Under the 1986 contract, those Fire Department members covered, and who are eligible for longevity, will receive increases in total compensation .ranging from 3.27 to 4.2%. This is in the form of an increase in salary which varies by rank, one additional, holiday (for which all covered members are paid additional compensation, regardless of work schedule), and an additional $500.00 at each longevity level, as well as a new longevity level created at 20 years' service. The following is a synopsis of those articles changed from the prior contract: Article 3 -.Battalion Chiefs are no longer covered by the agreement. Article 6 _ Language was clarified to reflect that payroll dues deductions are based on employees' individual voluntary authorizations. Article 7 - "national origin" was added as a prohibited basis of discrimination by the City or the Union. Article19 - Paid time off for union business was reduced from twelve (12) to ten (10) days per calendar year £or.the bargaining unit. Article 10 - The grievance procedure was tightened to add time limits at the first and, final steps of the procedure and to make each step mandatory. Memo April 17, 1986 Page Two Article 11A - In Distribution of manpower, total manpower covered by the contract was reduced to 78 from 81, to reflect exclusion of the Battalion Chiefs. Certain provisions restricting the City's operation of dispatch and fire prevention functions were removed. Article 12 - Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr's Birthday was added as an additional paid holiday. Article 19 - Overtime earned will be paid as required by the F.L.S.A., instead of prior provision for double time off for all emergency call-back service. Article 20 - Instead of the prior practice of paying a cash clothing allowance and requiring members to furnish their own protective clothing and station dress from it, the City will now directly furnish specified items as needed, in lieu of a clothing allowance. $150.00 will also be paid to each member for laundering and upkeep of all uniforms and clothing. •Article 23 - Prevailing rights of covered members are now specifically subject to the management rights recognized in Article 4. Article 29 - Battalion Chiefs were excluded from the seniority bidding promotion system. Prior Articles 30 - Wage Addendum and Articles 32 - Parity with Police - were omitted in their entirety. The contract is retroactive to January 1, 1986 and expires December 31, 1986. The City and Union have agreed in it to meet and bargain concerning an Agreement for 1987 beginning May 1, 1986. The City's negotiation team consisted of myself, City Clerk Mary Merchanthouse, and City Engineer Ralph Willis, with Council member Lynn Morris and City Purchasing Director Rita Stout as alternates. Local 1408's negotiating team consisted of William Smith, David Harbin, and Ed Haller (wages), and Marshall Kern, Jim Walters, and Oscar Abner (contract -working conditions). An additional appropriation will be needed to fund the 1986 base wage and longevity, in the approximate amount of $15,000.00 over and above the 3% increase included in the 1986 Fire budget. This appropriation will be prepared and forwarded to you in the near future. Thank you.
