This fiscal year Sudbury Town Manager Andy Sheehan has been tasked with negotiating union contracts while the financial forecast for the Town shows difficult years ahead. Yet he has steadily settled contracts without drama. As previously reported, Sheehan has reached agreements with the Supervisory Association, the DPW Union, Sudbury Police Sergeants and Sudbury Police Lieutenants.
The latest agreement was arguably one of the tougher ones. The Town has reached an agreement with the Sudbury Police Union. A recent town financial report indicated Sudbury was spending among the least per capita on police among peer communities.
According to the agreement, each step on the salary schedule will get a $3,000 increase as a market adjustment, which is effective 7/1/24. The market adjustment goes into effect before the negotiated annual percent increases agreed to in the contract. Those percent increases are 3%, 2% and 2% for the three years covered by the agreement.
The agreement also includes changes to extra paid detail compensation and calculations for base pay.
