Title
Resolution to Approve the 2006-2009 Ann Arbor Police Officers Association Collective Bargaining Agreement (8 Votes Required)
Memorandum
Human Resources Services recommends approval of the attached Resolution to approve the 2006-2009 Ann Arbor Police Officers Association (AAPOA) Collective Bargaining Agreement.
The City and the AAPOA, through negotiation and state-mandated binding arbitration pursuant to Act 312 have reached a new collective bargaining agreement for the July 1, 2006-June 30, 2009 period. Highlights of the new agreement include:
? Effective April 1, 2009, a redesigned health care plan which adds deductibles of $250.00 single and $500.00 family per year with increased co-payments for office visits and chiropractic services and cost differentiation between brand and generic drugs with mandatory mail order for maintenance drugs and a pro-rated $500.00 HRA deposit for the 2008-2009 contract year for each active employee, as well as a $500.00 per member health care bonus for low health care utilization for the July 1, 2006-June 30, 2007 period;
? A 2.5% wage increase, effective July 1, 2006;
? A 1.75% wage increase effective July 1, 2007;
? A 1.25% wage increase effective January 1, 2008;
? A 3.0% wage increase effective July 1, 2008;
? Effective February 24, 2009, a wage structure change will be made to increase the educational bonus for members who have obtained an associate’s degree;
? A reduction in certain double time overtime payments to time and one half;
The cost of the contract settlement for the three year period is expected not to exceed $1.6 million, however, the City has included only $927,000 in the fiscal 2009 General Fund budget for pay contingencies and therefore, an additional $673,000 will need to be appropriated from the General Fund fund balance to increase the Safety Services expenditure budget from fiscal year 2009.
