Health Insurance: If the Union is requesting more if the Police settle for more, will <br />AFSCME also take less if the Police settle for less. <br /> <br />0 <br /> <br />Parental Leave: The City feels it should be left at six weeks and include the current <br />language in the contract. There is the opportunity of applying for additional leave. <br /> <br />Mr. Nelson commented that he didn't understand the City's resistance regarding parental leave. <br /> <br />Ms. McAloney commented that the provisions are provided for expanded leave; therefore, it is not <br />necessm'y to change the leave wording. <br /> <br />Overtime After Eight Hours: The City is not willing to pay overtime unless 40 hours is <br />worked. <br /> <br />General Increase: Bottom line - 4.5% General Increase and no mid-year increase based on <br />performance. <br /> <br />Budgeting $50,000: The City finds that concept totally unacceptable. The positions will be <br />reviewed and the City won't know the extent of the money needed. Therefore, the City <br />cannot commit to specific dollars right now. <br /> <br />Mr. Nelson commented that it's nice to say you're going to do something, but a dollar amount <br />should be committed to. <br /> <br />Councilmember Hardin stated that the City knows the reviews have to be done, but they cannot <br />commit to dollar amounts. He added that the Union should be aware that the dollar amounts of the <br />package is more than what was budgeted for this year. To come up with additional monies, cuts <br />need to made somewhere. <br /> <br />Ms. McAloney commented that the hiring of additional people budgeted for in 1991 has been put <br />on hold. <br /> <br />The meeting recessed at 6:08 p.m. to allow the AFSCME Bargaining Unit to review the proposal <br />presented. <br /> <br />The meeting reconvened at 6:26 p.m. <br /> <br />The AFS CME Unit declm'ed a tentative agreement had been reached. <br /> <br />3. Health Insurance: Keep at $230.00, regardless of what the Police settle for. <br /> <br />6. Parental Leave: Keep previous language in. <br /> <br />7. Overtime: Agree - pay only after 40 hours. <br /> <br />Mr. Nelson commented that he thought the contract would be agreeable. The promise of the <br />comparable worth study will be helpful. He added that the good faith effort on behalf of the new <br />Council was a good selling point. <br /> <br />Councihnember Peterson stated that this contract has to be approved by the rest of the City Council <br />also. <br /> <br />Mr. Nelson asked if he was clear on the fact that all positions will be reviewed within six months <br />of the contract being signed. <br /> <br />Negotiating Committee/February 19, 1991 <br /> Page 5 of 6 <br /> <br /> <br />
