Mr. Janonis indicated that the settlement included a 3.5% annual wage increase over a three-year period, some minor language changes with regard to use of Personal time and eligibility for hire back. The agreement also provided for a one-time $300 cash payment upon adoption of the settlement. The Village was also able to secure the same changes in health insurance benefits as were in place with the Public Works Union and non-union employees. Additionally, further changes in health insurance regarding additional employee contribution and the implementation of the mandatory PPO were agreed to for the year 2000. Board members asked several questions regarding the particulars of the settlement. It was indicated that this settlement was in line with other settlements being agreed to in other towns. It was also noted that Mount Prospect's employee contribution for health insurance, deductibles and out-of-pocket expenses were some of the highest among other towns. The Board members did point out, however, that the contribution levels were still substantially below what was common in the private sector. There was also some discussion regarding the likely reformulation of the Consumer Price Index (CPI) formula whereby future inflation factors would be reduced by up to a full percentage point. There was some brief discussion regarding the status of negotiations with the Police Union. It was indicated that Arbitration was set for June 13.
