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, • Louncilman teverlie J.
