*Ratify a collective bargaining agreement with American Federation of State, County, Municipal Employees, Local 189 for represented employees within the Office of Independent Police Review for 2022 - 2025

The City of Portland ordains: Section 1. The Council finds: The City and American Federation of State, County, Municipal Employees (AFSCME) Local 189 established a new bargaining unit representing the employees within the Office of Independent Police Review. On or about March 14, 2022, pursuant to the City's obligations under ORS 243.650 et seq., representatives of the City entered negotiations to establish the first collective bargaining agreement (CBA) for these newly represented employees. On September 20, 2022 and again on January 9, 2023, representatives from the City and AFSCME Local 189 signed a Tentative Agreement (Agreement), Exhibit A attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference, regarding the terms and conditions of employment with AFSCME Local 189 represented employees within the Office of Independent Police Review (IPR) for the period beginning July 1, 2022 and lasting until June 30, 2025 (the 2022-2025 CBA). The Agreement meets the City's bargaining interests by securing a labor agreement with AFSCME Local 189 through June 30, 2025 and setting wages and other terms and conditions of employment. This CBA establishes the wage scales for classifications within IPR to include Investigator I, Investigator II, IPR Data Analyst II, and Administrative Specialist II. Wages under the wage scales and a five percent (5%) cost of living adjustment (COLA) for Fiscal Year 22-23 are effective July 1, 2022. Employees in AFSCME Local 189 within the IPR will thereafter receive cost of living increases effective July 1, 2023, and July 1, 2024, which will be tied to the CPI-W West - Size Class A with a minimum increase of one percent (1%) and a maximum increase of five percent (5%). To address retention within IPR and to ensure ongoing compliance with the settlement agreement between the City and the United States, the CBA provides for these represented employees to receive a $3,000 bonus at the end of each full year of service within IPR, except in the last year of the CBA when it will increase $3,500 at the end of the year of service for a full year of service, or prorated in the final year of the contract if IPR work transitions to the Community Police Oversight Board sooner. The additional, and complete terms and conditions of the Agreement shall be reduced to an initial collective bargaining agreement and shall conform substantially to a form similar to Exhibit A (the 2022-2025 CBA). NOW, THEREFORE, the Council directs: The Agreement between the City and AFSCME Local 189 attached hereto as Exhibit A is ratified by this Council. The Mayor, the Chief Human Resources Officer, and the City Auditor are authorized to execute the 2022-2025 initial CBA between the City and AFSCME Local 189 relating to the terms and conditions of employment with AFSCME Local 189 represented employees in the Office of Independent Police Review for the period of July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025, with approval as to form by the assigned City Attorney. This Ordinance is binding City policy. Section 2. The Council declares that an emergency exists in order to avoid an unnecessary delay in the orderly implementation of the provisions of the initial CBA; therefore, this Ordinance shall be in full force and effect from and after its passage by the Council.
