A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
AZUSA OPPOSING SENATE BILL 333 PROVIDING FOR THE
COMPULSORY ARBITRATION OF LABOR DISPUTES INVOLVING
SAFETY EMPLOYEES.
WHEREAS, the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act has established a
procedure for the handling of employer-employee relationships which
fully and equitably protect the rights and define the obligations of
all City employees in dealing with their employer, and
WHEREAS, Senate Bill 333 proposes to amend that act by
establishing a separate procedure for the handling of employer-
employee relationships for safety employees of cities which includes
compulsory arbitration of disputes, and
WHEREAS, there is no justification, in fact, for treating
disputes involving firemen or policemen differently from other employees,
and
WHEREAS, compulsory arbitration is not a satisfactory
basis for the resolution of disputes between a public employer and its
employees because it removes fiscal control of city government from
the hands of elected city officers;
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Council of the
City of Azusa that:
1. The City Council of the City of Azusa hereby records
its vigorous opposition to Senate Bill 333 and calls upon the repre-
sentatives in the State Legislature who serve the area of the City of
Azusa to oppose the bill.
2. The City Clerk shall certify to the adoption of this
resolution and transmit certified copies thereof to Senator William
Richardson and to Assemblyman Peter Schabarum and Assemblyman Harvey
Johnson, and to the Sacramento office of the League of California
Cities.
Adopted and approved this 5th day of April , 1971.

adopted by the City Council of the City of Azusa at a regular meeting
thereof held on the 5th day of April , 1971, by the following
