The Clerk called the roll. Roll Cal I Present: Mayor Mongan, Aid. Bergquist, Enright, Walsh, Casey, Larochelle, Verville, Head and Psaledas.
Absent: Aid. Hunt, Kelley, Wilcox, Noel, Martineau and Acorace.
Mayor Mongan announced the purpose of the meeting was to conduct a special road heari] Purpose V. on a petition as follows:
"....laying out and discontinuing a highway, beginning at a point on the Petition
northerly line of Loring Street, said point being six hundred (600) feet Loring Street west of the intersection of the westerly line of South Willow Street and
the northerly line of Loring Street and measured along the northerly line
of Loring Street? thence continuing in the same straight line in a westerly
direction, a distance of two hundred ninety-eight and thirty-two one hundredths I (298.32) feet to the Boston and Maine Railroad Right of Way. The above described line to be the northerly line of the highway, the highway
to be fifty (50) feet wide and to be known as Loring Street in said City.
They, therefore, request you to layout and discontinue the highway on the
route above described, subject to twenty-five (25) feet easement for sanitary
sewerage II Communications as follows were read into the record by the Clerk: • Department of Highways
"At the request of Hr. Raymond Gallant of Donovan Realty Trust, I have examined a plan of land surveyed and prepared by Hills & Hesslein, Engineers and Surveyors, relating to laying out of a new street, Donovan Street, proposed, between Upton Street and Loring Street as well as the discontinuance of that part of an unim proved and untravelled street, Loring Street westerly from Donovan Street proposed. I have also had Mr. Reen, Chief Engineer for the City, examine this plan. I It is our considered opinion that the proposals outlined are not objectionable provided, th0^e1r(ei£, they meet with the full approval of all concerned including the Planning Board as well as other agencies of the City. A further condition will involve the construction necessary under regulations of subdivision control."
Manchester Pi?i3Wiing Board
"....This office has received a subdivision application for land owned by Mr. I Raymond Gallant of Donovaft Realty Trust. His proposed subdivision which we have approved includes the connection of Loring and Upton Streets with a proposed new street. This office has received a performance bond dealing with the improvement of this street. The proposed discontinuance is for the unaccepted action of Loring Street beyond the proposed new street.
This office is not opposed to the discontinuance of the Loring Street extension provided that necessary access is retained to the Tannery Brook drain where it HH
crosses that section of Loring Street and, further, that suitable arrangements can be made with Mr. Paltin for future development of his land to the south.
My understanding of this matter from discussion with Building Department officials is that Mr. Gallant can build his proposed building at this location even without discontinuance of Loring Street. Discontinuance at this time may not therefore be of a critical need, and there may be time for Mr. Gallant to discuss future de velopment problems " Manchester Water Works I The Manchester Water Department has no objection to the discontinuance of the western end of Loring St. for a distance of 356 ft."
Manchester Fire Department
"Prom a fire safety standpoint, the Manchester Fire Department can see no reason to oppose the closing of approximately 360 feet of Loring Street west of the pro posed new Donovan Street which will eliminate two (2) dead end streets; namely I Loring and Upton Streets."
Mayor Mongan then advised that those wishing to speak on this petition would be heard,
first, those in favor, and then those against and requested the speakers to announce
their names and addresses clearly for the record.
• Raymond Mr. Raymond Gallant of Donovan Realty Trust was recognized and spoke in favor of the Gallant closing, stating that they had to go along with the closing in order to put up the
building they desire and if the closing were not approved, the Company would have to
take 200 running feet by 50 feet wide to tie in Upton Street with Loring Street. What
we originally wanted to do was to put a turn-around for Loring Street but they would not
go along with this. The only way we can get a building permit is by tieing in the two streets, therefore, I have to have the extra 25 feet of land to put the required build I ing on.
Comm. fr, Mr. Gallant then presented the following communication from Maurice Lampron, an abutter Maurice Lampron and owner of Maurice's Auto Body, who was unable to be present at the hearing:
"£ have no objection to the City of Manchester closing Loring Street, westerly
of proposed Donovan Street."
