AFSCME contract ratified by union; city to process emergency ordinance for back pay
Summary
City legal counsel and the city manager told council the union ratified a labor contract; staff prepared an emergency ordinance to process the agreement and back pay within a 30-day statutory window.
Law Director Costa Mastros and City Manager Michael Johnson informed council that the AFSCME (recorded in the minutes as ASCME) bargaining unit ratified a contract. Mastros said the city has received the materials and prepared the necessary ordinance language. Johnson said the contract takes effect unless council acts within a 30-day window and staff intends to present an emergency-level ordinance to approve the contract and allow back pay for affected employees.
Mastros said he had prepared the ordinance and staff will circulate the redline and executive summary to council. The matter will require formal council action in a public session consistent with applicable procedures.
