CITY HALL 215 Church Avenue P.O. Box 1130 Oshkosh, 54903-1130 City of Oshkosh 0 QlHKQIH MEMORANDUM Date: December 9, 2010 To: Mark Rohloff, City Manager From: John Fitzpatrick, Assistant City Manager / Director of Administrative Services Re: AFSCME Local 796C Contract for 2010 -2011 As you know, we reached a tentative agreement on November 11, 2010 with AFSCME Local 796C for the contract years of 2010 and 2011. This agreement was ratified by AFSCME Local 796C on November 29, 2010. I believe this agreement is good for both AFSCME Local 796C and the City as it: 1) Equalizes AFSCME Local 796C employee contributions to health insurance with other employee groups. 2) Restores the integrity of percentage contribution by increasing the flat dollar caps to better define an employee's contribution to health. 3) Provides a modest wage increase dependent upon insurance changes. 4) Provides opportunity for voluntary settlements with all other represented groups. Included in this packet is the conceptual tentative agreement ratified by AFSCME Local 796C and a financial statement which details all existing costs and the costs associated with the agreement. Please let me know if you or any of the Council Members have any questions and thank you for your support and assistance with this process.
