GENERAL MEMBERSHIP MEETING

NEW BUSINESS

OVERTIME: J.K. Muller encouraged members of the POA to sign up for posted overtime for regular shifts as well as special events to avoid being mandated at an inconvenient time.  The U.S. Open Surfing Contest, July 30-31, 2005, overtime board passed around. 

SETTLEMENT OFFER: Presentation made by Steve Silver to explain the Settlement Agreement reached between the City and the various employee bargaining units of the City.  Letters had been sent to all affected members with the calculated settlement owed to each employee. 

A brief history reviewing how long the miscalculations have possibly been occurring (since the late 1980’s) and came to light by Mike Perry, HBFA and R. Reinhart in our negotiations several years ago.  The City ultimately reviewed the matter further and agreed to an error in miscalculations.  The ‘Settlement Agreement’ avoids any litigation in the matter. 

Discussion held with some questions and answers being addressed from the group. 

For the POA a motion was made by R. Wright and C. Bales to have the Board of Directors accept the proposed ‘Settlement Agreement’ between the POA and City, motion carried.  J.K. Muller will handle on behalf of the POA. 

ADJOURNMENT:  This meeting was adjourned at 18:15 hours.
