P 0. Box 12047. Northside Station Atlanta.Georgia 30305 2G99 September 2, 1966 To: The Honorable Ivan Allen, Jr. Mayor Captain J. I. Martin, President, Atlanta Fire Fighters Union Independent The Honorable Sam Phillips McKenzie, Judge, Superior Court, Fulton County Our City of Atlanta is again con£ronted with the grave probability of another and more serious lack of fire protection. As one of the spiritual and moral leaders of the community, I feel that I have an obligation to speak out to both parties involved in the present confrontation over the wages, hours and working conditions of the Atlanta firemen, together with the impending work stoppage. As a religious leader, I am concerned about the justice involved on both sides : On the one hand the responsibility of the firemen to the community and the public interest; and on the other hand the responsibility of the co11D1Unity to the firemen and their families. The obligations in justice are mutual. As a citizen I am concerned over the practical implementation of this matter. I also speak as one who is responsible for a school system in which thousands of children are enrolled. surely everything possible must be done to assure the protection of all the children who are returning to school this week. From all the information I have received from the news media and other sources as well as Dr. E. D. Harrison's recent hearing and findings, it seems to be well established, and generally agreed by all, that the aunicipal employees of the City are not on a wage-hour scale commensurate with current economic standards for similar services. That this general problem of inequitable working conditions for municipal employees requires a solution in the near future is without doubt. Nevertheless, the present problem is in the specific arm.of the Fire Department and its demands. I have heard that it is agreed that monies are availabvle from present 1966 appropriations for the Fire Department due to unfilled vacancies in that Department throughout the past year. On the other hand, the greatest obstacle at the present time in granting the increase imm diately or retroactively from September 1, 1966 seems to be a legal one: namely, a law of the State of Georgia which prohibits the City of Atlanta from granting any pay raises after March 1 of the current fiscal yearo The legal opinion that such a retroactive pay raise is illegal has been tendered by both the City Attorney and an unknown attorney employed by �2- Dr. Harrison. The attorney for the Atlanta Fire Fighters Union Independent is of a different opinion. I realize that both parties have been subjected to various pressures to resolve these differences and both parties are also under great press ure from those whcae concern is other than the firemen's immediate, economic problems. I feel that the Mayor has acted in good faith in his defacto recognition of captain J. I. Martin representing the voice of the .majority of the firemen in the f>epartment. I have first hand information that Captain Martin and his Executive Board have been trying to do everything that is humanly possible to avoid another work stoppage, and that is his responsibility. Mayor Allen and the City are on record as recognizing and being in sympathy with the needs of the situation. Both parties, therefore, seem to be working honestly and in good faith. Since it seems to be a legal question which threatens our collllllUnity with such disasterous and unbearable consequences, may I respectfully suggest that the following possible solution be carefully considered: First: That both parties put their legal differences in writing (perhaps in the form of a suit for a declaratory judgment). Second: That this legal difference of opinion be resolved by submitting this legal point, and only this legal point, to an impartial legal arbitrator whose expertise in legal matters and sense of fairness are unquestionable. Third: Tha t this legal expert be Judge Sam Phillips McKenzi e , subj ect to the approval of the Chief Judge of the Superior Court, the Honorable Virlyn Moore. Fourth: Tha t t he attorneys for both par tie s submit their c a se to Judge McKenzie within 48 hours eithe r by or al a rgumentation or by means of written brief or both f or his consider ed j udgment . Fifth : Tha t thi s j udgment be rendered as expedi t iously as possible by Judge McKenz i e afte r due consi der a tion. Sixt h: 1£ J udge McKenzie r ules that such a ret roact i ve increase is ill egal then the Uni on agrees that i t wi l l cease any further economic action to secure its demands prior to January 1, 1967. Seventh: 1£ Judge McKenzie rules that the City may lega lly grant said increase in salary and relief for the firemen out of available surplus funds (assuming the funds are available), then the City will grant such increases, retroac tively to Sep tember l , 1966 , as may be a greed upon by the parties . I realize t hat this is a s t op -gap and teaporary solution and does not bring int o the picture the PAS report or the concern of other parties for the plight of other city empl oyees. I believe, however, that it would certainly how the citizens of Atlanta that both partie have gone the last ail in order to bring about a reasonable, honorable nd just settlement . �3- The citizens of Atlanta cannot and will not tolerate another strike by their firemen, and I do not think the citizens will tolerate their firemen not receiving fair and just wages and working hours. If my offices can be used by either or both parties in resolving these or other differences, I respectfully offer their full resources. Should this be the case, I ask that you contact the Auxiliary Bishop, Most Reverend Joseph L. Bernardin, since I am presently in st. Joseph's Infirmary undergoing some tests.

