Meeting Date: November 27, 2023 Type of Business: Consent Agenda Administrator Review To: Honorable Mayor and City Council From: Rayla Sue Ewald, Human Resource Director Item Title/Subject: Resolution 9825, Approving a Memorandum of Understanding Between the City of Mounds View and the Public Works Collective Bargaining Unit for a 2023 Wage Agreement in the 2023 to 2025 Contract Introduction: Administrative staff began negotiations with the Public Works Bargaining Unit over a year ago without reaching complete resolution on all items within the Collective Bargaining Agreement. The City has made a good faith offer on wages for the Public Works recognized positions of Maintenance Worker, Arborist, Mechanic, Lead, and Senior Lead. Discussion: Public Works Bargaining Unit staff have been paid 2022 wages and working off their 2020 — 2022 Collective Bargaining Agreement. Administrative staff presented, and the Bargaining Unit accepted, wage rates noted on Attachment 1, reflecting rates for 2023, 2024, and 2025. The HR Committee is in agreement with the suggested rate increases. At this time, staff would like to request Council approve the Memorandum of Understanding, which will approve the Public Works Unit wage increases for 2023. Staff intends to return to Council prior to year-end with the finalized 2023-2025 Collective Bargaining Agreement. Strategic Plan Strategy/Goal: This addresses the City Council goal to create a culture where employees desire to work and remain employed with Mounds View. Financial Impact: Budgeted item. Recommendation: Staff recommends approval of Resolution 9825, Approve a Public Works Memorandum of Understanding for 2023 Wages Payable to the Public Works Collective Bargaining Agreement in the 2023 — 2025 Contract. Sincerely, Rayla Sue Ewald Human Resource Director Attachments: • Resolution 9825 • Exhibit 1 The Mounds View Vision A Thriving Desirable Community
