At the President’s request, Deputy General Counsel Peggy Sidman explained that the administration and the City’s various unions are currently in collective bargaining, the results of which could potentially end up before the City Council in the event of a bargaining impasse. She urged the council members not to take a public position on any collective bargaining issue (i.e. pay raises, pension plans, etc.) lest they be disqualified from voting on an impasse resolution for having stated a position in advance of hearing testimony from both parties at the end of an unsuccessful collective bargaining process. The Office of General Counsel is ready and willing to meet with council members individually to discuss what is and is not allowed for council members in the realm of collective bargaining.

Council Member Dennis reminded the group that speakers participating in Public Participation must give their name and address verbally for the record before speaking.
