At the direction of the membership we have proposed our budget saving ideas to the City Council. Our proposal deferring the scheduled raises until FY12 (July 1, 2011) was well received by Council. The Albuquerque Police Officer's Assoc has also agreed to the same MOU concept. This would relieve the City of Albuquerque of 9.8 million for FY11. We also included some cost saving suggestions for the Department that were decided upon at our Special Meeting held on April 5, 2010. Our union is strong and thriving. There were over 80 members in attendance for the Special Meeting and we have received numerous emails with budget saving ideas. Remember, this is only the beginning of the budget process so please continue to provide input. Thank you to all members, we cannot do this without you!
