| | | | | | | | BACKGROUND Through the meet and confer process, the City and the Plano Firefighters’ Association, IAFF Local 2149 (PFFA) have negotiated and reached a consensus on an Agreement regarding terms and conditions of employment for Plano Firefighters (Firefighters). The Texas Local Government Code states that for the Agreement to be enforceable and binding on the City and the Firefighters, a secret ballot election must be conducted at which a majority of the members of the PFFA vote in favor of ratifying the Agreement. Further, the City Council must approve the Agreement by a majority vote. Staff has confirmed with the PFFA that, by majority vote, the PFFA membership has approved and ratified the Agreement. Approval by the City Council of this Agreement will put it into effect on October 1, 2025 to September 30, 2033. This Agreement only changes or preempts the matters that it specifically addresses, or as to which this Agreement inherently conflicts; and it shall only be effective to do so during its term. In summary, the Agreement establishes a shift change to 24/72 for field personnel. This shift requires the City to hire a new D-shift and will provide a 3rd day off for field personnel. Implementation of the revised schedule of work and the corresponding wages, benefits and other terms and conditions of employment are detailed in the Agreement. As the City and PFFA finalize the exact language in the Agreement, the final version of the Agreement may vary slightly from the attached draft of the Agreement. |
