Following an executive session on personnel matters related to collective bargaining, the Lucas County Board of Commissioners approved economic reopener agreements that affect multiple bargaining units and non‑bargaining employees.
Bridal Cunningham asked the board to enter executive session to discuss collective bargaining and compensation. After the board returned to open session, staff presented the negotiated terms for several AFSCME bargaining units (Local 54401 main unit for Job & Family Services; Local 54402 security unit for Job & Family Services; Local 54403 technical/services unit; Local 54404 child support enforcement unit). The agreements provide for a 3% increase to base wages effective Jan. 1, 2026, and a $500 one‑time lump sum payment.
Commissioners also approved a parallel 3% increase and $500 one‑time lump sum for non‑bargaining employees under the appointing authority of the board. The approvals were recorded by roll call.
The board did not provide additional implementation details in public session; departments will administer increases consistent with collective‑bargaining terms and county payroll procedures.
