This action followed successful labor negotiations between the City Advisory Negotiating Team which included Council Members Derek D. Dieter and Gavin Ferlic, members from the Fire Department and City Administration working with our Agents who negotiated with the Fire Union Negotiating Team and their Agent. As noted at the September 8, 2015 Personnel and Finance Committee when the South Bend Fire Department budget for calendar year 2016 was presented, all annual pay amounts and monetary fringe benefits set forth in their proposed budget reflect the exact amounts originally established in Ordinance No. 10333-14. The attached ordinance re-affirms all of those monetary amounts and programs for the 2016 calendar year, which were originally part of the ratified 3-year agreement. I recommend that the proposed ordinance be referred to the Personnel and Finance Committee for review and recommendation and be set for 2"d & 3rd readings and public hearing at the October 12th Common Council meeting. Thank you. Most sincerely, Tim See , ouncil President Attachment Filed in �I fBC@ cc: Fire Chief Steve Cox Tim Curran, Fire Union Agent 17 t015 I Kathleen Cekanski Farrand, Council Agent CITY IN CLERt CSC; � r �3END,
