Council approves labor agreement and county employee pay adjustments; CR 90 estimated to cost $3.39M
Summary
The council adopted a series of labor and compensation measures, including a collective-bargaining agreement for Prince George's County Police Civilian Employees (CB 78/CR 70) and general-schedule COLA (CR 90), with the committee estimating a FY2025 fiscal impact of about $3,385,028 for salary-schedule G changes.
Prince George's County Council members on Oct. 29 approved multiple labor and compensation measures that implement recently negotiated terms for county employees and civilian police staff.
The council enacted CB 78, approving a labor agreement by and between Prince George's County and the Prince George's County Police Civilian Employees Association; the accompanying resolution (CR 70) amends the county salary plan to reflect the agreement's terms. Committee reporting recorded 1.5% cost‑of‑living adjustments for covered employees effective Jan. 26, 2025, and a 2% adjustment in FY2026, along with merit increases described in committee materials.
Relatedly, CR 90 — adjusting the county's general schedule (salary schedule G) — was reported to take effect retroactive to July 1, 2024, and committee staff estimated an adverse fiscal impact for FY2025 of approximately $3,385,028. Committee reports and the office of human resources indicated the drafts had been updated to reflect a one‑year agreement and technical amendments. After committee discussion and substitution of draft language where needed, the council voted to adopt the measures; recorded votes were unanimous where indicated.
County staff told the council the office of management and budget had requested favorable consideration and that the office of law found the measures in proper legislative form. The actions place cost estimates on the council's near‑term fiscal planning and will be reflected in upcoming budget work for FY2025.
