At 9:36 p.m., the Mayor reconvened the meeting. The Mayor noted that Council reviewed the results of the Executive Session of June 26, 1980, and stated that the Council did not in any way, manner or form threaten anyone's job in regard to the Meet and Confer meetings or the provisions that are being set forth, and Council-as-a-Whole denies these accusations. A representative of the Gilroy Police Association (Mr. George Bist) addressed the Council and noted that he was invited here tonight to make a presentation or discuss the proposed salary contract with Council during an Executive Session. The Mayor noted that he was invited in regard to the Executive Session scheduled in regard to Council being accused of threatening City Employees of the Police Association1s jobs and that Council has denied same. The Mayor further noted that if there was any comment in regard to the Meet and Confer process that he be referred to the City's Negotiator, Fred O. Wood. Mr. George Bist, Business Representative of Local 3, Operating Engineers, representing the Gilroy Police Officers' Association, addressed the Council noting that he was present at the City Adminis- trator1s request to speak directly to the Council during an Executive Session and that is why he is present at this meeting. -- - The Mayor ntoed that due to the present state of affairs same had to first go through the City's negotiator, r-1r. \.Jood. Mr. Bist inquired if the City Administrator had the authority to negotiate a contract. The Mayor noted that Mr. \4ood has the authority to negotiate a contract and refer same to Council for their approval. Councilman Cunningham inquired if Council could talk to the Negotiating Team during an Executive Session. Councilman Link objected to same noting that Council is not a part of the Negotiating Team, at this particular time, and that this is not in accord with the Meet and Confer procedure. - City Administrator Wood clarified Mr. Bist1s invitation to attend this Council Executive Session. He noted that Mr. Bist had requested a meeting with the City Council for June 27, 1980, and was informed that the Mayor or the majority of the Council only are authorized to call such a meetinq; that the City Council was having an adjourned regular meeting June 30, 1980, and that would be the earliest meeting that could be available; and that it was not his intention that Council would hear Mr. Bist at the Executive Session following the adjourned regular meeting. That was Mr. Bist's idea. ~... -- - .,~)~. -. '. .. 4427 p',,,..fJt Councilman Link noted that he was requested by Mr. Bist on June 27, 1980, to schedule a Council Meeting and was not aware at that time that the matter of concern was part of the Negotiating process for Meet and Confer; that he assumed that the request for said meeting was in regard to the accusation of Council threatening employees'ejobs. - -- Mr. Bist noted that he discussed with Councilman Link the fact that the Police Officers' Association had come to an agreement and were advised by the City Administrator to forward the document to his office to check for verbage, etc., and if there were any problems he (Mr. Wood) would contact the Association and Negotiator for same. He further noted that the document was forwarded to the City Administrator's Office, corrected for mistakes, and informed by the City Administrator that same would be presented to Council for their consideration and that the Association could have the ratification meeting June 27, 1980, which they, in fact, did do. He further noted that being notified late June 27, 1980, that Council had some problems with the agreement as presented and at that point attempted to arrange a meeting on same with Council, noting that the present contract expires at midnight June 30, 1980. Councilman Cunningham inquired of the Agreement noted by Mr. Bist. t1r. Bist further noted that this document was prepared as requested by the City Administrator, inquired if it would be proper to schedule a ratification meeting to approve said contract. He noted that he was informed by the City Administrator that this would be in order, but prior to taking same to the Police Association membership, allow him (Mr. Wood) time to review the document and discuss any problems he had. Mr. Bist noted that this was done and changes made to said agreement, presented to the membership and was ratified. - - City Administrator Wood noted that prior to the June 26, 1980, Executive Session of the Council, it was Council's position that a 10% maximum salary cap in the second and third years increase be included in the agreement and that this was presented to the Association including reducing some fifty (50) items requested to about six (6) items, but that they would not agree to the 10% cap in years two and three. He further noted that he recommended to the Association that they prepare a complete agreement and that same be presented to the Council without the 10% maximum salary increase to see if there was any Council movement. He noted that Council reconfirmed their previous stand for a 10% salary cap in years two and three. This later cap would be applied to the average increase. - City Administrator Wood noted that he met with the Police and Fire Associations on June 27, 1980, and informed them that Council had not changed their position on same. Councilman Cunningham inquired as to the City's next step to continue the Meet and Confer process. City Administrator Wood noted that it was agreed earlier, because Proposition 9 placed all of us in an unknown position, to extend the Meet and Confer Process to July 15, 1980, with retroactivity to July 1, 1980, in order to have adequate time to negotiate the contract in the event that an agreement could not be reached earlier. He further noted that the Associations and Council were advised of this previously but no formal action was ever taken by Council. ...... Councilman Pate noted that he is opposed to any kind of a meeting with anyone other than the Council and Staff members in Executive Session; that this type of meeting should be in the form of open session. Motion was made by Councilman Pate seconded by Councilman Link and carried that any agreement that is reached in regard to the Meet and Confer Process be retroactive to July 1, 1980, as long as it occurs before July 15, 1980. .... - Mr. Bist inquired if he is led to believe that Council does not wish to speak with him during Executive Session as he was requested to do. - The Mayor noted that Council only wished to meet with Council and Staff during Executive Sessions. At 9:52 p.m., the Mayor adjourned the meeting. ReSp~fullY sUbZtt~ , A._ ~2td~ ~~f_~tv Clerk
