Summary
The council approved memoranda of understanding extending existing collective bargaining agreements for AFSCME Local 2465, Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 95, and IAFF Local 57 through the 2024–25 fiscal year until new contracts are finalized.
The council voted on June 23 to approve memoranda of understanding extending current collective bargaining agreements for three employee groups — AFSCME Local 2465, Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 95, and IAFF Local 57 — through the fiscal year ending June 30, 2025, until successor agreements are finalized.
City Manager Kendall Francis told the council the MOUs preserve the status quo of contract terms while negotiations continue. The MOUs allow city operations to continue under existing pay and benefit terms and prevent lapses in coverage that could disrupt payroll or bargaining-unit relations.
Each MOU was presented and approved separately on the consent agenda with roll‑call votes recorded; council action keeps the city operating under current collective bargaining terms while negotiators finalize new contracts.
