Absent: Alderman Straim.:a: The call of the special meeting was read and President DeVries ordered the same placed on file, the said meeting having been called for the purpose of cbns.idering-_Wage Adjustment Panel Report, and adopting salary resolutions. • The following report of the adjustment panel appointed to review facts and recommend -.a settlement regarding salary differences between the Rochester Personnel Advisory Committee and the Rochester Patrolmen Wage Committee was read: "Pursuant to Paragraph 179.57 of the Minnesota Statutes, 1967, the undersigned, A.M. (Sandy) Keith, was appointed to the Adjustment Panel for the Rochester Patrolmen Wage Committee, the recognized representative of patrolmen in Rochester, and the undersigned Herbert L. Howe was appointed to the Adjustment Panel by the Rochester Personnel Advisory Committee. On December 27, 1969, Messrs. Keith and Howe met and appointed Robert A. Bezoier as the third member of the Adjustment Panel. The undersigned members of the Adjustment Panel, having met in private as well as in open session with the recognized representa- tives -.of the Rochester Patrolmen Wage Committee and the Rochester Personnel Advisory Committee, hereby make the following report: It is the judgment of the Adjustment Panel that the latest salary and benefits proposal extended to the Rochester Patrolmen Wage Committee by the Rochester Personnel Advisory Committee (summarized in their memo to the Adjustment Panel dated December 17, 1969) is a reasonable compromise. Therefore, it is our recommendation that this proposal be accepted by the parties hereto. It is the further judgment of the Adjustment Panel that commencing in the year 1970, the Rochester Personnel Advisory Committee should consider establishing a separate distinct salary schedule for patrol- men and a separate and distinct salary schedule for the f irefiighter. The panel is of the opinion that in our dynamic and evolving society, the job of the police patrolman is rapidly changing with regard to the education required, the responsibilities to the public, the complexities of law enforcement, and for these reasons, salary should be considered separately. It is our judgment that it is not fair to either the patrolman or to the firefighter to have their compensation package tied together. Dated this 8 day of January, 19.70. sl A.M. (Sandy) Keith, Adjustment Panel Member of the Rochester Patrolmen Wage Committee s/ Herbert L. Howe, Adjustment Panel ' Member of the Rochester Personnel Advisory Commit sl Robert A. Bezoier, Third Member of the Adjustment Panel" Alderman Cherland asked if it is only a recommendation and that at a future date the last two paragraphs will be considered and by adopting this we would be committing ourselves to further study at a future date and not accepting that it must be done.
