were given an opportunity to be heard. Council Member Taylor and Council President McGann, made

handled. He said a resolution is not binding, anduntil this community has a collective bar -
gaining bill, this situation could come up again and again. He said there was a public need
for collective bargaining. He said until the State law is changed the Council must take the rol-
of management. He indicated he would like to amend the bill on page 3, under item ''c" to read:
"The President of the Common Council shall select at least two Council Members to participate
in the bargaining process. Council Member Serge made a motion to amend, seconded by Council

the F.O.P., indicated that collective bargaining is not rleaningfulunless it includes binding
arbritration. He indicated this bill goes too far when it talks about fringe benefits. He
indicated this was something the Council should not handle. He indicated that the bargaining
unit should not be limited to sworn police and firemen. He said this bill did not reflect true
collective bargaining.' David Kickley, attorney for the firefighters,' indicated he concurred witl
remarks made by Mr. Herendeen. He indicated that binding arbritration was the most important
thing necessary. He asked that the Council defeat this bill. Council Member Taylor indicated
that as long as we have a frozen tax rate and no deficit spending the Council could not really
give any serious consideration to binding arbritration. Council Member Dombrowski made a motion
to table this bill, seconded by Council Member Voorde. The motion carried on a roll call vote
seven ayes and two nays (Council Members McGann and Taylor.)
