FLAG SALUTE' Councilman Dutton led the assembly in the Pledge of Allegiance
to the flag.
SALARY PROPOSAL: The City Manager presented the recommended salary proposal and
amendments to personnel rules, advising that his recommendations were the
result of a series of negotiations with the various associations and unions
representing City employees.
Mr. Murdoch reported that agreement had been reached with the
Anaheim Municipal Employees Association (AMEA) and the Anaheim Firemen's
Association, and advised that for the employees represented by those two
organizations, and those unrepresented employees, the salaries would be
increased 7~ percent with the exception of certain positions, as set out in
the recommended resolution for a slightly higher rate, effective October 10,
1969. Further, that these exceptions were in line with changes in positions,
additional responsibilities, more substantial jobs, and with the policy of
the City Council in making every attempt to pay the prevailing wage scale in
the appropriate labor market for various classifications.
Regarding the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers (IBEW),
Mr. Murdoeh reported that no agreement had been reached; that normally in
that case, negotiations might continue; however, in this instance, the City
staff recommendations were being presented at this time without agreement or
memorandum of understanding.
Regarding the Anaheim Police Association, Mr. Murdoch further
advised that the Association had rejected the recommended increases in wages,
salaries and other benefits even though it was the final proposal by the City
staff. It was his understanding that their major concern was with only one
area~
In conclusion, Mr. Murdoch recommended the adoption of three
resolutiops. Ope for the employees represented by the Anaheim Municipal
Employees Association, the Anahe:i.m Firemen's Association. and the unrepresented
employees, and that two resolutions be adopted cont'n~ning the recommendations
of the staff for employees represented by both the Anaheim Police Association
and the IBEW, basically a 7~ percent increase for most positions, with
69-648
~Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - October 2~9:30 A.M.
the exceptions similar to those described in the recommendations for the other
City employees, effective October 10, 1969, contingent upon ratification of
the terms of the resolutions by the two organizations no later than midnight
this date. If the ratification did not occur, then rates of wages and salaries
would not be changed for those represented by the two organizations, pending
further action at a later date.
In response to Councilman Schutte's question, City Attorney Joseph Geisler
advised that time was urgent at this point; that negotiations had been extended
two extra weeks into the current pay period, and in order to make the changes
retroactive to October lOth, action must be taken within the current pay
period which ends at midnight, this date. Any increase in salaries beyond the
current pay period in which they occur could place the individual members of
the City Council personally financially liable for the difference.

The Mayor declared Resolution No. 69R-600 duly passed and adopted.
Mayor Clark asked if a representative of the Anaheim Police Association
wished to address the City Council.
James A. Bush, President, Anaheim Police Association, read letter from
the Association dated October 23, 1969, (copies furnished each Councilman),
accepting the City's proposal with the exception of the classification of
Police Sergeant which they requested be increased an additional 2½ percent.
Points set forth in said letter as the basis for their request included the
10 percent raise proposed for Fire Captain which placed that classification
2~ percent above Police Sergeant, whereas in the past, they had received the
same rate of pay; that the Orange County Sheriff Sergeant would be paid 2½
percent more than the Anaheim Sergeant, even if the additional 2½ percent were
approved; that the proposed increase for Sergeants would place them in tenth
position in the sixteen city "quartile" used as a guideline.
Mayor Clark asked if the Association was taking into consideration the
other benefits in the proposal and the existing fringe benefits for Anaheim
City employees.
Mr. Bush replied that in his opinion, the County Officers had a superior
retirement system, received shift differential pay, and had at least comparable
benefits in all other areas.
Discussion was held by the City Council relative to the increase proposed for
Police Lieutenants, it being noted that said position was in the exempt classi-
fication, and received no overtime pay for overtime worked nor were holidays
automatically paid~. '
Personnel Director Roy Heissner concurred that there were many variations
in fringe benefits between Orange County and the City of Anaheim, however, he
pointed out that in the study of the sixteen city "quartile" used as a guide-.
line, the City staff could not find one which offered shift differential pay.
He noted other concessions made in various benefit areas.

