Billings police officers voted in favor of a new contract this afternoon. The City Council must now approve the deal before it's official. The council will consider the contract Monday night.Union president Mike Gilluly said nearly all of the membership at the meeting voted in favor of the two-year contract, which calls for a 3 percent cost-of-living raise in the first year and a 2.9 percent COLA in the second year. There are other changes to the new contract as well, such as a change to how longevity pay is calculated, and new physical fitness testing procedures.
