ADMINISTRATIVE NEWSLETTER <br />PAGE TWO <br />JANUARY 9, 1989 <br />POLICE CONTRACT NEGOTIATIONS <br />In late November of last year I was contacted by the <br />Business Agent for Teamsters Local 320 representi.na our <br />Police Officers regarding the settlement of a contract for <br />1989. I indicated to Mr. Weissenberger that it was my <br />desire to settle the contract as quickly as possible and, <br />therefore, made what I felt was a reasonable offer, that <br />being a 4% wage increase and a $10.00 per month increase in <br />insurance contribution in exchange for a caah dollar cap on <br />longevity benefits rather than the current percentage <br />provided for in the contract. Apparently, our officers have <br />decided not to accept this offer as the City received <br />correspondence from Teamsters Local 320 on January 4, 1989 <br />officially notifying us pursuant to the requirements of the <br />Public Employers Labor Relations Act that they are opening <br />negotiations on the 1989 contract and indicating to us that <br />their demands will be forthcoming. Once the demands have <br />been received, I will be meeting with you to discuss them <br />and relate to you my recommendations for the handling of <br />1989 contract negotiations. <br />MARTIN LUTHER KING HOLIDAY <br />Monday, January 16th is the State mandated holiday <br />recognizing Martin Luther King's birthday.
