IN
f APPLICAIPIONS AND PETITIONS I
Attorney Richard Kreisler addressed Council on behalf of the members of
G,Y the Police Department. Ile stated that the purpose of his being here is
to determine what, if any impasse procedures can be mutually agreed to.
( i
He explained that the Employer - Employee resolution has been complied
with to this point, and the parties through the meet and confer process
have determined that an agreement cannot be reached. �g�%;'_
He referred to a letter from the Association to the City Manager on July
�€ 29 which outlined the final position. The letter dealing with uniform ;;`�r
provisions was amended later during the impasse meeting. He spoke of t�J1
' meetings of August 10 and 14 with the City Manager during which no reso-
lution of differences was achieved. He mentioned also a letter to Counci�
{' Police regarding the August 14 meeting and its agenda.
Association
r Impasses
Position Mr. Kreisler explained that before August 10, it was apparent that the
meetings were meaningless; that the parties, on their own, were not able
g
to reach an agreement. However, the resolution requires the meetings,
�s and the Police complied. At that time he suggested to Mr. Christiansen �Y`til
that the parties agree to non-binding arbitration.
Mr. Kreisler explained what the Association envisioned as being entailed
in arbitration proceedings; it is that an individual would come in, in a "fig
non-binding manner, and recommend a settlement. He reminded Council than ;
in 1976 this process was labled Fact binding. He explained that the
difference between fact finding and arbitration was being that the Fact
Finder would not propose a settlement; he would otherwise have full }�
subpoena powers; he would have a hearing that would in effect be in evi-
denti.ary hearing; all, or one of the Councilmembers would be called to
testify under oath; various other witnesses, experts of the Association
would testify. Documents would be offered and received in evidence.

APPLICATIONS AND PETITIONS (Continued)
' ,
at£ "If neither of those proposals are acceptable to the Council, then we stiff
propose to bypass mediation. Mediation, under your resolution appears ��sf
(x' to be the one impasse procedure that can be imposed by the Council upon �. 1.
parties," he stated. He added, "To bring a mediator in is a waste of
a{
his time, our time, andyour time. We have exhausted that."
Concluding his presentation, Mr. Kreisler stated, "To sur, it up, we are ! �f
r
proposing arbitration in lieu of fact finding and I want you to clearly
13,v �1
understand that our proposal would be for an evidentiary hearing. If
Police those are unacceptable to you, we propose to have mediation waived. Let , (a)
U) Association
each party party then go about his business, resolving this dispute in the wayE �t
Impasse � S
Position he sees fit,"
tl In response to Mr. Kreisler's question about a reply, Mayor DeMirjyn jet
stated that Council would adjourn this evening to an executive session,
and then will reconvene to a public meeting and will give our position
at that time.
�I
�1 Councilman Martinez added that in this afternoon's executive session,
no decision was made.

No. 347 for a three unit planned residential development located on the

3. 1981 First Semi-Annual Building r 1�� g Permit Allocations
Councilman Roth stated he had just returned from vacation and was unpre-
pared to go through the allocations at this time, Councilman Riordan ' �(
suggested setting a special time for this. Council concurred to adjourn }I{
lit{s g's session to Tuesday, September 8, 1981 at 7:00 P.M. in
this evening's y, p , i
the Council Chambers to consider the 1981 First Semi-Annual Building
Permit Allocations.
E i Councilman Roth noted the schools had granted a negative ten points on
basically all the projects and stated he
y p j personally felt this was an
incorrect application of the ordinance; that the schools had not gone
��yt1 through the impaction procedure; and moved to strike the negative ten
wherever the schools had applied the negative ten to correct this mistake.
Councilman Gorman seconded the motion_Clarifying the action, Planning
Director Schindler stated Council was in effect adding ten points to
each project and pointed out that this would qualify one more project. �s

OTHER LANNING ITEMS FOR COUNCIL CONSIDERATION (Continued)
t
{ ( In answer to Mr. DeMirjyn's questioning additional points for projects
adjoining parks, Mr. Schindler explained credit was given based on l
�lm proximity to a public park, unimproved and improved. He further stated
the system was not absolutely completely fair to everybody but that
adjustments are being made as we go along, and that the purpose of the � f
point rating system is to come up with some method of distinguishing
t
the projects. This category can be reviewed along with the other sug-
gested changes.
( Mrs. Riordan reminded Council the Planning Commission would like a
1t
A( ( joint meeting to discuss changes to the ordinance. Mr. Garman stated
�!j Council would like to hear any recommendations but would prefer that il`4
alt the Planning Commission discuss them and reach a consensus.
Mr. Gorman then explained the reason there seems to be some inconsisten-
cies .in the Environmental Esthestic Quality area with development versus,
lot sale subdivisions is that lot sale subdivisions are given a bonus
of one point per lot. This was done as a policy to encourage lot sale I, o
subdivisions. He pointed out this may be an inappropriate place for itS '
to be in the ordinance but at the time it was done, it was convenient
to put it there.
t At this time, Mr. Gorman asked for perceptions from others concerningt
his observation of the past and now this particular proceeding of the @1'
3,
benefit and accomplishment of passing these allocations through the
Planning Commission. As it is primarily an administerial act, Mr. Gorma
R felt we were possibly unnecessarily lengthening the process. He stated
he was inclined to consider a revision to the ordinance that would not
require a review before the Planning Commission formally, but rather 4it¢j
would notify everyone that the appeal period had started after staff ( i
completed their review, after which Council would meet at a special
�t7 session to consider allocations.
Dr. Roth agreed with this stating it had been thought a review by the
Planning Commission would assure fairness on behalf of the allocation � a
of points but that it has not happened that way.
4
PlanningCommissioner Burkhart stated the Commission had not wanted to t ooh
14tt�j nt'
be in the position of adjusting the points and disqualifying another
project. He questioned why the Commission could not pick out and appor-
tion the number of the projects and let Council make the final allocatio .
�t
j Mr. Schindler stated he sensed a bit of frustration on the part of the )r
Planning Commission; it was as though they felt like a rubber stamp as
most categories are objective and only some are subjective. He stated
\f the Planning Commission service was very valuable, and he did not want �a„4
to see them doing something that was not productive. He pointed out
the Planning Commission becomes involved when the actual application
comes through.
Mr. Martinez stated he wanted the Planning Commission's technical revie
� as he felt Council needs their kind of input, and that he would not feel
comfortable closing that door. Dr. Roth suggested Council could refer
it to the Planning Commission during the appeal period if it was found )�}3
ts� � technical advice was needed.
Mrs. Riordan stated she would like to give this idea some thought as to
how it would work. she further stated there is valuable input from the ssn
Planning Commissioners and she would not want to lose that expertise.
Mr. Paul Hsu of ADR Corporation recommended a closed door, private
{ 1 Planning Commission session with no public hearing or pressure. Attorne �h
Riddell pointed out the law would not allow a closed session on that
�S
type of matter, but that it did not necessarily need to be a notice of
YP Y
3�fFt
public hearing; that it could be a regular meeting open to those Who
wished to attend.
There being no further business, Council adjourned to an executive
session. gist'
