REQUEST FOR COUNCIL ACTION Date: 519105 Item #: 3 . g Department Approval: Manager Approved: Agenda Section: Consent L-� � r --- - � �� `�� _ Item Description: Collective Bargaining Agreement with International Union of Operating Engineers, Loca149, and Authorize an Additional l% COLA Effective July 1,2005 Back�round In December, Council agreed to all proposed union contract items other than the COLA for 2005. During this meeting, Council passed a COLA to be set for all City staff at 2% for the 2005 calendar year. Since this time, City staff and Union members from Local 49 have met in mediation unsuccessfully on several occasions to try to find common ground for a settlement on this issue. Recently, Council gave direction to offer all staff an additional 1% COLA, to be effective 711105, in hopes of resolving all City labor contracts. This 1% additional COLA effective 711105 would be on top of the 2% COLA that has been in place since 111105. Update City staff has since made this offer to all union groups. The City of Roseville has three collective bargaining units. This report deals with the 49ers proposed contract agreement for 2005 -2006 and non-union city staf£ There are 28 city employees in the 49ers' bargaining unit. They perform a variety of maintenance work in the Public Works and the Parks and Recreation Departments. The new offer has been accepted by vote of the 49ers to resolve the 2005-2006 bargaining agreement. The Police Sergeants (Teamsters) and the Police Officers (LELS) are still pending for 2005 contracts and beyond. The LELS unit is set to go to arbitration in June but they are currently taking a vote on the new COLA offer proposed by Council. The Sergeants group is still at the negotiations stage of the contract process but will likely follow the outcome of the LELS contract.
