They would then reconvene and announce their decision to the public. - 3 - Minutes 11-13-84 The Public Hearing was opened. Coming forward to speak were: Joe Petrucelli, President of the Police Officers Assn. - stated that the Assn. had no serious problems when the City Manager acted as negotiator in the past. He felt the current negotiator was not prepared and that there were no good -faith negotiations. He stressed that the Hermosa Beach firemen were making more than the policemen, the City offer cut benefits, the proposed contract is an insult and advised the City Council to resume negotiations. Jerry Leonard, General Counsel for California Police and Sheriffs - felt quality of Hermosa Beach Police Department is excellent - they have had 9-10 bargaining sessions since June - felt the City Council was sold a bill of goods - stressed lack of communication and inconsistency in bargaining pattern - they are willing to continue to negotiate - felt they have a basis for a legal alternative. Wally Moore, Vice President Hermosa Beach Police Offiers Assn. - showed scale of pay range of South Bay cities - suggested taking average of 12 South Bay cities and giving Hermosa Beach Police the median average - wants to go back to the bargaining table. Mike Lacey, Comedy and Magic Club, 1018 Hermosa Avenue - felt there were no problems at present in the downtown area like those of five years ago - there has been a great change due to the quality of the Police Department. Tim Thompson, 1820 Ardmore - stated it was insulting to be at the bottom of the wage ladder and there was a real potential for deterioration. Mike Franzel, 15 - 15th Street - serious mistake not bargaining with Police Department. Edith Webber, 2207 Pacific Coast Highway - stated the City Council had complete disregard for safety of citizens - money for negotiator was completely unrealistic and unnecessary - City Council had no desire to negotiate - asked City Council not to create a second class police force. Don Arwine, 830 - 9th Street - salary schedule is shameful. Jack Eales, Rector, St. Cross Church, 1818 Monterey - stressed the need for trained men and the necessity to negotiate in good faith. Larry Ramos, California Department of Justice, Agent with Attorney General's office - stressed salary and quality - 4 - Minutes 11-13-84 run parallel - less quality means more acts of police disruptions. Joel Shapiro, 502 - 8th Street - felt LAPD can't do as good a job as HBPD, response time is exceptional, City should negotiate in good faith. Mayor Pro Tem Wood stated that the average salary for a Hermosa Beach Police Officer was $30,000 and benefits were 63% of salary. Terry Tracy, negotiator, Richards, Watson, Dreyfuss & Gershon - reiterated the City's last offer and distributed copies to Council. Proposed were: Special Duty Pay - 10% of monthly salary rather than flat rate; Clarification of Language of Special Duty Pay - three year term; Formula for automatically increasing salaries computed over the next two years - CPI plus 1% with an upper limit of 6%; Health & Welfare - same dollar amount contribution by City; Mental Health Program - effective January 1, 1985; Uniform Allowance - increase; Educational Incentive Increase - increased to $125/mo. with AA, $250/mo. with BA; Salaries - Officers and Sergeants 4.5% increase, Lieutenants 12% increase and Captains 10% increase. This all totals up to an increase of 6% total compensa- tion for the first year (approximately 50% above the CPI). Ms. Tracy stated that a study done by the League of Cali- fornia Cities in April of 1984 of comparably sized cities (Gardena, Culver City, Palos Verdes Estates, Manhattan Beach, Hermosa Beach, Beverly Hills, El Segundo, Seal Beach, Laguna Beach and San Clemente) showed the following average total compensation: Comp. Sized Cities Hermosa Beach Manhattan Beach Beach Cities with Comp. Sized P.D. Hermosa Beach Police Officers $3,48.1 $3,510 $3,096 $3,312 $3,510 Sergeants $3,927 $4,047 $3,636 $4,047 A survey of the Finance Departments conducted by the City prior to the start of negotiations indicated that of the 12 South Bay Cities surveyed, Hermosa Beach ranked 6th in terms of the percentage of the budget allocated for the Police Departments. Ms. Tracy felt that both parties negotiated in good faith and that the City's last offer was a reasonable one. Responding to the claim that the Police Department had received no compensation increase last year, she advised that they received a 5% increase in terms of the PERS pick-up by the City. - 5 - Minutes 11-13-84 Wally Moore, Vice President Police Officers Association, spoke in rebuttal stating that he felt the negotiator had very little understanding of Municipal Government - all cities receive the same benefits - Hermosa Beach Police are the lowest paid salary -wise in the South Bay - Hermosa Beach has the lowest per capita police cost in the South Bay. The Public Hearing was closed. The City Council adjourned to a Closed Executive Session at 8:40 P.M. The City Council reconvened at 9:05 P.M. ACTION - To adopt Resolution No. 84-4772 entitled "A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF HERMOSA BEACH ESTABLISHING WAGES, HOURS AND WORKING CONDITIONS GOVERNING EMPLOYEES REPRESENTED BY THE HERMOSA BEACH POLICE OFFICERS ASSOCIATION" which is the last and final offer of the City of Hermosa Beach (a 6% increase in the 'compensation package which allows for 4.5% increase for police officers and up to 12% for lieutenants and 10% for captains.)
