Benzie County authorizes wage reopeners for multiple bargaining units, effective Oct. 1
Summary
The board authorized Letters of Agreement with several bargaining units that affirm a wage increase beginning Oct. 1, 2023. The minutes record authorization but do not specify the wage percentage or amount.
The Benzie County Board of Commissioners authorized Letters of Agreement with multiple bargaining units on Sept. 12 that affirm a wage increase beginning Oct. 1, 2023.
Motion by Commissioner Cunningham, seconded by Commissioner Sauer, authorized Letters of Agreement with the Command Officers Association of Michigan (Corrections Command Unit, Road Command Unit), the Police Officers Association of Michigan (Corrections Unit), the Emergency Communications Specialist Unit, and the Emergency Medical Services Unit. The board approved the authorization by roll call vote with all present voting yes.
The minutes state only that a wage increase is affirmed to begin Oct. 1, 2023; they do not specify the percentage, range, or dollar amount of the raise. The item was approved subject to the execution of the Letters of Agreement and the chair's signature.
Next steps: human resources and county administration will finalize and execute the Letters of Agreement with the respective bargaining units. Specific dollar amounts or percentage changes were not recorded in the public minutes and will need to be referenced in the signed agreements.
