� � Request for Council Action Date: July 15,2002 Item Number: VIIL L. Department Approval Manager Approval Agenda Section Consent Item Description: � 2002 Law Enforcement Legal Services- LELS Partial Contract Terms Back r.°�: The City of Roseville maintains five wage systems with three collective bargaining units (Law Enforcement Labor Services, Teamsters and International Engineering Operators Union) and the exempt and non-exempt groups. Although wages are provided in five different plans, the City maintains a policy of parity for a11 employees. According to the philosophy, comparablewages and benefits are consistently provided to the five employee groups. In addition, the City benchmarks itselfwith comparable municipalities. The City has yet to settle its contract for the 2002 year with LELS or the Teamsters. During a mediation meeting last week all parties representing the LELS and the City were able to come to an understanding on all but one contract item ( Insurance Article XVIII) for the 2002 contract. The dispute being language for a SO% clause protecting against potential premium increases for the followingyear. Since agreement has been reached on all other contract items, as a good faith measure the City and the LELS wish to put this partial contract into place and only focus arbitration (if necessary) on the one open issue of Insurance language. It is thus recommended that the following LELS contract items be approved for the 2002 calendaryear contract effective January 1, 2002 : 1. Wages will increase 3. 75 percent. 2. The Longevity Pay schedule will increase 3. 75 percent. 3. The Educational Incentive Pay will increase 3. 75 percent. 4. The Uniform Allowance Pay will increase 3.75 percent. 5. SpecialistPay will adjust to $190 per month. 6. No other changes to be made to the e�sting Labor Agreement except the provisions of Article XVIII Insurance either by mutual agreement of the parties or by interest arbitration.