There being no other individuals to speak in favor of the petition. Mayor Mongan then ^P
asked if there were any present to speak in opposition and recognized Kenneth P. Graf,
Attorney for Mr. Faltin stating that it was not their desire to prohibit the develop-
raent of the property in question but feel that their property can be developed without
doing away with Loring Street. Mr. Graf then outlined the area using a map showing ap proximately 30 acres of land owned by Paltin and that at the present time Paltin is in I the process of filling in the area and developing it, hmving in mind that across the
southwesterly part of the lot there is an existing sewer and also running across a
portion is the opening for Cemetery Brook. If you abandon and do away with the wester ly end of Loring Street then there is no way for the Paltin develo{xnent by a road along I the railroad right-of-way and over the brook and the sewer, no way to get from Precourt
Park Road around and across the Faltin property, up Loring Street and back to South
Willow Street. Prom our point of view, where we went into this development back in 1963, when actually Paltin owned the whole of that property even where Sylvania is now locatedjj^ 217
• and Mr. Faltin sold off parcels of his property so that industry could ccme in and ar
rangements were tentatively made for this turn around down the road to Precourt Park
and giving access back to South Willow Street. Now to do away with the westerly part
of Loring Street makes ineffective and adversely affects the Faltin property which is
now in the process of being set up for development. By doing away with Loring Street I you will preclude Faltin from developing his property because then the road would have to be put at the very easterly part of the Faltin property away from the westerly line
where a railroad siding is planned. I talked with Mr. Grogam of the Planning Board
a short time ago and he has some tentative plans indicating it was his thought that in I addition to a road being along the westerly side there could also conceivably be a roa|} along the easterly edge because there is enough space so that you could have buildings
abutting both of these roads as well as have a rail siding. Mr. Graf then advised thajf
he had maps available if anyone cared to look at them and thanked the Board for the
^IP opportunity to be heard.
There being no one further to be heard, on motion of Aid. Walsh, duly seconded by Aid
Bergquist, it was voted to adjourn for viewing purposes.

Roll Call BMA I Present: Mayor Mongan, Aid. Hunt, Bergquist, Enright, Kelley, Walsh, Casey, Larochell^ Verville, Wilcox, Head, Noel, Martineau, Acorace; Vacancy Ward 14. The Clerk of the Board of School Committee called the roll. Roll Call BSC Present: Committeemen Branch, Brown, Martel, Drouin, Puchacz, Pappas, Lamontagne, Burl », Pollock, Angeli, LaPlante, Chenard and Wallace. Absent CammitteewcMiian Monaghan, it be;pig noted that Miss Monaghan was absent because of the death of her mother. At the request of Aid. Walsh, a moment of silence was observed out of respect to the memory of Mrs. Delia Monaghan, mother of Committeewoman Monaghan. Mayor Mongan advised that the meeting was called because of the telegram sent by the Clerk of the Board of School Committee as follows: At a special meeting held this dat the Board of School Committee by vote taken requests that,the Board of Mayor and AldenUtn I or their representatives meet with representatives of the Manchester Education Associal|||Lo|i and the Chairman of the Negotiations Committee of the Board of School Committee, the Superintendent of Schools and the negotiations attorney of the Board of School Committc s Telegram prior to September 2. Signed by Louis R. DesRuisseaux, Clerk, Board of School Committw Read I Mayor Mongan then advised that he had called this meeting, both Boards meeting jointly^ since at this time the Board of Mayor and Aldermen has not acted on negotiating with the MEAand the Board would like clarification as whether or not there is a formal BJref- quest from the Board of School Committee to the Board of Mayor and Aldermen that they |^ a joint committee and meet jointly for negotiating purposes with the MEA and asked 330 was the intent of this telegram. Following a discussion and with a further request for clarification by Mayor Mongan, Vice Chairman Pappas advised that the purpose of the special meeting on Saturday night was to request such a meeting. Mayor Mongan stated that he understood a motion was taken at your meeting and a 4 to 4 vote on another motion and that what the Aldermen wanted to know was if it is the intention of the Board of School Committee that they do have the Aldermen involved in the negotiations. Mr. I Pappas then stated that he had seen in the newspapers that the Board of Mayor and Aldeimen had not received a formal ccOTmunication for such a request and that he had called the meeting since he felt action should be taken for the simple purpose of attempting to eliminate the possibility of not having school on Wednesday and this was his purpose I in calling the special meeting of the Board of School Committee on Saturday night and sending the formal ccmununication, which has been done. Mayor Mongan then stated that we were going right around in circles. Ccnranitteeman Pollock then stated that there seemed to be some difficulty arising here ^P and requested that the minutes of Saturday night's meeting of the Board of School Committee be read here and that he felt this would clarify the situation, and further that he would particularly like his remarks relative to negotiations read into the record. In reply to a question from Mayor Mongan, Conmitteeman Pollock stated that he felt it was quite important to read the minutes into the record. Coromitteewoman Brown stated that she would be able to briefly clarify the record of I Saturday night. Mayor Mongan advising that the motion for reading of the minutes was in order and on motion of Committeeman Chenard, duly seconded by Ccmmitteeman Wallace, it was voted to recess for ten minutes to enable the Clerk of the School Board to ob Recess tain the records at the Administration Offices. Again to The meeting was again called to order at 8:10 P.M. order Louis R. OesRuisseaux then read into the record the transcript of the minutes of the BSC Minutes Board of School Committee meeting held Saturday, August 30, 1969. Minutes On motion of Aid. Bergquist, duly seconded by Aid. Hunt, it was voted to dispense with BMA Dispensedthe reading of the minutes of the last meeting of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. Mayor Mongan then again asked for the record if it was the interpretation of the Board of School Committee that this was the request, that the Board of Mayor and Aldermen meet I with the MBA, td WMieh Mr. Pappas replied in the affirmative. Mayor Mongan then advised that the