Resolution 20-2022 was placed on the legislative agenda and council was asked to pass it on the first reading.
This relates to three representing units that accepted a wage increase and higher health insurance contribution, with the resolution preamble being read by Clerk Julie Courtright prior to a vote.
“To adopt an agreement between the City of New Philadelphia and AFSCME 1958 and Ohio Council Eight Clerical Chapter to be effective January 1, 2022, through December 31, 2024.”
