ATTACHMENTS: None APPROVED BY: LJM RECOMMENDED ACTION: Motion to Approve Wage Adjustments Increasing the Salary Ranges for Non-union Positions 3% Effective January 1, 2020 and a 3% Increase on January 1, 2021; Approve the Change in the VEBA/HSA Contribution. ISSUE Approval of Non-Union Position Salary Ranges for 2020 with an increase of 3% effective January 1, 2020 and a 3% increase on January 1, 2021 and of the change in the VEBA/HSA annual contribution. BACKGROUND Regular, full-time employees with the City of Rosemount fall into one of five groups: LELS Union (police patrol), LELS Supervisory Union (police sergeants), Teamsters Union (public works), AFSCME Union (general services) or non-union employees (supervisory or confidential positions). The pay adjustments for the four collective bargaining units are negotiated. On this evening’s agenda, the City Council is being asked to also approve the Teamsters and the AFSCME contracts. The proposed settlement provides for a 3% increase in wages on January 1, 2020 and a 3% increase on January 1, 2021. Change in VEBA/HSA Contribution Staff proposes increasing the VEBA/HSA annual contribution for nonunion employees from $585 to $635 annually; consistent with the AFSMCE and LELS contracts. Historically, the City has attempted to align with the other bargaining group’s settlements to keep the majority of personnel policies and contract language similar for consistency and administration of practices and policies. In addition, these employees work side-by-side with AFSCME union members and have the same basic work schedules, conditions, and benefits. RECOMMENDATION Staff recommends the Council approve the above-mentioned increase in wages for non-union employees, and the change in the VEBA/HSA contribution for non-union employees.
