Below is a summary of the chauges in the Collective Bazgaining Agreement betcveen the City
and the Police Federation. The new contract is for the period of January 1, 1997 through
December 31, 1999.
Wages:
1997: 2.7%
(Splits*
12/96 - 2%; 7(19l97 .5°/a> 12(97 .2%)
1998: 2.6%
(Splits: 1f98 - 23%; 711198 3%)
1999: 2.5%
(Splits: 1/99 - 2%; 7/99 .5%)
* Wage implementation dates
Health Insurance:
1997: Single $300.00 per month
Family $355.38 + 50% of premium increase =$368.82 per month
1998: Singie $285.00 per month
Family $378.82 per month
1999: Single $275.00
Family $378.82 + 50% of premium increase
In 1947, the single contribution stays the same as 1945 and 1496. The single contribution is
reduced by $25.00 over 1998 and 1999. This means the unused benefit dollar amount returned to
employees at the end of the year has decreased, this helps accomplish the City's goal of paying
benefit dollars for benefits.
Regazding family coverage, other units have settled at $368.82 + 50%. Since premiums dropped
this means no increase to them. Since the Federation lowered the single amount by $25.00 the
City gave a dollaz amount of $10.00 to family coverage.
The Federation also agreed to a reduction in the married couple rule. This rule applies only to
Loca121 and Police. When both spouses are employed by the City, one takes coverage, the
other gets the full $300.00 per month back at the end of the yeaz. Now the spouse with no
coverage will receive back only the actual amount of the single contribution, since the City
would haue to purchase this from the insurance company anyway.

Below is a summary of the chauges in the Collective Bazgaining Agreement betcveen the City
and the Police Federation. The new contract is for the period of January 1, 1997 through
December 31, 1999.
Wages:
1997: 2.7%
(Splits*
12/96 - 2%; 7(19l97 .5°/a> 12(97 .2%)
1998: 2.6%
(Splits: 1f98 - 23%; 711198 3%)
1999: 2.5%
(Splits: 1/99 - 2%; 7/99 .5%)
* Wage implementation dates
Health Insurance:
1997: Single $300.00 per month
Family $355.38 + 50% of premium increase =$368.82 per month
1998: Singie $285.00 per month
Family $378.82 per month
1999: Single $275.00
Family $378.82 + 50% of premium increase
In 1947, the single contribution stays the same as 1945 and 1496. The single contribution is
reduced by $25.00 over 1998 and 1999. This means the unused benefit dollar amount returned to
employees at the end of the year has decreased, this helps accomplish the City's goal of paying
benefit dollars for benefits.
Regazding family coverage, other units have settled at $368.82 + 50%. Since premiums dropped
this means no increase to them. Since the Federation lowered the single amount by $25.00 the
City gave a dollaz amount of $10.00 to family coverage.
The Federation also agreed to a reduction in the married couple rule. This rule applies only to
Loca121 and Police. When both spouses are employed by the City, one takes coverage, the
other gets the full $300.00 per month back at the end of the yeaz. Now the spouse with no
coverage will receive back only the actual amount of the single contribution, since the City
would haue to purchase this from the insurance company anyway.

Family $378.82 per month
1999: Single $275.00
Family $378.82 + 50% of premium increase
In 1947, the single contribution stays the same as 1945 and 1496. The single contribution is
reduced by $25.00 over 1998 and 1999. This means the unused benefit dollar amount returned to
employees at the end of the year has decreased, this helps accomplish the City's goal of paying
benefit dollars for benefits.
Regazding family coverage, other units have settled at $368.82 + 50%. Since premiums dropped
this means no increase to them. Since the Federation lowered the single amount by $25.00 the
City gave a dollaz amount of $10.00 to family coverage.
The Federation also agreed to a reduction in the married couple rule. This rule applies only to
Loca121 and Police. When both spouses are employed by the City, one takes coverage, the
other gets the full $300.00 per month back at the end of the yeaz. Now the spouse with no
coverage will receive back only the actual amount of the single contribution, since the City
would haue to purchase this from the insurance company anyway.
