Council Should Consider
Motions to approve, table, or deny the following:
• 2024 Collective Bargaining Agreement with the International Union of Operating
Engineers Local 49.
Background
Representatives of City Staff and the International Union of Operating Engineers (IUOE) Local
49 have reached a tentative agreement pending Council approval on the 2024 Collective
Bargaining Agreement (CBA). IUOE 49 represents the City’s maintenance workers and is made
up of eight employees. The current contract expires at the end of this year, and over the past few
months representatives have been negotiating a new contract. The City intends to start a
compensation study in early 2024, as a result, Staff and Union reps are proposing a one year
contract to get us through 2024, and start new negotiations next year on a three-year contract,
which will take the compensation study into consideration.
The proposal for Council to consider is keeping all of the existing language the same, with the
exception of the following changes:
CONSENT ITEM – 2A
MEMORANDUM

Wages
The two sides have negotiated a market adjustment of $2.00 across the Union’s pay tables and a
three-percent COLA. The current and proposed pay rates can be found below:
Step 2023 Hourly Rate 2024 Proposed Hourly Rate
1 26.10$ 28.94$
2 27.38$ 30.26$
3 28.72$ 31.64$
4 30.12$ 33.08$
5 31.59$ 34.60$
6 33.14$ 36.19$
Health Insurance
The Union members will receive $1,284 monthly towards their insurance premiums. This
equates to approximately eighty-seven percent of their premium, which is what the City pays
today.
Union Training Center
The City will increase its contribution to the training center by $.05, from $.25 to $.30, per hour.
Juneteenth
Juneteenth will be added to the holiday calendar.
All MOU’s will be updated for 2024.
For reference, the previous contract is attached.
Budget Impact
The budget impact of these changes are mostly accounted for in the 2024 budget; the budgeted
market adjustment was $1.50, the additional $.50 will result in approximately a $10,000 increase
to the approved budget, with about half hitting the General Fund. The insurance increase should
not negatively affect the 2024 budget, and the training center increase will result in an increase
of $832, again about half hitting the General Fund. Staff believes that these costs can be
absorbed into the 2024 budget.
