RESOLUTION NUMBER c2~/"
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
SEAL BEACH, CALIFORNIA, EXPRESSING ITS OPPOSITION
TO PUBLIC EMPLOYER-EMPLOYEE RELATIONS LEGISLATION
WHEREAS,
the City Council of the City of Seal Beach favors the existing
practice of public agency employer-employee relations which allows
for meeting and conferring with recognized employee organizations
in good faith to resolve any conflicts and reach agreements on
matters of wages, hours and working conditions; and
various bills have been introduced among which are SB 32 (Dills),
AB 485 (McCarthy), SB 522 (Berryhill) and AB 1243 (Moretti) which
if enacted, would completely undermine and disrupt the public
emp19yer-employee relations at the local level; and
said bills would, among other things, create a new level of
government by establishing independent boards and commissions
to administer employer-employee relations; give 'public employees
the right to form" join or assist any employee organization to
bargain collectively, and to strike; provide for methods of
settlement of disputes by mediation, factfinding and binding
arbitration; and
WHEREAS, such labor practices are totally inconsistent with the fundamental
principle of home rule and the civil service system as mandated
by the citizens of the City of Seal Beach in the Seal Beach City
Charter, and could seriously jeopardize the health, safety and
general welfare of the taxpaying public who have a right to rely
on municipal services not being interrupted or curtailed;
WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of Seal Beach
hereby expresses adamant opposition to any employer-employee relations legis-
lation that would conflict with the meet and confer process which has proven
to be the most equitable method of insuring the highest quality of public
employment while at the same time protecting the rights of local citizens.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the City Clerk is hereby authorized and instructed
to transmit certified copies of this resolution to Senator Dennis E. Carpenter,
Assemblyman Robert H. Burke, Senator James Whetmore, the League of California
Cities, the Assembly Committee on Employment and Public Employees, the Senate
Committee on Public Employment and Retirement and all of the Cities in Orange
County.
