Grandview Heights City Council voted to approve a three-year labor agreement with the Fraternal Order of Police, Capital City Lodge No. 9, Monday night.

Mayor Kearns told council the parties had negotiated an agreement and the document was included in the meeting packet. Director John Maxwell said the agreement maintains competitiveness with other Central Ohio public safety agencies and that both sides achieved some desired outcomes.

Council moved to suspend the rules to allow immediate passage; the suspension vote passed on a roll call. Council then voted to approve Ordinance 20 25-13 on passage by roll call. Members applauded negotiators and noted the work required to reach the agreement.

The contract covers the 2026'2028 period and, per the packet, requires a 14-day approval period before execution. Administration said clerical corrections would be made prior to final signatures where typographical errors were found.
