SANTA ANA POLICE BENEVOLENT ASSOCIATION - (Continued) Councilman Evans stated that he thinks the morale factor is important; that his chief concern is crime reduction and other factors that would benefit the City, but that he will keep an open-mind for future discussion of the subject. Councilman Patterson stated that he was not opposed to the "4/10 Plan" but that he would prefer postponing any decision until the new Police Chief and City Manager have been appointed; and that the incentive plan deserves to be reviewed. Councilman Villa moved to amend the motion to add that denial was without prejudice for future consideration by staff as requests for subsequent fiscal years. Councilman Yamamoto seconded the motion to amend and it carried on the following roll call vote: AYES: Villa, Yamamoto, NOES: None ABSENT: None Evans, Herrin, Griset, Patterson, Markel Mr. Silver requested that the record indicate that in his opinion he had not had enough time to present the Association's position. Mr. Larry Nemelka, President of the Police Benevolent AssoCiation also spoke in favor of the "4/10 Plan" and explained that the delay in presenting the request had been due to procedural problems and the necessity for a survey of the men's preference; that the Management had promis~ed a 4-day work week would be implemented for patrol officers as part of last year's meet and confer negotiations; and that many officers, relying on that promise, had transferred back to patrol. Mr. Silver asked that the Council continue the hearing and postpone its decision until they are adequately informed on the matter. Councilman Herrin's motion, seconded by Councilman Patterson to deny the requests of the Police Benevolent Association, to grant the "4/10 Plan" and to approve an expanded incentive-rotation plan as part of last year's salary and wage benefits without prejudice for future consideration by staff as requests for subsequent fiscal years, carried on the following roll call vote: AYES: NOES: ABSENT: Herrin, Patterson, Villa, Evans, Griset, None None Yamamoto, Markel PUBLIC HEARING The Mayor opened the public hearing APPEAL NO. 308 to consider Appeal No. 308 filed by MINOR EXCEPTION 72-13 Great Western Reclamation Co. , Inc., from the Zoning Administrator's denial of Minor Exception Application 72-13, to waive required solid fence or wall in conjunction with outdoor storage for a refuse collection business at 1800 South Grand Avenue in the M 1 District.
