Recommended Action
Approve the Resolution.
Prior Board Action
The Board has taken the following prior action(s):
* The Village Board approved a similar alternate work schedule (12-hour Shifts) agreement last year on December 3, 2024 (RES 24-395).

The current collective bargaining agreement allows for an 8-hour shift for patrol officers. The Village and the Union agreed that a schedule other than an 8-hour shift for a one-year period on a non-precedent setting basis is in the interest of both parties.
The Village and the Union reached a tentative agreement on the attached draft agreement. A 12-hour schedule is a better solution for the Village, given the staffing shortages, and the Union has a majority preference for a 12-hour schedule that offers more days off.
