Maumee City Council approves tentative AFSCME pact and an ordinance increasing appropriations
Summary
The Maumee City Council voted on Dec. 23 to adopt a tentative collective-bargaining agreement with AFSCME Local 649 and to amend city appropriations to reflect increased revenue.
The Maumee City Council voted on Dec. 23 to adopt a resolution authorizing the mayor to approve a tentative agreement with AFSCME Local 649 and to pass an ordinance amending the city's appropriations to reflect increased revenue.
Council members first voted to suspend the rules and declare Resolution 24-2024 an emergency measure, then approved the resolution authorizing the mayor to finalize the tentative agreement with AFSCME Local 649. The record notes that AFSCME Local 649 approved the tentative agreement earlier the same day.
Council then waived three readings and approved Ordinance 045-2024, amending Ordinance 009-2024 to reflect an increase in revenue and corresponding appropriations. Both measures were adopted by roll-call vote.
Earlier in the meeting the council recessed into an executive session to discuss contract negotiations, as permitted by the rules referenced in the agenda. The public record shows the council returned from executive session before taking the votes on the resolution and the ordinance.
Attendance and procedural notes recorded during the meeting show one council member, Harris, was excused because of a family medical emergency. The council also approved the meeting agenda and adjourned to its next regularly scheduled meeting on Jan. 6, 2025.
