City Council to consider police union contract
At its July 14 meeting, the City Council will consider a four-year agreement with the Chico Police Officers Association covering July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2030. The contract would include negotiated changes to officer pay, benefits, and other employment terms, including annual pay range increases of 3% in 2026, 3.5% in 2027, and 4% in both 2028 and 2029.
The Council will also introduce an ordinance to establish Entertainment Zones in downtown Chico and Meriam Park under California SB 969. If approved, adults 21 and older would be allowed to purchase alcoholic beverages from participating licensed businesses and consume them within designated public areas.
At the request of Councilmember Addison Winslow, the City Council will also discuss water quality in Big Chico Creek.
