The agreement includes a $500 signing incentive for active members who ratify the contract prior to its expiration. Staff said the village will pay for first-issue uniform equipment and body armor, will maintain an $800 uniform allowance (the rollover was eliminated), and updated contract language addresses call-in processes, detective shift trades and sick-time use for funeral leave.
Staff also described an expansion of residency eligibility to include Kenosha, Racine, Milwaukee, Walworth, Waukesha, Lake and McHenry counties to broaden lateral hiring opportunities.
A board member moved to approve the collective bargaining agreement; the motion was seconded and carried by voice vote.
What’s next: The agreement will be implemented per its effective dates; staff will notify the association and update payroll and human-resources systems.
