The meeting was called to order at 7:30 P.M. by Garnett White, who was
appointed Chairman by the City Manager on July 1, 1983.
Mr. White asked Mr. Brown to bring the members up to date on the function
of the Local PERC and give any information necessary regarding the rules
and regulations and function of the Commission.
Mr. Brown said he had been contacted by an attorney who represents unions
and employees and stated that they would probably have some business for
the board. He said they plan to request a copy of the ordinance and would
possibly filing a petition before this board and filing charges of unfair
labor practice. Mr. Brown said the membership of the local PERC is strictly
neutral and in the case of action there is to be no communication with city
employees or union representatives as to how they will be ruling.
He explained the steps according to the rules and regulations and said there
are some changes that need to be made to the rules in order to bring them
into complete agreement with the State rules. He also said that in the
case of a petition being filed and perhaps leading to a hearing, there would
be considerable expense to the city. Mr. Harriett assured him that the City
would want the board to perform at a productive level and would not anticipate
any problem with adequate funding.
The Chairman asked for nominations for a Vice - Chairman for the board. Mr.
Whelchel nominated Bruce Berger. Mr. Barnett seconded. The vote was unan-
imous in favor.
The Minutes of the previous meeting were approved and accepted for filing.
Mr. White said he had a letter from a Mr. Pilacek requesting a copy of the
ordinance adopting the local PERC and the forms pertaining to the rules
and regulations procedures. He said he would send copies to Mr. Pilacek.
There being no further business, the meeting was adjourned.
