Richard D. Miller, Administrative Officer, announced that the San Luis Obispo
City Employees' Association:had reached an agreement and had signed a memor-
andum of understanding with the.City, but that the Police Officers' Association
and the Firefighters' Association had not done so and that they were asking the
City Council to consider a resolution giving both organizations a Notice of
Intention to adopt wage and benefit packages without formal understanding.
Mayor Schwartz asked if anyone present had something to bring to the Council's
attention on this matter.
William Calloway,.President of the Firefighters' Association, stated he objected
to the Council's proposal of unilaterally adopting a wage and benefit package
for the Fire Department. He felt that the Firefighters' Association had gone
down as far as they could in their negotiations with the City management and
anything that was cut-now would come out of the existing salary. He stated his
association would not sign the M.O.U. as submitted.
Mike Povero, Firefighter, and member of the negotiating team, felt that each
year that he had been involved, the City's management team became less-and less
willing to honestly negotiate under meet - and - confer rules of the Milias- Meyers-
Brown Act and they only dictate what the City will do, not what was fair to the
firefighters.
R.D. Miller, Administrative Officer, stated that.the employees still had time
to come to an agreement as the Council's action was set for August 1, 1978, to
to adopt an agreement unilaterally for all employee groups.
Mike Povero continued, upon question, that his unit felt that any future talks
with the City would be fruitless as they felt the City Staff did not intend to
mdet_and- cgnfdiein ariy fairness to their employees.
Dale Strobridge, Police Officers' Association, reiterated his previous opinion
1 that the City Council did not need the so- called state bail -out money under
Proposition 13 as the City had too much money now.-and was not a necessary item.
He felt it was only being done at the expense of the city employees salary and
fringe benefits. He did not feel that Proposition 13 voted by the people
intended to make city employees the victims of the entire action. He felt
that the Police Officers' Association was willing to negotiate for a package.
He also felt that the City Council should consider that the impound money for
employees salaries be placed in the bank and that any interest be allocated
back along with the salary increases if they are unfrozen by the state.

resolution was introduced: Resolution No. 3611 (1978 Series), a resolution of
