Agenda Item Brief: The City of Sparks and the Sparks Fire Chief Officers Unit have reached a tentative agreement on contract changes for the July 1, 2012 to June 30, 2013 contract period. This agenda item is requesting consideration and approval of this agreement.
Background: The City of Sparks, Nevada, enters into labor agreements with its various bargaining units. The City of Sparks (City) and Sparks Fire Chief Officers Unit (Unit) entered into a multi-year agreement (amended) through June 30, 2012. The parties began meeting early 2012, and continued to metto discuss the terms and conditions of the agreement. The bargaining agreement proposed today is the result of those meetings, and will cover the period July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013. The City and the Unit believe the attached agreement fairly represents a good faith effort to reach agreement on labor issues related to this multi-year agreement involving wage rates and benefits. Both negotiating teams are positively recommending ratification/approval of the proposed agreement by their respective authorizing bodies.
Analysis: The changes made to the agreement are organizational and language clean up only. There are no substantive changes to the agreement.
Alternatives: 1. The Council may choose to approve the proposed bargaining agreement as outlined by staff. 2. The Council may choose not to approve the proposed bargaining agreement as outlined by staff. 3. The Council may choose not to approve the proposed bargaining agreement as outlined by staff and direct staff toward another alternative.
Recommended Motion: I move to approve the bargaining agreement between the City of Sparks and the Sparks Fire Chief Officers unit for the contract period of July 1, 2012 through June 30, 2013.
