to select a firm for outside counsel.
Tim Marx, City Attorney, explained that it has been the City Attorney's practice in workers'
compensation matters, and particularly when they are specialized, to send them to outside
counsel as the City Attorney's Office does not have in-house expertise in this area. The city
has a long-standing relationship with the law firm of Jardine, Logan & O'Brien which
specializes in workers' compensation cases. Mr. Marx said he intends to review the city's
policy on outside counsel including how outside firms are chosen, how to determine when
they should be used, whether someone should be brought in to build workers' comp
expertise within the Cit�r, etc.

Resolution 94-71 - implementing provisions for retiree insurance for members of the Classified
Confidential Employees Association who retire.
Nancy Stovall, President of the Classified Confidential Employees Association addressed the
concerns of the Association saying they would like to amend the portion of the resolution
pertaining to retiree benefits so they would be the same as what AFSCME retirees receive.

that retiree benefit.s were not subject to arbitration. As a result, an employer has the flexibility
to take a position on retiree health insurance benefits. The administration's recommendation
is that any discussion about a change in benefits occur in future labor negotiations.
