VERBATIM DIALOGUE FOLLOWS
TAYLOR: Mr. Mayor. I can't vote for this particular item. I'd
like some clarification as far as what is the City policy or what do
we have for sick days for employees or personal day offs? How many
do they get a year?
FRANK G. TRIPEPI, CITY MANAGER: They accumulate one day a month in
sick leave, Mr. Taylor and vacation is ten days up to I believe it's
five years and then it changes to I believe fifteen. If you want
all this, I'll put this in writing for you.
TAYLOR: So, we have one day a month roughly,12 days, that includes
sick days and personal days off if they need something?
TRIPEPI: They can use vacation days or it they're non-management,
they have compensatory time that they can use.
TAYLOR: So, roughly we have 12 days plus 10 days vacation is 22
days, then you have...
TRIPEPI: The holidays, I think nine.
TAYLOR: Ok. Good point. Holidays is another ...I noticed in the
report, isn't Martin Luther King a holiday now?
TRIPEPI: We don't observe that holiday, sir. City Council never
said that.
TAYLOR: We did have Labor Day. Isn't that a holiday? I don't
think that was in here. I could be mistaken. Labor Day and then
the day after Thanksgiving was a holiday and is it listed in there?
I didn't think it was.
TRIPEPI: That's correct. We gave up the...we no longer close on
the local election day. We used to close on Election day and that
was traded away for the Friday after Thanksgiving, sir.
TAYLOR: But then we do have Labor Day?
TRIPEPI: Yes.
TAYLOR: So, that's what? Nine days?
TRIPEPI: Yes.
TAYLOR: So, we have roughly 24 days which is equivalent to six
weeks on average. Six weeks out of the year. Fifty-two weeks
during the year if we take the Fridays off, that leaves roughly,
take off the holidays, that's 250 at 52 weeks, what does that leave
CC 1-12-93
Page #6
• 0
TAYLOR CONTINUES: us for actual working days? Be 20 a month times
10 is 200. Roughly 250 days a year, 250 work days a year. Take the
10 holidays off or vacations, roughly 250 days a year. By taking
the 52 weeks, taking one day off of that, that's 52 additional
holiday, excuse me, 52 additional days out of the year which breaks
down to almost 3 months of service that we're not going to provide
to the residents of this community. That's almost 2 1/2 to 3 months
of service days that we could be providing to the residents and I
can't justify voting for this on that basis. It's just too much
time to close City Hall.
TRIPEPI: Okay. That's
in response to that is,
we're going to maintain
days off.
fine. Mr. Mayor, the only thing I would say
we're talking about 40 hours a week and
the same 40 hours. We haven't added any
TAYLOR: Okay. In reality, most businesses work from 8 to 5 p.m.
I'm going to say 80% to 90% of them. And that's the time that they
come in and I take it it's only fair that in perspective, work four
days and keep in mind that some of these days, three or four of
them, are on a Monday, which is a holiday. Then, the ordinance as
it's presented, if it falls on Friday then they get Thursday off and
this is no reflection on staff at all, it's just a policy decision
that I can't support closing that many days as far as the service to
the residents of the City. So; even though it's going to be a
10-hour day, realistically, and I have to deal with different
cities, with building permits and other functions, and most of the
time it is between 8 and 5 p.m. They close their businesses and
they're gone. So, I just think it's appropriate to leave it as is.
BRUESCH: I would just like to speak in favor of the item because
not only does it help,us meet the air quality management plan and
also the trip reduction plan that we have to have in place this
year...
TAYLOR: Excuse me. Why do we have to have it place this year?
Didn't it say 50 employees?
BRUESCH: Well, it is as it says that it will be amended. It
already is being amended down to 25.
TAYLOR: It is or will be?
BRUESCH: That's the last I've heard.
TAYLOR: It is or will be?
BRUESCH: Al, have you heard anything different on that?
AL RODRIGUEZ, CITY ENGINEER: I'm familiar with the congestion
management plan and we will be adopting an ordinance the end of
April because Council must adopt a TDM ordinance by the end of
April.
