The attached ordinance <br />re-affirms all of those monetary amounts and programs for the 2024 calendar year, which were originally part of <br />the 3-year agreement, with one change to clarify the description of Longevity pay described in Section VII. <br />I will present this bill to the Common Council at the appropriate committee and council meetings. It is requested <br />that this bill be filed for 1st reading on September 25, 2023, with 2nd reading, public hearing and 3rd reading <br />scheduled for October 9, 2023.
