Dear honorable Council Members,
I am writing in support of the closed session agenda item #2 regarding the latest AFSCME MOU proposal. The
MOU negotiations have been ongoing since 2018 and we are all eager to have the agreement finalized. Please
consider approving the MOU, as proposed.
We have not had a fully funded range adjustment in over 12 years. We are severely understaffed and
employees in our group continue to leave for better paying jobs in other cities. We have stepped up to fill the
gap and do more for less so that City residents could continue to have essential services. Meanwhile, the City
has agreed to MOUs with other management groups. We are only asking to be treated fairly. We currently feel
overworked and underappreciated.
Sincerely,
Ana Straabe
