FOP Negotiations Meeting #7

This transcript captures the seventh negotiation meeting between the City of Lewiston, Idaho, and the Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) held on May 12, 2026. The discussion focused primarily on revising and clarifying various articles of the labor contract, including on-duty injury policies, disciplinary processes, grievance procedures, vacation and sick leave policies, and negotiation timelines. Key procurement-related topics included concerns about arbitration removal due to potential financial impacts on the city budget and the introduction of an on-call rotation for investigation supervisors to manage call-out pay more equitably. The parties agreed on several contract articles while tabling others for further discussion, with plans to meet again after union members review proposed language changes. No direct contract awards or vendor selections were discussed, but the negotiation outcomes could influence future labor-related expenditures and city budget allocations.
