RE. Labor
Management Workshop in Denver April - 25th
Speakers: Donald Heisel, Institute of Government Research, University of
Cincinnati, Cincinnati, Ohio
Attorney,' Milwaukee, Wisconsin
Steven B. Rynecki,
This workshop was the best two day workshop I have ever attended. The
subject matter ,was directly related to; Iowa .City's union -management, problems
and the speakers were extremely knowledgeable:- Below, _I will list some of
the mainpoints; brought out in the meeting and in parentheses I will put down
how I`feel this relates to Iowa City.-
The relationship between management and its employees is similar to
-
that between husband and wife. A union is the mother-in-law: Management
e management
does not need the mother-in-law for anything.'_ (Unions may sery
in some capacity as grievers, but other than that, management does not need
the union. Thus, we should not encourage' their growth and, in fact,. should
attempt to resolve grievances-outside.of the union -procedure: In ,
_particular,
we should not allow a steward to represent an employee in anon -grievance
procedure. Even if we 'solve the problem, the union will get:the credit for
it and not management,_ thereby; strengthening` the union.)
The key elements of management are as follows: 1) Have reasonable harmony
with the union. We don't need acrimony. 2):We must have a clear statement :of
management- rights. (These happen to.be in the Iowa State Code) We must have
the right to assign equipment, develop -safety; regulations, prepare work schedules,
prepare the Budget, hire and fire, assign assignments and work method and control
and supervision.` (We must never have `a mutual agreement clause where both the
union and management must agree before action occurs. Management should act `
and the union should react.) Management must have the right to promote and
demote.
In negotiation, management should have its book of demands and;; should
not simply react to the union's list -of demands. (Next bargaining unit we `should
go i`and ask:for such things -as limit ed d
,number of stewards ;
n'less ;time off
for n andances,.etc. These give us apples to bargain with.) In negotiations
and in grieving,--someone-should be in:charge: (The speaker -made the definite
his should not be a Councilmember,'the Mayor or the City
statement that t --
statemr-because-the union then talks directly to this person since he or she
is the -major decision maker and everyone else on management's side is ignored.)
A bargaining team should probably include Personnel, the Finance Director and
a lawyer. -Operating officials should also be present.
- -
--Uo-not-havo.pollltclans because they.: will hog the -proceedings. We should hire
good preparation before any negotiation or grievance meeting. We should:
learn their demands, if-PO - ssible and counteract them before the meeting.
Initially, management should take a negative position on all demands of
the union since we can change our minds later and have something to bargain
With. ' It is important that we learn in detail why they; want something since
an
many demands are obscure cover-ups for other demands.
the important points stronglyd will defend
-give up on the poiThe union nts that they do not care
about.
Never, under any conditions the speakers could imagine, should more than
one member of a team talk at a time. There should be a_chief =negotiator and
the other members of=management'steam should remain quiet at all times except
for the word "caucus". If other members of management's team-see the speaker
going off on a tangent they can stop him: by a caucus,buY it simply dilutes
the effort for more than one person to speak at a„time. -(Iowa imply _ilutesch
at grievance' sessions could stand vast improvements)
Collective-bargaining is a ritual. (Speaker 'from the American Federation
Of State and Municipal Employees also talked at_the meeting and ,he basically
agrees that negotiation is a ritual-and agrees with much of-what the speakers
said.)
In a contract with the union, management wants three things: 1) A
management clause; 2) A no-strike clause;, and 3) A zipper clause. Anything
other than that we don't want and we'll only give upon concessions by-the union.
Above all, we must not hamstring our decision making since essi union will not
take responsibility when things go wrong. Be tough. ince thee_union toughness.
But be reasonable and be prepared.
We have an adversary relationship with the union, but not with the
individual employee.
Prepare a strike :plan for at least a minimal level of

only time supposedly allowed to the steward 8is-for representing employees in a
grievance procedure. It may be desirable, however, for us to let the steward
investigate grievances.- This`may dispel some: of the =more ridiculous grievances.
This will not occur in Iowa City until the union matures. Discussing the actions
of our union with the representative of American Federation of Stat e'and_Municipal
Employees; they think the business agent for the union in this area is a real
dunce based on some of the things I told them he does.)
Problems can be experienced with supervisors on management's side. if
they dortt know where to, draw the line -with the union, if they don_'_t'know the
contract, if they are anti-union or if they are pro-union. These problems can
be solved by training. We must make the supervisor feel that he is getting a
better deal than his union employees through, such means as-pay perks,-different
benefits,=better working conditions and, more training.-n
Unions usually get a start in

