At its Dec. 10 meeting the Aberdeen City Council approved a package of collective bargaining agreements covering the 2026–2028 contract term.
Council voted to adopt the AFSCME 2026–2028 collective bargaining agreement, the Aberdeen Police Administrators agreement with Teamsters for 2026–2028, the Aberdeen Police Officers Guild Teamsters agreement for 2026–2028, and the IAFF Local 315 agreement for the same period. The motions were moved and seconded and approved by voice vote.
During discussion a council member thanked HR Director Dani Smith and contract attorney Dave Luxenberg for their work in negotiating the agreements and bringing them forward in what the speaker described as an expedited process. "Thanks to Danny again for her hard work," a council member said during remarks.
The agreements were adopted at the meeting; the clerk said executed documents and oaths for newly seated members will be recorded and made available online.
