One of our first duties as a Board is to arrange for suitable personnel to operate.this important department of the city, and to. request your approval of salaries which we feel are, as near as possible, equitable for the said personnel. We are enclosing a list of our personnel in their.varlous categories of employment, with.their present monthly salaries and the amount of the proposed salaries with the 20% increase. In establishing our budget in the fall of 1956 all of our figures were projected -on the basis of this increase in salaries. We feel that our employees have done a creditable job and if we are to retain these trained employees we must prevail upon you to approve this increase, as private employers and other city departments are paying as much -or more, and we are positive that you,do•not wish the quality of workmanship to degenerate in -our department, We respectfully request that you refer back to our budget and the accompanying letter for our thinkin& as to how this ;can be accomplished. Respectfully submitted, BOARD OF PARK COMMISSIONERS By ALBERT J. TODDIE, President By PHIL LAMPMAN, Secretary." Upon motion by Tingley, second by Schroeder the same was referred to the Committee to study salaries. The following letter from the Public Health & Welfare Board was read together with the salary recommendation as submitted: "The Honorable Mayor and Members of the Common Council Rochester, Minnesota Gentlemen: Enclosed herewith we are forwarding the salary recommendations for the 1957-59 Year of the Board of Public Health & Welfare which met today for this purpose. Your attention is particularly directed to the fact that the total cost of recommended salaries is less than the amount budgeted in the City Health Department, Mental Health and State funds. In the garbage collection service we have based our salary requests on the recommendations of the Fact Finding - Panel appointed to study salaries paid to employees of the S-treet and Alley Department. As in the past, we consider 'our garbage collector -drivers to be, doing comparable work to thos, in the truck driver -laborer classification of the Street and Alley Depart- ment. We believe that these' -men need and are entitled to the increase in salary recommended by the Panel which amounts to $350.00 per man for the year. This increase in salaries.necessitates an increase in the garbage collection fees which are barely sufficient to support the residential . collection and in the case "of the commercial collection, the fee is alread; insufficient by_ about $2, 000 per year. The Board's recommendation for in- creasing'the fees is transmitted in a separate letter. The enclosed material shows a list of positions for which salaries are to be set' and the names of the individuals to be appointed as well as the names of !other incumbents during the past year and the amount of salary paid each! individual during the past year. Also shown at annual rates are the proposed increases, the total salary recommended for each individual to be appointed and the difference between the proposed salary and the amount budgeted last fall. This material and copies of this letter are provided in sufficient number for the use of the Mayor, each member of the Common Council and the City Clerk, The Board urgesyour favorable action on these recommendations'and it will be available and happy'. -to meet with the Mayor and the Common Council to discus's these recommendations. Yours, very truly, s/ JERRY J. REICHERT Vice President, Board of Public Health and Welfare." Upon motion by Schroeder, second by Tingley, the same'was referred to the Committee to study salaries.
