LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING

DATE:
Mr. Randy Jute, President, I.A.F.F. Local 1891
William L. Bingham, Fire Chief
Letter of Understanding regarding post-ratification change to
Article 14, Wages.
February 8, 2001
WHEREAS the Wages article was established and implemented upon contract
ratification, and
WHEREAS the City and the Union have amicably worked to implement the new
wage plan while reconciling past salary discrepancies, and
WHEREAS a problem was identified post-ratification relating specifically to the
minimum salary of entry-level employees that, if followed, would have created
additional salary discrepancies.
THEREFORE it is the intent of this Letter of Understanding to resolve the above
issue by maintaining the minimum starting salary for entry-level employees
($29,557 per annum) throughout the term of the contract.
This change will have no impact on any other provision of the Wages article and
the maximum salaries for each position and within each range will remain
unaffected.
It is also understood that the original good-faith intent of increasing the salary
ranges two and one-half percent (2 ~%) annually continues to apply, except for
the minimum salary of an entry-level employee which pursuant to this Letter of
Understanding remains fixed at $29,557. To this end, and consistent with the
original intent of the article, the minimum entry-level salary referenced in Article
14, Section 1C of the contract ($31,053) can be considered the starting point for
future negotiations.
