Speaker 3: The report of the full council agenda one constable 119 160 related to the employment authorized execution to Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Seattle and International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers. Local Number 77 to be effective January 23rd, 2017 through January 22nd 2021 and ratifying confirming Sergeant Prior Acts.
Speaker 1: Very good. So this is a council bill that authorizes the mayor to implement two memoranda of understanding, which are agreements between the city of Seattle and the International Association of Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, local number 77. And we talked about that this morning during briefing. So the first agreement is with City Light. It's around Effects, approximately 560 for regular city and employees. It establishes a journey rate of $43.65 per hour and provides an increase of 2% of wages in 2017 and 3% in 2018. And the wages should be adjusted by 100% of the increase of the Seattle CPI or the Consumer Price Index for the June over June increase, with a floor of 1.5% and a ceiling of 4% on 2019 2020. And the second agreement is with Scott that affects approximately 27 city employees, and it provides for a wage adjustment of 2% for 2017 and a wage adjustment of 3% for 2018. So in 2019 and 2020, the wages shall be adjusted by 100% of the increase of the Seattle CPI for the June over June increase, with a floor of 1.5% and a ceiling of 4%. So basically both agreements, the city and local 77 members will continue to split health care premiums, with 90% paid by the city and 10% paid by union members. They agreed that the city will provide up to ten days or 88 hours of paid leave for employees who took unpaid furloughs under a different union, then Local 77 or 2010 and establishes reopenings on impacts associated with the Affordable Care Act and changes to mandatory subjects related to gender and race workforce equity efforts. We know there needs to be some work there and amend the collective bargaining agreement to include a workforce diversity language. So we recommend passage or approval of these agreements to allow the mayor to implement these memorandums of understanding. Okay. Any questions about that? Councilmember MOSQUEDA.
Speaker 4: Thank you, Mr. President. Just a comment on that last provision. I think that it's really important to highlight the great work that went into this, both by the city as the employer and by the union, to come up with language ensuring equity around recruitment, hiring and retention. This is a responsibility that I see the city really shouldering in this contract to make sure that we are getting folks from diverse walks of life into these really great living wage jobs. And I appreciate the union's commitment to these same core values. We as the employer working hand in hand, I think we can create great, diverse workforce. And I appreciate the work that went into it.
Speaker 1: Thank you. Casper, I'm a skater. Any further comments? Okay I will move to pass counts bill 1191600 second. Okay. Please call the roll on the passage of the bill.