City Hall, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - October 23~ 1969~ 9:30 A.M.
Further discussion was held and Mr. Murdoch stated the staff felt that
the 7~ percent increase proposed for sergeants was appropriate; that the
spread between sergeant and lieutenant pay was not excessive and was appro-
priate, and he firmly recommended that the sergeants~' pay increase be adopted
as proposed.
An additional point noted by the City Manager was the availability of
a Post Advanced Certificate for sergeants which, if received, automatically
allowed an additional 2½ percent increase in pay,
Mro Bush reported that twelve of the thirty-four sergeants had received
their Post Advanced Certificates, however, to qualify took a great deal of
time and study.
Mr. Murdoch reported that the pay scales for Police Sergeant and Fire
Captain reflect a difference in the duties and responsibilities. Relative
to the point made that sergesnts would be tenth in the sixteen city "quartile",
he stated that they would gctually be equal with the salary paid by the City
of Los Angeles, or No. 8 position, as compared to lieutenants which would be
equal to the No. 3 position.
Mr. Bush advised that since other cities have had their raise for some
time, it was felt by the Association that the No. 10 spot was more nearly
correct.
Mayo~ Clark asked if anyone else wished to address the Council regarding
t~a Police Department's position. There was no response.
It was the consensus of the City Council that the proposal presented
and recommended by the City Manager was a fair plan.
RESOLUTION NO. 69R-601: Councilman Dutton offered Resolution No. 69R-601 for
adoption.

The i~ayor declared Resolution No. 69R-601 duly passed and adopted.
Mr~ Dallas Lore= Business Manager, representing employees in the IBEW,
addressed the City Council, advising that there were many areas where the
members of the Union and the City staff did not agree; that many job duties
and titles were being reassigned; one area of difference is the creation of
a "Trouble Man" working alone during the day and night performing duties
currently done by the Water Division. Another area is permitting Area Operators
to do switching in the field. Standby pay is to be eliminate~ causing a loss
of approximately $78.00 per week to a lineman and $90.00 per week to a line
crew ~oreman.
Mr~ Lore stated although their differences were not in the area of
salaries, they have agreed to take the proposal to the membership without a
recommendation. Further, they have been placed in an awkward position in
that as of midnight, there is no memorandum of understanding, no strike clause,
and everything is cancelled. He, thereupon, requested, should an agreement
not be reached by the membership, some way be found to extend the retroactiva
pay~

Anaheim. z_California - COUNCIL MINUTES - October 231.~_~969 9:30 AoM.
Mr. Murdoch reported that the creation of the position of "Trouble
Man" is felt to be essential for the efficient and economical operation
of the department. He felt the danger to a one-man operation was minimum.
In eliminating standby pay, it is management's opinion that the norr~al
compensation and part of the job includes the obligation to be available
on reasonable call for emergency situations. They are expected to respond
and are paid a premium rate when called. Under the former method of pay-
ment, it was felt that the City was not receiving a dollar return and the
procedure should be changed to obtain more efficiency and affectiveness
for dollars spent in this area.
Mr. Murdoch reported that the area of difference was the change in
operations which normally is a management prerogative.
He stated the dead-line was not arbitrarily established; it is
established by law and known all along. Recognizing this, the Council
adjourned to this date to extend the time as much as possible. The
alternative would be for the Council to take no action on the recommenda-
tions affecting those classifications so represented. However, his recom-
mendation would allow ratification by vote of the membership tonight and
provide salary increases and other benefits to be retroactive to October 10,
1969.
RESOLUTION NO. 69R-607. At the conclusion of the discussion, Councilman
Dutton offered Resolution No. 69R-602 for adoption, subject to ratifica-
tion by the membership of the International Brotherhood of Electrical
Workers by midnight, October 23, 1969.
