Attached for consideration by the South Bend Common Council on Monday, May 22,
2006 is a Resolution appointing a negotiator for the 2006 Teamster negotiations.
As we have done in the past, this Resolution names Jeffrey Jankowski as the negotiator
and indicates that the Board of Public Works will be passing a similar Resolution to begin the
negotiating process. The Resolution also indicates that Jeff Jankowski will keep the Council
advised of the composition of the negotiating team through Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand. Jeff
Jankowski will present this Resolution formally to the Council at its May 22, 2006 meeting and
will be available for any questions the Council members may have. It is the intent of the
negotiator that the negotiation team include a member of the South Bend Common Council as
recommended by the Common Council, as well as the Council's attorney, Ms. Kathleen
Cekanski-Farrand.
Thank you for your favorable consideration of this Resolution.
