MAYOR'S REPORT:
The Mayor reported that the Police Department motorcycle has been in use for the last four or five days. He noted that the vehicle is very popular among the patrolmen, and he is anxious to hear comments about the situation. He commented once more that this patrol is in response to complaints by residents about speeding in their neighborhoods, and this is one more tool to be used to improve the situation.
The Beautification Committee will meet tomorrow at 7:00 p.m. Two new members are scheduled to attend.
City Hall will be closed on Friday in observance of Good Friday. A community Stations of the Cross will be held at St. Christopher's beginning at noon. Those interested should contact the church. Mr. Linden noted that rubbish will be collected on Friday.
Last Wednesday, the Mayor attended a County Commissioners' Roundtable for the Mayors and Managers Association. He now has a large binder containing the names and phone numbers of personnel in county administration offices. If Council members have difficulty reaching the right party, they should call the Mayor's office.
He also reminded Council officials that financial disclosure forms must be filed with the Ohio Ethics Commission by April 17.
The latest edition of the newsletter has been published. Because of past allegations that the publication is politically motivated, the Mayor reiterated his challenge to find any article that is not informational for residents. He expressed "tremendous gratitude" to Gretchen Burt, his administrative assistant for the amount of work she puts into every issue of the newsletter. He noted that Admiral Products does an excellent job of printing and that Ann McCauley is the fine proofreader. Once more, he commented that this is a public information document which is designed to help residents.
The Civil Service Commission is planning tests for both the police and fire divisions, as an officer is leaving to join the FBI and an examination is also necessary for the fire division.

COMMITTEE REPORTS:
S.A.F.E: Mr. Gollinger reported that he had attended the last meeting at Cleveland Hopkins Airport with representatives of other cities. He was pleased to announce that, as of now, Mr. Mok will continue as airport director.

Vote: Gollinger - aye Moran - aye Frost - aye Hurtuk - aye
Bartolozzi - aye Hagan - aye Bobst - aye
7 ayes 0 nays PASSED
Moved by Mr. Hagan, seconded by Mr. Gollinger, that Ordinance No. 50-06 and No. 51-06 be passed as read:
Discussion: Special Counsel David Matty came forward to explain some provisions in the contracts. He noted that the presentation of these ordinances brings to a culmination four months of work. Contracts for the Service Department and the Fire Division have already been passed, and tonight he is presenting contracts for the police patrolmen and for the sergeants and lieutenants.
Under Ohio Law, the Mayor is the exclusive representative of the City, and appointed Mr. Matty. Together, they were able to settle with all four unions and with voluntary agreements. This is a great success for all sides. The City participated in two fact-finding hearings for fire and service with the Mayor taking the Administrative lead. Mr. Matty then expressed appreciation to other members of the Administration:
Mr. Matty was pleased to inform Council that this would end negotiations with these four divisions for the next three years. In this contract, the patrolmen would receive a raise of 3%; a $.10 per hour shift differential for second and third shifts; a small increase in their uniform allowance which will be $600 at the end of the contract, and a health care cap higher than other City groups because they started at a higher level.
Both Mr. Hagan and Mrs. Bobst thanked the Administrative team for the successful conclusion to negotiations.
Mayor Knoble concluded by also mentioning a language change in the police contract which he feels will alleviate potential grievances in the future. An officer off the job has questioned his entitlement to other payments such as vacation, uniform, etc. In this new contract, language has been clarified. The Mayor feels that these contracts are fair to all parties concerned. Any City representative who does not have a clear understanding of SERB law cannot negotiate with police and fire unions. Personally, he has been negotiating with unions since the 1950's, but nothing in the private sector is comparable to SERB laws. Because safety unions are not permitted to strike, they are given certain advantages which make negotiation difficult.
The Mayor again noted that these are good contracts, retroactive to January 1, and he urged passage. He also answered those who criticized his choice of Mr. Matty as Special Counsel by noting that negotiations began in October, and although Mr. Bemer was elected in November, in a frank discussion, the Mayor and Mr. Bemer agreed that it was in the City's best interests to continue with the same legal counsel.
