% . . ..... :...:... . %�., Date: 9/15/03 Item #: X1, C. Department Approval: Manager Approved: Agenda Section. 7� � Consent Item Description 2003 Sergeants/Teamsters Contract Terms Background As you will recall, in July staff' presented a 2 year contract for 2003 -2004 for the Police Sergeants. The Council declined accepting this contract due of concern about 2004 wage offer of % adjustment talus a 1% Stanton V adjustment, for a total of 3% for 2004. At an executive session held on Tuesday 8126/03 Council directed staff to offer the Teamsters a 2-3% adjustment for the 2004 year. This offer was made to the Steward on 8/29 and declined. The Steward during this meeting confirmed that the unit would like to accept the 2003 portion of the offer and move forward with a one year contract. That offer was part of the presentation to Council in July and is as follows. The City of Roseville has three collective bargaining units. This Report deals with the Police Sergeants. There are 7 city employees in the Teamsters' bargaining unit. These employees directly supervise the activities of the police officers and ethers in their areas of assigned duty for the Police Department. Although wages are provided in five different plans to various- 0ty employees, the City maintains a policy of parity for all employees. According to the philosophy, comparable wages and benefits are consistently provided to the five employee groups. In addition, the City benchmarks itself with comparable municipalities (Stanton Cities). The Stanton Group has contracted with the League of NIN Cities for the last 34 years to conduct an analysis of metro area county and city wage and benefits trends. Once the data is compiled it is analyzed, entered and printed in the books that each contracting city member receives. There were 109 participating jurisdictions in oo covering 105 jobs within 15 job famihes. This method of research and comparison is more efficient than having each county and city duplicating these efforts. Thus each job. r classification is looked at separately across many cities to determine what comparable cities and counties are doing and whether any "Stanton adjustment" is appropriate for that job classification.
