Patrol officers in Wheaton will get raises the next two years but will also have to pay more for health care coverage under a labor agreement city council is expected to consider Monday night.

The collective bargaining agreement between Wheaton and the Fraternal Order of Police, which has been about a year in the works, will give Wheaton’s 49 patrol officers a 1.5 percent wage increase for 2012 and a 2 percent increase in 2013. The contract, which covers May 1, 2011, to April 30, 2014, will also retroactively increase wages by 1.25 percent for 2011, according to city documents.

Meanwhile, the health plan deductible for unmarried officers will increase $25 each of the three years the contract covers, while family plans will increase by $50 each year. Also, new officers will receive one month of  “separation pay,” equal to their one-month salary,  when they retire with at least 20 years of service, which is a decrease for the two months of pay officers hired before approval of this recent agreement received.

“Neither side is too terribly happy with it,” said Wheaton City Manager Don Rose about the agreement. Rose added that  “you can never get everything you want” with a collective bargaining process.

A spokesman for the FOP did not immediately return a phone call or email message seeking comment.

The Wheaton City Council is expected to approve the agreement at its meeting at 7 p.m. tonight at Wheaton City Hall, 303 W. Wesley St.
