<br />RESOLUTIONS
<br />RESOLUTION A RESOLUTION SETTING FORTH CERTAIN EQUITABLE GUIDELINES
<br />TO BE USED WHEN DETERMINING SALARIES FOR ALL MUNICIPAL
<br />EMPLOYEES FOR THE 1981 CALENDAR YEAR.
<br />A public hearing was held on the resolution at this time. Council Member Voorde indicated that
<br />in light of the Teamsters agreement of an across the board increase of $936 he was going to
<br />ask the Council to continue public hearing on this resolution until July 28. He made a motion
<br />to continue, seconded by Council Member Taylor. After a lengthly discussion, it was determined
<br />that due to the Teamsters agreement and the fact that the fire and police package included
<br />benefits, it would be difficult to come up with a dollar amount. Council Member Voorde with-
<br />drew his motion. Joseph Kernan, City Controller, spoke against this resolution. Patrick
<br />McMahon, Director of Public Works, spoke against this resolution and the procedure of giving
<br />across - the -board increases. Robert Warnock, business agent for Teamsters 364, explained how
<br />they negotiated the $936, which averages 7.9 %. Council Member Voorde made a motion to amend
<br />the resolution in Section II, second paragraph, fifth sentence, by adding salaried, between
<br />other and city, thus reading no other salaried city employee - - -. The motion failed for lack
<br />of a second. Council Member Crone made a motion to recess, seconded by Council Member
<br />Kopczynski. The motion carried and the meeting was recessed at 10:35 p.m., and reconvened at
<br />10:50 p.m. Council Member Voorde indicated there continued to be confusion as to what dollar
<br />amount is represented in the firefighter's package. He made a motion to strike this resolution,
<br />seconded by Council Member Kopczynski. The motion carried.
