The Council reconvened at 11:05 A.M. to discuss wage scalee for 1952 and tlo possibility of finding funds to finance them. _,� Present - Comore. Holland, Marzitelli, McDermott, Mortinson, Peterson, Rosen, Mr. President Delaney..? Also present - William E. Brennan, representing the Federation of Public Service Employes, Frank J. Thill of the Building and Construction Trades Council, and about 15 or 20 representatives of various unions. Comer. Marzitelli, Chairman of the Wage Scale Committee and Council's Personnel Committee, explained a report of the Wage Scale Committee heretofore filed in this matter. He said that the figures indicate that increases requested by the mechanical trades as of Jan. let will cost $193.760.00 for the 5 departments or lay-off of some employee. He oaplained the report and all exhibits attached thereto and said that the figures shown do ndt include schools or self-sustaining bureaua and are based on 668 employes in the mechanical trades. He also analyzed tho number of mechanical trades titins which are included in the building trades and those outside of the building trades. Comer. Marzitelli also explained the report of the Personnel Committee and Boma of the exhibits attached thereto.,He said that the cost - of -living increase affecting those in the Classified Service would amont to $332,923.50. In reply to questions, Joe. J. Mitchell, City Comptroller, said that the cost -of -living increases have been provided for in the 1952 budget but that the other proposed increases have not been provided for. Comer. Marzitelli then called on Herbert Lyon, Chief Examiner, who explained exhibits 15 to l 20 incluoive, attached to the report, Comer. Marzitelli then explained the remaining exhibits and said that the estimated annual cost of a $5.00 increase in the basic pay in the Classified Service is $185,769.12; not. including schools or self-sustaining bureaus. He then cited figures showing that the granting of all requests, including the raising of salaries in Grades Z5 to 34 inclusive, would cost $733,687.07 of which $332,923.50khae been provided in the budget, leaving an amount of $440,763.57 over and above. Comer. Mortinson pointed out that about $227,000,00 of,that amount could not be expended even if funds could be raised, on account of per capita limitations in the charter. Mayor Delaney asked if anyone wanted to be heard. Comer. Mortinson then moved that the committee be instructed to submit an ordinance pro- viding fob the $5.00 basic increase for Classified employee. - Comer. Marzitelli inquired where the money is coming from. Comer. Mortinson said he believes the Classified employee are as much entitled to ouch an Increase as any other employee, and then moved further that an ordinance be drawn raising the ocaloe an Standard Rates 24 to 34, as proposed. Frank Thill inquired as to what they propose to do about the mechanical trades increase, and Comer. Mortineon pointed out that that ordinance has been before thetbuncil for come - time. (Continued on.neat-oheet) 43054, 3 September 12th, 1951• D� useion on Wage Scales for 1952 and Financing Same (aontinnad) There was considerable discussion. Meyer Delaney said that he believes the Council should study the entire matter further and pointed out that the wage demands exceed the funds available -and per capita limitations. He said that if they are granted, it would result in the laying off of 54 or more employes. and further said'that the departments saffected should report on hots they are going tP operate and provide services, what balances are available, etc. Comer. Martinson suggested that ordinances be prepared to bring the matter to ahead. and that further discussion can then be had.. Mayor Delaney said that he has no objection to anyone introducing ordinances but that he does not want any of those present or others to be misled to believe that such ordinances f will necese"arily be `adopted if submitted. Comer. Martinson then'moved to adjourn. There was, some discussion then, led by victor Lapak9co,as to whether the number of employee in the Public Works Dept. in 1950 and 1951 was over the average number on account of heavy snowfall. storm damage, etc. Mr. Lapakko claimed that the -Public Works Dept. figures were too high and did not represent am average number. Mr. Thill said that his organization knave that 'if the increased scales are established and the fends are not available, it will'^mean ley -offs. Be urged, however, that the ordi- nance establishing the new scale be passed at this time, particularly with reference to the payment of temporary employes. Comer. Holland pointed out that under the new scales, the Building Bureau will lose13 Building Inspeetors whereas they need 5 more* jAnother'representative of the Building Trades Council said that they insist on the establish- ment of the new rate and.the retention of the 173 -hr. formula. Mayor Delaney pointed out that even though the city could possibly raise $17%000.00 additional, to bring expenditures up to the per capita limitation. they would still be far short and would have to cut services and lay off employes. He said that a private employer can go out of busi- ness but that the city cannot: He further said that the city is under -manned now and called attention to the lack of Building Inspeatoreas an example. Mr. Lapekko again insisted that the labor figures submitted by the Public Works Dept. are padded due to unusual conditions but that he does not question the accuracy of the figures submitted. The Mayor said that we must find out the effect of these increases on each department. Romer. McDermott suggested that the ordinance. C. E. No. 156700, raising the Beale for mechanical trades employee, be referred to the Corporation Counsel to BOO if it can be amended so as to put in the now scale for temporary employes at this time. Mayor Delaney said that that will be done. a a The meeting was thereupon adjourned. ADJOURNED' Mlfl.'President ATTESTS �. City Clerk: Mnmms OF TiE COUNCIL 10:00 A.M. September 13th, 1951.

