Marvin Townsend Ruth Gill City Attorney J. Bruce Aycock Bob Gulley . City Secretary Bill G. Read Gabe Lozano, Sr. Edward Sample Mayor Jason Luby called the meeting to order in the Council Chambers of City Hall. The Invocation was given by Reverend Robert W. Fink of the Bethany Christian Church. City Secretary Read called the roll and stated there was a quorum of the Council and the necessary Charter Officers present to have a legally constituted meeting. Motion by Sample, seconded by Tipton and passed unanimously, that the Minutes of the Regular Council Meeting of April 28, 1976; and the Special Meeting of April 28, 1976, 7:00 p.m.; and the Special Meeting of April 30, 1976, 7:00 p.m. be approved as submitted to the Council. Mayor Luby announced the issuance of the following Proclamations: Navy Nurse Week - May 9 through 15, 1976; National Volunteer Week - May 16 through 22, 1976; National Insurance Women's Week - May 16 through 22, 1976; and Safety Patrol Week - May 10 through 15, 1976. Mr. David Perry, attorney for the Corpus Christi Fire Fighters Association, informed the Council that the collective bargaining negotiations between the Fire Fighters and the City have reached a deadlock due to the position taken by the City Staff that the firemen give up some of their Civil Service rights in return for their demands for higher pay and other benefits. He asked that the Council withdraw the City's demands on Civil Service from the bargaining table and also that a mediator be called in to assist both parties in the collective bargaining process. Mr. Perry announced that the only alternative to those requests would be arbitration or referral to the district court. He continued that he feels good faith negotiations by both parties would result in a more satisfactory contract to all concerned, rather than a contract written by a third disinterested party who would not have the intimate familiarity with both positions. He acknowledged that some Council Members feel that the Council should not get involved in the matter since it is under negotiations at this time, but insisted that the Council is unavoidably involved; and that by taking no action today SEP 0 21980 MICROFILMED Minutes Regular Council Meeting May 12, 1976 Page 2 they would be concurring with the position of the Staff on the Civil Service issues, and urged the Council to withdraw those issues from the bargaining table. There was some discussion of the matter. City Manager Townsend responded to Council Member de Ases that the Council can be involved in the collective bargaining process or establish guidelines for it at any time and however they see fit. Council Member Gulley emphasized that the Council doesn't know all of the intricacies of the negotiations and should not act on the issue without all of the information from both sides as it takes place at the bargaining table. Council Member Sample stated he was emphatically opposed to the discussion by the Council; that he strongly believes it belongs at the bargaining table and not before them at this time. Mayor Luffy stated he was very pleased to hear the presentation and is very interested in the matter. Council Member Gulley said he agrees with Commissioner Sample, and that he does not feel it is proper for the Council to try to intervene in the middle of the process. Mr. Perry responded that he "did not come to play games; that the negotiations have been brought to an end by the City's position at this time. City Manager Townsend advised that it will be the Staff's intention to propose another meeting date at a later time. Council Member Sample reported on his visit to Houston last week; that he attended a City Council Meeting while there, and was given the key to that city.

Mayor Luby acknowledged that the Council is aware of the conflict and that it has been discussed at some length; but that there are other problems in attempting to schedule it for Friday evening. , Mr. Gordon Humphrey of the National Maritime Union spoke in support of the convention center and offered his assistance.
