Taylor City Council holds closed session on collective bargaining, approves tentative AFSCME agreement
Summary
The Taylor City Council voted to enter a closed session on collective bargaining with AFSCME and the police officers’ association, then approved a tentative agreement with Local 19/17/22 AFSCME Michigan after the closed session.
The Taylor City Council voted to go into a closed-door session on collective bargaining with AFSCME and the Taylor Police Officers Labor Association, then returned from closed session and approved a tentative agreement with AFSCME Local 19/17/22 Michigan.
The council first moved to go into closed session to discuss collective bargaining under agenda item 6.2. A roll call recorded six yes votes (Rose, Daniels, Johnson, Brandon, Witten and Geist), and the mayor announced the council would recess into a closed-door session for bargaining. The closed session concluded and the council returned to open session at 7:18 p.m.
After the closed session the council considered agenda item 6.3, a motion to approve a tentative agreement between the city of Taylor and Local 19/17/22 AFSCME Michigan. The council approved the motion by voice vote; the mayor asked for further communications after the vote.
The transcript does not contain the full text of the tentative agreement, specific financial terms, or a recorded roll-call tally for the approval vote. The council’s formal action was limited in the record to approving the tentative agreement; the clerk did not read agreement details into the public record during the meeting.
The approvals follow the council’s standard practice of entering a closed session for collective bargaining discussions before voting on a tentative agreement in open session. No member offered additional substantive public detail about the agreement during the meeting.
