SUbject: Amendment to the Collective Labor Agreement - Article 8 -Insurance
Attached, and to be used as the attachment to the Amendment to the Collective Labor Agreement, is
the correct Article 8 - Insurance. The whole Agreement is presently attached to the Amendment to the
Collective Labor Agreement, and which has the wrong Article 8 - Insurance. Only the Amended
Article 8 - Insurance needs to be attached to the Amended Agreement. If you have any questions,
please give me a call.

MEMORANDUM

Mayor De Weerd, City Council members

Subj: IAFF #2311 Collective Bargaining agreement and Amendment to Insurance provision
Marlene discovered that the resolution passed on Tuesday, February 17 incorrectly
attached the collective bargaining agreement instead of just the amendment to Article 8 on
insurance. We apparently did not email the amended article to the clerk's office and as a
consequence the clerk's office attached what it had, rather than the correct document.
I have asked the clerk's office to include the resolution, with the correct document, on
next week's consent agenda so there will be no doubt regarding the adoption of the amendment.
It will carry the same resolution number as it carried this week.
I apologize for the confusion.