question was before the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, with the determination to be made as to whether the Board of Mayor and Aldermen will becOTie involved in the ne gotiations. I Aid. Martineau stated that we could meet with the School Board here but questioned the ability of the Board to meet with the MEA at this late hour and further stated that he had a suggestion to make as a member of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen that the teachers tomorrow show their willingness to not call a strike then we would be in a position to n sit down and negotiate with them, but that he would never do it under the threat of a strike and that he did not believe the teachers would vote to go on strike, that he fe4|f personally our teachers were civic minded citizens, that he had spoken to many of them and it was his feeling that the MEA was not representative of the teachers as a whole, that the teachers, for the most part, were dedicated people, that we are looking at the gloomy side of the picture where there is an optimistic side, that we have made great strides I the past and can do it in the future and that he, speaking for himself, would not negotUlkte under a strike threat but as a member of the Board would consider negotiations if they go back to school on Wednesday. I In response to a question by Aid. Bergquist relative to signed contracts from the MEA and from the school teachers to the School Board and are they legally binding. Attorney Peters advised that after four months of negotiations was to reach a final agreement as far as the School Board and the MEA was concerned, this was gone over page by page, ever more than that sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph and finally there was complqj^e agreement that we had arrived at a full and complete contract. As a matter of fact, I believe, that Mr. Roche has the original contract in his possession signed by their negotiating committee, every one of them including Mr. Pettigrew and also by the School Board's negotiating committee. Then it was the job of each Board to go back and get a vote. The MEA had a meeting and had vote where the contract was approved. It was then signed by the then-preisdent of the MEA Ray Downtown, delivered signed by Mr. Downton I to the Administration Building of the School Board. Then Mr. Pappas, the vice-chairman of the School Board later called a meeting to have the School Board approve the same. B the time that meeting was held, Mr. Downton or scxneone else from the MEA picked up the two contracts signed by the MEA and took them away. The School Board, nevertheless, did vote on the master contract, pass on it and approved it. The final foinn was then prepar^, signed by Mr. Pappas, delivered to the MEA through their attorney, Mr. Middlton and he had the original and a copy of the master contract signed by Mr. Pappas. The MEA then said they would not sign the contract or any other contract or return the one they had unless the Aldermen gave them the money included in the contract. While this was going on, the Superintendent mailed contracts to every one of the teachers, those are all sign^ all returned and Mr. Kelly has those contracts all executed. So it is our position that I we have to go to court, that we do have a contract with the MEA no matter what they say and also with the individual teachers but that is not really an issue here tonight. Mayor Mongan thanked Attorney Peters for the background information and advised again th^t the question was still before the Board of Mayor and Aldermen as to whether or not they I wish to meet in joint negotiations with the MEA. Aid. Bergquist then advised that it was his understanding that the National Association had not accepted the contract and that they are prepared to send representatives to the City to manage the strike with Attorney Peters advising that the National Association did not have to sign the contract and that he had been informed that the National has already sent people here to actually run the strike that the teachers are threatening. o^ someone they considered a professional.fr«n their organization in Washington to run • the strike. Aid* Hunt stated that he considered, after hearing this, that the teachers have a con tract and that the MEA has signed a contract whether they liked it or not and he would expect the teachers to be at work Wednesday morning, that, on the other handjt if they I are looking for a committee to negotiate with, I suggested at the last Finance Committee meeting that a ccamnittee could be appointed and suggested at that time Mr. Jenkins from our Personnel Department, Mr. Tetu and the City Solicitor to represent the Board of Aldermen and would put that in the form of a motion. Mr. Peters then informed the I Board that the contract did provide that if the Board of Mayor and Aldermen did not implement it fully,through the financial aspects of it, the MEA could continue to negotiate on the issue of the salaries only so that what they are stating is that the School Board does not have power over the purse strings and that is why they are asking for a joint meeting. Mayor Mongan then asked for an interpretation from the Board of School Committee as to the wording in their telegram request for a joint meeting with the Board of Mayor and Aldermen or their representatives with Committeeman Branch advising that it was their intent to leave that to the Mayor. Mayor Mongan stated that there was a motion on the table, not seconded, for a cormnittee who were not Aldermen and specifically asked if the School Board wanted Aldermen specifically with Committeeman Branch ad I vising that the School Board had met many times with the Aldermen and their thought was that a committee to meet with the MEA might further the negotiations with a direct meeting and the School Board thought was that it would be the full Board of Mayor and Aldermen or sanae of the Aldermen, a committee appointed by you. Aid. Noel stated that he felt it should be the full Board of Mayor and Aldermen so that everyone would know what was going on. ^^ Mayor Mongan then brought up the fact that the question had arisen as to another de partment asking the same thing with Aid. Hunt advising that we are half way in the stream now and if we appropriate more money, which we don't have, to the school teachers who are important to our coimnunity, as is the Highway Department and every other de partment in the City, then we are going to be faced with the same request frc»n all I others? that he felt it could wait until 1970 when the next budget is being prepared. Aid. Martineau stated that it was too late for us tonight to meet with the MEA but we are having a regular Aldermanic Meeting tomorrow night and by that time we will know what the result is and if the teachers and the executive board of the MEA show their I good faith and if they do