City Council adopts four‑year IBEW Local 1245 contract with labor‑market adjustments
Summary
The Roseville City Council approved a four‑year successor memorandum of understanding with IBEW Local 1245 covering 218 positions. Key terms include differentiated labor‑market targets (75th percentile for electric roles, 55th for utilities/public works), labor‑market adjustments effective April 18, 2026, and an estimated four‑year cost of about $13.2 million (enterprise funds).
Stacy Peterson, Roseville’s human resources director, told the council the city reached a tentative agreement with the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 1245 on March 31, 2026, covering 218 full‑time positions across the electric, environmental utilities and public‑works departments.
Peterson said the successor memorandum of understanding runs four years, through April 30, 2030, and uses two compensation strategies: total compensation for electric department employees will be targeted at the 75th percentile of the market, while environmental utilities and public‑works classifications will be targeted at the 55th percentile. Year‑one labor‑market adjustments are effective April 18, 2026, with annual adjustments planned in years two through four to maintain the targeted percentiles.
The agreement includes nonwage provisions the city highlighted: increased boot allowances ($75 for safety boots, $150 for specialized climbing boots with a 3% annual adjustment), four additional job classes eligible for new certifications, expansion of the double‑overtime window (5 p.m. to 6 a.m., excluding shift extensions), a reduction in the compensated time off cap from 160 to 145 hours, and supplemental military pay protections capped at $20,000 per employee for up to six months if staff are involuntarily called to active duty.
On fiscal impact, Peterson said the FY2025–26 cost is estimated at $577,000 and that the full compounded four‑year cost is roughly $13.2 million. She noted there is no impact to the city’s general fund; costs are borne by enterprise funds, and year‑to‑year labor‑market adjustments will be presented to council prior to implementation.
After brief council questions, a motion to adopt the resolution approving the successor MOU and an urgency ordinance to implement the salary schedules was moved, seconded and approved by roll call.
The council approved the MOU by voice/roll call; the staff report and adopted ordinance set the labor‑market adjustments into the attached salary schedules effective April 18, 2026.
