<br />
<br />III. BEGIN DISCUSSIONS ON ITEMS PROPOSED BY THE LA PORTE
<br />POLICE OFFICER'S ASSOICATION AND THE CITY OF LA PORTE
<br />
<br />The Association distributed information in regard to specific language that the
<br />representatives of the bargaining team feel comfortable with, but stated that the
<br />language is not intended to be "final" language. The Chief acknowledged that all
<br />language presented at this time, by either party, is subject to review by all
<br />applicable parties (such as the La Porte Police Officers Association, City Council
<br />and legal). The LPPOA had prepared some salary information, but it was not
<br />available for distribution.
<br />
<br />After review of the LPPOA information, City proposals were distributed.
<br />
<br />All items presented, by the LPPOA and City had been discussed during previous
<br />meetings, and positions on those matters were further clarified in the documents
<br />and discussion.
<br />
<br />The City also proposed a salary chart, and a cost estimate based on the officers
<br />receiving an increase of 120% above the difference between current rate and
<br />median. (Example: $1.00 difference in median X 120% = $1.20). The overall
<br />estimated impact would be $182,554.94. The City would propose to distribute this
<br />increase in two increments, one to be paid on 4/1/11 and the other on 10/1/11.
