V.fJ ' ( . ~ Hershner also questioned the apparent inconsistency and asked about the status' of arterials in the Willakenzie area, Planning Director said the Planning Commission recognized the inconsistency in its action, but it is the result of the Commission's not liking the original designation of Norkenzie Road as an ar~erial and asked the staff to review procedures to allow greater densities on that street. It was agreed to include referral of this item to a joint session of the Planning Commission and Council in the original motion, making it read: Mr. Mohr moved seconded by Mrs. Beal to uphold the Planning Commission recommendation to deny Items 1 and 2, and refer Item 3 to joint session of the Planning Commission and Council.

Previously discussed at committee meeting on March 15, 1972. Minutes of that meeting'> appear below printed in i tali cs. . A. Fire Fighters Contract - Manager distributed copies and read a memo from the Per- sonnel Director concerning result of arbitration on the contract with the Inter- national Association of Fire Fighters, Local 851. He recommended permission to sign the contract (for period ending June 30, 1973) be granted. Councilman Williams asked wi th reference to the statement "Union membership will be a condition of employment only for those who have voluntarily become members" whether a member is obligated to remain a member or will no longer be permi tted to work for the fire department if he wi thdraws. Manager said there is a two-week period once a year in which a member may withdraw. Councilman Mohr asked the Manager's iIflpression of the "final offers" system of arbitration. Manager 'said some problems experienced in the whole process may not be attributable to the "filial offers" procedure. Staff has some qualms about the City's paying all of the costs of arbitration in that it may remove motivation for bargaining in good faith. He said the procedure has created a good deal of interest nationwide. It was noted that Senator Packwood has written this procedure into a bill he has introduced on transportation, and that the arbi ters themselves do not care too much about not being able to nego- tiate. Further, that there seems to be no way of being sure that the final offers have anything to do with disputes unresolved during negotiations. . Mr. Williams moved seconded by Mr. Mohr that the contract with the Fire Fighters be signed. Motion carried unanimously. Comm 3/15/72 Approve B.
