Board of County Commissioners Meeting · 2026-04-21 · agenda_item

This item concerns a proposed collective bargaining agreement for Battalion Chiefs within Indian River County Emergency Services. The agreement is between Indian River County and the Indian River County Firefighters/Paramedics Association IAFF, Local 2201. It is planned to be effective from October 1, 2025, through September 30, 2027. This is a ratification item, meaning it is under review by the Board of County Commissioners. The scope of work involves the negotiation and finalization of terms for emergency services personnel. This early stage presents an opportunity for legal services specializing in labor relations and contract negotiation to engage with the county and the union. Reaching out now, before the agreement is finalized and ratified, allows for input and potential involvement in shaping the terms.
