Council approves three‑year collective bargaining agreement with FOP Lodge 9
Summary
Council approved Ordinance 10‑2025, a tentative three‑year collective bargaining agreement with the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Lodge 9 covering wages and related terms for 2025–2027.
City staff told Worthington City Council on March 17 that the city and the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) Lodge 9 had negotiated a tentative collective bargaining agreement covering 2025 through 2027 and that the FOP membership had ratified the terms.
Ms. Stewart summarized the memorandum included in the agenda packet, which states the changes concern wages and wage increases across the three‑year period. Council moved to amend the ordinance to insert the actual amounts referenced in the memorandum and then voted to approve Ordinance 10‑2025 as amended.
Councilors commended staff and union representatives for reaching a tentative agreement and thanked public safety employees for their service. The ordinance passed on a roll call vote; staff said the ratified agreement will be implemented as written in the memorandum included in the agenda materials.
