that those of you who were in favor of approving the grievance
felt that the officers involved deserved the extra compensation.
I do not intend to spend a great deal of time reviewing the matter
once again, however, I must point out the grievance involved
circumstances which happened from four to nine months prior to
the time it was filed. It was also filed after the negotiating
teams had discussed the matter and agreed to the clarification of
the section involved for the 1977 contract. In other words, after
the problem had been resolved in the 1977 contract the Association
chose to grieve the matter based on the language of the 1976
contract. I believe this is wrong and unfair to the city. I
warranted it should have been filed immediately after the incident
further believe that if the Association felt a grievance was

contract.
I have considered the many arguments, both pro and con, that
