Correspondence dated January 24, 1989 from Chief Johnson was
reviewed in regard to Chapter 4, Section 4.06 of the Municipal
Code, Compensation and Working laws. Chief Johnson states that
this section has been in force since Muskego became a city. At
that time labor contracts were non-existent and the work day and
hours of work for police officers were established by resolution
of the Council. Since then the Police Department has evolved
into an organization with a set of rules and regulations and a
union contract with the officers, which covers the work day and
hours of work making parts of the Code obsolete. Chief Johnson
is recommending that Section 4.06(2) and (3) be eliminated. Ald.
Patterson moved to have the Poice Chief review proposed amendment
with Attorney Molter and the Committee will further review at the
April meeting. Seconded by Ald. Repischak, motion carried.
The meeting adjourned at 10:05 P.M.
