22 ARGUMENT FOR MEASURE E (VOTER APPROVAL REOUIRED OF ARBITRATOR'S
23 AWARD
24 It was moved by Larry Tencer, seconded by Lynn Woolsey to place the following
25 Measure E on the Ballot:
26 BALLOT ARGUMENT FOR MEASURE E
27 This charter amendment ,provides a needed check against arbitration decisions which
28 are not in your best interests. Under this proposal; if an outside third party arbitrator
29 issues an award which is excessive, that award cannot be implemented until you
30 approve it by a two-thirds vote.
31 This amendment guarantees that the City will not be stuck with an arbitration award
32 that requires deep cuts in other City services in order to pay for police and fire
33 increases. Without this _protection, if an outside third party arbitrator makes a decision
34 which the City cannot afford, the City is left with no choice but to make other cuts in
35 the budget. Under this charter amendment, you the citizen, have the final say.
36 To retain local control of the City Budget, vote YES on-this charter amendment.
37 AYES: Balshaw, Sobel, Davis, Woolsey, Tencer, Vice Mayor Cavanagh, Mayor
38 Hilligoss
39 NOES: None
40 ABSENT: None
41 ARGUMENT AGAINST MEASURE F (POLICE & FIRE BINDING ARBITRATION)
42 It was moved by Lynn Woolsey, seconded by Michael Davis to place the following
43 argument against Measure F (Police & Fire Binding Arbitration) on the Ballot.
Page 34, Vol. 26 August 20, 1990
1 BALLOT ARGUMENT AGAINST: MEASURE F
2 .
3 The charter amendment. sponsored, by the.police, officers and .firefighters is a bad deal
4 for the citizens of Petaluma. It is not simply a pay issue, it 'is a money issue. For
5 example,.,if.an outside third party arbitrator decided that there should be two, police
6 officers in each car where, one is appropriate, even, with no pay increase, our costs
7 would greatly increase. Without additional funds, we would be forced to cut back
8 other city services such ,as park and recreation programs, street improvements, and
9 other vitally.needed services.
10
11 The amendment pretends that. police and fire .personnel are giving up the right to .
12 strike in exchange for arbitration as a means of resolving disputes .over wages and
13 other issues. In fact, a state law already prohibits.fire personnel from striking, and the
14 courts have prohibited the police from striking as well.. The reality is that the police
15 and firefighters are not giving up anything,in exchange for arbitration.
16
17 We, the City Council, and you, the residents, need to control the city budget to ensure
1.8 that needed services will be funded. This charter amendment places control in the
19 hands of an outside third arty arbitrator who is not responsible to you; .the Petaluma
20 citizen. The arbitrator simply makes a decision and leaves town -- leaving behind
21 whatever mess he or she has created.
22 To retain local control of the City ,Budget, vote NO on binding arbitration.

PCITY COUNCIL COMMENTS
14 Balshaw - wanted to know who sent anunsigned questionnaire to, the Council. He
15 questions the validity of this type of mailing when there is no signature and no return
16 address on the envelope.
17 Balshaw - landscaping at warehouse located at Lakeville and "D" Streets (across from
18 the railroad station), the landscaping is dying for lack of water. Balshaw would like to
19 make this a test case ie., when there are landscape conditions of approval and
20 property owners refuse to maintain the landscape. If the city does not require
21 landscape to be maintained there is no point in requiring this as a condition of
22 approval. He also noted the weeds at the Auto Paint shop located on the other side of
23 "D" Street are higher thanthe hedges.
24 Warren Salmons reported that he personally talked to the owner of the warehouse.
25 Balshaw - would like to agendize the table of In-Li'eu fees
26 Sobel - Will devote his energy and time to the people of Petaluma who have real
27 concerns with regard to the factory outlets.
28 Sobel - stated he received a letter from Barry Lawrence, Airport Commissioner
29 regarding. Proposition 134 (Alcohol Tax). The basic argument is that Proposition 134
30 is bad for local government and other people. Can staff take a look at Proposition 134
31 with an eye towards bringing this to us as a discussion item.
32 Davis - commented on therequest for an economic study on the downtown area. No
33 matter if there is a factory outlet or retail outlet people will adjust their market to
34 compete.
