City Employment Terms - 6-26-12 draft

City Council will be meeting at 10:00am today with Roy Roberts (DPS-EM) to discuss the plans for Detroit Public Schools 2012-13. Additional topics are on the agenda.

There will also be continued work on the City Employment Terms as initially presented by CFO Jack Martin, and Law Department's Labor Relations. [Click here for a draft copy of CET from June 26, we will provide updated copy when obtained.]

These employment changes were part of the work of the last two meetings of the Financial Advisory Board, which have appeared as semi-secret meetings since they are announced by the State Treasurer's office. All that we have heard have been whispered notice the day of or a day before the meeting with sketchy details on the location and time. Free Detroit has requested to be placed on the distribution list for announcements out of the Michigan Treasurer and have yet to receive a confirmation to that request.

We are also curious to see the billing of contract to Milliman for the work done with the CET. Mentioned during yesterday's long session (1:30pm-4:30pm) was that details of the document were not yet complete and available until the contract terms with Milliman were completed -- they want to be paid. That contract should come before City Counsel as it will likely be higher than $25,000. Additional legal counsel from Butzel Long, Miller Cohen, and Miller Canfield can be expected as well.
