Council approves tentative police contract after closed-door bargaining session
Summary
The Taylor City Council voted to enter a closed session on collective bargaining with the Taylor Police Officers Labor Association and, after returning to open session, approved a tentative agreement reached with the union.
The Taylor City Council voted to go into a closed-door session to discuss collective bargaining with the Taylor Police Officers Labor Association and then approved a tentative agreement after the meeting resumed. The council announced the move to private session after a recorded 6–0 vote to close discussion to the public. "We have 6 yes votes to go in a closed door session," the chair said before recessing.
After returning at 7:18 p.m., council members voted to approve a tentative agreement between the city and Local 19. The mayor introduced the bargaining items and the motion was supported and carried without extended public discussion. The agreement and its specific terms were not read into the public record during the open session; council members indicated the tentative deal followed the closed-session bargaining that had just concluded. The council did not provide financial or substantive terms for the agreement during the resumed meeting.