vote to go back to work on Wednesday then you can appoint a committee to serve with the School Board and the MEA but they have to show good faith, that they want to negotiate in good faith that they want to negotiate and we will too, and I say again that I will never consider, myself, under the threat of a strike; if they go on strike, that is it. amjm 33 Committeeman Pollock informed the Board that, in his opinion, there is a conspiracy tween certain School Board members and certain members of the Administration and the and I say that whatever committee be selected should be careful because in many areas people are interested in pushing scxnething on the taxpayers other than just the school teachers and he was convinced, personally, of this? over the last two years he had bee: I on the committee and the original negotiating committee was never disbanded, they just decided that they needed a new one, they were told that they better get rid of this member and reiterated his charge of a conspiracy. Committeeman Branch then stated that this was a different situation, that there was no I other group who might want a raise where it has to go through two complete Boards as y< do here; they have to go through our Finance Committee and our full Board then your Finance Committee and full Board and he felt this made some difference in discussing finances. Committeeman Wallace pointed out that he did not feel that negotiations had been closed that, personally, from meeting with this group, he felt that something could be ar ranged between now and the end of the year that would not entail any more monetary al location and that he did not agree with the Alderman from Ward 12 that it was too late to negotiate to reach an agreement, that to reach an agreement it could be done at any time and he felt that we should still make an effort, that the Board of Mayor and Alder I men could still becane involved and further he did not think things were quite as black as everyone was trying to paint them tonight. Mayor Mongan pointed out that a meeting now with the MBA could not hope to accOTtiplish T what the School Board had tried to acccwnplish in twenty-two meetings, and further that the Aldermen should be considered full partners in negotiations not limiting it to finances, that the full contract would be open to consideration by the full Board of Mayor and Aldermen. Committeeman Wallace stated that this could be discussed at one meeting. Again Mayor Mongan stated that the question was still before the Board of Mayor and Al dermen as to whether the Board wished to meet in joint negotiations with the Board of School Committee or their representatives with the MBA and that he would like to hear I frc»n the Aldermen on this. Aid. Bergquist stated that as Aldermen we only set up the budget, give the money to the School Board to spend as they see fit and he felt it was their responsibility to carry the ball and negotiate with the MEA, not ours, that it was about time the School Board I took the bull by the horns and left us alone, that in looking back in our Charter, he saw where we had no responsibility whatsoever to the MEA. Aid. Acorace advised that it was probably the feeling of the majority of the Board, that at this point perhaps a meeting would be fruitless, that having funds to grant plus the fact that this Board could not commit a future Board so that if we did get involved, we could offer no more. Mayor Mongan then made reference to the number of meetingps that had been held on the • negotiations and that regarless of whether there had been or will be a committee of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, there would be no guarantee that the full Board would go along with their recommendations and made reference to a motion, some years ago where the Library Trustees had voted to approve $10,000*00 to keep the library open additional hours, but when he came in to the Board, this was voted down and this could I very well happen here. He further made reference to the number of meetings the Alder- men had last year in addition to the various ccnnmittee meetings and to add the negotiating meetings for the School Board and the possibility of negotiating with various other departments, it was a possibility that the Aldermen would come in to champion the I various departments on which committee they served and still would be outvoted in the final analysis. Committeeman Chenard then spoke at length relative to the need for the MEA to speak or negotiate with someone who has the control over financial matters; that the School Board was not trying to avoid their responsibilities but was trying to avoid a strike? that should the teachers go on strike it will not be the next administration which will face the problem but this Board present now. Aid. Martineau requested that the City Solicitor again brief the Board as to further legal action relative to their opinion as to the legality of the existing contracts and the possibility of contempt action and breach of contract. I The City Solicitor stated that he would not like to get into a discussion here as to the master contract? that the teachers had signed individual contracts leaving the master c Attorney Peters concurred with the City Solicitor's statements,that they felt they had done a good job, that the only time the Board of Mayor and Aldeannen should be present would be in financial matters because those are the only ones the Board has control over? but now that the deadline is here they could be playing one against the other. • ifTi-tM' I •,|- iiiij 33 rz He further stated that it appeared that Aid, Martineau had a reasonable suggestion wheP pe stated that we were at the deadline now and if you call off your strike and go to work on Wednesday, then the Mayor will be authorized to appoint as many men as he wants to meet with them for a limited time or a limited number of meetings and he felt this wou accomplich the purpose and it could never be said that either Board were not cooperati I with them. Mayor Mongan again stated that should the Aldermen become involi^ed it would not be only as far as financial matters are concerned but would include the entire contract since tlllere has been no mention made, other than benefits to the teachers, relative to the bettermenj I of education for the children. On motion of Aid. Martineau, duly seconded by Aid. Noel, it was voted that the communic tion from the Board of School Committee be tabled until the regular meeting of the Boar^ of Mayor and Aldermen on Tuesday, September 2, 1969. This being a special meeting with no further business to come before the Board except by unanimous consent of all members present, on motion of Aid. Acorace, duly seconded byj Aid. Noel, it was voted to adjourn. On motion of Committeeman Puchacz, duly seconded by Coiranitteeman Branch, it was voted that the School Board adjourn. A true record.

