Resolution to Ratify the July 1, 2021 – December 31, 2023, Collective Bargaining Agreement Between Sauk County and the Wisconsin Professional Police Association (WPPA) L241-Sheriff’s Department Sworn Unit

The existing collective bargaining agreement between Sauk County and WPPA L241 (Sheriff’s Department Sworn Unit) expired on June 30, 2021. The Personnel and Insurance Committee has negotiated a tentative agreement with WPPA L241 (attached hereto), for the terms of a successor agreement for the calendar dates of July 1, 2021 through December 31, 2023. In accordance with Wis Stats. 111.70/111.77, certain sworn law enforcement officers maintain collective bargaining rights.

The provisions of the tentative agreements reflect a commitment of Sauk County to remain competitive with the wage rates of neighboring counties and municipalities, and the dedication of both parties to recruit and retain the highest quality employees for Sauk County.  Therefore, the Personnel and Insurance Committee, after careful consideration and review, believes the provisions of the tentative agreement as being in the best interest of Sauk County.
