Description
This case comes to us on a petition by the Madison Professional Police Officers Association (MPPOA) to review a decision of the court of appeals. In that decision, the court of appeals reversed the order of the circuit court for Dane county, Susan Steingass, circuit Judge. The circuit court held for MPPOA and resolved the dispute over the applicability of the City of Madisons residency requirement to the members of the MPPOA, by finding that under MPPOAs "me too" clause, because the city had moderated the residency requirement for another group of city employees, the MPPOA members must also be allowed to live outside the city. The court of appeals reversed, finding that the City of Madisons residency ordinance controlled over the "me too" clause of the MPPOA contract, and that therefore MPPOA members had to abide by the residency requirements. Because we conclude that the court of appeals erred, we reverse the court of appeals and reinstate the arbitrators award. Hence, we hold that, under MPPOAs "me too" clause, the MPPOA members are not bound by the City of Madisons residency requirement.
