RESOLUTION NO. 445 OF THE COMMON COUNCIL OF THE CITY
OF GILROY ESTABLISHING POLICY AS TO PROBATIONARY FIREMAN'S
SALARY AND HIS CLOTHING ALLOWANCE UPON COMPLETION OF PRO-
BATIONARY PERIOD.
WHEREAS, the Common Council of the City of Gilroy has
for some time generally followed the practice of fixing
the pay of a probationary fireman at a sum equivalent to
95 per cent of that of a regular fireman and not to provide
any clothing allowance but the said Common Council has
never by any formal action established of record any
definite policy regarding any increase in pay when the
probationary period has expired or providing for any
clothing allowance; and
WHEREAS, said Council believes it to be for the good
of the City's Fire Department that a definite policy be
established of record regarding said matters;
NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved by the Common Council
that the pay of a fireman during his probationary period
shall be 5 per cent less than that of a regular fireman,
that said probationary period shall be 6 months service
and that after serving said probationary period of 6
months the pay of said fireman, if he is duly qualified
and acceptable as a regular fireman, shall be given an
increase of pay so that it will equal that of regular
fireman and also given an allowance of $75.00 for clothing
required by regular fireman during the course of their duty;

Be it also resolved that whenever the term ttregular
fireman" is used in this resolution, it shall be construed
to mean a fireman who has served a probationary period of
6 months and thereafter deemed by the Council to be
acceptable to continue as an employed fireman and who does
continue as such.
