As required by state law, this resolution will be posted in its entirety for 40 days, until October 18, at the Municipal Building, as well as on the City’s Web site at www.greenbeltmd.gov. A copy may also be requested of the City Clerk. The charter amendment will be effective on October 28, 2008, unless a proper petition to submit the amendment to the voters on a referendum is ﬁled as permitted by law. This notice is given to provide a fair summary of the resolution, as also required by state law. A Resolution . . . to Amend the Charter of the City of Greenbelt . . . by Amending Paragraph (d), “Powers,” of Section 12, Titled “Employee Relations Board” to Provide that the Employee Relations Board be Empowered to Hear Grievances Arising out of Collective Bargaining Agreements: Subsequent to a referendum question on the ballot of the 2005 City election, the City Council amended the City Code to include a Labor Code for the purpose of recognizing the right of certain police ofﬁcers to organize and bargain collectively. The Labor Code requires that all collective bargaining agreements (CBAs) must include a grievance procedure containing a provision for binding decision by the City’s Employee Relations Board (ERB). Since the existing powers of the ERB in grievance procedures were limited to making recommendations to the City Council, it was necessary to amend the charter to enable the ERB to address grievances arising out of CBAs as required by the Labor Code.
