SENTENCING Judge Carl Goldstein's ease: Jane V. Ponzo, 25, 3000 block New Castle New Castle, violation of halfway house probation, jAl i City union OKs pact New medical device used to heln heart attack victim M. Local 320 president Perry Davis said late Tuesday. Two months ago, Davis threatened a revolt against the Sills administration. Davis and the rank-and-file members were angry because Sills had proposed two years without a raise for union members citing the city's precarious financial condition but wanted to give raises to several top appointees.

Still, they agreed Tuesday to accept the pact. Davis said he urged ratification because the two sides will go back to the table to discuss a raise for 1994. Davis declined to discuss the matter further, saying he and city officials would issue a joint statement today. William J. Yanonis, deputy city personnel director, said the union accepted because of economic issues, such as a health-care plan, which doesn't require a weekly contribution by employees.

Local 320 is the first of the city's four unions to ratify a contract. All contracts had expired by July 31. The unions representing police, firefighters and white-collar workers still don't have a contract.
