G~ e 2/24/70 inappropriate ordinance in that it: 1) provides for binding arbitrations without consider- ation being given to proper bargaining procedures; 2) chooses two bargaining representatives without giving the city employes the opportunity to select their own bargaining represent- ative, if any; 3) has incomplete and inappropriate utilization of Chapter 295 ORS. I In answer to Councilwoman Hayward, Mr. Fraser said this policy would prevent the Council from having to negotiate on an individual basis and yet would provide the right of the Council to make the ultimate decision. eouncil members discussed various points of the report with the committee. Dr. Purdy asked whether the committee would work with the City Attorney to draw up an ordinance and make this a workable agreement between City, State and employes. Mr. Fraser said that was their thinking, and in answer to Mrs. Hayward, said they had no time schedule in mind. He expiliained that they felt the City Attorney was acquainted with the extent of powers of the City and budget schedules, and that this would be an ideal oppprtunity for the Attorney to acquaint himself with the ordinance. Mr. Fraser did feel this work could be completed before work started on the 1971-72 budget. e There was discussion concerning the committee recommendation that the Council go on record as opposed to the present charter amendment proposed by the Firefighters Assoc., and whether the Council wished to do this.
