ZIENTARA, CITY CONTROLLER <br />December 7, 2010 <br />Mr. Derek Dieter <br />President, South Bend Common Council <br />4t' Floor, County -City Building <br />South Bend, IN 46601 <br />Re: Ordinance of the Common Council to Approve Teamster Employee Wages for 2012 and 2013 by <br />Amending Ordinance No. 10044 -10 Which Fixed Teamster Maximum Wage Rates for Calendar <br />Year 2011 <br />Dear President Dieter: <br />Ordinance no. 10044 -10 was passed by the South Bend Common Council in its second substitute version <br />on September 30, 2010 during a time when labor wage negotiations were ongoing but not yet concluded <br />between the City and its Teamster employee group. <br />At time of passage of ordinance no. 10044 -10, City Administration had a contractual agreement proposal <br />on the table with the Teamster Union that proposed a 0% wage rate increase in fiscal 2011, with <br />subsequent 2% wage rate increases effective on January 1, 2012, and on January 1, 2013. <br />As the contractual agreement proposal was not yet ratified by Teamster union membership, it was <br />determined in joint agreement between Common Council and City Administration, that the appropriate <br />Teamster wage ordinance proposed for Common Council passage on September 30, 2010, should <br />exclude any reference to wage years beyond the 2011 0% wage increase. ft was jointly concluded that, <br />upon Teamster contract ratification of the 2% wage rate increases proposed for effect on January 1, <br />2012, and on January 1, 2013, that City Administration would file an amendment to Ordinance no. 10044- <br />10, that would incorporate the Teamster contract ratified wage rates for these future periods. <br />As such, the bill submitted herewith, amends Ordinance no. 10044 -10, effectively to include the Teamster <br />wage rates for effect on January 1, 2012 and January 1, 2013 in accordance with the Teamster contract <br />ratified and binding between the City of South Bend and its Teamster union employees. <br />I will present this bill to the Common Council at the appropriate Council Committee meeting, public <br />hearing, and at the Council meeting. I am available to discuss any matters concerning this bill at the <br />convenie?ce of Council. <br />cc: Stephen J. Luecke, Mayor of the City of South Bend <br />t; fit; Iv <br />CITY <br />
