Proposed Action
Staff recommends adoption of the following motion: Move to approve the labor agreement
between the City of Lakeville and Law Enforcement Labor Services, Inc. Local No. 128 for 2016
and 2017.
Passage of this motion will result in a two-year labor agreement with the Lakeville Police
Officers.
Overview
A two-year agreement has been reached with the Officer’s union which will take effect on
January 1, 2016 and continue through December 31, 2017. The agreement will provide a
2.5% increase to wages effective January 1, 2016; a 2% increase effective January 1, 2017; and
a 1% increase effective July 1, 2017.
The agreement also provides health insurance rates identical to the non-union employees.
Additional items include a $30 annual increase for uniform allowance, and the ability to
accrue compensatory time to a maximum of 80 hours.
The Personnel Committee has reviewed the agreement and is recommending its approval.
Primary Issues to Consider
• How does the proposed wage increase compare to comparable cities? The
average increase of those contracts that are settled is 2.5% per year.
