Chandler Chapter members chose amongst a record 23 candidates who stood for election to the 2010 Bargaining Team during two days of voting in mid-January.

They elected a strong team of eight members and three alternates who will sit at the table with city management to negotiate our new Memorandum of Understanding.  Dates for the first Meet & Confer sessions have not been set yet.

Like most cities and towns in Arizona, Chandler has been facing a severe drop in revenues that is impacting its ability to balance the city budget and maintain the current level of services to residents. 

Fortunately, the rate of sales-tax-revenue decline has slowed, according to a story in the Arizona Republic and city officials are hopeful the worst may be over.  As we did last year, Chandler Chapter bargainers will work with the city to maintain jobs and services.

Here are the members of the 2010 Chandler Chapter Bargaining Team.  You can also download a PDF that lists team members and their contact information.

Dominic Camillo - MUD / Larry Duffy - MUD / Nan Kahl - City Clerk's Office / Terry Linck - MUD / Carlos Martinez - Parks / Shawn Prisciandaro - Streets / Catherine Roeper - Police Dept. / Mary Lou Zavala - Library.  Alternates are Mark Hardenburg - MUD and Robert Hoffmann - Streets.

Congratulations to the members of the Bargaining Team and to all the candidates who offered to serve on it.
