County Commissioners approved a three-year contract with county highway workers and emergency dispatch unions at their Jan. 21 meeting.
In 2020, the groups will receive a 2-percent cost of living adjustment followed by increases of 3.25 percent in 2021 and 2022.
The county will also make a $25-per-month health insurance contribution.
Commissioners voted 4-0 to accept the contracts. Board chairman Gary Overgaard was absent from the meeting.
One union, the deputy sheriffs, is still negotiating.
In other business, commissioners were informed the annual Township Association Meeting will be at 1 p.m. Monday, Feb. 10, at the Rock County Library.
