Coon Rapids council adopts charter amendment ordinance, approves purchase agreement amendment and three labor agreements
Summary
Council unanimously adopted Ordinance 2648 amending charter sections, approved a purchase agreement amendment for 2831 113th Avenue NW, and adopted labor agreements with IAFF, Teamsters Local 320 and Police Captains with noted budget impacts for 2026–2027.
At its Feb. 17 meeting the Coon Rapids City Council took several procedural and personnel-related votes, including an ordinance amendment, a real-estate purchase-agreement amendment and three labor contracts.
The council unanimously adopted Ordinance 2648 amending City Charter Sections 1-505 and 1-511 and authorized summary publication. The council also approved a first amendment to a purchase agreement with Ibiza LLC for the property at 2831 113th Avenue NW.
On labor contracts, the council adopted Resolution 26-30 approving the 2026–2027 International Association of Firefighters (IAFF) agreement. City Manager Matt Stemwedel said the near-term fiscal change going into 2026 is about $124,000 and going into 2027 about $450,000, primarily reflecting the dissolution of the Fire Relief Association and benefit offsets.
Council also approved Resolution 26-31 for the 2026–2027 Teamsters Local 320 (Public Works) agreement with a cost change of about $193,000 in 2026 and about $220,000 in 2027, and Resolution 26-32 approving the 2026–2027 Police Captain labor agreement with an approximate $40,000 impact; Assistant City Manager/Human Resources Manager Lorie Roth noted a new policy regarding unused uniform allowance that arose from union discussions.
All motions for these items passed unanimously.
