RESOLUTION NO. 870
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF THE
TOWN OF LOS ALTOS HILLS OPPOSING THE PASSAGE OF
SENATE BILL 275
WHEREAS, the City of the Town of Los Altos Hills is vitally concerned
with the proposed comprehensive labor relations measure, Senate Bill 275
which has been introduced in the 1975 Legislative Session under the sponsor-
ship of the Joint Committee on Public Employer/Employee Relations; and
WHEREAS, SB275 grants public employees the right to strike and makes
mandatory compulsory and binding arbitration, thus taking vital decision
making power out of the hands of locally elected officials and passing those
decisions to non-elective persons who are not responsible to the public; and
WHEREAS, proposed Senate Bill 275 constitutes a definite infringement
and pre-emption of local government's authority to responsibly deal with
public employees salaries, fringe benefits and working conditions; and
WHEREAS, it is the responsibility of City Councils to maintain and
responsibly exercise the authority granted them by their respective
constituencies in providing vitally needed public services through their
employees.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE CITY COUNCIL of the City of the
Town of Los Altos Hills that the Council hereby expresses its opposition to,
and urges the defeat of Senate Bill 275 as it relates to comprehensive public
labor relations.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this Resolution be forwarded
