Torrington council authorizes mayor to execute AFSCME contract retroactive to July 1, 2025
Summary
The Torrington City Council authorized the mayor to execute a four‑year AFSCME contract (Local 22‑12) covering City Hall employees for 07/01/2025–06/30/2029; council confirmed retroactivity and that funding is budgeted in department 44.
Torrington — The Torrington City Council voted Nov. 10 to authorize the mayor to execute and amend a union contract between the City of Torrington and Local 22‑12 of the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) covering City Hall employees for the period July 1, 2025, through June 30, 2029.
During the brief discussion, a councilor asked whether the contract would be retroactive to July 1; the presiding officer answered, "It will." Councilors also asked whether the retroactive costs were budgeted; staff said the funds had been held in department 44 and were accounted for in the budget books. With that confirmation, the motion to authorize the mayor to execute and amend the contract carried.
The action authorizes the mayor to sign and to make amendments consistent with the council's authorization; the council did not discuss specific monetary terms in detail during the public meeting other than confirming budgetary coverage.
