Of course City Hall had to respond;

The City of Sioux Falls has consistently stated that retroactive approval of a labor agreement by the City Council would establish a significant precedent and negate the timeliness required of the collective bargaining process. Bargaining began in May 2016, and both parties understood the necessary timeline.

Cost information:
The potential cost to the City of making the contracts retroactive (for both the FOP and AFSCME combined) would have been $152,010.08. This did not factor into the City’s decision.

For clarification, the $152K was already figured into the 2017 salary budget, it would not have cost us anything additional.

    Strong points:
    – The city ‘Boom Town’ unsubstantiated claim.
    – Low tax revenue
    – Irrational irresponsible high dollar projects.
    – Police attrition? Underpaid. New 30% can’t qualify.

    I blame Mike. Veto that.
