MR. HANSON MOVED, AND MRS. TURNER SECONDED, TO APPROVE THE MINUTES OF THE MEETING OF AUGUST 21, 1975 AS CORRECTED. Ayes: Nays: The motion carried. Hosanna, Hanson, Turner None * * * * Rev. Hosanna and the other board members expressed their regret over the resignation of Recording Secretary Brenda Jarrett. Rev. Hosanna told Mrs. Jarrett that her service had been much appreciated by the Board. * * * * John Criswell, Attorney for Mary Howard, apologized that a hearing date had not been set for his client. The reason for this, he said, was that he had not been advised of the date of the board meeting at which the hearing date was to be set. Rev. Hosanna said that all employees are aware that regular board meetings are held on the third Thursday of each month un l ess otherwise posted, and the date is normally posted throughout City Hall.

Karl Nollenberger and Richard Lorig were presentors for the City. Fire Department Representatives were Austin Magers, Ralph Sillivan, and Adrian Moll. Mr. Nollenberger, after giving a brief history of over- time, stated that the City was in agreement on all items except overtime pay. He compared the cost to the City on overtime paid on a 40-hour basis as opposed to a 56-hour basis. Austin Magers said that the primary contention of the Firefighters was that they feel that they should be paid equal overtime as the police because their duty is equally hazardous, even during overtime hours. After hearing both from the City and the Firefighters, the Board went into executive session. Rev.Hosanna then read the Board's unanimous decision. They had accepted the proposal of the City. The following will become effective January 1, 1976: Overtime for shift work in addition to those regularly scheduled will be com- puted on a 56 hour duty week wage basis. When personnel work overtime on an emer- gency call back basis, the overtime will continue to be computed using a 40 hour duty week wage basis. If a firefighter on a full shift overtime basis works on an emergency along with other firefighters on a call back basis, he will be com~ pensated on the 40 hour basis during the period of that emergency. * * * * The upcoming Detective examination was discussed. Robert Mammen has agreed to write it. 150 questions will be presented to the City, from which 100 will be chosen.
