BACKGROUND: The current Collective Bargaining Agreement between the City and the Police Union contains language within Article 7.15 that authorizes Flex Leave beginning July 1, 2024 for all bargaining unit members covered by the police contract.

This request is supported by management and is recommended for approval.
