Past Practice is defined in Article 1, and refers to “a policy, procedure or practice which has been continuous and which does not have a cost factor to the City and/or monetary benefit to a member.”) Section 2.7 could be interpreted to prohibit the City from making changes – without obtaining the Union’s agreement or going through a negotiation process culminating in binding arbitration – to long-standing rules and regulations governing the nuts and bolts of policing. These could be some of the very same rules and regulations sought to be changed by those who are advocating for police reform. It is important to get information from sources on the ground in Columbus (ideally, the Contract Compliance Administrator or someone in a similar Labor Relations position) about how Section 2.7 has worked as a practical matter in the past. Depending on the feedback from local sources, there could be good reason to seek to eliminate Section 2.7 or at least limit its applicability to “Past Benefits” (also defined in Article 1). If this were accomplished, the City could have greater flexibility to quickly make changes to its police operations.] Police Contract Negotiations Toolkit: Columbus 21
