The <br />past Council chose not to become involved. Possibly a committee <br />could be set up to do the negotiations. After some discussion, the <br />general consensus was that the Council should be directly Involved <br />in the negotiations, the feeling being it will create a better <br />relationship between the Council and City personnel. Mr. Hartley <br />stated he would then let the present negotiators know their <br />services wilt no longer be required because the negotiations will <br />be done In-house. <br /> <br />The meeting was recessed, 7:20; reconvened at 7:22 p.m. <br /> <br />Councilmember-E]ect Beyer wanted to see the non-union members <br />be made part of the union to eliminate the division that exists <br />now between the two groups. <br /> <br />AIRPORT COMMISSION <br /> <br />Deputy Mayor Peterson stated the Airport Commission has not been <br />meeting.
