<br /> Pat Flynn, Fire Fighters business agent, expressed concern about further delay in the
<br /> matter, and said he felt the best procedure was to proceed with bargaining, using the
<br /> committee's services should an impasse develop. It was the Council's consensus that
<br /> e the intent of creating a committee was to help describe procedures for employe-employer
<br /> relations, and that that interest would best be served by awaiting the commitee's report
<br /> before further discussion on collective bargaining. The Mayor stressed the point that
<br /> there has been no delay, as such, in the committee's organization, that it has moved
<br /> I as quickly as possible, and said he would 'rather have, the committee do a thorough
<br /> study, in order to present facts on which to base a decision. Mr. Flynn again commented
<br /> on delay in the committee's work, and was joined by Frank -Jackson, president of the
<br /> Fire Fighters, who asked that a time limit be set as to when the committee's report
<br /> would be given to the Council. The City Manager recognized the help given by the Fire
<br /> Fighters and other City employes in ;the recent City election, and, in answer to Mr.
<br /> Flynn's comment that the issue has been before the Council for at least six years, said
<br /> a decision in' the matter was made twice, but the question was again raised by the Fire
<br /> Fighters.
<br /> Dr. Purdy moved seconded by Mr. Gribskov to await the co~mittee's report before
<br /> scheduling further discussion of collective bargaining. .. Mo:tion carried, Mrs. Beal
<br /> I voting no.

<br /> possible.

<br /> e ing a committee report. .-