Metzler, owners of the property in question, ob ecting to the taking of the land, and in the event that it is taken, claiming damages of $5000.00. Mr. O'Donnell explained their demands in further detail. Comsr. Marzitelli said that apparently the value of the property has gone up considerably as it sold for $1800.00 before a recent court action. He said that he feele that this location beat suite the need for a branch library even though the City has to pay $3000.00 for the site. Mr. O'Donnell suggested that the library be. located on property at York and Sims which is tan forfeited: He pointed out that there are several schools in that immediate vicinity. L. C. Seamer said that he has recommended an award of $3000.00 for the property although he does not believe that it is worth that much because it appears that.the present owners paid that amount for it. He said that attorneys' feeq,paid in law suits do not -enhance the values of property and pointed out that the property is zoned for residential use. He j stated he believes the $3000.00 award is liberal.' Comer. Marzitelli explained the reasons why, in his opinion, this site is the best one ob- tainable and pointed out that we cannot pick library sites merely because land may be obtained free or at a low cost.

He said that they should investigate what other use could be made of the property in question, such as factories anther uses which would be more objectionable than the housing project. -He also alleged that some of the statements made in the protest meeting were inadequate and pointed out that the status of both remaining projects is questionable until and unless an allocation of funds is made by the Federal Government. He pointed out that neither'he nor the City Council picked this site although the Housing Authority was asked to consider other sites than the East Side . one. Comer. Rosen suggested that the.Council view the site. Mayor Delaney pointed out that there are still eleven families housed in a building at 209-17 Grove St. which has been condemned and that efforts are being made to find other locations for them. To. C. Beamer said that he had investigated the block of St. Anthony, Fisk, Victoria and Central as a ossible housing project site and found that there are four homes in the block in the10,000 class and three in the $15,000 class. He said he estimates the cost' conservatively at $80,000 to acquire this block. The Council took up consideration of the 1952 City Budget and went over it item by item. Comer. Peterson asked that Item 2-B be increased $10,000.00 for Traffic Planning as recommended, by the Traffic Committee. (For all resolutions, see end of discussion). Wm,_Serbine, Corporation Counsel, asked that Item 3-A-1 be increased $1,000.00 for KA�alary it*increases for too of his assistants who' are receiving loss than $5,000.00 and asked hat 3-A-2, Office Exoense, be increased $1,200.00 and Item 3-A-3 be increased $300.00. Comsr. Mortinson suggested that the amount requested, being $2,500.00, be taken from Item 31-G-20, Human Relations. Mayor Delaney objected and said that the appropriation for that item isnot adequate now. He said that this group plays a definite part in preserving harmony betweon the racos, etc. and that it is not entirely supported by private contributions. He said that this group is helping police work, reducing charges of race discrimination, etc. He said a number Of people put in considerable volunteer time serving this purpose. Comor. Mortinson said that this is not a City function and is supported by private donations. Mayor Delaney asked that an item beast up, 6-B-2 Office Expense $1,500.00, in the Pub-, licity Board item in order to pay the full salary of the director. There was some discussion. See resolution. ?' The Public Works budgetwas temporarily passed. s Hilary J. Flynn explained the request of Comer. Frank Marzitelli for increases of $280.00 in his Administration Salaries, and $4,077.00 in the Library budget, and'mronosed that these amounts be taken from the Snow Removal Fund. Comer. Rosen objected -to the cutting of that fund any further. There was discussion as to the advisability of increasing the estimated receipts from the Gross Earnings Tax. See resolution below.of Comsr. Holland explained the need for increasing Item 20-A-1 in the amount of $_5500-00 and 20 -A -3 -in the amount of $2000.00. See resolution. Comsr. Mortinson asked for an increase of $7300.00 in Item 21-C-1 and an increase of $3700.00 in B-2. See resolution. There was discussion as to the advisability of increasing Item 31-C-19, Interceptor Sewer Maintenance, and Sewer Rentals item. The Council considered the request of the St. Paul. Institute for an increase of $6000.00 but no action was taken. Harry O'Connell, City Clerk, said that he needs an additionah anount of $6000.00 in Item' 31-D-1 as it is proposed that'the salaries of Judges of Election will be raised. He said that he needs $1500.00 for each of four elections. Mayor Delaney urged that Item 25-A-8 be increased $10,000.00 for needed repairs to the - City Hall and Court House building. He said that this amount would be matched by an additional $10,000.00 from the County and pointed out the need.of making repairs. See resolutions. Joe Mitchell, City Comptroller, suggested that it might be advisable to grant police power to parking meter repairmen and collectors so that they can issue tago for viola- tions. He said that that should result in an increase in receipts from fines and bail forfeits. There was some discussion of this. Comsr. Rosen urged that the item Fines and Bail Forfeits set up in the Financing � " Schedule be increased by $16,000.00.

