Madison Council approves police labor agreement, adds tentative exhibit
Summary
Madison Village Council on Dec. 23 approved Ordinance No. 33-2024, adopting a labor agreement with the Ohio Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association and formally adding the tentative agreement as Exhibit 1; the suspension and final passage were unanimous on roll calls.
Madison Village Council voted Dec. 23 to approve Ordinance No. 33-2024, which adopts a labor agreement with the Ohio Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association. Law Director Szeman told the council the tentative agreement had not been in the packet because it was not available for a prior executive-session opportunity; Council then moved to amend the ordinance to add the tentative agreement as Exhibit 1 and approved the amendment, suspended the rules and passed the ordinance as amended, with each motion recorded as a 5-0 roll call.
The ordinance was introduced and quickly amended at the meeting to attach the tentative agreement for council review. Councilman Donaldson made the motion to amend and Mr. Vest seconded; Mr. Lee later moved for passage as amended and Mr. Adams seconded. Mayor Britton said he was "happy with the agreement." The council treated the measure as an emergency to allow immediate implementation.
The action finalizes the labor contract framework between the village and its sworn patrol staff; the ordinance packet note said the tentative agreement is labeled "Exhibit 1." The ordinance was presented and passed under the meeting's new-legislation procedure, with no public hearing recorded and no recorded roll-call opposition.
What happens next: the ordinance is effective as passed and staff will proceed with any administrative steps required to implement the agreement, including distribution of the agreement exhibit to council members and relevant personnel.
