KATHLEEN CEKANSKI-FARRAND Attorney at Law 205 West Jefferson Boulevard,Suite 412 South Bend, Indiana 46601 (219) 288-4935 Facsimile (219)234-7663 October 19, 1993 Members of the Common Council 4th Floor County City Building South Bend, IN 46601 Re: Technical Amendments to the Firefighters Salary Ordinances for Calendar years 1994, 1995 and 1996. Dear Council Members: On behalf of the City Negotiating Team, I am pleased to introduced for your review, discussion, and passage the attached Bill that would make technical corrections to Ordinance No. 8397-93 which was passed by the Council of July 29, 1993 and would also make technical corrections to Ordinance No. 8398-93 which was passed by the Common Council on August 1, 1993 . As you are aware, the members of Firefighters Local Union No. 362 ratified all of the terms and conditions of the City's wage, benefit and working conditions package offered by the- City of South Bend, with voting taking place on October 6th and October 7th. It is our understanding that the ratification vote was by an 8-1 margin. It should also be noted that revision to the Neo-Natal Article of the Collective Bargaining Agreement will also be recommended to the Board of Public Safety. It requires volunteers that signed up for that program to remain available for service throughout the six month period unless excused otherwise due to an emergency. The current Contract permits a two week withdrawal of the "volunteer" classification which will be deleted from that Article. On behalf of the City Negotiating Team, and the Firefighters Negotiating Team which is currently under the direction of Joseph Simeri, Esquire, I respectively request passage of the attached Ordinance. Thank you. Sincerely, Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand Council Attorney cc: Mayor Joseph E. Kernan City Negotiating Team Mr. Joseph Simeri, Esquire
