-2- operator, a one time bonus could be provided to those employees obtaining these certifications. 4. All insurance benefits provisions are presently included in the Master Labor Agreement and the inclusion of the suggested provision of insurance coverage for retired employees up to the age of• 65 is totally inappropriate as a Local Issue matter. 5. As previously stated for Item No. 3, salary provisions are contained within the Master Labor Agreement and longevity pay is not appropriate as a Local Issue item. There are three items that we would suggest the City submit to the Union as Local Issue items for discussion, those being: 1. Clarification of the language with respect to Injury on Duty benefits to clearly state that benefits paid for Injury on Duty would be the difference between Workman's Compensation benefits and the employee's normal salary. 2. Clarification of the vacation language contained within previously adopted Local Addendums in order to avoid any confusion previously experienced by the City with relation to the computerized accrual of vacation benefits. 3. In anticipation of legislation presently before the State Legislature which has a likelihood of being adopted during this Session, Mr. Smythe recommends that a clause relating to the provision of prorata benefits to non full-time employees, who work for the City on a regular basis as presently provided by the City's Personnel Code, Chapter 6, be included in any Local Addendums. I would ask for your comments on these items in order that a response might be submitted to Mr. Connors and negotiation of Local Issues might commence with the assistance of Mr. Smythe and in conjunction with Local Issue negotiations for other M.A.M.A. cities. Should you have any questions or require any additional information on these matters prior to their discussion at the April 16, 1903 Agenda Session, please do not hesitate to advise me. DFP/pf E •
