Meet and Confer, adopted into law in Texas  in 2005, establishes a process for public employers and police and fire associations to meet and discuss issues such as wages,  work hours, and terms and conditions of employment.  The  Meet and Confer process is initiated when the association presents a petition to the City, requesting recognition as the sole and exclusive bargaining agent for all the police officers employed by the municipality, excluding the chief and excluding exempt employees.

Meet and Confer will recognize the MPA as the exclusive bargaining agent for all McKinney Police officers covered under the law, provide for an employee bargaining committee, require open and public deliberations relating to meet and confer agreements, and prohibit strikes or organized work actions. 

While a Meet and Confer agreement is in effect, a public employer may not accept a petition, with regard to the police officers of the municipality requesting an election to adopt municipal civil service under Chapter 143. 

See Texas Local Government Code Chapter 142.053 though 142.1605, for further information.

MPA pushes for police pay increase April 4th, 2006 -  City Council approves pay plan. 

MPA proposed a much needed pay  increase for the Police Department, to City Council Members in January 2006.  In February, City Hall  submitted their draft for a new pay plan. Together Police and Fire and HR revised and agreed upon a new proposed pay plan.  Council voted to approve the new pay plan on April 4th, 2006.  This pay plan benefits sworn police and firefighters and effectively moves McKinney police officer's starting pay up from 12th to 3rd among the benchmark cities. The McKinney Police Association would like to thank the McKinney City Council for listening to the concerns and needs of their public safety personnel and quickly responding.
