CHANNAHON — The Channahon Village Board this week approved contracts with village staff members who belong to the International Union of Operating Engineers, Local 150, Public Employees Division.

The contracts are for three divisions of the union members, which are police sergeants, public works employees and administrators.

According to Village Finance Manager Bob Guess, the contract is for three years and has already been ratified by the membership. The deal is not official, however, until Village President Joe Cook signs it, and he will wait until attorneys for both the village and the union have given the documents one final review.
