During a recent government meeting, officials discussed the status of union ratifications for police and fire agreements. The police union has successfully ratified two out of three agreements, with negotiations set to resume in November for the remaining agreement.

On the fire department side, the ratification process is currently underway, conducted via mail. Officials noted that the fire union is aiming to present their results by the September 16 meeting. However, they face challenges in scheduling the counting of ballots, which may delay the presentation of results. If the fire union cannot meet the September deadline, the ratification results will be brought to the board and the mayor at the subsequent meeting.

This ongoing negotiation process highlights the complexities involved in union agreements and the importance of timely communication between the unions and government officials.
