COUNCIL REPORTS AND UPDATES
Councilmember Nash said she had attended a Wenatchee Convention
Bureau meeting. She said there were no significant changes,
however she said they seemed to becoming more focused;
Council Action: A motion was made by Councilmember Hendricks,
second by Councilmember McArthur to approve following
declaration. The motion carried unanimously, 3-0.
"The Council has been notified that the officers have rejected
the City's contract offer over a disagreement on whether certain
language should be included in the collective bargaining
agreement. While the city will continue to negotiate in good
faith over the disputed issue, the city does not want to place
the officer's at an economic disadvantage because of this
dispute.
Therefore. I move that the city implement, unless the union
objects in writing by January 24. 1995, a 6.5% salary increase
for the police officers, retroactive to January 1, 1995."
