Councilmember Blakey stated he would like the Administration to put together a training program
and hire Saint Paul residents who are moving off welfare for City jobs.
Councilmember Megard stated that a union person had requested a one week layover in order to add
union input to this effort. Councilmember Blakey suggested adding language pertaining to union
representation to the resolution instead of laying it over.
Councilmember Bostrom thought this might affect the civil service process of hiring.
Councilmember Collins stated that the Office of Human Resources can identify entry level jobs that
people coming off welfare can apply for with or without civil service. Mr. Bostrom felt that
preferential treatment may be given to those coming off of welfare and that everyone deserves the
same kind of treatment and this may be what Labor is concerned about. Ms. Megard stated she is
raising the issue because Labor is concerned about displacement. Also, 66% of people in Saint Paul
are employed and under union contracts.

Administration's study. Councilmember Blakey accepted the amendment as friendly.
Councilmember Morton moved an amendment that Jerry Serfling, Union representative, requested.
