At the Hays City Commission work session Thursday, commissioners will continue to discuss pay increases for union members.

The meeting is scheduled to begin at 6:30 p.m. Thursday at City Hall.

Negotiators with the city and Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 48 have come to an agreement for a one-time 2 percent bonus, rather than a cost-of-living adjustment.

The agreement is similar to the one between the city and members of SEIU that was approved last week by the commission.

The city has reported sales tax projections are trending below expectations, and staff has recommended against a wage increase, opting instead for the one-time bonus.

If approved, the bonus would be paid bi-weekly for one year, beginning with the first payroll of 2015.