These employees are divided so that one Fire Captain, one Fire Driver, one Fire Sergeant and four Firemen work one shift with one Fire Captain, one Fire Driver, and five Firemen working the second shift, The shifts are so arranged that four employ- = ees of the fourteen are off at all times; thus the effective shift becomes five employees for each of the respective shifts, The arrangement of these shifts are made in such a manner that will assure that at least four men are on duty at all times, In fact, the ratio appears to provide approximately 4.3 men for each piece of equipment at each station. It is our understanding that if the manpower falls below four men for each piece of equipment, the equipment must be removed from ser- vice until che manpower is equal or exceeds four men, Double Unit Stations: Fire Station numbers 5, 7, 8, 16, 21, 24, 25, 29, and 30 are double unit sta- tions staffed with twenty-eight employees. This staff consists of the following: Fire Captains Fire Lieutenants Fire Sergeants Fire Drivers Fire Engineers Firemen 1 On NMNhMN r These employees are distributed so that each shift has one Fire Captain, one Fire Lieutenant, one Fire Sergeant, one Fire Driver, one Fire Engineer and nine Firemen, The work. schedule is so arranged that eight employees of the staff are off at all times.  Fh bh @ fu ft 1) fa vd fp f . 0 rH prt Q f fu A f fi 8 ! fe unit stations, Fire Station No. 17 is also sta 9 ters with a single unit station.

In the case of Fire Station 17, the classifications are equally assigned except for the classification of Fire Sergeant, One shift has two Fire Sergeants assigned, and the other shift has only one. Each of the shifts are so arranged that at least nine men are off at all times. Headquarters Station Fire Station No, 1 has in addition to being a double unit station, a rescue unit, a salvage unit, and a chief's car. In addition to the twenty-eight employees re- guizcau Co operate the Engine and Aerial Divisions, the Rescue Unit requires seven employees, the Salvage Unit requires three employees, and the Chief's Car requires three employees; thus making the total staff of 41 men at Fire Station No. 1. The Department at the moment is staffed with 795 positions. 722 of these posi-= tions are assigned to the various stations as indicated above. The remaining 73 employees are assigned to the office, fire investigation, maintenance, and WEALHIARS = Qe Day and Nicht Shifts: : As mentioned earlier, each station is staffed with two shifts. The day shift r consists of ten hours per day, five days per week or fifty hours per week; and the might shift consists of fourteen hours per day, five days per week ur ocveuty huurs per week, The shifts are rotated so that one platoon is on the day shift one week and on the night shift the next. The rotation is made on Saturdays with the shift on duty serving for a twenty-four hour period, STAFFING REQUIREMENTS FOR A 56 HOUR WEEK One of the resolutions passed by the International Association of Fire Fighters xecommends that the City establish a 56 hour workweek and inaugurate a three-platoon system with one platoon working the day shift, one platoon working the night shift, and one platoon being off each four working days with two days off between cycles, The publication entitled "Municipal Fire Administration", published by the’ Interna-= tional City Managers" Association, illustrates the work schedule of a three-platoon system to be as follows: Sun, Mon. Tues. Wed, Thurs. ris Sat. Sun. NIGHT (14 hours) B B A A C Cc B 3 DAY (10 hours) A A Cc ¢ BR B A A "In estimating the manpower required for the fire department, the total desired operating strength for each unit should be multiplied by a figure representing the number of men required under the current work week to perform each job, For example, if 100 men are required to man the apparatus and the department works a 56-hour week the req quirements would be 100 x 3, plus a figure representing the number of hours of we on ct fe vaca granted each man and a figure representing the actual percentage of sick leave es shown by fire department records," lt may be desirable to allow an "excess" of perhaps 5 or 10 per cent, where municipal finances permit, to take care of manpower fluctuations due to abnormal sickne.s, special inspection and training programs, and emergency conditions such as » 3 «= when a number of men are incapacitated by serious fires. Also there is 2 turnover consisting of vacancies to be filled and new men not yet adequately trained that must be taken into consideration," At present we heve 48 fire fighting units in service, five Battalion Chiefs‘ Cars, one Rescue Unit, one Lighting Truck, ons Supply and Salvege Truck, and one Chief's Car, The manpower required to maintain the present level of service for one shift is as follows: 48 Fire Fighting Units at 4,5 men each 216 5 Batalilion Chiefs’ Cars with 2 mea each 10 1 Rescue Unit with 2 men each 2 1 Light Truck with 1 man 1 1 Supply and Salvage Truck with 1 man Z L Chief's Car with 1 man 25 Total ZL In order to determine the number of employees that are required to maintain the 43 fire fighting units and other equipment set forth above, we are to take the man- power that is required to maintain these units on a one-shift basis, We are to take this manpower and multiply by an index of 3 as set forth in the formula quoted from the “Municipal Fire Administration" publication. Thus the computation becomes 231 men X 3 = 693 employees exclusive of vacations, holidays, sick leaves, and other leaves. The formula further states that we are then to compute the vacations, legal holidays, sick leaves, injury leaves, military leaves, etc., for the average en- ployee. We have reseabehed ‘fhe records in the Fire Department, and from these records we have determined these leaves to be as follows: Vacati 