Waterville council approves AFSCME labor agreement with wording change to 'earned safe and sick leave'
Summary
The Waterville City Council approved an AFSCME labor agreement replacing the phrase "sick leave" with "earned safe and sick leave." The vote was recorded as carried; the meeting record contains inconsistencies about who seconded the motion and the roll-call tally, which the minutes note.
At a special meeting April 9, the Waterville City Council approved a labor agreement with the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees (AFSCME) that replaces the phrase "sick leave" with "earned safe and sick leave." Administrator Teresa Hill presented the agreement and its single wording change.
Council member Dave Wollin moved to approve the agreement with the language change. The meeting record lists the motion as seconded by "Smith" and as carried 3-0. The record also shows Tim Smith marked absent on roll call; the minutes therefore contain a discrepancy about who seconded the motion. The minutes do not resolve that inconsistency.
The council did not discuss additional terms of the agreement on the record; no public comments on the labor agreement were noted. The meeting adjourned at 6:22 p.m.
Votes at a glance - Approval of meeting agenda: motion recorded as carried 3-0 (moved by Dave Wollin; seconded by Scott Potter). - AFSCME labor agreement (language change to "earned safe and sick leave"): motion recorded as carried 3-0 (mover recorded as Dave Wollin; the transcript lists the seconder as "Smith," but Smith was marked absent on the roll call). - Adjournment: motion recorded as carried (transcript lists 5-0); the roll-call attendance earlier in the minutes shows one member absent, so the recorded tally is inconsistent with the attendance list.
