Executive Summary with Rationale and Impact:

Detailed description of the item and why we are doing it. This can be a separate attachment.

This is a resolution request to approve the Collective Bargaining Agreement between the City and County of Denver (City) and Fraternal Order of Police, Denver Sheriff Lodge 27 (FOP), regarding pay and benefits for the year 2021. The 2020 negotiations between the City and the FOP resulted in an impasse. The impasse arbitration hearing was held on February 24, 2021. At the hearing, the arbitrator accepted the parties’ stipulations on undisputed issues. In the binding Impasse Arbitration Opinion and Award dated March 19, 2021, the Arbitrator awarded the City’s final offer on the issues of uniform allowance, holiday premium pay and benefits and longevity pay; the Arbitrator awarded the FOP’s final offer on the disputed issue of specialty pay. 

 

The new contract contains a number of amendments to the current contract, including (1) suspending the annual uniform allowance; (2) suspending the holiday pay and benefit provisions for 7 holidays in 2021; and (3) suspension of longevity pay effective April 1, 2021 through December 31, 2021. In addition, there will be no salary increase for deputy sheriffs in 2021.
