Committee approves MOA clarifying benefits for public utilities supervisors
Summary
The City of Brainerd Personnel & Finance Committee approved a memorandum of agreement clarifying that employee policy‑manual references to non‑union supervisors also apply to supervisors covered by the public utilities department CBA.
The City of Brainerd Personnel and Finance Committee on Nov. 3 approved a memorandum of agreement (MOA) clarifying how the employee policy manual applies to supervisors covered by the public utilities department collective bargaining agreement.The MOA, drafted by the city attorney and approved by the union, specifies that where the employee policy manual references "non‑union supervisors," those provisions will also apply to supervisors covered by the CBA for the public utilities department, resolving an inconsistency between the employee policy manual and the newly signed union contract.Staff said the union requested a formal MOA after noticing items such as work schedules, insurance, and health‑savings‑plan contributions were not explicitly addressed for union supervisors under the manual. Committee chair Gabe Johnson called for a motion to approve the MOA; members moved, seconded and approved the motion by voice vote.The committee recorded no roll‑call tally in the meeting transcript; approval was noted by members saying "I."
