The Police Committee requested the City Attorney to investigate the possibility of collecting from those responsible for the damage done to Police cars in two recent accidents. Motion by Councilman Leeper that the City Council adopt the following general policy in matters of employment by the City Council: 1 - the acceptance of government employment carries with it an obligation to maintain the functions of government in continuous, peaceful and effectual operation. 2 - The City Council may not deprive itself, and cannot deprive any subsequent Council, by contract or otherwise, of the continuing legislative power to enact salary ordinances. Salary schedules should be comparable to those of Cities of like size and similar conditions. Since the annual tax rate is based on estimates of proposed expenditures for wages and other expenses, it is desirable that general salary ad- justments be effective only at the beginning of the fiscal year. 3 - The Council will confer and discuss wages and conditions 'i428 of employment with employees who request discussion, including employees designated by fellow-employees to represent them, subject to these limit- a tions : (a) The Council cannot enter into a binding contract with any organization governing future conditions of em- ployment since the Council possesses only those 'powers expressly given it by law, and a contract for the ex- clusive recognition of anyone organization of employees is incompatible with the nature of public administration; (b) No group of employees can have the exclusive right to speak for all the employees; (c) It is not feasible to adopt a strict system of job classification except on a broad basis because of the natu1le of the City's 'operations and the comparatively small number of persons employed; : (d) Any individual complaint regarding wages or working conditions should be presented first by the employee to his department head and if prompt action is not taken by the department head then the employee should present his complaint directly to the appropriate committee of the City Council. (4) The City Council represents and is responsible to all the people and must be free to hear and consider at any time the viewpoint of every local group in the matter of wages, working conditions and re- lated subjects.
