 The proposed contract will give police officers a pay increase of up to 21%, making them some of the highest paid officers in the state. Some council members have worried about how the city will pay for the additional costs in the contract and said they want more reforms in exchange for the pay boost. The contract has already been approved by members of the union. The council doesn't have authority to adjust the contract themselves. If they vote it down, the city and union will go back to the bargaining table. I'm John Collins, Minneapolis.
