The February 23, 1987, meeting of the Personnel and Finance Committee was .
called to order by its Chairman, Councilman Beverlie Beck, at 4:15 p.m. in
the Council informal meeting room. Persons in attendance included:
Councilmen Serge, Braboy, Puzzello, Beck, Voorde, Paszek, and Zakrzewski;
Mr. Michael Vance and Kathleen Cekanski-Farrand.
Councilman Beck noted that the purpose of the meeting was to review Bill
13-87 which would amend Chapter 2 Article 8 of the Municipal Code of the
City of South Bend entitled "City Officers and Employees."
The Council Attorney was then called upon to review the Bill. She noted
that Bill 13-87 would amend three (3) specific Sections of the Municipal
Code, namely 2-119, 2-120, and 2-121. These Sections deal with sick leave
policies, vacation policies, and holidays.
Mrs. Farrand noted that the ordinance was necessary in order to bring the
City Code in compliance with Ordinance 7667-86 and Ordinance 7675-86 which
were passed by the Common Council last summer. She also noted that the
agreement entered into between the City of South Bend through the Board of
Public Works and Teamster Local #364 was a three (3) year agreement
effective January 1, 1987 through December 31, 1989. By amending the City
Code, the specific Sections would also be consistent with the Teamster
agreement.
Mrs. Farrand noted that basically the language of the Ordinances passed last
sunnier was being formally incorporated into the new City Code language;
thus, the two-tiered concept of employees who had been placed as of December
31, 1986, and new employees hired after December 31, 1986, would have their
respective sick leave policies and vacation policies addressed.
Additionally, the holiday schedule reflected the cutback to seven and
one-half (7-1/2) designated holidays which are annually approved by the
Board of Public Works and two (2) non-designated holidays.
She also noted that the Ordinance affecting these three (3) areas
specifically exempted sworn police officers and firefighters. She noted
that this would be the last step on behalf of the City Wage Negotiating Team
to make sure that all policies and procedures affecting organized and
non-organized City employees into compliance with all of the agreements.
reached last summer and formally approved by Ordinance.
Following favorable discussion by the Committee members, Councilman Beck
made a motion, seconded by Councilman Braboy, that Bill 13-87 be recommended
favorably to Council. The motion passed unanimously.There being no further business to come before the Committee, the meeting
was adjourned at 4:30 p.m.
Respectfully submitted,
