Chairman Harry Fleenor opened the meeting. A roll call was taken and a quorum
established.
Chairman Fleenor announced the purpose of the hearing was to present evidence and
testimony related to the negotiations impasse between the Englewood Employees
Association and the City of Englewood. All parties were present.
Mr. Martin Semple, City Labor Attorney & Chief Negotiator, submitted a motion to
disqualify Chairman Fleenor and Commissioner Belt from participating in the fact
finding hearings. Chairman Fleenor and Commissioner Belt were involved in
ex-parte communications with members of the Englewood Police Benefit Association
which could be perceived as partiality thus violating the Municipal Code Section
3-lN-lOc. Mr. Juenemann, EEA President, addressed the Board and expressed the
association's desire to have the full Board hear the evidence. The Board
recessed into executive session to discuss the matter at 7:12 p.m. and reconvened
at 7:23 p.m.
Chairman Fleenor stepped down and disqualified himself from the board
proceedings. Mr. Damas, Board Attorney, took the chair for the remainder of the
hearing. Commissioner Belt was absent but had notified the Board of his vacation
from July 31, 1989 to mid August, 1989, which did not include him in these
proceedings.
Mr. Semple, presented the City's case, offering three (3) exhibits and testimony
from three (3) witnesses. Mr. Juenemann, gave opening statements and presented
twenty five (25) exhibits on behalf of the Englewood Employees Association.
Rebuttal and closing statements were made by both sides.
Commissioner Kerzic moved to close the hearing at 9:20 p.m. Commissioner
Davidson seconded. The motion carried. The hearing was adjourned.
Acting Chairman, Stan Damas