20 days Legal Holidays 7 days Sick Leave & Injured Days Off based on 65 average 8 days Military & Other Leaves ; _2 days Average Per Employee 37 days When we take the 37 days per employee and multiply by eight hours per day by the 693 men required, we then show the need of covering 205, 128 man-hours in which We have calculated che effective work year for a single fireman to be 2,616 — a & = ee a ee eee  This being 56 hours X 52 weeks less 296 hours off for vacation, holidays, sick leave, military leave, etc. If this 2,616 effective working hours per year is divided into the 205,128 man-hours off due to sick leave, vacation, holidays, ctc., results in the need for 78 men in reserve for time off purposes to implement a 56-hour workweek based on a three platoon system. In order to maintain the same level of service of . + + Cae ee z avatt 4,5 men per unit, the second paragraph quoted from "Municipal Fire Administration 7 states that we add five to ten percent for a manpower reserve, However, in discuss- ing this matter with Chief C, H, Hildebrand, he feels that we can provide a reserve factor of three percent and still maintain four men per unit. When we take the 693 wired for a three platoon system plus the 78 men needed in reserve for time o ka Fh fa 5 [ar iH eave purposes, we then have a total manpower requirement of 771. In apply- ing the three percent reserve factor, we find that we now need an additional 23 men for this purpose or a total staff of 794, Our present manpower assigned to the fire fighting units totals 722 as set forth in Section I. When this is deducted from the required 794 men, we then show a need of 72 additional employees in order to imple- ment 4a 56-hour workweek based on a three platoon systen.

Text Any textual data included in the document ROUGH DRAFT INFORMATION TO BE INCLUDED IN AFFIDAVIT The City of Atlanta operates on a well planned, well programmed 16) annual budget. The City has certain prescribed rules and regulations in it Charter dealing with the anticipation of revenues, the appropriation of funds, and the like. These laws were enacted in 1937 and have been amended several times since. The budget law was prompted by the fact that the City was almost financially bankrupt and was having to issue script in order to pay its employees and vendors. We have found that by living with these rules and regulations, good,sound financial budgets can be made and can be lived up to. In fact, we have extended the practice within the office of forecasting revenues and operating expenses for as much es five years hence before making a particular calendar year budget. The 1966 calendar year budget was made in actordance with the budget laws which are contained in the Charter of the City and the practice of fore- * v r casting revenues and operating costs for several years Anticipated revenue estimates for the 1966 budget were forecast and reviewed as early as May, 1965. These estimates were again reviewed in July, August, October, November and December, and corrections made according to economic changes during this period. Budget request forms were forwarded to the various departments of the City on September 15, 1965, and these were completed and returned to this office by October 15. These requests totaled $ and availab revenue projections that had been made in October indicated that we could provide for only $ ‘ The budget requests of the various departments were thoroughly reviewed by this office and were reviewed by the Finance Committee, together with the officials of the various departments. These hearings were conducted on November 2, 3 and 4, 1965. The Budget Commission, who is responsible for anticipating all revenues of the City and making certain appropriations such as debt service, met and approved the tentative estimated receipts for the year 1966 on November 30, 1965. The tentative budget was published as re- quired by Charter of the City on : Several meetings were held during the months of November and December for the purpose of reviewing revenues and requests for additional equipment, new employees, reclassifications, etc. These requests were thoroughiscreened and only the bare essentials were approved. The 1966 Pay and Classification Plan, which provided a 4 1/4% increase for every employee on the payroll of the City was formulated and approved by the Finance Committee and presented to che Board of Aldermen on December 20, 1965. Requests for new employees and reclassifications were reviewed and presented to the Board of Aldermen for adoption on January 4, 1966. The Budget Commission of the City is composed of the Mayor, Chairman of the Finance Committee, the Comptroller, and two aldermen elected by the Board of Aldermen each year to serve for the calendar year. The two aldermen to serve on the 1966 Budget Commission were elected at the meeting of 3 January 4, 1966, The 1966 Budget Commission met January 4, 1966 and reviewed the final fu receipts of 1965 and established the estimated receipts for 1966 in accordance with the practice and principles that have been used by the City for the last several years. The Budget Commission recommendation was filed as required by law with the Board of Aldermen on Monday, January 17, 1966. Committee met on January 4, 1966, reviewed and adopted the final budget for the year 1966 and this was presented to the Board of Aldermen on January 17, 1966. It may be well to note that the Budget Commission cannot change its anticipations on present sources of revenue until the collections on that source eS eS — a = SS oo SS SS Se ES SESS of revenue has exceeded the amount anticipated. It also may be well to note that each member of the Budget Commission is personally liable in the event that the collections are less than the amount of revenue anticipated.  Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