ATTE.:TZON: Neal Berlin, City Manager
RE: A & A Coins, Inc. and Dean G. Oakes, Prairie Du Chien Road
and Old Dubuque Road water main extension costs
Dear Mr. Berlin:
I -am,writing for and on behalf of Dean G.Oakes, o` -Iowa City,
Iowa, as an individual who is the owner o£ a tract of land known
aa; the Grolmus --Tract, which abuts Old Dubuque Road and also for
Dean G. Oakes in his capacity as President of A & A Coins, Inc.
who is the 'owner of a tract -of -land abutting Prairie Du Chien
Roaf','Iowa City, Iowa, to seek your assistance in resolving a
problem as to who should pay water main extension coats on both _
of the roads indicated. -
The problem is this. Mr. & Mrs. Oakes and A & A Coins, Inc. took
title -to:the tract of land known as the Gro Tract in May of
197.'.. In the course of obtaining title to this tract of land
the rezoning ,ras obtained and approval for a -subdivision on that
portion of the tract abutting; Prairie Du Chien Roadwas.given by
the Planning and Zoning Commission and the City Council of Iowa'
City, _Iowa.
In the course of purchasing this tract of land Mr. -Oakes was
aware that sewer assessments had been made against this tract of
land and at the closing the sellers had to pay some $22,000.00
in delinquent real estate taxes andsewerassessments costs and
paving for this particular tract of land. Mr. Oakes was
advised by the Planning Department that'water`was available
ad inasmuch as the water dines had been placed adjacent`to these
n
areas at-'the,same time the sewer lines were extended back in 10,67
and 1.968. -
You can imagine i.lr. Oakes' surprise when he attempted to sell
so,-ae of th•-, lots on 'Prairie Du Chien Road when he .ound that not
only was ,he going to have to pay tap in fees, but a _ortion or the
-cost of the -water main extension, which amounted to 5300.00 for
each one o> the lots -011 PraI rie IDu Chien Road. This, of course,

I have otherobjections as well:
1 The architects seem to think that we will have a much larger
l�bat'ory Punct-on
`than it is even likely tae will need. Por
ex-ample, a note the comments on page 57.< T•:e will never be doing
blood analysis in Iowa City.

There are no laws stating- that patrol concentration

-4. I do=not agree that a "joint service department" should be,
created thatwouldbe fully responsible for -:services of, joint
activities. This adds -another police organization into the
system. °13C -have enough separate police organizations in
Johnson County as it is. "I think that joi_ng:agreements which would
allow the present police administrators to supervise joint
services'coithout creating'a separate organization.should be the
direction to go.
5,' The three -choices given by the architects on page 59 for
unacceptable. There is a fourth,
staffing variations are all
fifE'n and sii;th choice of how tostaffjoint assignments, none
of which were considered by the architects_ I wasunderthe -
assumption that the architects were architects, not police
planners I can see;I was right.-
'- r .
6. Page 61 of the architect's report relates to parking. The
spaces they are allowing for ,enclosed parking are totally inadequate'.
7. On page 62 the architect relates problems concerning release
of information by the University. This isa very -flexible situation_
which I feel will be changed to the point cohere there are no
conflicts between ourneeds and the University's obligations. I
think it is pre -mature to.say_the University cannot cooperate with
other agencies, in releasing data. This problem is being addressed
at present.
8 Page 97 is another example of what seems to be a fixed idea with,
the architect once he has moved into, police operations. He is
advocating the -ase of "new" civilian personnel where1. possible `in
staff ,positions. This is something that cannot be passed off as
casually as the architect seems to do it cinch study and much
pro -and -con debate is advisable in this area and =l can see many
many disadvantages in solving the problem by hiring new.civilian
personnel. The architect in this area seems to continually
ply that cooperation.betw
ii .een the various departments is not
feasible due to -past history and possible:_current political
problems. The departments cooperate very well together, and Z
don't think that the architect is aware of this.

RE: Taint Nibody Blue
Lha ccc Taint you have received about the 2body Blue and the area
around it are, I amz sure, largely justifiable. jde have been aware
of the problanth
,for at the past year. 'I feel -e problem
originated in terns of zoning, i.e. there are too many taverns
in too sTrall an area Frith too fow parking spaces; too close to
residential buildings. The second part of the problem, is due
to lack of real concern on the part of some of the tavern --
vvners in this area.
I have had the varagers of the M- oody Blue and T wplighter in for
:disucssions about the problem. _part of the internal
lmwhy
problem centers around the lack of control of entrance and egress: to
and from these bars. Too many trios get in and too n a`T liquor gets
j out. This particular problem has improved in the past 6 peopmontle
-
! however. Also the bartenders_ keep pouring drinks into people w'io
are long past the ..;ell -oiled stage. We have warned the bar owners
about this and have gotten cooperation at least on temporary
basis. --- - - -
mSS T BI . SOr.[T)_ IO; i :
We have, on many occasions, and for long periods of time,assigned
one Mqo-Tran patrol in that area as almost a constant assignment -
i`hey have been called out from that area to; handle other_assig��tts
s+ich as accidents, fights, _breaking and enterings within the genial
1 vicinity. But the vain assigrent has been in the 3 to 4 blocs,
9 which encompass the bar area. lie have found t'nat -,.-,hen officers are
c
assigped to this area as steadily as this, the noise level, the
littering problem, the fighting problem drops. ibe main hang-up
imanpcwer. At present we have the following
n terms of assig ent is-
sensitive areas to concern ourselves with:
1. The Pbody-=Blue bar area
2. The Iowa Street bar area
3. -The camea
pus area ,(it is the silly season)
on)
The arson prone area
5. The mall shopping center
6. -The general area where the vandalisms nave tar << glace c eas
` end.
in addition we have numerous service c i7.1: , bar flghto C. ni:ly
disturbance, prawler. calls, seruIl offenses, narcotic investigations,
breaking and mterings, stray dogs, barking dogs, etc. to handle
during the course of -a given night. last night, for le, we had
