Re: ORDINANCE NO. 5991 -76
AN ORDINANCE FIXING THE ANNUAL PAY OF
POLICEMEN FOR THE CALENDAR YEAR 1977
Dear Mr. Parent:
At the Public Hearing on the above Ordinance on Monday, July 19, 1976
a number of amendments were made. At one point in the proceedings
Councilwoman Adams moved to amend Section 2 of the Ordinance. As you
recall, that is the suggested amendment that gave minimum wage increases
to police officers. Along with the defeat of the amendment went two
other proposed changes which we think are important and significant.
As you recall, when we negotiated the wage ordinance we were particularly
interested in making sure that no officer received less money in the
year of 1977 than he received in 1976. Section 2 of the ordinance makes
reference to that understanding but I feel that it is unintentionally
restrictive because of the inclusion of two words in that section. The
word "based" found in line 2 of Section 2 of the ordinance should be
stricken. As you know, it was intended that the net pay of the officer
be the amount for comparison to make sure that he does not take a cut in
pay. Then, in that same section, in the second to the last line the
word "may" should be changed to shall.
Pursuant to the Council and our understanding of the intended ordinance
I have attached a draft of a proposed ordinance which we would ask you
take up at the Council meeting on July 26, 1976 reflecting the changes
which I have set forth-in the above paragraph. Hopefully, the Council
will see fit to make the changes which are suggested in the attached
proposal so that we do not encounter difficulty in the administration
of the pay ordinance.
If you have questions or if I can be of further assistance please
contact me.
V r� y truly yours.
GEH:pec GEORGE E. HERENDEEN
