Committee recommends favorably several labor agreements; county estimates multimillion dollar impact
Summary
Committee advanced multiple collective bargaining agreements with AFSCME locals and the Deputy Sheriffs Association, covering cost‑of‑living and merit increases; staff estimated combined adverse fiscal impacts in the millions for FY25–26.
Staff summarized terms of multiple collective bargaining agreements before the committee: CB‑101 (AFSCME council 3 and affiliated locals) would grant a 3% cost‑of‑living adjustment in FY25, 2% in FY26 and merit increases, and was estimated to cost the county approximately $11,260,000 over FY25–26. Companion CR‑88 amends the salary plan to reflect the agreement.
Similarly, CB‑102 (Deputy Sheriffs Association civilian units) would provide 2% COLAs in 2025 and 2026 with merit increments; staff estimated the county impact at approximately $573,475 over FY25–26 for that agreement. CB‑104 and CR‑91 (school crossing guards) include varying COLA and minimum wage provisions; staff provided fiscal impact estimates for FY25–26 in the county’s packet.
Office of Law reviewed the agreements and found them in proper legislative form. Committee members moved favorable recommendations on the bargaining items; committee votes were recorded as favorable and the resolutions proceed as committee recommendations for full council action.
