Madelia council approves Union 160 contract with 4% annual raises for 2026–2028
Summary
The council approved the personnel committee’s recommendation for 'Union 160' contractual terms covering 2026–2028, adopting a 4% pay increase for each year and noting no other changes in the contract as transcribed.
The Madelia City Council approved the personnel committee’s recommendation for the contract terms covering 'Union 160' for 2026 through 2028.
Councilmembers recorded the committee recommendation and approved a 4% pay increase in each year of the three-year contract. The record reflects no other contract changes noted during the motion. The motion was moved, seconded and carried by voice vote.
Why it matters: The multi-year contract sets employee pay increases and affects municipal payroll planning and budgeting in coming years.
Details: The meeting transcript states "4% for each year" and that there were "no other changes." The official contract text should be consulted for precise language, effective dates and any negotiated provisions not read aloud at the meeting.
What’s next: City payroll and finance staff will need to implement the increases and reflect them in future budget documents; council minutes or the signed contract should be referenced for final, binding terms.