I Mayor Mongan then called the joint session to order, advising that he was aware of the rule of the Board of School Committee prohibiting television recording of meetings and stated that Channel 11 TV was present and wished to record the proceedings, requesting that a motion be made permitting this if acceptable. On motion of Committeeman Pollock, duly seconded by Committeeman Puchacz, it was voted that Channel 11 be permitted to re cord the proceedings of the meeting. Uis Minutes On motion of Aid. Hunt, duly seconded by Aid. Bergquist, it was voted to dispense with • the reading of the minutes of the previous meeting of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen. On motion of Committeeman Lamontagne, duly seconded by Cc»nmitteeman Branch, it was voted to dispense with the reading of the minutes of the previous meeting of the Joint School Dispensed! Board and Board of Aldermen. Purpose Mayor Mongan advised that the purpose of calling the joint session was to request that I the school buildings, which are in the custody of the Board of School Committee and since in the last difficulties the schools, in some cases, were closed and the children sent home by the principals, be turned over to the school custodians in order to open and keep open during the school day. On motion of Committeewc»nan Brown, duly seconded I by CoEnmitteeman Drouin, it was voted that this action be taken. Mayor Mongan then advised that he had Requested the Police Department to have an officer at each school tomorrow, the Pire Department to have an officer or firefighter there and the Parks and Recreation Department who has the responsibility for the grounds to IP have a man at each school and in addition the Health Department will have nurses in schools as far as possible and the Maintenance Department who has the responsibility to maintain the schools will have representation so that will be five people in each school in addition to which the Highway Department will have members of the engineering staff to fill in at the junior high schools so that all schools will be open and re quested that this action be confiimed by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen since, as I Mayor, he did not have the authority, that this action should be taken by the various commissions involved. On motion of Aid. Bergquist, duly seconded by Aid. Noel, it was voted that Mayor Mongan's Voted action in safeguarding the children be confirmed. Cc»nmitteeman Martel requested that the Board of Mayor and Aldermen reconsider their action of last night to avoid a catastrophe which could happen in allowing the children to enter the buildings without having the teachers present. Committeeman Martel spoke at some length on this matter, stating that he did not see where any harm could come from meeting with the MEA, advising they were only a few blocks away and made a motion, seconded by Committeeman LaPlante, to have the Aldermen meet with the MEA. The City Solicitor stated that in his opinion the motion was out of order, that I it would have to be a motion of the full Board. Vice Chairman Pappas then asked if the tabled communication was not before the regular meeting of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen tonight and Mayor Mongan advised that it was^ with Mr. Pappas stating that he could see no sense to the motion. Mayor Mongan I then inquired if this should be considered as a second request frcm the Board of School Cantttnittee that the Board of Mayor and Aldermen meet jointly with the MEA and the School Committee and Committeeman Martel answered yes. Committeeman Pollockthen stated that he was quite concerned about the 14 thousand pupils and r^ninded the meeting that a good suggestion was made last night relative to the rrmi^^^t^^^^m 337 • teachers shionving their good faith and returning to. school following which we would be <||p|en to meet with the MEA. Mr. LaPlante stated that he would like to clarify a point since seconded the motion and stated that he did so because as a Committeeman he felt this w< owed to the MEA because there was a clause in the written contract which said that if the wages, etc., agreed upon was not met by the Board of Mayor and Aldermen, that a fai I ful effort would be made to reach an agreement and in his estimation, this was being d Coiranitteewonan Brown supported this but stated that she agreed with the point made last night in that it was difficult to negotiate under a strike threat. At the request of Mayor Mongan, the City Solicitor advised of action that had been take I since last nights meeting, pointing out that, as of this afternoon, all of the officers of the MEA and the Executive Board and all members of the MEA, all public school teache s not members of the MBA and all persons unknown who were taking a part in these proceediff|gs and who can be brought in for contempt were being served, following the court issuance of the requested injunction and the court's direction in instructing the officers and directors of the MEA to notify their members to return to work tomorrow and precluding action pertaining to a strike against the City of Manchester that would be taken collecttlvely This injunction was signed by the court and it will take a number of hours to get out tl orders of notice but all will be served during the evening with this injunction and per tinent papers. There will be a court hearing on the temporary injunction sometime duri] I the week of September 15th. He stated that if the teachers honor this injunction they would vote tomorrow morning to return to school and if they disobey the injunction then we are prepared to bring them in on criminal contempt and we will have people there to see what is going on. Vice Chairman Pappas then stated that it was crystal-clear the court had ruled in favor of the Board of School Committee that the teachers return to their classes tomorrow and we feel quite sure that they will return but in case, to all interested parents who are • concerned about the welfare and safety of their children, and along with the Mayor's action, the Board of School Committee has established work schedules to man any schools necessary and stated that he felt quite confident there would be no problem. Committeeman Martel then stated that his reason for the motion was simply to re-emphasiz I the importance of a meeting between these groups, that he disagreed somewhat with Mr. Pappas in his statement that there would be no problem tomorrow, that he felt many teaches would not report to school in spite of the injunction and stressed again his feeling as b :> the importance of a meeting with the MEA. He then withdrew his motion. J In reply to an inquiry from Mayor Mongan, Vice Chairman Pappas advised that the Board of School Cotmnittee would adjourn to the Administration Building and the Board of Mayor and Aldermen would proceed with their regular meeting.

