1 <br />2 <br />z <br />REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION <br />7 Item Description: <br />Date: 1/24/11 <br />Item No.: 7. h <br />City Manager Approval <br />Approve Terms of 2011 Local 49 Maintenance Wo ontract <br />The City of Roseville has four collective bargaining units, the Police Sergeants, Teamsters; <br />Police, LELS; Maintenance Workers, IUOE Local 49; and the fulltime Firefighters, IAFF. <br />There are no settlements for 2011 yet. <br />This report pertains to the 49ers. There are 28 city employees in the 49ers' bargaining unit. <br />They perform a variety of maintenance duties in the Public Works and the Parks and Recreation <br />Departments. The City and the union have been negotiating since November 20 10 as the contract <br />expired on December 31, 2010. <br />Although staff wages are currently under five different plans, the City maintains a policy of <br />internal parity for all employees. According to this policy, comparable cost of living increases <br />and benefits would be consistently provided to these five employee groups. In addition, the City <br />benchmarks itself with comparable municipalities. According to comparable municipalities, the <br />20 10 wages for this unit are at the average after taking into account the I% COLA increase that <br />this group received on December 31, 20 10. The Council did approve an increase of I% for non- <br />union employees in 2011 which this group was awarded in December as part of their 20 10 <br />contract. <br />City staff and union members from Local 49 have met and found common ground for a <br />settlement on a one year contract. The membership voted to accept the contract terms on <br />January 18, 2011 with implementation upon Council approval and effective I / I / 11. The <br />following are the agreement terms: <br />Dim 6=4 <br />1. CONTRACT DURATION: <br />);;; Tenn of I year from 1/1/11 - 12/31/11 <br />
