Collective Bargaining Agreement with SEIU Local 503
The primary focus of the meeting was the ratification of a new collective bargaining agreement between the City of Cannon Beach and SEIU Local 503. The city's bargaining team, led by City Manager Bruce St. Denis and City Attorney Ashley Driscoll, reached a tentative agreement with the union. The new contract includes a series of cost-of-living adjustments over the next three years: 4.75% in 2024, 3.75% in 2025, and 2.5% in 2026. Additionally, Juneteenth was added as a recognized city holiday, and on-call compensation was raised to $350 per week. Other amendments include updates on union rights and paid leave, as well as operational and administrative updates.
Council members had a few questions regarding the on-call week, specifically if it covered seven days, which was confirmed. The motion to ratify the agreement was passed unanimously.
