The city has reached a five and a half year contract deal with local 18, it’s outside workers.
The current costs of wages and benefits for outside workers in the city was 21.6 million in 2014, increasing to 23.7 million by the end of 2019.
For the first time in 35 years the guaranteed 293 positions are negotiable, it would allow for 15 less positions.
Mayor Mel Norton adjusting the work force numbers really depends on a variety of matters.
Local 18 is responsible for snowplowing, collecting trash, road repairs and water and sewage work.
