Memorandum of Understanding to the Collective Bargaining Agreement with the New Baden Police Department
A motion was made by Trustee Oster and seconded by Trustee Zurliene to approve a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) for the New Baden Police Department for Police Officer Angela Wagner. The CBA provides that no employee may receive an increase in wages greater than 6%, in the aggregate, of the wages for the previous year. If an employee, pursuant to the CBA would otherwise be entitled to a wage increase greater than 6%, the balance of the increase that was not received is added to the increase for the following fiscal year. In Fiscal Year 2019-2020, Officer Wagner was scheduled to receive an increase in wages equal to 7.5% greater than the wages in the previous year. Officer Wagner intends to participate in the Village’s Early Retirement Incentive (ERI) Program, and must declare her intention to participate in the ERI on or before March 30, 2020. Since she will participate in the ERI, she will not receive the balance of her 7.5% wage increase. This MOU will allow the Village to award Officer Wagner a wage increase of 1.5% retroactive to September 13, 2019.
