| | | A new collective bargaining agreement with the Metropolitan Alliance of Police, Arlington Heights Police Chapter #510 is attached for approval. This new agreement was reached utilizing the Interest Based Bargaining (IBB) process, which we have been using since 2014. Both sides again found the IBB process to be a significant improvement over traditional collective bargaining. The new agreement is for three years, with an expiration date of December 31, 2022. This Agreement has been ratified by the Police Officers.
Due to the fact that this is a very mature contract and that the parties have a long history of working together, there were very few changes from the previous contract. We cleaned up language related to permanent shifts, shift bidding, and vacation scheduling.
The parties agreed to salary schedule adjustments of 2.5% effective January 1, 2020, 2.3% effective January 1, 2021, and 2.25% effective January 1, 2022. In addition, the parties agreed to an increase in the employee’s contribution towards insurance, moving it from 12% to 14% effective January 1, 2022, an additional paid holiday, and an increase in the equipment allowance.
If any Board member has any questions at the meeting about the contract, a Closed Session should be requested for the purpose of discussing collective bargaining matters.
RECOMMENDATION
It is recommended that the Village Board approve the attached Ordinance Approving an Agreement between the Village of Arlington Heights and the Metropolitan Alliance of Police, Arlington Heights Police Chapter #510. |
