Traverse County approves tentative AFSCME agreement pending legal review
Summary
The commission voted to approve the AFSCME union agreement subject to legal review and authorized Chair Jerrel Olson to sign the finalized document; the meeting was briefly closed for labor negotiation strategy under Minnesota Statute 13D.03.
The Traverse County Commission voted March 4 to approve a tentative collective bargaining agreement with AFSCME subject to legal review. Commissioner Dwight Nelson made the motion to approve the AFSCME union agreement and to authorize Chair Jerrel Olson to sign the final document once legal review is complete; the motion passed unanimously.
Earlier in the meeting the board closed the meeting for a discussion of labor negotiation strategy under Minnesota Statute 13D.03 (motion by Chad Metz, second by Kayla Schmidt) and then reopened before conducting the vote. The minutes record the approval as subject to legal review rather than as a final signed contract.
