Council approves proposed police and fire contract changes after executive session
Summary
After an executive session on collective bargaining, the council voted to accept proposed changes to the Fraternal Order of Police CBA (contingent on FOP approval of new Article 42 language) and separately approved proposed changes to the IAFF Local 3567 contract for the 2026-27 fiscal year.
Council convened an executive session to discuss collective bargaining with two public-safety unions and, after returning to open session, approved motions to accept proposed contract language changes.
On the police side, council moved to accept the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 11699s proposed changes to the city99s collective bargaining agreement for fiscal 2026-27 "contingent on approval of the FOP approving the revised language to the newly added Article 42," a motion the council approved on roll call. The council then approved the fire union99s proposed changes to its collective bargaining agreement for the same fiscal year.
Each motion passed on recorded roll-call votes. No specific wage, benefit, or Article 42 text was read into the record at this meeting; the council99s action was limited to approving the city99s acceptance of union-proposed changes as described on the agenda.
Why it matters: Collective bargaining changes can affect wages, staffing and municipal budgets; council action advances negotiations and sets conditions for final union approvals.
What99s next: The police motion was explicitly contingent on the FOP99s internal approval of Article 42 language; both unions must complete their internal approval processes and the city must finalize any implementing documents.
