The Medina finance committee voted to move tentative collective bargaining agreements for two police bargaining units out of committee on Dec. 8, after staff summarized the proposed multi-year wage increases and the committee discussed fiscal impacts.

The mayor, presenting the agreement, said the package would include “4% for ’26, 4% for ’27, 3% for ’28, coupled with a 1% pension pickup increase.” He said labor counsel described the proposal as broadly consistent with current patterns in collective bargaining. Committee discussion focused on the cumulative effect: a councilmember noted the three-year package would increase citywide costs and that the city faces a roughly $1,800,000 unfunded impact over the period.

Members agreed to advance the tentative agreement for further council consideration. During the voice vote to move the tentative agreement out of finance, at least one member announced an abstention; the transcript records the abstention but does not include a roll-call tally in the finance meeting transcript.
