Andrew - We will look at making it more easily accessible. It was a unique circumstance in terms of issuing a
supplemental council agenda report.

I now see that if one knows to click "Agenda Correspondence," then click "2016," then click "12/13/16,"
and finally click "12/13/16 Item 15, Irons," one will find the document in question.
I'm not sure how many people would think to look in correspondence for a principle part of the Council
packet. I assumed correspondence meant citizen communications to Council, so I didn't look there. It
would make more sense to show the link to this document on the "agendas -and -minutes" face page
indicated below, given its importance.

Subject: Item 15, POA Settlement
Council,
First off, congratulations to Mayor Harmon and Councilmembers Pease and Gomez.
On Tuesday, you will be asked to agree to a settlement with the POA regarding the PERB lawsuit having
to do with the legality of Measure B. Measure B was the charter initiative which repealed binding
arbitration for SLO City public safety employees. Measure B received the support of 73% of City voters in
August 2011.
It is extremely disturbing that there is nothing in the publically available Council packet which provides the
specific terms of the proposed settlement. The one-page packet memo says it involves amending
Resolution 6620, which has to do with the City's personnel policies. In what way? All we are told is that
"Details of the negotiated settlement and the associated documents (still being finalized) will be issued
under separate cover."
I see that this lawsuit is on the closed session agenda before the public session. Are Council members
the only ones who are going to learn the proposed details in advance?
Given the importance of this matter, particularly since it involved an overwhelming vote of City residents, I
urge you to postpone approval of the negotiated settlement until the details can be publicized in advance
and interested parties have adequate time to review the details.
Thank you.
Former Council Member Andrew Carter
