Coos Bay approves three-year police contract covering fiscal years 2025–2027
Summary
Council ratified a negotiated three-year collective bargaining agreement with the Coos Bay Police Officers Association after mediation; the agreement includes a 4% COLA assumption, a 1% dispatch-supervisor increase and longevity-scale modifications.
City management presented a negotiated three-year collective bargaining agreement with the Coos Bay Police Officers Association covering fiscal years 2025 through 2027. The contract followed months of bargaining and mediation; staff described the document as a middle-ground agreement that fits within the budgeted assumptions.
Key elements described by the city manager included an assumed 4% cost-of-living adjustment consistent with other city employees, a 1% increase for dispatch supervisors (to reflect increased workload as county dispatch services are transitioned), and modifications to the longevity pay scale. Management indicated the agreement generally aligns with what was budgeted for the upcoming fiscal period.
Councilor (speaker 10) moved to approve the negotiated and union‑ratified agreement and authorized the city manager to sign on behalf of the city; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.
