ISSUE
The City of Rosemount and LELS Local #223 (Police Sergeants) have negotiated in good -faith and have
come to a tentative agreement.
BACKGROUND
Negotiations with the Law Enforcement Labor Services, Local #223, have been completed for a 2012
through 2013 contract. The Collective Bargaining Unit and City have reached a tentative agreement on the
following items:
Duration:
Two year contract: January 1, 2012 — December 31, 2013
Wages:
1% increase on January 1, 2012.
1% increase on January 1, 2013 and 1% increase on July 1, 2013.
Uniform Allowance:
Increase by $50.00 in 2012 and by an additional $50.00 in 2013.
Language Clarifications:
Language clarifications were needed in two places in the contract to reflect existing policies and practices.
Eligible employees currently participate in both of these, but the sergeant contract language had not been
updated in the past to reflect the actual practice and policy. There is no monetary impact from either
change.
1. ARTICLE 12 — SICK LEAVE
12.8 On January 1st and July 1st, only-of each year, employees may elect to sell accumulated sick
leave to the EMPLOYER if the employee's accumulated sick leave is in excess of sixty (60) days or
480 hours. This buyout provision will be computed by multiplying the number of hours being
sold times the employee's regular rate of pay times a conversion rate based upon the employee's
number of e ears of service. This conversion rate (or percentage) will be determined as follows:
Y � p g)
1 thru 5 years of service: 15% X rate X hours
6 thru 10 years of service: 30% X rate X hours
11 thru 15 years of service: 45% X rate X hours
16 years of service & above: 60% X rate X hours
*Employees from all four bargaining units, as well as non -union employees, are eligible to participate in this program.
2. APPENDIX A — WAGES
FIELD TRAINING OFFICER PAY
Employees while assigned by the Employer to the position of Field Training Officer shall be
paid for an additional hour at their current hourly rate per shift.
*Sergeants are not normally assigned as a Field Training Officer (F10) but in the occasional situation that they work in this
capacity, they do receive the compensation as noted above. This is also the pay formula that Police Officers receive in the PTO
assignment.
SUMMARY
Last week, LELS Local #223 voted and approved these contract changes. It is requested that Council
approve the labor agreement for the LELS Local #223 Collective Bargaining Unit for the years 2012
through 2013 and to authorize the necessary signatures.
