to align the retirement code with negotiated terms.
City manager and staff said no substantive changes had been made since the first reading and thanked FOP leadership for cooperative bargaining. There were no public speaker cards; the city attorney read the ordinance title and the commission adopted it by roll call vote with all members voting yes.
Why it matters: The change codifies the results of bargaining into the municipal retirement code so that benefit language in agreements is reflected in the city's statutes governing police retirement. The unanimous vote concluded the legislative step required to implement the negotiated retirement provisions.
