The City of Northville and two police unions have ratified a new union agreement.
Members of the Northville City Council approved the tentative agreement with the Command Officers Association of Michigan and the Patrol Officers Association of Michigan. The four-year contract will become effective Jan. 1, 2021.
The contract calls for a wage increase of 3 percent in the first year and 2.5 percent in years two, three and four. In addition, permanent 12-hour shift language was added and operational changes such as promotions, discipline, and shift bids were implemented.
City labor attorney Steve Schwartz negotiated the contract along with City Manager Pat Sullivan, Police Capt. Greg Hannewald, Finance Director Sandi Wiktorowski and Chief of Police Alan Maciag.
