Alderwoman Kelly
Please correct me if I’m wrong, but | think we either have the chance to indefinitely postpone or table in
order for them to go back, we would need to table. Is that correct?
President Wilshire
I’m going to let Corporation Counsel weigh in here.
Attorney Bolton
If you table it remains within your authority, you have not fully resolved it. But what you will do is you will go
past the 30 day time limit for your consideration, which theoretically could result in an unfair labor practice
complaint being brought that we would lose because you are supposed to dispose of it one way or the
other in 30 days. So typically what would be done in a case like this is someone would move to indefinitely
postpone and if the vote follows what the previous vote, follows the same path, it will be indefinitely
postponed and essentially its back to the Union on one side and the Board of Fire Commissioners on the
other side to negotiate a different proposal.
President Wilshire
Do | have a Motion?
MOTION BY ALDERWOMAN KELLY FOR INDEFINITE POSTPONEMENT OF R-20-041
ON THE QUESTION
President Wilshire
Discussion on that motion? Alderman Klee?
Alderman Klee
Thank you, so the indefinite postponement allows it to go back for them to negotiate it if we tabled it then
that’s not allowed to go back?
President Wilshire
That’s right.
Alderman Klee
Thank you.
Alderman Lopez
| have a question.
President Wilshire
Alderman Lopez?
