CHRONOWGY OF INCREASES IN BENEFITS
POLICE SAFETY EMPWYEES
From 1988 to 1994
Background
Since December, 1988, the Police Safety Employees have had two contracts, one MOU for the
period December 1, 1988 through November 30, 1991, and one imposed contract terms and
conditions for the period December 1, 1991 through November 30, 1992.
The City Team and the POA have had eight (8) negotiations sessions to try to reach agreement
on a new MOU. The POA has not been back to the table since March 1994. On July 20, 1994,
the POA called the Personnel Department and requested to return to the bargaining table. The
benefits provided under the current contract terms and conditions remain in effect, until a new
MOU is approved by the Mayor and Common Council.

Today, August 10, 1994, the pOlice department was confronted with
a jOb action. This action follows a verbal declaration of impasse
by the Police Officer's Association as of the bargaining session
which took place yesterday, August 9, 1994.
In February of 1992 the Mayor and Council imposed a contract on the
POA. The imposed terms and conditions significantly enhanced
police benefits as noted on the salmon colored handout.
Between February 1992 and August 1994, there were only ten
negotiation sessions. There were significant gaps in negotiations
during that period, but all gaps were at the request of the POA.
After a fifth negotiating session in July 1993, the POA and city
were very close to agreement but the council did not immediately
approve the contract. Before the council had a chance to meet, the
POA attorney took the position the city had a final contract.
Returning to the bargaining table, the POA then changed their
position and said we did not have a contract.
Negotiations broke down somewhat but nevertheless, the Mayor and
Council upped their authorization for benefits. Three more sessions
were held in 1993.
A 9th bargaining session was held March 1, 1994. At that session,
significant benefit increases were offered but the POA and city
could not reach agreement. During the budget, the Mayor and
Council set aside additional monies (more than had been offered to
date) and gave authorization to the city team to increase benefits
offered to the POA.
In July, 1994, the Personnel Department received notice of a change
in the POA bargaining team and requested another session.
The new bargaining team met with the city team on August 9, 1994.
The city team informed the POA that the Mayor and Council had upped
the benefits since the March 1 meeting and asked for specific
counter-proposals from the POA. without submitting a single
counter proposal, the POA declared impasse. This occurred within
two hours of the new POA team's first meeting at the bargaining
table.
It should be noted that the POA left a significant amount of money
on the table. This money is for benefits only, because raises are
automatic through Charter Section 186. It is anticipated that
POA members will receive an automatic salary increase ranging from
4.08 to 5.4% this month. A comparison of salary adjustments is
available for your information.