I Roll Call Present: Committeemen Branch, Brown, Martel, Drouin, Monaghan, Puchacz, Pappas, JSB Lamontagne, Burke, Pollock, LaPlante, Chenard and Wallace {Purpose of Mayor Mongan advised that there had been some preliminary meetings to this one involving lee ting the Negotiating Committee of the Board of School Committee and the special Committee of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen in which some avenues of agreement were explored and that during one of these meetings it was stated by representatives of the MBA that the proposed implementation of the master contract that all phases must be impleatiented by September 1st, with the next question being where would the money come frasa with the possibility that the pay for the last three days would accumulate and be available but it does not work out that way because the auditor pays 1/3 for the balance of I the year and 2/3 for next fiscal year so that no matter how many days are worked in this fiscal year it still comes out the same so that the money for the past few days is not available, however there is a source of money which, quite frankly, we thought was already spent. As you know there was $39,000.00 appropriated out of the sale of the land to the telephone company, this allocated for the purchase of typewriters, and by putting this money on a short term note since the typewriters have not been paid for, this would make the only source of funds available so that what we are proposing now to you now is that the ten step program be implemented immediately, which means for the full month of September, on the five percent index and in return for that the teachers would return to work on Monday and the contract would be open for further negotiation. In the period between now and the end of the year, the negotiations will continue on H other sections of the contract on which we have questions and then the contract would be signed and on the last pay period in December we would implement the other two steps to make up the full twelve steps. By implementing them on the last pay period of December, they are on the books for the new fiscal year and are automatically carried I over; and on the last pay period of December we would also have to go back to all other City employees and give them a comparable pay raise so that this will be a very expensive situation, not on this years tax rate but on next years. If there is no money for the other employees pay raise it will just have to cc»ne out of the budget for whatever de partment they work for and hoping the department will end up not in the red. m^iM mmmm 349 Mayor Mongan further advised that this was the proposal that had been worked out. Mayor Mongan then stated that he was aware of the rule of the School Board relative to recordings of proceedings and advised that WHDH-TV Channel 5 was present and requester permission to televise the proceedings. On motion of Committeeman Pollock, duly secon()||^|3 by Committeeman Puchacz, it was voted that permission be granted to televise the meeti I Mayor Mongan then advised that this meeting would be to take action on the report of t Aldermanic Special Committee and the Negotiating Committee of the Board of School Commi |:tee on the action taken this afternoon at the meeting with the MEA. A report of the Special Aldermanic Committee was presented wherein it was respectfully I recOTEunended, after due and careful consideration, that we approve funding of contract approved by the Board of School Committee effective December 1, 1969 with the following exceptions: 1. Sick Leave reduced 90 days to 60 days. 2. Health Insurance to be reduced from $9.50 to $5.00 per month 3. Sabbatical leave approved but anaot funded in 1960-1970. 4.

