Council approves tentative IAFF agreement after closed session, 7-1 roll call
Summary
Following a closed session, the council approved a tentative collective-bargaining agreement with the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF Local 102) covering 07/01/2026to06/30/2030; the motion passed by roll call 7 yes and 1 no.
After moving into closed session to discuss negotiations with IAFF Local 102, the Saginaw City Council returned and voted to approve a tentative agreement covering the contract period that commences July 1, 2026 and expires June 30, 2030.
A motion "to approve the tentative agreement between the city of Saginaw and the International Association of Fire Fighters" was made and seconded following the closed-session discussion. Council then completed a roll call vote that recorded seven yes votes and one no; the motion was approved. One council member said they did not have ample time to review certain matters but the majority voted to approve the tentative agreement. The council's action authorizes executing the tentative agreement and moving toward ratification steps outlined in the bargaining process.
Why it matters: The tentative agreement addresses firefighter wages, terms and conditions for the stated contract period; by approving the tentative deal the council completed the city's part of the approval process pending any required ratification steps by the union or further administrative actions.
