AN ORDINANCE relating to City employment; authorizing the execution of a collective bargaining agreement between The City of Seattle and PROTEC17 Office of Emergency Management unit to be effective through December 31, 2021; and ratifying and confirming certain prior acts.
Agenda item three Council Bill 120232 An ordinance relating to city employment authorizing the execution of a collective bargaining agreement between the City of Seattle and Protect 17 Office of Emergency Management Unit to be effective through December 31st, 2021, and ratifying and confirming certain prior acts. Thank you so much. I move to pass Council Bill 120232. Is there a second? Okay. Thank you. The bill has been moved and seconded. I am the sponsor of this bill, so I'll address it first and then happy to open up the floor to any additional comments on the bill. Colleagues, as I described it during this morning's council briefing, council Bill 120232 would ratify a collective bargaining agreement between the City of Seattle and Protect 17 Office of Emergency Management Bargaining Unit. The agreement would cover approximately 13 positions in strategic advisor classifications and would be effective only through December 31st, 2021. The agreement is for a short duration because Protect 17 OEM unit is part of the coalition of city unions and will be a party to the proposed agreement with the Coalition for 2022. The terms of the agreement would include provisions relating to wages, benefits, hours and working conditions, including a retroactive 2021 wage adjustment of 2.9%, which is commensurate with the area wage increase included in the 2021 adopted budget for representative employees in the Coalition. The Labor Relations Policy Committee previously approved and considered and deliberated these parameters. And these parameters are consistent with the terms of this collective bargaining agreement, and I recommend that you support the passage of Council Bill 1 to 0 232. Are there any additional comments on Council Bill 120232? Agenda item three. Council member, please. Thank you very much. I just want to say congratulations to the members of Protect 17.
