EMPLOYE1 UNIT MODIFICATION HEARING (Continued)
{r
of Mid-Management Employees submitted a Petition for Formal Recognition as the employee
organization representing employees in a proposed unit of representation. After .receiving the { i
arguments of the interested employee organizations, the City Manager decided that it was more
appropriate to place all employees which he had determined to be management into the existing +
unit of management employees rather than to create a new and separate unit of representation.
Following this decision, the City Manager received letters of objection from the Redlands City
Employees Association and the Redlands Association of Management Employees. A letter from
the Redlands Association of Mid-Management Employees essentially states that the mid-management u�t
employees do not object to being placed in the management employees' unit of representation,
but they do object to remaining in the general employees unit of representation. At this time,
Mr. Floyd said that Council should give the interested parties an opportunity to be heard and
then has the alternative of directing the parties to pursue other impasse resolution procedures.
such as mediation, or taking its own action to resolve the impasse.
Speaking for the Redlands City Employees Association, Dena Smith questioned if the City Manager
�l
has the authority to make this change. She felt that once the petition was denied by the City
Manager, that should have been the end of it.
t �
John Donnelly, President of the Redlands Association of Management Employees, told Council
their unit was formed with two basic goals: to separate themselves from the representation by iy "FAL
the San Bernardino Public Employees Association because they felt no community of interest with
that group and did not want to be in an adversary position with the City Manager and the
Council. They also wanted to form a group which would be oriented towards the best interest
of the community rather than selfish interests. He stated that for a group that only wished to
further the goals of the Council and City Manager and to remain a non-adversary group, it was
distressing to now have to take this action. He recommended that a city-wide classification
study be initiated as this had not been done since 1972 and job descriptions did not reflect what
is being done in 1984. He requested that Council rescind the action of City Manager and eliminate
the fourteen mid-management positions from their organization. In the spirit of cooperation, '
Mr, Donnelly said they would be willing to compromise and accept the three Fire Division Chiefs I
into their unit.
Mike Huffstutler, representing the mid-management employees, stated they were willing to
negotiate and come to a satisfactory conclusion.
Handy Darkens explained to Council that the Fire Division Chiefs were in a unique position in ( �%.t s�'i+tisk,+
that they are not in the Fire Department's bargaining unit, and that in the past have negotiated jos if ,t+ 4g
with the City Manager following approval of all other M.O.U.s. He reported that the three
Division Chiefs still support their desire to be with the-Redlands Association of Management
Employees,
t
Councilman Larsen moved to resolve the impasse by approving the creation of a unit of fir{ 1'+++ilii
representatives consisting of the fourteen positions listed in the Petition of the Redlands
Association of Mid-Management Employees dated July 12, 1984, as follows_ Assistant Utilities
Engineer, Cemetery Supervisor 1, City Forester, Community Planner, Construction Supervisor II-
Street, Construction Supervisor 1I-Water, Electrical Superintendent, Park Maintenance Supervisor
Purchasing Agent, Senior Account Clerk-Treasurer's Office, Shop Superintendent, Utilities 'f
Office Supervisor, Wastewater Facility Supervisor 11, Water Production Supervisor, and to include
the Fire Department Division Chief classification in the management unit. Motion seconded by
Councilman Johnson. +l ',"+r•;'%
+
Councilman Martinez indicated he could not support the creation of another bargaining unit
d- because of the additional Legal expense this would cause and felt that mid-management and a
nagemenj couple of other employees should be included on the management team, Councilman Larsen's
it motion carried by the following vote:

California Cities and to have the ordinance in place if we do have a terminal in the future.
Mr. Dave Cowlan, Canyon City Transfer, asked to have a chance to review this ordinance
prior to adoption as he is the owner of a ^super truck" that is only six inches wider and
f
three feet longer. This ordinance is scheduled for second reading on January 15, 1985,
and Mr. Cowlan was directed to communicate any concerns to the City Manager prior to that CIN
meeting. Ordinance No. 1859, an ordinance of the City Council of the City of Redlands
amending Chapter 87 relating to interstate trucks, was introduced with unanimous Council
approval and laid over under the rules with second reading scheduled for January 15, 1985, 'r�it
Funds Councilman Martinez moved to authorize an additional appropriation in the amount of $5,670,00
to make repairs to the original Joslyn Senior Center roof and Hearn Roofing Company be '1
Roof Repair authorized to perform the work. Motion seconded by Councilman DeMirjyn and carried
unanimously.
City Manager Holmes reminded Council that the Traffic Commission has reviewed a proposal
from the University of Redlands to close Colton Avenue for traffic safety and to implement
a master plan for the University campus, After review, the Commission recommended the
Traffic P Y P t }1
Study City Council close Colton Avenue when an alternate route has been established. This U G�s]
recommendation raises a number of questions which must be answered before any action can
Northeast; be taken. Therefore, he recommended a review of the circulation element of the General
Redlands' Plan for northeast Redlands would be appropriate and since the City does not have a traffic
engineer on staff that the study be done by a traffic engineering consultant which it.is VII
estimated will cost $20,000 to $25,000.
Councilman DeMirjyn stated he was not in favor of closing Colton Avenue and not for a study
funded by the City. Councilman Martinez did not feel it was feasible at this time to close
Colton Avenue and that he would like a study done, in-house or otherwise. Stating he was i
not supporting the closing of Colton Avenue nor a study, Councilman Johnson moved to
direct staff to pursue installation of two traffic signals and a median strip in the University
area of Colton Avenue, to negotiate with the University of Redlands to pay for the storm I
drain. and to not conduct the study recommended by the City Manager. Councilman Martinez
seconded the motion,
Helen Law expressed concern for the safety of people in the University area and pointed
out other dangerous areas in the City. Speaking from the audience, Ben Dillon stated he
was concerned that both sides of the issue were not present at this meeting since it had
been announced that the matter would be heard in January. Diane Christensen expressed
concern that the median in Colton Avenue may not allow for emergency vehicle access.
Following lengthy discussion, Councilman Johnson withdrew his motion with the approval
of Councilman Martinez.

Councilman Johnson then moved to set for public hearing on January 15, 1986, at 7:00 P.M.,
the recommendation from the Traffic Commission regarding the closure of Colton Avenue
and to include the question of a traffic study for northeast Redlands and to include all of
:olton the alternatives that staff has presented. Councilman Martinez seconded the motion. Yes

Mayor Beswick felt this would give time for staff to come u with information that would be

tearing helpful, and that it would also be helpful to hear from the School District. She felt we �r7 sV��ir�Tt
needed to hear what is anticipated in the way of increased traffic in the Airport area and
what the Planning Department sees as immediate growth in that area; we also need to Look
at what is going on at 7-W Enterprises, Universal Rundle, and the question of the truck �tl ��
route.
t 1�iti�it,
Councilman Larsen felt that Council had the responsibility to not deal solely with onissue,
e
but must address the whole traffic flow in the northeast area and others, such as Tri-City.
He asked that Tri-City be included in this study and that cost estimates be provided.
The motion setting the public hearing carried unanimously,
Councilman DeMirjyn stated that new employee positions must be authorized by the City
Council, but that part-time help can be hired by the City Manager, He warned everyone
art-time involved that we must watch this closely. City Manager Holmes defended the hiring of part-
uployeesj time employees as a cost-saving method and that they were easy to release. Council asked
to be provided a list of all current part-time employees, and directed the City Manager to ��y viii �ty,F
