Resolution No. 127-99

A Resolution Opposing the Charter Amendment Proposal on Collective Bargaining

Whereas, a special election will be held February 1, 2000 to determine whether the City’s Charter should be amended to allow police and fire employees to organize and bargain collectively with the City; and

Whereas, the City Council has carefully reviewed this charter amendment and concludes it is not in the best interest of the City, its citizens or employees.

Now, therefore, be it resolved by the Council of the City of Grand Junction that:

We strongly oppose this collective bargaining proposal and urge citizens to vote NO on Charter Amendment No. 1 on February 1^st.

Adopted this 3^rd day of November, 1999.
