Date: May 11, 1971
City Hanager's_Recommendation
? The City Attorney is currently reviewing a draft resolution setting.up
procedures for employee group recognition.. In addition to the letter
from the Employees Association, we also have letters requesting recogni-
tion from the Carlsbad Firefighters Ass.ociation,and Carlsbad Police
Association:
The City Attorney, Personnel Director, and I-wi,ll be prepared to make
recommendations at the June 1 meeting regarding:-
1. The request for recognition by the three groups.
2. Whether an -employee-employer resolution should be adopted.
Our recommendation will be made available to all three employee groups
prior tp the City Council meeting of June 1 so that they may be prepared,
to make their comments at that meeting. In the meantime, we will proceed
to negotiate with the three groups regarding salary and fringe benefits
so that this area of interest to our employees is covered, al -though we are
still considering the procedural aspects -of formal recognition.

Council 'Action
6-1-71 Recognition was given the Carlsbad Employee's Association and the
Carlsbad Police Officers Association,including Communl6ators on an
interim basis, as reccommended by the City Manager on June 1, 1971.

AB No. 438;
City Manager's Recommendation
6-1-71 Since the apparent conflict between the three employee groups as
to representation has been resolved, it is recommended that the
Carlsbad City Employees Association for miscellaneous employees,
the Carlsbad Police Officers Association for sworn police personnel,
and the Carlsbad Fire Fighters Association, Inc. for uniform fire
personnel be recognized on an interim basis as the authorized repre-
sentatives of these groups of employees.
'It should be indicated that this specifically recognizes the right
of professional and technical employees for separate recognition
as provided by the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act if they -o desire. It
also should be stipulated that said recognition does not constitute
the abrogation of the right of any City employee to make presentation
regarding his compensation or fringe benefit.
It is our recommendation that, when the current session of legisla-
ture is adjourned and any new legislation enacted regarding employee
representation, a resolution setting up procedures for emp-loyee group
recognition be adopted current withthestate of the .law at that parti-
cular time. This action should be taken prior to budget consideration
for the fiscal year 1972-73, and a determination should be made regard-
ing recognition on other than an interim basis.

Dear Mr. Arnold:
As we are all aware the time for budget sessions is
drawing near. Like all other city departments vie feel
our requests need special attention.
The members of the Carlsbad Firefighters Association
strongly feel that if our needs are to be justly heard
we must have a seperate negotiating session apart from
the other city departments. We feel that a seperate
session will allow us to present our package in full
and completely justify our requests. We want to avoid
rushing through our data and confusing the parties
concerned with facts and figures. It is not our desire
to sit in on a joint session and run the risk of being
out short or cut another department short in their bid
to advance their department.
Vie sincerely hope you will grant our request as
we feel a private session will greatly improve our
chances of bettering our city fire department.
Respectfully,
Dean Harrold, Secretary
Carlsbad Firefighters Association
