WAGES
20.1 The Union agrees with the City that there is a need to address the operational
method of the Solid Waste Department, which may require a reorganization of the Solid Waste
Department. The reorganization will require implementation of staffing and operational changes
in order to increase the efficiency of the department and reduce costs of the Solid Waste
Department. The Union, its officers, agents, and members pledge their support in implementing
such operational changes or reorganization and the Union hereby waives all requirements of
approval, and notice of such covered by this Agreement.
Effective October 1, 2023, employees shall receive a 5% across the board increase.
Effective October 1, 2024, employees shall receive a 7% across the board increase. Effective
October 1, 2025, employees shall receive a 65% across the board increase.
For fiscal years 2023, 2024 and 2025, respectively, bargaining unit members that

Leaves of absence without pay, suspension of any duration, or assignment to light
or modified duty in accordance with Article 25 shall delay increases by the same number of
workdays. A Department Director may withhold anniversary increases due to excessive
absenteeism resulting from tardiness, sick leave usage and/or until such time as, in the Department
Director's judgment, the employee's service within the classification meets the standards of
satisfactory performance for the position. Employees whose anniversary increases are delayed or
denied shall be notified of the reasons for the action being taken. Employees whose anniversary
increases are delayed or denied due solely to tardiness or sick leave usage may request a review of
the denial by the Director of Human Resources or designee, whose decision shall be final and
binding.
20.4 Any bargaining unit employee, upon retirement from City service, or separating
under honorable conditions, who has served for a period of twenty-five (25) years or more, shall
be granted, at the time of his/her retirement or honorable separation one hundred seventy-three
and three tent (173.3) hours of pay.
