Council authorizes mayor to sign multi-year union wage contract; approves audit payment
Summary
Bloomfield Council authorized the mayor to sign a union wage contract covering FY26–FY29 with a 4% first-year raise followed by 3% increases in subsequent years, affecting 17 employees; the council also approved an $8,750 invoice for the FY24 audit.
Bloomfield — The Bloomfield City Council authorized the mayor to sign a multi-year union wage contract covering fiscal years 2026 through 2029 and approved payment of the municipality’s FY24 audit invoice.
City staff described the union contract as a four-percent wage increase in the first year followed by three-percent increases in years two through four (4%, then 3%, 3%, 3%). The presenter told the council the agreement reflects negotiations between the union committee and the union and that it was intended to help address increased costs.
Council noted the contract affects 17 employees. The council voted to authorize mayoral signature on the contract during the meeting.
The council also approved invoice #71352 to Anders AR in the amount of $8,750 as the second-half payment toward the FY24 annual audit; staff said the audit is complete and has been sent to the state for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2024.
Why it matters: The contract sets employee compensation increases for multiple fiscal years and will affect payroll budgeting; the audit payment completes the municipal audit process for FY24.
What’s next: Staff will finalize the contract paperwork for mayoral signature and incorporate the contract increases into budgeting and payroll schedules. The audit payment was approved and the audit has been transmitted to state authorities as required.
