""IIIl e JSG 5/11/70 I 2. Collective Bargaining Ordinance - A public hearing has been called for May 11 to hear this ordinance. Staff has had discussions with Mr. Fraser, Chairman of the Employe- Employer Relations Committee, and has a be~ter understanding of the ordinance, but' has proposed some minor amendments for consideration. Section '3:-~: Suggest a~e~di~g- this section to, say "agents or representatives.", This would permit -use' of-a team, if desired'. II I Section 6 - A procedure is set up to resolve problems if not resolved by the PERB fact finding committee by compulsory arbitration procedures. This would be helped by addition of a phrase which would explain since fact finding committee is a creature of State, City Council has no authority to require that they become the arbitrating committee. Staff feels it might be necessary for the Council to appoint another committee if the State committee is not willing to serve as the arbitration committee. e. Section 6 - It is felt that, when dealing with already existing and funded unions, they should pay their share of impasse procedure costs. Another question concerns agreements, and whether discussion can be reopened only on those items which are budgetary matters, if both parties agree to that. There is some question about two-year agreements. There was Council discussion on the questions raised. I Mr. Fraser said on the proposal for Section 3, this was an oversight, and the committee would certainly be agreeable to the suggested amendment. Regarding the fact-finding committee, his committee had felt that they would have gained invaluable knowledge from serving in this capacity, and they wanted to make it automatic that they would continue to serve. They will, in a manner of speaking, have their homework done. Regarding the question of a two-year contract, Mr. Fraser felt this went to the negotiating table, and he did not think the ordinance precluded anything. The City Manager said staff could prepare rewording in these areas, and meet with Mr. Fraser and bring back proposals for amendment for discussion and final adoption at the regular meeting. Mr. McDonald moved seconded by Dr. Purdy to receive and place on file Items la, lb and 2 of the Committee report. Motion carried. 3. ASUO Delegate to City Council - This question came up at the last committee meeting. Copies of the minutes of meetings of 1964 concerning this question were distributed. Manager recommended that a student representative could be given all information and encouraged to attend all council meetings. I Mr. Alpert urged the Council to include a member of the ASUO as an ex officio member of the City Council. There was Council discussion about the meaning of ex officio, and whether the Council's main concern was not mechanics, but with getting contact with the student body. e Mr. Barnhard, student, s,aid the ASUO was primarily interested in having an official way to get input into the City Council. He suggested that the ASUO appoint a representative and that this person appear at City Council meetiggs. Councilman Mohr requested that the committee furnish the Council with a minority magori ty report and a summary. For the hearing record, ,the Council should have folders with all material which speaks to the issue. Mr. Williams agreed. and II II II II !I II [I Ii I I I I II I I I I Mayor Anderson suggested that the City Manager contact the administration and work out details, which could be brought back to the Council. He said this would be somewhat like the relationship between a lobbyist and the legislative body. Mr. Bob Green said the university has a group whose main function is lobbying and he felt it would be well to send a representative of that body. I I I II I: I! II il n II !I I !I II II as Soon as possible, and that his group be given sufficient prior notice.
