Kokomo merit commission tables proposed merit handbook corrections after union presentation
Loading...
Summary
Union representative Jeremy Shaw presented proposed language to align the merit commission handbook with the collective bargaining agreement and Indiana Code; the commission voted to table the proposal for further questions.
The Kokomo Fire Department Merit Commission voted to table proposed corrections to the merit commission handbook after a presentation from a union representative. The item was set aside for further questions and returned to a future meeting for consideration.
Jeremy Shaw, representing the firefighters' union, told the commission that the union and the department's front office "have got together to do some cleanup language in the current merit system," and that the proposed edits are intended to align the handbook with the collective bargaining agreement and the Indiana Code. "Just clean up and conform to that," Shaw said.
After the presentation, a commissioner moved to table the measure "and consider it later after some questions have been answered." That motion was seconded, and the commission approved the motion by voice vote. The transcript records the tabling but does not identify the mover or seconder by name, nor does it record a numerical tally.
The commission did not take further action on the handbook corrections at the meeting. The handbook item will return to a future meeting for additional questions and consideration.