On motion of Aid. Hunt, duly seconded by Aid. Walsh, it was voted that the report of the Committee be accepted and its recommendations adopted. [Adopted A report of the School Board Negotiating Committee was presented wherein it was respectf|||lly recommended, after due and careful consideration, together with a special camnittee of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen recommend that the master contract of the Manchester Education Association previously approved and signed by the Board of School Camnittee • be revised in accordance with provisions of the vote of the Board of Mayor and Aldermen at the recc»ranendation of the Special Committee on Negotiations as follows: Approve funding of the contract as approved fey the Board of School Committee effective December 1, 1969 with the following exceptions: I 1. Sick leave reduced 90 days to 60 days. 2. Health Insurance to be reduced from $9.50 to $5.00 per month. 3. Sabbatical leave approved but not funded in 1969-1970. 4. Bereavement leal^e reduced frcxn 5 days to 3 days, according to School Committee chang^ I on Article 17, Section (c). 5. Extracurricular activity be funded September 1969. It is further approved that the Mayor be authorized to appoint a Committee of Aldermen to meet jointly with the Negotiating Committee of the Board of School Committee and the MEA for all further contracts. On motion of Vic^ Chairman Pappas, duly seconded^by Committeeman Puchacz, it was voted that the report of the School Board Negotiating 350 Adopted Committee be accepted and its recommendations adopted. Ald.Casej Aid. Casey stated that after taking quite a bit of abuse over the past few days on the telephone, it was his feeling, if we accept this contract as is tonight, he sincerely hoped that all other departments would be reconsidered in all faithfulness. Comm. Cc»nmitte€anan Burke made a recommendation that, in all future negotiations, an attorney Burke be present to insure no further problems of this type. I Catnmitteeman Martel inquired, as to further and future negotiations with a Joint Cc»nmittee, Martel if the Aldermen would have a right to vote with Mayor Mongan advising that the initial request was that a joint committee be formed such as the Joint School Building Coromitte which has equal rights on both sides with the right to vote so that a joint negotiating 1 committee would also have a full vote. Aid. 3Ald. Walsh stated that he hoped that any further negotiations with a Joint Committee falsh would not have a conflict with animosity on either side. Conttn. Committeeman Pollock stated that one thing which disturbed him was the fact that it ap Pollock parently had not been made clear# nor have we been assured that the MEA recognizes that there is no such thing as being allowed to strike, and that he was concerned about the discussion in this particular area and that this was his particular objection to the proposed settlement. Mayor Mongan stated that the master contract contains Article II regarding Strikes etc., which prohibits them frc«n such action under the contract and then if the contract is not renewed at the end of the school year, the I Association may engage in any activity which is not unlawful in the State of New Hampshire and since strikes are unlawfuliit would seem they cannot strike. Mr. Pollock stated that the only reason he was going along with the recommendations was because of the children involved that after the recent actions of the teachers he was convinced we no longer have dedicated teachers, in this respect we should be assured they must be obedient to the law with no more tapping them on the wrist and we should be assured by the MEA that there will be no strikes; we negotiated faithfully but we had teachers in Manchester who stood out against the law and the only reason he was going along with this was to insure the children of the City get a good education. Burke re Committeeman Burke requested, if it were proper, that the minutes of this afternoon's minutes meeting be read with Mayor Mongan advising that this had been an Executive Session and I that only the results of the meeting are published. Mayor Mongan then stated that remarks had already been made relative to assurance that other City departments be given equitable treatment in December along with the treat- . ment given the school teachers and on motion of Aid.

Hunt, Bergquist, Enright, Kelley, Walsh, Casey, Larochelle, Verville, Wilcox, Head and Martineau. Aid. Noel was absent because of a death in the family and vacancies existing in Wards 13 and 14. Mayor Mongan announced the first item of business was the Petition for Condemnation and ondemna- lion Pet Assessment of Damages relative to the Derryfield Ski Slope Area, advising that the Board would hear all those in favor and then those against, and that a time and date for viewii the properties in question would then be set. The City Solicitor then outlined the steps involved in the taking and explained in detail the petition and the efforts that had beei made and the meetings held to effect a settlement with all parties. He further advised that at the time of the viewing the Aldermen would have to determine if the land is to I be acquired and set forth damages occasioned by the taking, the return to be filed in ths City Clerk's office and at that time the Treasurer would issue checks to the people in volved in the amount determined by the Board and the City would then become the owners of the property and the individuals involved would then have thirty days to appeal to th^ I Superior Court. Mr. Roche further stated that time was of the essence, that he had been informed by Mr. Lemire that if this project is not underway within a month, then we stan^ a chance of loosing Federal money. Mr. Roche then stated that those people present can now state their views and that between now and the date for the viewing, he and Mr. Kant^ r s ^^ the appraiser, would make themselves available to answer any questions. In answer to a 352 question from Mayor Mongan, Mr. Roche informed the Board that all parties concerned had received letters informing them of the proposed price and were fully aware of all details and, further, that he had received letters from certain individuals indicating what they felt they should receive.

