You will recall that the City Negotiating Team was authorized to represent the Common Council, the Board of Public Safety, and the City Administration in all wage negotiations for the City. Our first meeting with the F.O.P. Bargaining Committee for the Fraternal Order of Police, Lodge No. 36, was held on May 1, 1986. Numerous negotiating sessions since that time have taken place. Negotiations between the respective bargaining teams culminated in a tentative agreement being reached between the bargaining committees. Unfortunately, the tentative agreement was subsequently turned down by the rank and file of the Police Department. The City Negotiating Team has been clear in its objectives and has had the unanimous and continuing support of the South Bend Common Council and the City Administration. The overall goals which the City Negotiating Team have attempted to achieve include increased productivity of City personnel resulting in better service to the public and decreasing paid time off, as well as negotiating a fair wage and benefit package which can be afforded by the City. In accordance with the directives received by your negotiating team, the City Negotiating Team has stated on numerous occasions that the best possible wage and benefit package would be the one negotiated across the table. The City Negotiating Team recommends the attached ordinance to the Common Council. It would freeze wages at 1986 levels for 1987 and 1988 and would alter current vacation, holiday, and sick leave policies. It should be noted however, that your team is ready and willing to continue to meet with the F.O.P. Bargaining Committee and that it will supplement its present recommendation in writing to the Common Council prior to the time that the ordinance is scheduled for public hearing. Although the City Negotiating Team is ready, willing, and able to sit down and continue to meet in negotiation sessions with the F.O.P. Bargaining Committee, it has informed the F.O.P. Bargaining Committee that it will not do so, if any type of illegal job action is then underway. Sincerely, City Negotiating Team By: 48, •.n R. Hunt, airman Janie W: 'u.y lop i Michael L.
