The report of the full council agenda. Item one Council Bill 118628 relating to city employment. Authorizing the execution of a collective bargaining agreement between the City of Seattle and the Joint Crafts Council and ratifying and confirming certain prior acts introduced February 22nd, 2016. Councilmember Burgess. Thank you very much. This is a piece of legislation introduced directly to the full council. As usually happens when we have collective bargaining agreements that have been successfully negotiated and agreed to by the parties. This legislation authorizes the mayor to implement a collective bargaining agreement between the city and the Joint Crafts Council. It's a four year agreement that lasts through December 2018. It affects approximately 1100 city employees. The terms of the agreement are consistent with the parameters set by the council's labor relations committee, including, importantly, acceptance of the new tier of city employees in the retirement system beginning January 1st, 2017. The Labor Relations Committee recommends its adoption. Are there any further comments? I will move to pass Council Bill 118628. Is there a second. Second. Or any further comments on that? Please call the rule on the passage of this. Bill Bagshaw. Burgess. Gonzalez. I Herbold. Johnson. Suarez O'Brien. Salon. President Herald. Hi. Nine In favor and unopposed came.
