RE: 2022-2027 Uniform Officers Coalition Economic Agreement ("UOCEA")
Dear Mr. Azzara:
This is to confirm the parties' mutual understanding and agreement concerning additional
economic items negotiated by the parties pursuant to Section 4 of the UOCEA ("Unit
Bargaining").
l. The term of the agreement set forth in Section 1 of the UOCEA shall be extended by 2
months. Therefore, the term of the Sanitation Chief unit agreement shall be January 1,
2023 through February 29, 2028.
2. Effective January 1, 2026, there shall be an increase of $0.52 per employee per day in the
annuity contribution. This amount shall not be increased by future general wage
increases.
3. Effective January l, 2026, there shall be a per annum increase in the welfare fund
contribution of $300 per active employee and retiree.
4. The union shall establish an employee expense reimbursement fund, subject to the terms
of a separate agreement between the parties. The annual uniform allowance payment
shall cease beginning with the payment for fiscal year 2026 (i.e., the payment that would
have been made in or around December 2025).
5. Effective January l, 2026, the following salary schedule for General Superintendent

in 3(a)(iv) of the UOCEA does not apply on top of this schedule. The 4% wage increase
in 3(a)(v) shall apply on the date specified in that paragraph.
6. The parties will continue to discuss issues related to excessive accrual of comp time and
any mutually agreeable approaches to that issue. The terms of Section 4(b) of the
UOCEA shall continue to apply to such discussions.
This agreement fully resolves all unit bargaining matters as set forth in Section 4 of the
UOCEAMOA.
If the above conforms to you~ understanding, please execute the signature line below.
Sincerely,