Solly Robins, representing certain unions, questioned the legality Of the CouncilI8 re-establishing the 160 -hr. formula. There was considerable discussion during which Comes.

Thera was considerable further discussion of the layoff prospects in the Pablic Works Dept. Comar.

He said maybe the Council made a mistake in ever establishing the mechanical trades service and maybe they should go back to the old system of designating skilled. trades, semi -skilled, and =skilled, and granting increases in those positions as they come up, and put the rest of the titles now in the mechanical trades back into the Graded Service. Mr. Thill said that his group had urged that the Building Trades unions be grouped in the skilled labor as suggested by Comer. Peterson, and that others be required to negotiate their own salary scales. (Continued on other aide) 30131 MINUTES OF THE COUNCIL . 1Os00 A.M.

Comer. Marzitelli further explained his report and said that the bus companies now pay a net rental of $6,900.00 for the main floor and J basement but that they are not lessees of the second 'floor from which the owneis-derive a further income.

Marzitelli, McDermott, Mortinson, Peterson, Rosana Mr. President Delaney -.7 The meeting was for the purpose of considering various. salary ordinances pending before the Council Lettere of various departments were read, as out the effect of the,passage of the various ordinances, separately and collectively on the department. Comer. Marzitelli pointed out that the Council had asked department heads to state whether or not they can.absorb the increases andgive necessary -services to the public. The letter of the Public Safety Depti indicated that if all "ordinances are passed, 38 or 39 men would have to be laid off. The letter of the Public works Dept. indicated that adoption of all ordinances would cost them about $145,000.00 and mean the layoff of about 40 men. Comer. Holland, after his letter was read, stated that the increases would result in the layoff of about 151 men. Letter of Perrie Jones was read, setting out the effect on the Public Library and,otating that it would result in the closing of two branch libraries._ Comer. McDermott supplied figures of costs to hie department which were read. Letters of the City Clerk and the Civil Service Bureau were read,,etating that their departments would absorb the extra coat. ,Letter of the Comptrollerts Office was read, setting out figures Other letters were read on the same subject. Comer. Marzitelli said that if the $5.000 basic increase ordinance is to be approved,.he would recommend that Standard Rate 1 or Grade 1 be not increased. He said that that grade to composed mostly of Library Pages who are not ordinarily supporting families but are helping to pay their expenses in various schools. .He said that such action would make a considerable difference in the Library budget. He pointed out that the Council had raised the Library budget at his request Be that they could employ 3 Stationary Engineers instead of the present 2 but that he proposes to employ only the 2 in the event of the raises. He cold that in this event, the Library can absorb the increased cost and provide necessary service'instead of laying off employes. Comer. Rosen said that the Council gave him the additional amount with the understanding that he would employ an extra engineer. Comer. Mortinson explained the cost of the raises to his department and said that they would result in reducing services and maintenance work but that there would not be any layoffs. He said that they would not be able to pat on their usual extra help for washing street lamps, etc. Frank J. Thill, representing the Building and Construction Trades CouncilY--said that they had recently, by unanimous vote, urged the adoption of the ordinance retaining the_173-1/3 hr. formula, together with'15 days paid vacation, 15 days paid sick leave,'and the custom- ary holidays, and further said that if. the Council does not take action on,the ordinance, their Council will meet again at 2 P.M. on Thursday. He said that. the Council has been considering this matter for a long time and that hie people want the same wage scale that they receive in private industry. A representative of the carpeateral union opposed any proposal to adopt the 160 -hr. for - mala. Comer. Marzitelli said that he made it clear to all that the wage Scale Committee in not a negotiating committee and that there has been no delay on the part of the committee; that there is nothing in the pending ordinances to establish a 160 -hr. formula. He said that he,is proud of what the committee did in presenting 'the facts in this matter so that the Council and. other interested persona would know them. He said that all the facts have now been presented. Comer. Mortinson said that the Council has heard much from the mechanical trades and should now call on representatives of the graded employes. William 2. Brennan, representing the Federation of Public Service Employes, said that they had oriQally asked for a $10.00 basic increase but that after discussing the matter with tthhee Personnel Committee, they were advised to ask for a $5.00 basic inerpase, in view of financial conditions. He said that they hive also asked for the reclassifi- cation of a number of titles. Regarding the