DANVILLE — The Vermilion County Board will have two new union agreements to consider at Tuesday's meeting.

The Teamsters Local 26 representing several workers at the Vermilion County Highway Department has ratified a proposed three-year contract with the county. And the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers Local 21, representing workers in various departments at the Vermilion County Courthouse, has ratified a two-year financial agreement with the county as part of an existing three-year contract.

The county board will consider approving both at Tuesday's meeting at 6 p.m. in the Vermilion County Courthouse Annex, 6 N. Vermilion St., Danville.

Local business representatives for the unions could not be reached for comment on the proposed agreements.

Last year, two bargaining units represented by the IBEW Local 21 agreed to three-year contracts that included a 1 percent wage increase the first year and an option allowing wages and insurance to be renegotiated in future years of the contract.

Vermilion County Board Chairman Jim McMahon said the two IBEW bargaining units did exercise that option this year, returning to negotiations with the county on wages and other financials.

And a new agreement with one of those units, the judicial unit, is what will be considered by the county board on Tuesday. The judicial unit represents county workers in the circuit clerk's office, probation department and bailiffs.

The other unit, nonjudicial, represents county employees in the state's attorney's office, Vermilion Manor Nursing Home, health department, animal regulation and all offices in the courthouse annex. IBEW Local 21 officials are still negotiating with the county on that unit's new financial agreement.

The other agreement the board will consider Tuesday is a full three-year contract with the Teamsters Local 26 representing the highway department workers. McMahon said although the proposed contract with the Teamsters is a three-year agreement, it will end in 2012, because the unit has gone almost a year without a contract.

McMahon said he did not yet want to release salary and other details of the proposed agreements with the Teamsters and IBEW until the county board meeting Tuesday. But he said the county, like last year, is still taking a conservative approach to negotiations, because the state is close to $1 million behind in reimbursing the county for its share of many county employee salaries.
