The First Selectman shall not execute any alteration or amendment
to any municipal union labor contract by way of a side letter or any
other document in any way which would bind the Town to a significant
expenditure or impose a significant financial impact upon the Town
without the approval of the Representative Town Meeting. A "significant
expenditure" and a "significant financial impact" are deemed to be
an expenditure which would obligate the Town to the payment of $10,000
or more per year. The foregoing restriction shall not apply to the
following labor proceedings: interest arbitrations; grievances; unfair
labor practices; or municipal prohibited practices.
