Mr. Meith continued there are serious concerns about the City's intent to carry out the implementation of this Salary Study on a total com- pensation basis, which is in 180 degree opposition to the Contract which was signed for these Units, and specifically states that the salaries will be adjusted so as to equal the average salary paid to individuals occupying counterpart classifications within the surveyed entity. Mr. Meith said the compensation and salary survey should be carried out with the intent of the contract. If the City Council to implement this on a total compensation basis, as outlined by Staff, we would have no alternative but to continue our negotiations with the City in an adversary position. Mr. Meith advised that the employees' morale has been very severely impacted by this study, there are incon- sistencies in this study, inaccuracies, contradictions, and many other (� problems relating to this Study. LDo Mr. Meith advised that the Appeal procedure relating to this Study is very one-sided, as pointed out to Staff, in that the employees must CO file their Appeals with the City Manager, and, with all due respect to Mr. Elliott, Mr. Elliott has already had a great deal of input into this Study, and we see that as a rather one-sided Appeal procedure. Mr. Meith concluded the Association does not want to continue negotia- tions in an adversary mode, and they are hopeful that this matter can be resolved on an equitable basis, rather than having to resort to possible future legal procedures. Mayor Huntoon thanked Mr. Meith for his presentation and stated the City Council would not be making a determination at this point. Luque Center City Manager Elliott referred to a letter from Pastor Ray Gonzales, The Rock Church, requesting use of the Luque Center on the evenings of January 30 through February 1, 1986, for a three -night rally to reach alcoholics and drug addicts through preaching, testimony, Christian music, etc. Mr. Elliott also referred to a memorandum from Recreation Director, Max Lofy, recommending denial of this request. Councilwoman Cisneros stated that because this is very important work that is being done by Pastor Gonzales, she felt Staff should attempt to work with Pastor Gonzales on this matter, possibly obtain another location. Moved by Councilwoman Cisneros, seconded by Councilwoman Garcia, di- recting Staff to work with Pastor Gonzales in obtaining a location for his rally at outlined. Unanimous vote.
