Strikes\nand strike threats by public employees, continuing disputes between\npublic employees and public agencies, and the fact that the public\ninterest can be shunted to the side underscore the need for a new law.\n\"Today, I am happy to announce that Senator Collier will\nintroduce legislation that will provide a reasonable and fair process\nfor solving disputes between local public employees and their public\nemployers. And I emphasize the word 'fair' because it not only\nprotects the rights of public employees and their employers, but the\ngeneral public as well.\n\"The bill will create the Public Employee Relations Board\nwhich will have the responsibility of protecting the rights of all\nunder the law.\n\"At the present time there is no agency in California to\ninsure the rights of public employee organizations and public agencies\nconcerning the terms and conditions of employment. The board will\nhave this function.\n\"The bill prohibits strikes by public employees. But it\nwill put an end to unreasonable actions taken by local public agencies\nin denying public servants the right to organize and to be recognized\nin employee relations.\n\"I think the time has come when it is necessary for everyone\nto recognize the inherent difference between public and private\nemployment. The status of public employees is not comparable to\nprivate employees, either in fact or in law. Basic differences between\nthe two groups arise from the fact that the public employer was\nestablished for the benefit of all the people. Its authority derives\nnot from the profit motive in private enterprise, but from the people\nthemselves.\n\"The Collier bill makes these distinctions and, at the same\ntime, will bring stability to employee-employer relations in our cities\nand counties. \"\n# # #\nWalthall\nCALIFORNIA TAXPAYERS' ASSOCIATION\nMel Morris - Phone 441-0490\n900 Eleventh and L Bt Iding\nMay 1, 1974\nSacramento, California 95814\nFOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE\nThe California Taxpayers' Association has joined the League\nof California Cities and the County Supervisors Association of\nCalifornia in support of legislation which will provide guidelines,\nprocedures and supervising authority for resolving disputes between\npublic agencies and their employees.\n\"In most cases public employees must decide whether they want\ncivil service with all of its protections or whether they want to\nenter into collective bargaining with employers for contracts,\"\nRobert C. Brown, executive vice president of Cal-Tax said. \"There\nare differences between civil service and the private industrial\nsystem, not only in how public holidays are determined and wages and\nbenefits paid, but in job protection.\n\"For the most part local government agencies are not capable\nof conducting the same bargaining with employees that business and\nindustry can. When a dispute arises in public employment, the\nelected officials go to the bargaining table subject to political\npressures very different from those of private industry negotiators.\"\nThe measure which carries the proposal is SB 2133, by Senator\nRandolph Collier, as it will be amended.\nThe measure will establish a statewide five-member Public\nEmployment Relations Board to hear disputes, supervise employee elec-\ntions and conduct negotiations. The law would permit formation of a\nlocal commission or board to perform the duties of the state board.\nThe measure establishes state policy that the concepts of\npublic employment are different from those in private employment.\nPublic employees are working for the good of all of the public where\nthe authority arises out of the concept of public good and not out\nof the motives of profit of the free enterprise system.\n# # #\nSTATEMENT OF THE COU. Y SUPERVISORS ASSOCIATION\nCALIFORNIA\nA. G. MAHAN, PRESIDENT\nMAY 1, 1974\nThe County Supervisors Association of Cal ifornia is pleased\nto join in the sponsorship of the \"Local Public Service Employee\nRelations Act,\" authored by Senator Collier.\nThe need for this legislation has been readily apparent.\nThe strike threats by public employees, the unfair practices charges\nagainst both employee organizations and local public agencies, the\nconfusion of the public when their vital services are interrupted by\nemployee actions -- all these are testimony to the very real need for\na rational and comprehensive overhaul of the state laws governing\nrelationships between local public employees and public employers.\nCounties have recognized this need in our past sponsorship\nof employee relations legislation and in our policies. We believe\nthis new measure balances the rights and needs of local public\nemployees with those of the taxpaying public. Further, it acknowledges\nthe inherent differences between private sector employment and public\nemployment: that the public employer is established by and run for\nthe benefit of all the people and its authority derives not from the\nprofit motive but from the constitution, statutes, municipal charters,\nand civil service rules and regulations.\nTherefore, we are proud today to join the Governor and the\nLeague of California Cities in announcing our endorsement of this\nmajor new legislation.\n# # #\nLEAGUE OF CALIFORNIA CITIES\nPRESS RELEASE\nMay 1, 1974\nLEGISLATION TO END STRIKES AND RESOLVE CONFLICTS IN PUBLIC\nEMPLOYMENT IS PROPOSED\nNew public sector labor relations legislation which is strongly\nendorsed by Governor Reagan and authored by Randolph Collier, Dean of\nthe State Senate, will be unveiled this week.