LETTER OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN
THE CITY OF CANTON
AMERICAN FEDERATION OF STATE,COUNTY AND
MUNICIPAL EMPLOYEES,AFL-CIO COUNCIL 31/LOCAL NO. 1372
The City of Canton ("City") and the American Federation of State, County and Municipal
Employees, AFL-CIO Council 31/Local No. 1372 ("Union")met and discussed the City's desire,
due to the retirement of the Public Works Director, to temporarily fill the positions of
Superintendent of Streets and Superintendent of System Maintenance in the Public Works
Department. Normally these positions are management positions that would not be covered
under the collective bargaining agreement between the City of Canton and the American
Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees, AFL-CIO Council 31/Local No. 1372.
However, given that these appointments are temporary until the mayoral election is held and the
next administration determines what it will do with the management positions in the Public
Works Department, it is the City and the Union's desire to allow the City to fill the positions
with current staff, but allow that staff to remain in the Union until May 31, 2017. The following
was agreed to:
1. That the positions of Superintendent of Streets and Superintendent of System
Maintenance in the Public Works Department will be filled by current Public Works
staff to be chosen by the City.
2. That the employees will remain active members of the American Federation of State,
County and Municipal Employees, AFL-CIO Council 31/Local No. 1372.
3. That each Superintendent will be paid a stipend of$500 per month starting February
1,2017 through May 31, 2017.
4. That the Superintendents will remain on the overtime list and be eligible for overtime
just as the other employees in the Union are eligible. The Superintendents will not be
paid overtime unless their position on the overtime list is called in for overtime.
5. The terms of this letter of understanding will terminate on May 31, 2017. At that
juncture should the Mayor decide to appoint the employees on a non-interim basis,
the employees will no longer remain in the Union.
The parties hereto have caused their duly authorized agents to sign this Letter of
Understanding this day of February, 2017, with an effective date of February 1, 2017.
