<br />Councilman Rehrer was of the opinion that if every year the City enters into a Memorandum of Understanding with the
<br />employees after the Meet and Confer process, then each year all of the fringe benefits should be taken into account
<br />and reconsidered rather than, letting the benefits continue automatically.
<br />Mayor Beltran stated that he has changed his opinion on the need for a professional in the area of Meet and Confer;
<br />and at this point, he feels that the $6,600 for this service should be budgeted.

<br />kept on board year around.