Mr. Arthur Arsenault of 193 Kennard Road, one of the abutters, stated that he had a problem which might differ from some of the others in that he presently owned three acres of land, assessed at $2,000 and that with the taking, his land would drop down I to 36,000 square feet which will then have an assessed value of $3,000 because it is in an R2 district and this automatically will make the value of his land $7,200.00, he would be loosing 73% of his land and taxes will go up and that this made no sense to him. Mr. Arsenault stated that he had discussed this with the Assessors. Mr. Bergquist stated that he had also checked into this situation, that apparently two other individuals would be taxed on the same basis and it did not seem proper or fair to him. Mr. Gervais of 163 Kennard Road stated that he would prefer having stakes put in his land with Mr. Roche advising that some of the parties did not want stakes and that no land was being taken 200 feet south of Kennard Road. I Mr. Thomas Walsh of 123 Kennard Road then spoke advising that he felt everyone knew they did not want to loose their land, that a project like this was still involved with tax money whether it was City, State or Federal and the taxpayer was still going to pay it no matter which pocket it came out of. He objected also on the basis on which they would be taxed. Mr. Walsh further stated that everyone knew this was to be a children's slope, that he did not believe it would be self-maintaining, it would add maintenance costs to the City for years to ccnne.

Present, representing the Fire Department were Commissioners Galvin and Spevack, Chief Lydon and Nicholas Isaak, Architect. Mr. Isaak,as the architect for the new Central Fire Station, acted in the capacity, of spokesman for the Fire Department and answered questions posed by members of the I Board of Mayor and Aldermen, Aid. Martineau being very outspoken in his objections to the cost of ttojre new Fire Station. Mrv Isaak outlined basic costs as follows: basic building $1,620,000 for the low biddeer, relocation of sewer $18,000.00, furniture and equipment $82,000.00, cable relocation $75,000.00, contingency $100,000.00, engineering and architectural fees $100,000.00, and various other items for a total of $1,900,000.00. Mr. Isaak advised that this building would have to be built under s*trict Fire-proo standards required by the National Board of Underwriters and alio re- quired by our own Building Code, meaning that this building is steel-framed with all of the steel contained in concrete, not the type of building required for a lighter type of building such as a school . Following a lengthy discussion, on motion of Aid. Martineau, duly seconded by Aid. Hunt, I it was voted that John F. Grogan, Planning Director, be permitted to outline the bond issues incurred and to be incurred by the City over the next few years. Mr. Grogan then presented a chart and answered questions posed by the Aldermen relative to capital outlay expenditures, advising that the City would, very shortly, have to make a deter John I Grogan mination as to its immediate needs and set a definite goal for bonding limitations. He outlined and presented charted figures to the Board as to present commitments and future needs of the City which will be of an immediate nature. Mr. Grogan advised that a definite capital expenditure outlay system should be determined . 371 with realistic figures to be charter for future bonded items, allowing for items which will normally be required on an emergency nature. Aid. Martineau stated that very serious consideration should be given to the City's fut bonding capacity and stated it was his feeling that two million dollars was a most expewsivir e fire station since new schools were buing constructed at lesser cost. I A communication was presented as received from Forsaith Daniels wherein he advised that he had been requested to serve as a special representative of the New England Telephone Company pursuing its construction schedule on premises currently occupied by the Fire :omm. fr. Ir. Daniels! I Department, advising that the Elm Street administration building is proceeding accordin to building schedule, the Telephone Company scheduled to take possession following term nation of a lease on the present Central Fire Station on December 31, 1969, and that plans are proceeding for the demolition of the present fire station, in whole or in part, in January 1970 in order to meet the Telephone Company requirements for expansion of their local facilities by the early fall of 1972. Chief Lydon advised of the temporary and tentative arrangements that had been made with the Telephone Company for occupancy of the newer portion of the Fire Station, with de molition of the older portion to proceed, maintaining the communications system and re quiring the realbcation of equipnent, the only problem being location of the snorkel which was contemplated being placed at Engine 9. I Mr. Isaak advised that only very small amounts could be saved in stripping the building of various partitions, that figures as to cost of the acquisition of the properties in volved were under the jurisdiction of the Urban Renewal Department (John Grogan advisinc that a bond issue had been approved in the amount of $1,930,000.00 for acquisition of a three block area for the Civic Center Project.) Aid. Bergquist stated that the revaluation of all property would no doubt increase the Id. Berg- uist City's bonding capacity and that, further, he felt when the City had sold the property the Telephone Company, it had definitely committed itself to construction of a new fire station. There being no further questions, representatives of the Fire Department and Mr. Grogan were excused from the meeting.

Haynes, the City's consultant with regard to the condition of the Kelley's Falls Bridge, had submitted his final report which was considered at a meeting of the Commission held on October 14, 1969 with Mr. Haynes in attendance; that it was Mr, Hayne's conclusion that the results of his preliminary report of August 22, 1969 were no longer valid - that it was a far more serious condition than originally thought; that the present con dition of the structure precludes any reasonable procedure for maximum rehabilitation for a life expectancy of twenty years; that minimum repairs to provide a structure for limited gross loads for a periof of not more than five years will cost over $200,000; that sidewalk repairs along will probably cost in the area of $30,000. and that the Highway Commission, acting on Mr. Haynes' recommendation had unanimously voted the I following emergency measures: 1. The bridge be restricted to passenger car traffic only - no trucks, no busses, in the interest of safety to the public.
