Glendale City Council Meeting Preview

Glendale Management Assn. contract

The City Council on Tuesday is expected to adopt a new one-year contract with the Glendale Management Assn., which represents about 250 city employees.

The association earlier this month voted to approve the contract, which includes a higher employee contribution for health-care and pension plans, in addition to a two-tiered retirement system with reduced benefits for new hires.

The concessions will result in savings of about $625,000 this fiscal year, according to a city report.

WHAT TO EXPECT

The City Council is expected to adopt the contract after months of closed-session negotiations.

Assistant city manager

The City Council will meet in closed session to continue discussions on a replacement for former Assistant City Manager Bob McFall, who retired on June 30 after 33 years with the city.

WHAT TO EXPECT

An announcement is expected soon.

League conference

The City Council will select a voting delegate and up to two alternates to represent Glendale at the 2010 League of California Cities Conference.

Eligible individuals include the City Council members and city officials.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Council members Laura Friedman and Frank Quintero are already registered to attend the conference and will likely be chosen as two of three designees.
