Council confirms deputy police chief hire and tentative firefighters’ contract after executive session
Summary
After meeting in executive session, New London City Council approved an employment agreement for John Perry as deputy police chief and a tentative collective bargaining agreement with the firefighters union Local 1522.
Following an executive session on May 19, the New London City Council approved an employment agreement naming John Perry as deputy police chief and approved a tentative agreement with the city’s firefighters union, Local 1522.
The council first met in executive session under Connecticut General Statutes governing personnel and collective bargaining to discuss the deputy police chief appointment and a tentative firefighters’ agreement. After returning to open session, the council moved to approve the employment agreement with John Perry and authorized the mayor to sign the agreement.
The council also voted to approve a tentative agreement between the city and the New London Firefighters Union (Local 1522) and authorized the mayor to execute documents necessary to finalize the contract language. Both motions passed on voice votes.
Council cited the statutory bases for executive-session confidentiality when discussing personnel and bargaining strategy; no personnel terms beyond the formal authorization to sign were disclosed in open session.
