On Dec. 19, Urbana City Council considered a resolution to approve a new collective bargaining agreement between the City of Urbana and the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge #70, which represents the officers of the Urbana Police Department. This new contract, which according to Urbana Ward 2 Alderman Christopher Evans has been negotiated in secret, is being rushed for approval more than six months before the current contract expires on June 30, 2023. In addition, the new 73-page contract was provided to the City Council only four days prior to the Dec.
