Bill Petracek, Lexington city administrator, informed the City Council at its Jan. 15 meeting that all three police unions have filed for mediation.
Petracek delivered the update during the administrator-input portion of the agenda; the transcript records only that he “informed the City Council that all three police unions have filed for mediation” and that discussion followed. The identities of the unions, the issues in mediation, filing dates, and any timeline for negotiations were not specified in the public remarks included in the record.
Council members did not take a formal vote on the report. The council subsequently moved into a closed session later in the meeting to discuss personnel matters under the Minnesota Open Meeting Law, Minnesota Statutes § 13D.05, subdivision 2(a)(3). The closed-session motion carried earlier in the evening and the council reconvened in open session at 8:31 p.m.
No further public details on the mediation filings or next steps were provided in the meeting transcript.