BRUESCH: So, this will help us with that. But besides that it's
also going to be a,cost savings even though it might be small,
$20,000, $25,000, maybe even more. I have heard the comments,from
people in the City, well gee I have to leave my house before 8 a.m.
and I don't get back until after 5 p.m. When can I go to City
Council other than taking a day off from work or half a day off of
work? How can I get my services? I can't do it all over the phone.
So, this is an added incentive to make this change.
VASQUEZ: Mr. Mayor. I have to...you know, I wrestled with this
quite a bit because working for private industry, I work for Pacific
Bell. We were on the 4-10 work week at one time but we had a lot of
problems with companies that were open on Friday so we went back to
five days a week but what you mentioned, Mr. Mayor, about people
that are working and cannot come to City Hall, this provides them
with time to come in to the office to take care of business,
whatever it might be. I do feel a little reluctant but I'm willing
to give it a chance to see what happens. If it doesn't work out we
go back to five days a week. CC 1-12-93
Page #7
• •
TAYLOR: Mr. Mayor. Realistically, this is a luxury in one sense.
When you stop and think that we started out and I'm going to use the
average of six weeks with vacation time, sick time, paid holidays
and such, that's six weeks. When you take this additional 52 weeks
and that's 52 working days to the general public, that's three
months of work days. But you...
BRUESCH: But not a second of less of hours.
TAYLOR: Realistically, though. As I said, it's a luxury. You take
these 52 additional work days and add it on to the 24 that we
already had and I'm referring to again just time off so to speak and
it's great when you can get it but this is a public agency that
provides a public service and Mr. Vasquez is correct in what he was
saying, this is what I was referring to as far as having to deal
with public agencies, most corporations and private structures have
to work the five days and when you take a day off of what they can
use as far as their business day, it does have am impact. And being
in construction it is a very impactable item with us as far as the
private sector goes but anyway you take the additional 52 days and
the 24 days, that adds up to 76 leisure days, so to speak and I just
don't think that's proportionate. We've got 10% unemployment here
in California and this is again it's a real bonus package and if it
was rich times, good times, and such, might be fair but I just can't
go along with this 20-25% reduction in service days to the
community.
BRUESCH: Two things. One is the comment about industries have to
work five days a week. Part of both the AQMP and the Trip Reduction
Plan, both of them have as one of the primary goals, flex timing.
Flex timing states that a large corporation now a days can use their
giving of hours to the employees as part of their approach to
getting to the ends of the AQMP and Trip Management Plan. I think
it's we're changing our looking at travel patterns and work hours
and the second thing is,.of course, is this is a reflection of our
City looking at the hours that families have at home nowadays. It
used to be that it would be easy for a person to come in at 8 a.m.
and do City business, then go to work after that. But the fact of
the matter is, many of our constituents both members of the family
leave before 8 a.m. and because of the commute time, don't get back
until after 5 p.m. And one final thing I want to look at our
staff. I've been here at 7 p.m. and there are people here working
on City business on their own time. We have the type of staff that
is going to be here working until the job is done. I'm proud of it.
And I don't think.this is a give me or a chance for our staff to do
any freeloading and I really resent the implication in any type of
statement that would say that.
TAYLOR: Mr. Mayor. That is your implication of that, however you
interpret it. I have also been over to the library picking up my
children and dropping them off at 5 p.m. and if this City Hall
closes 5 p.m. I can't get a phone call through and as far I've come
over at 5 p.m. and I'm not saying that anybody has to work overtime,
when I say overtime and I'm not disputing that occasionally,
somebody stays, that's fine, that's their choice but that's not a
daily occurrence of all the staff that we have because they're
entitled to go at 5 p.m. And they do go at 5 p.m. So, that's fine.
