Body
BACKGROUND:
The Florida State Lodge Fraternal Order of Police , Inc. (FOP) has successfully negotiated a collective bargaining agreement with the City of Marco Island, recognizing concerns for both its members and the City.

The FOP and the City engaged in collective bargaining for three months and through the process tentatively agreed to a three-year successor agreement. Attached you will find the tentatively agreed to successor agreement and a summary memo that describes the major proposed changes to the agreement.

RECOMMENDATION:
The City Manager recommends that the Council adopt Resolution 24-42, which authorizes and ratifies the three-year agreement. This agreement was reviewed by the City Attorney for legal sufficiency and approved by the FOP membership.
