Union of Operating He stated that the Metropolitan Area Management Associa- Engineers , Local No. 49 tion has met and negotiated tentative terms and conditions of employment with Local No. 49. The City Manager reviewed the provisions of the contract pointing out that the proposal would cover the years 1974 and 1975. He described salary provisions as providing a $65 per month increase for light and heavy equipment operators during 1974 and providing a 1975 increase of $75 per month for heavy equipment operators and $70 per month for light equipment operators. He reported that effective June 1, 1974 the contract would provide for City payment of not to exceed $10 per month toward dependent hospitalization and medical coverage and that effective January 1, 1975 the City payment would increase to the maximum of $15 per month for dependent hospital and medical coverage.

The City Manager then outlined certain management orientated provisions in the contract. He stated that the contract now contains an employer's security provision which would not allow strikes or slow downs during the period of the contract. He also referred to the waiver of bargaining provision which would prohibit negotiations on any part of the contract during the life of the agreement. A lengthy discussion ensued relative to the terms of the contract with Councilman Britts commenting as to the need for additional taxes to pay the increased cost. Mayor Cohen stated that there is a need for the Legislature to review the levy limitations since it is unrealistic for a municipality to operate with only a 6% increase each year. The City Manager stated that with the raising cost of operation the City will have to reassess programs and labor in terms of cutbacks. The City Manager also commented on the Minimum Wage Law passed by Congress. He stated that the new law affects Brooklyn Center in terms of services since a higher minimum wage means fewer jobs on a part -time basis.

Poli'hical Signery The City Manager next introduced the topic of political signery. He stated that he has surveyed those Involved in the political process in Brooklyn Center for their impressions on limiting or restricting political signery. He stated that the opinions received varied considerably. A lengthy discussion ensued relative to political signery and the type of controls which could be placed upon them. Councilman Jensen stated that he would not favor pro - hibiting political signs, but would favor limiting the number of signs, Councilman Kuefler commented that he had discussed the topic with leaders in the community and found that political signs were important in terms of exposure for a nonincumbent, participation by workers in campaigns, and notification of upcoming elections. He stated that personally he would like to see the elimination of poli- tical signs but the reasons for allowing them outweigh his personal judgment, Councilman Fignar commented that he would like to see political signs eliminated. Councilman Britts stated that political signs do provide identification for a can- didate. He stated that he would favor limiting the size and number of signs, Mayor Cohen stated that he was in favor of eliminating political signery altogether. He stated that signs are nothing more than a single factor in a campaign and do not significantly affect the overall results. He commented that a candidate must get out and meet the public in order to win an election. The City Manager outlined the present City regulations on political signery. He commented that it would be impractical to attempt to control the number of signs in the community. Mayor Cohen suggested that the time limit could be shortened for posting signs. Councilman Kuefler stated that he could support such a concept perhaps limiting such signs to 14 days prior to an election. Councilman Jensen suggested not drastically reducing the time limit on signs since it takes a certain amount of time to organize workers. Councilman Britts sug- gested controlling the minimum size of signs stating that a minimum size might at least eliminate the small lawn signs. s -10- 4 -8 -74 The City Manager stated that by controlling the minimum size of political signs the City could be accused of imposing economic sanctions on candidates. He com- mented that the most effective control from an administrative point of view would be in the area of reducing the time limit on posting political signs. The subject was by consensus deferred to a subsequent meeting to permit further study. Regulating Snowmobiles The next item discussed was regulations on snowmobiles in Brooklyn Center in Brooklyn Center. The City Council reviewed the com- plaints received over the past few months dealing with snowmobiling. The City Manager stated that Brooklyn Center is the only inner -ring suburb to his knowledge which allows snowmobiling on City streets. Mayor Cohen stated that snowmobiling has become a problem due to inconsiderate snowmobilers in the community. He stated that the City Council must address the problem as soon as possible. It was the consensus of the City Council that a public hearing be held to discuss the snowmobiling situation in Brooklyn Center and review the ordinance.
