born of inexperience. He though the CRB was merely requesting clarity on the issues involved. He thought that <br />the issue related to disclosure was somewhat out of the City’s hands given that it was governed by State law. He <br />said that Oregon was quite restrictive in what was disclosed. Mr. Brown believed that the council should clarify <br />the other two issues and suggested that the CRB be asked to come up with some recommendations. <br /> <br />Mr. Zelenka distinguished the issues of definitions and clarifications from that of structural authority changes. <br />He believed that issues related to authority and structural changes needed to be reviewed by a new PAORC. He <br />also believed that the lack of a definition of “good cause” was not an issue of structural authority but rather <br />something that the auditor and CRB could work through and bring back to the council. He suggested that the <br />CRB continue to identify such issues and recommend remedies. <br /> <br />Mr. Zelenka expressed appreciation for the CRB’s evaluation of the Police Auditor. He agreed with the remarks <br />of Mayor Piercy regarding that assessment and commended the work of Mr. Gissiner. <br /> <br />Mr. Gissiner agreed with Mr. McIntyre about some of the clarity issues raised by the CRB and the agreements <br />that had been written before he arrived; some of them created ambiguities, depending on one’s interpretation. <br /> <br />Mr. Gissiner commended the preparation and hard work of the CRB. <br /> <br />Speaking to Mr. Zelenka’s earlier remark that a municipal ordinance trumped a collective bargaining agreement, <br />Mr. Klein indicated that the CRB’s protocols were part of the City’s collective bargaining agreement with the <br />police union, and when that agreement was renegotiated, the City and union could revisit them. The collective <br />bargaining agreement did not override the local ordinance, but if a local ordinance inconsistent with the <br />agreement was passed after the contract was signed by the manager, that ordinance was not consistent with State <br />law and was unenforceable. If management and the union could not reach agreement, the issue went to <br />arbitration, and the arbitrator was not bound by local ordinances. <br /> <br />Mr. Clark adjourned the work session at 1:30 p.m. <br /> <br />Respectfully submitted, <br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />Jon Ruiz, <br />City Manager <br /> <br />(Recorded by Kimberly Young) <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />MINUTES—City Council April 14, 2010 Page 8 <br />
