A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF REDLANDS
OPPOSING THE GANN PROPOSITION 61 INITIATIVE
WHEREAS, an initiative drafted by Paul Gann shall appear
on the November 4, 1986, ballot; and
WHEREAS, this initiative, the so-called "Fair Pay Amend-
ment , " will have a deleterious effect on the ability of
California governments to efficiently deliver critical
services which the State' s taxpayers pay for and deserve; and
WHEREAS, this inequity in compensation under the "Fair
Pay Amendment" could force qualified public employees into
the private sector; and
WHEREAS , the initiative would punish , through its
provisions for sick leave and vacations , those public
employees who are most conscientious in their use of these
benefits; and
WHEREAS, the Gann initiative could actually result in
higher , not lower , pensions for some already highly-
compensated former public officials;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of
the City of Redlands opposes the Gann "Fair Pay Amendment"
initiative (Proposition 61) and urges its defeat by the
voting public.
