thereupon directed staff to submit recommendations on how those protruding

139: SB 575 - STATUS UPDATE: Councilman Pickier asked for a status update on
SB 575 from the Intergovernmental Relations Office; City Manager Talley stated
that a report would be forthcoming.
153: CO~{ENTS ON LABOR NEGOTIATIONS: Councilman Bay stated relative to labor
negotiations, he was rather disappointed in the news releases he was reading
about the Anaheim Fire Association starting a political action fund to remove
Mayor Roth and himself from office. There seemed to be irony in a move like
that by ~he gentlemen who made up the Association considering their average
income level, that they would go after probably two of the most conservative
Republicans on the Council. When he looked at their average income, counting
their second jobs and whatnot, that put them in a fairly high tax bracket.
He would like to only respond to some of the rhetoric he had heard, so that
his position on some of those negotiations would be very clear. He had always
supported the Fire Department in the budgets and still would do so in the
future. The Council had a duty to the taxpayers of the City to reduce the
unfunded liabilities that were created and building against the City. Most of
the action and policies they stated during the negotiations were to do
something about those unfunded liabilities, which included action on two-tier
retirement. Looking across the country this year at labor negotiations in the
114
City Hail, Anaheim, California - COUNCIL MINUTES - January 31, 1984, 10:00 A.M.
private sector, and even in some of the public sectors, he had read articles
saying that most labor negotiations with unions in the private sector averaged
below three percent in pay raises. As he recalled, the contract imposed upon
the firemen by the Council gave a 6.1 percent pay increase. The intent of pay
increases given by the City over and above the average, and certainly way
above the inflation factor of the past year were made to supplement somewhat
the moves to put some controls on the fringe benefits of the City. The
private sector across the country was making broadscale changes in fringe
benefits. That included corporations in the City of Anaheim and those changes
this year included two-tier retirement for ali of the employees, and
particularly heavy moves on salaried and management employees within the
private sector. They were done at a time when those liabilities were
non-calculable and could not even be calculated out fifteen and twenty years,
because there were no controlling factors on them. The City was faced with
that same kind of problem on those fringe benefits.
He was amazed at some of the rhetoric he was hearing that implied that major
retirement benefits were taken away from existing firemen in the City. The
two-tier retirement was primarily aimed at people to be hired in the future in
the Fire Department. He could not comment on the Police Association labor
negotiations, because the Council had not ratified that contract as yet and,
therefore, he would hold his comments until that time.
He also had an additional comment on the Firemen's negotiations. It was not
his intent and he did not believe the intent of the Council to remove the
Widow's and Orphans Fund within those negotiations. He felt it occurred as a
"Catch-22" and as a technical part of the negotiations, and he hoped that the
Council could take some action to do something about that. He wanted to make
the foregoing comments, because the Council had not made comments previously
and for very good reasons. The Council took a solid front to support its
negotiators in the recent negotiations and until now, it was not right for
them to make comments or enter into any of them until they were completed.
Councilman Overholt stated that Councilman Bay's comments, he presumed, were
his personal opinions and did not necessarily, or may, represent the view of
the Council. He chose not to comment on labor negotiations, which were now
winding up.
105: PARKING AUTHORITY - COM~{ERCIAL-RECREATION AREA: Mayor Roth referred to
a letter received from Transpark relative to their proposal to form a Parking
Authority in the commercial-recreation area. He wanted to see where they were
going with that and directed staff to give a status report on that proposal.
REQUEST FOR CLOSED SESSION: The City Manager requested a Closed Session to
discuss labor relations, a personnel matter, litigation and potential
litigation with action anticipated; the City Attorney requested a Closed
Session to discuss litigation and potential litigation with possible action
anticipated.
Councilman Roth moved to recess into Closed Session and a lunch break, to be
held in the 7th Floor Conference Room. Councilman Overholt seconded the
motion. MOTION CARRIED. (11:14 a.m.)
115

Councilman Bay, calling for a point of order, stated that he understood all
the motions had only to do with the medical benefits and the time the
Memorandums of Understanding came up would be the appropriate time for him to
question the lack of the two-tier retirement provision. Therefore, he would
like to change his vote on those motions where he voted "No," to "Yes."
Mayor Roth thereupon accepted the UNANIMOUS VOTE on all the foregoing motions
approved after the last recess.
Councilman Bay asked for clarification that they were all, in fact, related to
medical provisions; Human Resources Director Garry McRae answered that there
were some other benefits, but they were ail related to benefit changes.

Pickier moved to approve an amendment to an agreement with Richards, Watson,

144: COUNTY JAIL AND LANDFILL FACILITY FEASIBILITY STUDY: Mayor Roth stated
that relative to the subject, the Council was continually "putting on the
heat" relative to the position of the Board of Supervisors, particularly four
of them~ favoring the Gypsum, Coal and Weir Canyon areas for a proposed jail
and landfill. He received a call from Supervisor Harriet Welder, and she said
she had not made up her mind. He encouraged his colleagues on the Council to
continue to work with the Board. He also had available for the press a
document announcing a hearing before the Board of Supervisors on Tuesday,
February 7, 1984, at 9:30 a.m., and requested that the press publicize the
meeting and suggest that residents attend. Unfortunately, the meeting was
scheduled the same day as the Council meeting. He, therefore, asked that the
City Manager send a representative such as Assistant City Manager James Ruth
and Planning Director Ronald Thompson to represent the entire Council, and at
least go on record in strong opposition to using either Gypsum Canyon, Weir
Canyon, Coal Canyon or anywhere else in that area for a dump site and jail
facility.
ADJOURNMENT: Councilman Roth moved to adjourn. Councilwoman Kaywood seconded
the motion. MOTION CARRIED. (4:00 p.m.)
