Robert Keeney, seconded by Larry Wolf moved to recommend for approval the tentative
agreement for a 2013-2014 WPPA Union Contract, which includes the following:
2013
1% wage increase/2% to WRS – effective first pay period after ratification
1% wage increase/additional 2% to WRS (total of 4%) – effective July 1,
2013
1% wage increase – effective December 31, 2013
2014
2% wage increase/full employee share of WRS – effective January 1, 2014
1% wage increase – effective July 1, 2014
This would allow the deputies to be eligible for the HRA because they are contributing to the
WRS an agreed upon amount. Motion carried with two negative votes.
Joyce Roling explained that according to statute, the management staff at the Sheriff’s
Department shall be contributing the same WRS amount as the represented.
