<br />Item No: 08D <br />Meeting Date: Oct 25, 2010 <br />Type of Business: Consent <br />Administrator Review : ____ <br />City of Mounds View Staff Report <br />To: Honorable Mayor and City Council <br />From: James Ericson, City Administrator <br />Item Title/Subject: Resolution 7688 Approving a One-Year Labor Contract with <br />Law Enforcement Labor Services, Inc. (LELS ) Local No. <br />232 <br /> <br />Introduction: <br /> <br />The City and LELS No. 204 (Sergeants) began negotiations for the 2010-2011 labor <br />agreement in 2009. The two parties eventually reached an impasse in negotiations and <br />scheduled a mediation session. The mediation did not result in a settled contract thus <br />arbitration was scheduled. Prior to the arbitration with LELS Local 232, the LELS Local <br />204 arbitration was decided on September 29, 2010. <br /> <br />Discussion: <br /> <br />Upon receipt of the ruling for the LELS Local 204, The City discussed options with <br />representation from Local 232. Rather than incurring the shared cost of arbitration, LELS <br />232 agreed to accept the same terms as arbitrated by LELS 204, in return for dropping all <br />other outstanding issues in 2010. The City Council was amenable to this resolution. <br /> <br />Thus, the proposed labor agreement with LELS 232 would be for one year, effective <br />January 1, 2010, with the only change being an increase of the monthly health care <br />contribution from $822.20 to $867.33, retroactively effective January 1, 2010. <br /> <br />Recommendation: <br /> <br />Approve Resolution 7688 which approves a one-year labor agreement for LELS Local 232 <br />(Sergeants) increasing the health care contribution to $867.33, effective January 1, 2010. <br /> <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />________________________ <br />James Ericson <br />City Administrator <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />
