The following letter from Fire & Safety, Inc. of Minnesota was read: "Follaging our letter addressed to you of October 26, 1959, which was turned over to the Civil Service Commission, we again find it necessary to call your attention to a potentially serious trouble spot that is not a matter for the Civil Service Commission. The matter concerns whether employees'of ours diall makefa living in their chosen profession, or whether they shall lose their jobs so that well paid city firemen with far too much time on their hands, being supported by -our employees who are taxpayers, shall have their earnings as extra income. Please understand that we want our city firemen to be well paid, we want them to have plenty of leisure time, and admire those who spend their leisure time profitably. ' The Civil Service Commission rules that the two city firemen operating under the name bf "Rochester Fire Extinguisher Company" are able to do so because it does not interfere with their work on the city fire department. To this we heartily agree. They can operate a full-time business as long as the city pays them a good living salary in addition. Tehy can also perform the same service as our men for far less money because they have their living before they open their doors in the morning. We also repeat that they have access to fire extinguisher business through their work on the city fire department, because the city paid fire inspectors.who order in service on new equipment encourage or order the business man to call the city firemen for such service or equipment. This has the effect of suggesting that troubles from the fire inspector will end if the party does business with the city firemen. If you do not believe this, we urge you to ask business men who receive orders from the city fire inspector whose phone or business they were encouraged to contact. We have not had such a contact since the city firemen entered the business, though we have the most complete and finest facilities for such service available in this part of•the country. We wmphasize that there is no quarrel between us and the city employees or any -group of men other than the two city firemen using the fire department jobs they hold to make it impossible for some of our employees to make a living. By far the easiest thing we as a firm could do would be to withdraw from the business and relieve two to three men of their jobs. Instead we choose to fight for their jobs and maintain the elaborate service equipment we have for our Rochester customers that the city firemen would never invest their own money in. These two men have decided to make a career of taking away our employee's means of making a living. They have entered every business they could, in addition to the fire extinguisher business, that we must use to earn paychecks of our local 0 52 Record of Official Proceedings of the Common Council of the City of Rochester, Minn., April 11, 1960 • 0,6WAL0PUBLISHING CO., NEW ULM, MINN• 9101 employees. To name them, they entered the door closer repair business and have written most of our suppliers of tools and parts about their operation; next'they entered the CO2 (carbon dioxide) business and advertise that they can furnish such service and materials for so much less than we can. This country is built on being able to supply materials and services ,at the best possible prices, but hardly under thos conditions. We heartily welcome competition, for if anyone can.furnish the services, advantages and materials that, we do to the City of Rochester we would be the first to honor them if they could do it for the same r price or less than we do. However, we will not press the point of these two men entering other businessses merely to hurt us; and our only contention is that they must not be allowed to sell and service fire extinguishers, because the city,fire department enforces extinguisher laws. u We warned in our -October letter that if they were allowed to continue in such flagrant disregard to accepted standards,of the fire profession it could only lead to trouble. If you asked us what we would do about it, we would suggest you follow advanced studies of the National Fire Protection Association, in cooperation with city officials in every part of the nation. We would like to compete with these two men on equal terms, • that is where they would have to make their livings on the business alone, without the financial support of the city taxpayers giving them paychecks. They would then be able to make all the extra money, they wanted, be welcome competitors of outs on equal basis. We wonder if you are aware that these men are selling the city schools and other branches of city departments equipment and service. One of them threatened us with a list of harmful things to -our reputation that he could -do if we did not "get off their back" following our last letter to you. When our complaint was turned over to the Civil Service and very insultingly turned down by them, -this man sent us the article through the mail that appeared in the paper. Since then they have spent their time telling people that we have nothing but junk for equipment, that we gouge every- body we can by charging far -too much, that we employ kids to do our work, and even worse slander. We believe the best way to change their attitude is to invite them to spend their full time in this business. Our men cannot earn as much in their best month of hard work without any days off -as -those men receive from the city without doing business at all. Their city check is merely a subsidy for them, but there is not much chance -they will do without their vacations, sick leave days, pensions and insurance that our men cannot enjoy. The Council will have to face this problem sooner or later. We hope it will be before we have to seriously consider dropping men from our payroll. Respectfully yours, FIRE & SAFETY, INC. OF MINN. s/G.M. Thompson, Gen. Mgr." Mr. Don Clarey and 3 other gentlemen were present and each heard in support of this letter. Mr. R. V. Ehrick then reported -that this issue had been considered by the Firemen's Civil Service Commission and they had decided not to restrict firemen from this type of work. He stated he felt that on this outside employment there were two basic issues: (1) It applies not only to firemen and should any municipal employee have the right to have the second job because it could be in compet- ition with someone else;,is a municipal employee any different than any other employee? (2) What would be classified as incompatible with city employment? Under the Firemen Civil Service law, I • believe it is the function of the Firemen's Civil Service Commission to regulate this and I do not believe that the Council has any right to decide on this. After lengthy discussion, a motion was made by Morris, second by Brooks, that this matter and other city employees holding two jobs be re- ferred to the Council as a Committee of the whole, the Mayor, the Personnel Director, the City Attorney and other department heads. Upon roll call and Brooks and Morris voting "aye" and Stadler, Wilkus and Tingley voting "no", President Tingley declared the motion lost. A motion was then made by Wilkus, second by Stadler that this be referred to the Finance Ways and Means Committee. Upon roll call Brooks, Stadler, Wilkus and Tingley voting "aye" and Morris voting "no", President Tingley declared the motion carried.
