OCTOBER 1, 1975 Article XXIII - The holidays were limited to 6 with only two times regular pay. Delete Section 18.4 in its entirety. Article XIX - There was some discussion on this insurance with Mr. Locher saying that some of the personnel has coverage in their regular employment and he wondered if this would not make a difference in the premium. This point will be discussed later. Article XX - Add the word "consecutive" after 3 and add "grandmother and grandfather' to the list. Article XXI - The City does this at the present time in the form of Workmen's Compensation Insurance. Article XXIII - Mr. McLean said the City would provide the initial issue for the first year and then in the second year give a clothing allowance. The figure of $85.00 per year was suggested with Mr. Bastain asking if the Council was aware of the cost of uniforms and Mr. McLean saying they are. Mr. Bastain felt that this was not enough to pay for the cleaning and upkeep of the uniforms. There was a coffee break at 9:00 P.M. When the meeting resumed, Mr. Bastain suggested skipping Article's No. 24 & 25, consider No. 26 & 27 and return to the others later. The Council agreed. On Article XVI - This refers to what has been the usual proceedures of the City and merely confirms that these procedures, if not covered by this contract, will remain in force. Mayor Bohjanen suggested that these practices either be put in written form for the City records or elese be included in this contract. Article XVII - Mr. Locher felt the earliest date this contract could go into effect was May 16, 1975 but he would advise the Council that this Contract should become effective the date it is signed. Mr. Bastain insisted that the effective date would be the date that this department filed for certification. This would be February 2, 1975, the date the "Cease and Desist Order" was issued. Mr. McLean asked if this is a one year, two year, or three year contract. Mr. Bastain said the law allows three years, but the untion will consider a two year contract and prefers only a one year contract. Mr. Jaworski asked why only one year and not three? Mr. Bastain said they are not interested in three years in case there should be something that has been overlooked. This would give them an opportunity to change and correct the contract. Mr. Jaworski asked, if this contract is to start in February, in 1975, when does the Council negotiate for 1976? Mr. Wisenberger said, Now. Mr. Jaworski felt that negotiations for 1977 should start sometime in July or August in order to have the material for consideration at budget time.
