The Board of Mayor and Burgesses unanimously approved a Memorandum of Agreement (”MOA”) between the Borough of Naugatuck and the Police Dispatchers union at Tuesday’s (3/2/2010) regular meeting.  The MOA extends the existing contract through June 30, 2010.

The significant terms of the MOA include the following:

• Zero (0%) Percent wage increase for the 2009-2010 fiscal year;
• One and one half (1.5%) percent increases as of June 1, 2010; and January 1, 2011;
• One and one half (1.5%) percent increases as of June 1, 2011; and January 1, 2012
• An adjustment to the current employees’ pension which will save the Borough an estimated SIX HUNDRED SIXTY FIVE THOUSAND FIVE HUNDRED SEVENTY SEVEN and 27/100THS ($665,577.27) DOLLARS of pension expenses for existing employees;
• All new hires to the bargaining unit will enter a defined contribution pension plan.  This change to a defined contribution pension plan for new hires is consistent with provisions recently bargained with the clerical and supervisory bargaining units.

I would like to thank the members of the Police Dispatchers negotiating team and their union representatives for working together to reach agreement with regard to the MOA.  Our dispatchers professional service to the Borough is greatly appreciated.
