>> We have someone online like Mr. Ferguson to give us a little overview. >> I am here. Can you hear me? >> Yes. loud and clear. >> Okay. Uh this is a uh the resolution would approve a memorandum of agreement
uh for a negotiated successor contract for the assistant prosecutors at the Atlanta County Prosecutor's Office. Uh negotiations were concluded recently on this. Uh I've attached uh to the resolution a copy of the memorandum of
agreement. This would uh since the prior contract expired at the end of calendar year 2024, uh this would be a uh an agreement that would run for three years, but would be retroactive to January 1 of 2025. It
would carry through the end of calendar year 2027. Um the uh the cost of the contract uh is averages uh over the life of the contract an annual average of 5.85%
but uh because of the fact that a number of the items in salary and all are prrated uh for instance some of the uh payments are made on a an employees anniversary date and won't cover the whole year. the
actual cost on a PR-rated basis to this year's budget is 3.36%. Um, so uh you know it appears to be a uh a a good contract for for all the parties and does some of the things that
the uh the prosecutor is hoping to do in terms of retention and so on. Uh if there were any other questions that anyone has, I'll be happy to uh answer them. You answered my main question about
retention concerns. >> That appears to be a very generous contract. >> Absolutely. >> Yeah. Any other discussion? Any public comment? Not please call the role. >> Yes. >> Burns.
