recommendation
The Redmond Police Association (RPA) was the previous union representative of the police officer and police support employees. Teamster Local No. 117 became the PERC certified union representative of police officer and police support employees as of September 22, 2020. Due to that certification, administrative changes to the collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) with each bargaining unit are required.

ANTICIPATED RESULT IF NOT APPROVED:
The administrative changes are intended to update the CBAs to reflect the employee groups’ current union representation while maintaining the substance of the CBAs for the remainder of the term. If these changes are not approved, there will be continued internal and external confusion as to the union representation of these two employee groups.