I've not any bone to pick with that. The other thing as far as the
employees themselves, this isn't the issue, it's a policy statement
of what we're going to do and provide for the community and it's too
excessive. Your point about other agencies and the air quality
management district, for God's sake, it's on the news, it's one of
the intentions were terrific when they started but they are driving
so many companies out of the State of California, creating
unemployment with their unrealistic standards that they've had, the
Governor's down their throat and such because they are too
stringent. Some of their requirements are ridiculous. As I stated,
the intentions was good, 75% of their functions may be good, but the
other 25% is overkill. So, as far as how many businesses and
thousands upon thousands of people are losing their jobs because
people leaving this State, AQMD has gotten out of hand. It's a good
CC 1-12-93
Page #8
• •
TAYLOR CONTINUES: agency with the concept but it's out of
control. So, with all these requirements that they put on different
businesses and such they're so far out of touch of reality of what
the average working person has to do by being a quasi-bureaucratic
agency, they don't realize. This is what happens with so many of
the government agencies. I heard a comment by the LA City Council
that they cannot trust their Chief Executive Officer the figures
that they've been giving them, because they don't know what's true .
anymore. They don't what money is coming in. The LA City Schools,
there's a big discrepancy going on right now of $73 million
shortfall. Senator, I believe it's, is it Roberti?
TRIPEPI: David Roberti.
TAYLOR: David Roberti, he's trying to find out how can you miss, ,
even though it's a paper trail, you're missing $73 million. There
was a comment with the Clinton campaign committee last night on the
news, they're stating it is so big that they don't know what's
happened to the money. The deficit as far as this country is
concerned right now is going up $2 billion every single day. Since
the election the deficit has increased $160 billion. That's just
money going down a drain hole: So, there's a certain amount of
reality of what's service is to a community and the public agency's
understanding what the average citizen has to do.
BRUESCH: I think we could continue talking this will be beating a
dead horse.
CLARK: Mr. Mayor. I just would like to comment that if we're
talking about serving the community I think the extra hours are
going to be more convenient for the average family. If we're
talking about just developers or the businesses then that's a
separate issue but I understand that some of the developers are glad
to get in here at 7 a.m. so they can get their work done and get
going for the day on their projects. So, I think we're actually
helping them, too. As long as there's proper monitoring that the
employees are actually coming in at 7 a.m., starting work and
leaving at 6 p.m., then we're having the equivalent hours. If there
is in fact a problem where people are leaving before 5 p.m. right
now, that's a separate problem. If people aren't fulfilling their
jobs right now then we should look into that. I don't have any
evidence of that but I think that's a separate issue but I don't
think we're giving anybody anything as long as they put in all those
hours.
BRUESCH: You know and one thing we have to remember if the
logistics aren't there, if the savings aren't there, and if the
public doesn't like this, this is not set in granite, it can go back
to what we call normal working days.
TAYLOR: What savings are you referring to?
BRUESCH: It's utility savings.
TAYLOR: What savings are you talking about?
BRUESCH: Utility savings.
TAYLOR: For the City Hall? What is that dollar value? You asked
for a report back on that. What is that dollar value?
BRUESCH: It has been proven in cities our size that...
TAYLOR:' Wait a minute. You asked for a cost survey to be done.
What is it?
BRUESCH: The figures that they are getting are from figures that
are extrapolated from other cities of our size.
TAYLOR: What other cities have done that of our size that are on
this schedule?
CC 1-12-93
Page #9
BRUESCH: I don't have that list at my disposal.
TAYLOR: I know you don't have it because there aren't that many
other cities. E1 Monte has a population of 100,000. There's four
cities listed on this item. Four cities out of the San Gabriel
Valley that have done this. Is four or five? So, you don't have
those figures. And as far as the comment, it states that it's been
reported. We don't have-any cost savings listed for the actual for
the City of Rosemead. It just states, anyway the statement was
$20,000 or $30,000 to $50,000 a year. I don't believe that's a true
figure. The way it's worded in there it's not true. So, anyway...
BRUESCH: I think we're beating a dead horse.
TAYLOR: So, anyway, it appears you have the votes for it and I'd
like this conversation in the Minutes verbatim.
BRUESCH: Do I hear a motion to...?
VASQUEZ: I so move that it be approved.
BRUESCH: Is there a second?
CLARK: Second.

No: Taylor