holidays, he said that neither the Council (Continued on next sheet) V October 16th, 1951. Discussion on Salary Ordinances (continued) nor the employes designate the legal holidays but that they are designated by state law which provides that no public work, except of necessity, shall be done on those days. Regarding the picnic and opening ball game, he said that private. industry observes such occasions quite generally, and pointed out that only those employes intending to attend the picnic or the game were excused and that offices *are not closed. Mayor Delaney asked -Mr. Brennen if�they had considered the Public Safety report as to the layoff of a number,of-police and firemen. Mi. Brennan said that that was a new report and they have not studied it as yet. Mayor Delaney pointed out that the head of each department had been asked to report as to whether he could.carry,on the activities of his department and provide minimum services in the event that the ordinances are adopted, and said that the Council has not received those statements as yet. Comer. Mortinson said that the department heads had done so and further, that services in nearly all departments are now at a minimum. Oomor. Rosen said that he beliedes the city should set an example in paying and main- taining the prevailing wage scale. Comer. Peterson asked Comer. Rosen if.he is willing also to grant the $5.00 basic increase to employee in the graded service. Comer. Peterson maid that he honestly does not know how his department can lay off 38 employes and,give necessary service to the people. He said that the police and fire have done a fine fob and that he thinks they are entitled to an increase. Mayor Delaney again said that he believes a positive statement should be obtained from department heads. 'Comer. Marzitolli said that his department can operato and provide essential services. Comsr. Selland said that the new scale would result in fewer Building Inspectors whereas they, need more now, but that he will operate if necessary under the new scale and do the best that they can. Mr. Thill said that his organization is not worried about,layoffs. He urged that building. Bermit fees be raised. omsr. Holland said that the new code so provides. ,In' reply to a question by the Mayor, H. J. Flynn .said that the 1952 budget is within about $130,000.00 of its spending limitation and that the maximum levy had been made on real estate. V Mayor Delaney'said that,it is a question of where the city is to obtain funds to pay the increases and said that.if the Public Safety Dept. breaks down. he and the rest of the Council would be responsible. There was same discussion as to the meaning of minimum services. The Mayor pointed out to Mr. Thill and others that there is no money available in the budget for these increases and that the city could not spend more than $130,000.00 more In 1952 even it it could be raised.. He said that a charter amendment in needed and that it is the legal obligation of the Council to provide for necessary services. Ho asked if anyone had any further recommendations. William Looby. a business agent, asked why this matter of wages had been left until the last, and pointed out that the budget is $24.000,000.00. The Mayor pointed out that there is not much of an increase in the 1952 budget except cost -of -living increases r epayments of emergency loans, election eosta,-and other_ essential items. Dick Madman of the plasterers' union said that if the Council wants t' charter amendme4 it would be a good idea to show the people that they are unable to gi4e essential services under present limitations. There was discussion of this matter. Oomsr. Marzitelli then moved to amend C. F. 156700 so as to establish the same rates $n the 1952 column as were established by Ord. No. 9802 recently adopted, except that V Electrical Inspector would remain at $2.68 and also moved the following 'Omh ngest Fire Dept.

Peterson said that he thinks the graded employee are entitled to the $5.00 basis increase but he does not see how it can be granted in his department. He said that if the Council: grants the increase requested in the mechanical trades and labor service and does not grant the request for the $5.00 basic increase. -we will have further cheoe and tiC disorder. Mayor Delaney pointed out that the various ordinances are up for Approval of Form today and if approved, will have to lie over another week before final passage. Se said that the department heads would therefore have another week :in which to make a statement as to whether they can furnish minimum services. He asked that that be doors. Comer. McDermott urged that both ordinances, C. F. 156700 and 157399 be considered together. (Continued on other side) October 16th, 1951." Discussion on Salary Ordinances (continued) Comer. Mortinson concurred in that recommendation. At this time, a 10 -min. recess was taken at the request of Comer. Peterson. The Council reconvened at 4:25 P.M., all members being present. Mayor Delaney again explained that the ordinances are up for Approval of Form today and that it is not possible at this time to say whether or not they will be adopted, regard- less of the action taken on Approval of Form, and farther, that Approval of Form should not be taken as an inference'or promise that they will be adopted.
