Mr. Jaworski felt flooding should be done by the peiple who use the rinks.
Mr. Zelinka felt that cutting in the hours of service by the Police Department and
thus reduce the size and costs for that department should be considered.
The Clerk was instructed to compute costs for the retroactive pay that is part
of the nion contract and add to the cost figures for that department. It was also
suggested that the insurance program be the one that excludes the retirement portion
since all Police personnel must contribute to the PERA fund.
It was suggested the Council continue this meeting until Monday, January 5, 1976, and
ask the Attorney to attend a meeting at 7:00 P.M. to go over this report for possible
corrections before the mediation meeting to be held on Tuesday, January 6, 1976.
Mr. Marier suggested a 54% raise, $20.00 towards the Central State Ins. program without
the retirement clause, vacation schedule and uniforms as a City offer.
The length of this contract was questioned and Mr. McLean said it would expire on
December 31, 1976.
Mr. Zelinka said that retroactive pay cannot be considered since there are insufficient
funds to pay and would be setting a precedent.

Mayor Bohjanen have not been sworn in. Mr. Jaworski said all members must be sworn in.
