Mayor says he will sign measure into law on FOP pact
After five months of talks the Frederick Board of Aldermen approved an ordinance establishing procedures for negotiating police contracts with the Fraternal Order of Police. The measure legalizes the current contract until a new agreement is reached and creates a binding grievance and settlement process overseen by a panel of city residents. The ordinance covers officers to lieutenant and lists wage and benefit terms while allowing future topics by mutual agreement. Mayor Paul Gordon will sign, and negotiations will begin after the current contract is recognized.
