WAGE AND SALARY STRUCTURE - (Continued) <br /> <br />The City Manager stated that he is not in favor of the Fire Department's <br />request to reduce fire hours from 59.7 hours to 56 hours, at this time; <br />that the main point of disagreement with the Police Department is their <br />request for a change in the pension system which would be a very <br />expensive procedure and goes far beyond the values which are obtainable <br />by the remaining employees in the City's service. <br /> <br />Mr. Steven H. Silver, Attorney, 1255 Lincoln Boulevard, Santa Monica, <br />was present and stated he represents the Santa Aha FiremenTs Benevolent <br />Association because they felt there was some sort of problem or lack of <br />communication between the Association and the City Manager, I-Ie asked <br />that the State law on free and open communication be adhered to by both <br />sides to endeavor to reach agreement on all matters within the scope of <br />representation. The Mayor assured him the Council would hear him at any <br />time, but that consideration at this time would be premature due to the wage/ <br />price freeze; that he hoped the Association would continue to negotiate with <br />the City Manager and Staff. <br /> <br />RECESS <br /> <br />members present. <br /> <br />At 9:55 P.M., a recess was <br />declared. The meeting reconvened <br />at 10:10 P. M., with the same Council <br /> <br />BID CALL Councilman Markel suggested that <br />PROJECT 7015 the project to remodel the air <br /> conditioning for the City Main <br />Library and connect it to the Central Utility Facility would be more costly <br />than repairing or replacing the present system due to the fact that it would <br />have to be in operation evenings and weekends when other facilities would not <br />need it. The City Manager stated that the Central Utility Facility is connected <br />to the jail, and will provide air conditioning for the State and Federal building <br />also, and therefore must be in continuous operation. <br /> <br />On motion of Councilman Patterson, seconded by Councilman Villa, and <br />unanimously carried, Council approved plans and specifications and authorized <br />advertisement for bids on the following: <br /> <br />PROJECT 7015 - Remodel air conditioning for City Main Library <br />and connect to Central Utility Facility; opening date November 8, <br />1971. <br /> <br />CITY COUNCIL <br /> <br />-336 - <br /> <br />October 4, 1971 <br /> <br /> <br />
