Jerseyville City Council did not vote Tuesday on a proposed four-year contract covering 13 municipal workers represented by AFSCME Local 1479. A union representative said both sides still needed to review the final redline version before the council takes it up again July 21.

The Jerseyville City Council did not vote Tuesday night on a proposed contract covering the city’s municipal workers, pushing the decision to its next meeting.

The agreement involves AFSCME Local 1479, which represents 13 municipal workers in Jerseyville. According to AFSCME Council 31 staff representative Bo Johnson, neither the city nor the union had yet reviewed the final redline version of the deal.

Johnson said the delay was procedural, not substantive. He said the union members had already ratified a tentative four-year agreement running from July 1, 2026, through June 30, 2030, and described the deal as fair and mutually agreed upon.

The council is expected to take up the contract again at its July 21 meeting.

Mayor Kevin Stork was not available for comment when the report was filed.

What happened

The contract was on the council agenda for closed-session collective bargaining discussion and possible action, but no vote was taken during the July 8 meeting.

What comes next

The next scheduled council meeting on July 21 is expected to include the contract again. At that point, the council could approve the final language or seek further changes.
