49~ e 10/30/67 I The Manager said the questions in the report were submitted on the assumption the Council could or would proceed in the direction of formal recognition and bargaining, but prior to setting up machinery or entering into negotiations or a contract, these questions would need to be answered. He said the questions could probably best be answered by work- ing with representatives of both the unions and other non-union employes. Considerable discussion followed pro and con on whether to enter into collective bargain- ing and up9n the motion itself, whether its passage would in effect approve collective bargaining. Frank Jackson asked that some time limit be set for the item to be returned to the Council for consideration. A vote was taken on the motion to further consider the questions posed in the Manager.s report, and motion carried, Councilmen Purdy and McNutt voting no. Mrs. Hayward moved seconded by Mrs. Lauris that the City Manager be asked to join with representatives e from unions in trying to provide the Council with answers to these questions and that the report which is made to the Council in reply to these questions be a joint report from the unions and the adminis- trat ion. *,'\ A short discussion resulted in withdrawal of the motion with the consent of the second. Mr. Ferrar asked if the report from the Manager on the questions would be returned before the budget- I ing process is started. The Manager said work is not usually started on the budget document until mid-March and since no salary survey is planned this year, he could see no reason why work can.t start now on these questions with a report returned to the Council about mid-January. 1 Bids. 7th and Willamette Park Lot.
