The committee moved a package of collective‑bargaining MOUs (items 3–27) to the full Board with positive recommendation after Human Resources Director Mickey Callahan said multiple unions ratified tentative agreements, including SEIU at 94%; terms include a 3% increase each year for two years and a safety‑net provision in year two.
