City of Leesburg and the Florida Police Benevolent Association, Sergeants/Corporals and Officers Bargaining Units

Staff Recommendation:

Staff and labor counsel recommend Commission ratification of each bargaining agreement as submitted. (See Attached)

Analysis:

Attached you will find two collective bargaining agreements between the City of Leesburg and the Florida Police Benevolent Association, Inc., for the Officer’s and the Corporals’/Sergeants’ bargaining units.  They each consist of articles agreed upon during negotiations and articles imposed by legislative action at the public hearing/meeting held for that purpose on February 2, 2010.  The legislatively imposed articles took effect at the time of legislative action on them.  This step is a mere formality.  The agreements constitute the status quo between the parties as to wages, hours and working conditions of the unit employees until some further agreements(s) may be reached.

Options:        

1.         Ratify the agreements as submitted; or

2.         Such alternative action as the Commission may deem appropriate.
