Committee forwards four labor‑related ordinances including executive compensation and apprenticeship amendment
Summary
The committee advanced four items — two MEA MOUs (police and fire), an ordinance fixing compensation for unrepresented employees, and an apprenticeship amendment to the Local 1414 MOU — sending them to the Board as committee reports with positive recommendations.
On June 4 the Government Audit and Oversight Committee heard presentations from the Department of Human Resources on four labor‑related ordinances (items 5 through 8) and voted to forward them to the full Board as committee reports.
Artis Graham, Employee Relations Director at DHR, described the Management Executives Association (MEA) contracts for police and fire, noting a series of pay increases and a change to merit pay so that police and fire chiefs will participate in the city’s management compensation and performance program (MCCP). Graham said the package included retention funding and a new step for commander ranks to assist promotions and help retain qualified officers.
Graham also summarized an ordinance aligning pay for about 92 full‑time unrepresented employees with miscellaneous bargaining units and described a side letter amending apprenticeship rules in the Local 1414 MOU so apprentices remain in a single department while learning necessary skills.
There was no public comment on items 5–8. Chair Sherrill moved to forward the four ordinances as committee reports; Vice Chair Mahmood and Chair Sherrill voted "aye" and the items were forwarded to the Board as committee reports.
