City Commission Meeting

Non -Agenda Item
(City Clerk Reports)
We have listened to the audio tape of the January 14th City
Commission Meeting and believe the following to be an exact
verbatim transcript of Commissioner De Yurre's motion and his
amendment thereto:
Notion: "I move that the Police Department
receive Martin Luther King Day off with
the understanding that we be made whole
somehow, we be made whole should that not
be made part of the final agreement that
is made with the union."
Amendment: "I amend my motion to include the Fire
Department also."
Insofar as the "sense" or "intention" of Commissioner
De Yurre's action, as we perceive it, we offer the following
language:
"A motion declaring that the union members of the Fire
and Police Departments shall have the right to observe
the birthday of the late Reverend Martin Luther King,
dr. as a paid holiday with the understanding that if
said holiday status is not recognized and agreed to in
the collective bargaining agreements to be reached
between the City and each union then the City
Commission shall be entitled to take whatever steps or
measures in regard to the members of such union as may
be necessary to recover the costs incurred by the City
resulting from this declaration."
If Commissioner De Yurre agrees with our perception you may
wish to reflect our interpretation on your CITY CLERK REPORTS. We
suggest that if you do use the above interpretation you so
indicate in your REPORTS by parenthetically adding "(The above
wording is a restatement of the actual motion: "I move that the
Police Department receive Martin Luther King Day off with the

also.").
