ResolutionNo.2006-067Submittinaa Citizen-initiated Charter Amendment toaVoteofthe Registered Electors of the City at a Special Municipal Election of September 12 2006 On May 19, 2006, the City Clerk's Office received an initiative petition to amend the City Charter relating to collective bargaining. The petition was determined to contain a sufficient number of signatures to place the initiated measure on a special election ballot. Pursuant to C.R.S. 31-2-210(4), if the petition is certified as sufficient by the City Clerk, the election must be held as near as possible to the approximate date stated in the petition(September 12, 2006). On June 6, 2006, Council adopted on First Reading Ordinance No. 103, 2006 calling a special election on September 12,2006. This Resolution submits the measure to the voters at that election and sets the ballot language for the measure. 4. Resolution No. 2006-068 Expressing the City Council's Opposition to a Citizen initiated Charter Amendment Pertaining to Collective Bargaining A special election has been called for September 12, 2006, for the purpose of submitting to the electors of the City a proposed amendment to the City Charter which would establish a system of collective bargaining to replace the system that is contained in the City Code. City staff recommends that Council express its opposition to the proposed Charter amendment and urge the electors not to vote for the amendment,primarily because the system,unlike the one contained in the City Code, would entail binding arbitration, it would allow for renegotiation of the collective bargaining agreement already in place between the Fraternal Order of Police and the City, and it would preclude any reduction in compensation or benefits of police employees unless the members of the bargaining unit consented to such reduction. Staff believes that the system of collective bargaining contained in the City Code offers adequate opportunity for good faith bargaining between the City and its police employees. 4.
