Staff says two resolutions needed to set employee pension rates as police CBA remains unsettled
Summary
Speakers described two proposed resolutions: one to set a fleet-related pension contribution at 0% until a police collective bargaining agreement (CBA) is executed, and a second to set non-uniform employee contributions at 3%; no vote outcome is recorded in the transcript.
Unidentified Speaker 2 said the body must pass two separate resolutions today to set employee pension contribution rates because the police collective bargaining agreement for the year is not yet finalized. "The first ... sets your form to be at 0 until a CBA is executed," the speaker said, and described a second resolution that "sets [non-uniform pension] at 3%, which is currently established for our employees."
The speaker explained the accepted target contribution rate is 5% and said the non-uniform employees currently contribute about 3%. "Because it's not the 5%, we need to block these references," the speaker added, noting the body needs legal coverage now and can adopt a subsequent resolution if the negotiated CBA changes the agreed rates.
Unidentified Speaker 1 clarified there is no conflict between the two motions and characterized them as procedural complements: "But there's nothing conflicting between either motion." The transcript records no motion text, no mover or seconder, and no vote tally or formal outcome.
The transcript also includes brief operational notes: staff are processing pavilion rentals and the meetings are being recorded on video. A phrase in the transcript referring to the resolution wording was unclear; the speaker said the resolution "outlines the timeline" but the exact resolution number or formal ordinance/resolution identifiers were not stated clearly in the record.
Next steps described in the transcript were procedural: the resolutions were presented for passage to meet a legal requirement today, and, if the eventual CBA alters contribution terms, the body would adopt a replacement resolution to match the negotiated contract.
