Boise Fire Dept. CLA Negotiations - Day 4

This transcript captures a detailed negotiation meeting between the City of Boise and the Boise Fire Department held on June 23, 2026, focusing primarily on contract labor agreement (CLA) proposals and counterproposals. Key procurement-related discussions centered on cost analyses and budgeting for various pay and benefit proposals, including standby pay, specialty team pay, advanced EMT pay, career development pay scales, sick leave accumulation, bilingual pay, mobile device reimbursements, education incentives, fitness reimbursements, and minimum staffing requirements. The parties reviewed costing assumptions, sought clarifications on calculations, and discussed administrative feasibility, particularly regarding complex proposals like sick leave cash-outs and social security replacement contributions. They also addressed operational impacts such as deployment pay structures and interim promotional exams. The meeting concluded with plans for further caucusing and follow-up on costing details to refine proposals and ensure budget alignment. No contract awards or vendor selections were made during this session, but the discussions laid groundwork for future procurement and budget decisions related to fire department labor agreements.
