Mr. Locher was also present. The Union was represented by Mr. Larry Bastian. Mayor Karth said the purpose of the meeting is to go through the Union contract and clear the several points remaining unsettled. If this is to be a three year contract, a salary schedule for Mrs. Pankratz must be set up. Mr. Weisenberger had called Mayor Karth and suggested the following salary schedule; 1978 - $792.00; 1979 - $847.00; 1980 - $906.00. Mayor Karth said the figures he would sugg- est are as follows: 1978- $780.00; 1979 - $835.00; 1980 - $894.00. This schedule would only be considered if this position remains in the bargining unit. Mr. McLean suggested starting from the top and clean up the points in order to insure there are no points missed. The salaries was dicussed with Mayor Karth's suggested figures for Mrs. Pankratz and a $75.00 increase each six months for the Patrolmen. The Council agreed to this. The $75.00 is to be added to the current salary steps as they appear in the 1977 contract. Mr. Locher asked that 3.13 be added to clarify 'working days' as opposed to 'calendar days'. Mr. Bastian said this is automatically considered as 'calendar days' where not specifically stated as 'working days'. Mr. Bastian asked that under 6.1, a statement to the effect "that new members may or may not join the Union, but if they do not, then they must pay 85% of the current union dues. The Council had no objection. Mr. Bastian said under Article VII he would insert the word 'calendar' wherever necessary. A discussion of 9.1 dealing with seniority clarified the implications this Article has in relationship to part time Personnel. The Seniority is to be computed on the actual.hours worked. • Under 9.3, the words 'based on relevant job qualifications' is to be added. There was discussion on whether this clause should be added to 9.4, with the general consensus of the Council that it should not be added. 10.5 - This clause applies only to non - veteran personnel. Under the Veterans Preference Act, a Veteran may not be suspended without pay. Under Article XVI, delete the word 'Severance' in the title and add the word 'maximum' after 'The' in the second line. Under Article XVII, the following sentence will be added. "Employees will not use earned accumulated vacation time during their first year of employment without specific employer authorization ". Under Article XVIII, the personnel is now being paid for eight Holidays. For the year 1978, one floater will be added and for the year 1980, the second floater will be given. This will be a total of nine paid Holidays for 1978 & 1979 and ten for 1980. Article XIX will be changed to read, "all eligible employees will join the H & W plan offered by the City. The City will pay coverage for employees only for Hospitalization, Life Insurance, and Long Term Disability as the present policy provides per policy limits. If the dependents are to be covered, the employee will assume the cost of this coverage.