\nThe proposal, jointly sponsored by the League of California\nCities and the County Supervisors' Association of California and\nsupported by the California Taxpayers Association, is the product of\ntwo years of effort by a special joint labor relations task force\nformed by the two local government organizations.\nThe Reagan-Collier proposal would replace the Meyers-Milias-\nBrown Act (current legislation in this field) with a comprehensive\nnew structure to govern the employment relationships of city, county\nand special district employees. The bill recognizes the inherent\ndistinctions between public and private employers and builds a\nstructure which protects the interests of the general public while\nalso assuring public employees of a fair and equitable wage and benefit\npackage.\nThe bill proposes formal collective negotiations, a ban on\nstrikes, a state board, and a process for resolving disputes while\nalso protecting the local taxpayer by requiring the elected local\nofficial to make the final determination on these matters which so\nseriously affect the local government budget.\nThe new legislation calls for a state Public Employment\nRelations Board composed of five full-time members who are required\nto possess qualifications and background in both labor relations and\ngovernmental operations. The PERB would be appointed by the Governor,\nwith the advice and consent of the Senate, and the members would serve\noverlapping terms of five years duration.\nThe proposal would also give local areas or regions the right\nto form local or area boards to serve in place of the State PERB if\nthe need exists and if the local board operates in a manner consistent\nwith the activities of the state board.\n-1-\nLeague of California Cities\nPage 2\nA process for resolving disputes during negotiations is spelled\nout in the legislation. The process includes mediation, and fact-\nfinding at the request of either party, and would also require public\ndisclosure of the fact-finder's recommendations if either side refuses\nto accept such recommendations. This procedure is designed to bring\nsubstantial public criticism to bear upon either the elected\nrepresentatives or the employee representatives should either party\nact unreasonably in their labor relations relationship.\nAs a further step in this effort to solve problems which can\narise in connection with the representation of public employees, the\nproposal spells out in clear language the rights of both the public\nemployee and the general public through their local government.\nIt also provides that in cases of dispute over these rights,\nthe PERB, will make binding determinations relative to their applica-\ntion.\nUnfair practices for both the public agency and the employee\norganization are identified and prohibited under the new law. It\ngives the PERB the duty of enforcing these prohibited practices and\nwould allow the PERB to issue cease and desist orders to either public\nemployers or public employees where they are engaging in an unfair\npractice.\nThe legislation being proposed will do much to stabilize labor\nrelations in California local government. It is a positive program\nto clarify the issues and solve many of the problems in local govern-\nment labor relations.\nWhile the legislation does provide an alternative to the strike\nin the public sector, it would not take responsibility or authority\naway from the elected officials who are selected by the citizens of\nlocal government to represent them. The proposed legislation\nspecifically prohibits public employees from striking or recognizing\nthe picket lines of employee organizations while in the performance\nof their duties as public employees of local government.\nIn summary, the legislation recognizes the fundamental dis-\ntinctions between public and private employment, and proposes a\nframework within which fair, equitable and stable local government\nlabor relations will take place. It prohibits strikes by local\ngovernment employees, it provides a mechanism to assure a fair wage,\nand it retains authority and responsibility for control of public\nexpenditures in the hands of locally elected public officials chosen\nby the citizens to set public policy in the interests of the\ncommunity.\n# # #\n5-1-74 PRESS CONFERENCE PARTICIPANTS:\nLeague of California Cities\nDon Wyle, Mayor, Woodland\nHelen Putnam, Mayor, Petaluma\nMary Henderson, Vice Mayor, Redwood City\nDon Benninghoven, Executive Director\nCounty Supervisors Association of California\nGerald Day, Supervisor, San Mateo County\n(and 1st Vice President of CSAC\nDonald Peterson, Supervisor, Humboldt County\n(Member, CSAC Executive Committee and Chairman,\nModernization Committee\nJoash Paul, Supervisor, Stanislaus County\n(and Chairman, CSAC Employee Relations Committee\nRalph Diedrich, Supervisor, Orange County\nRichard Watson, Executive Director\nCalifornia Taxpayers' Association\nBob Brown, Executive Director\nCalifornia State Chamber of Commerce\nJim Wroten, Employer/Employee Relations Specialist\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California 95814\nClyde Walthall, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n5-1-74\n#270\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today announced that he has signed the\nfollowing bills:\nAB 319 - Knox\nProvides that forms adopted by the State Department\nChapter 196\nof Health authorizing the release of an infant from\na health facility to persons other than those\nentitled to custody of the child and authorizing\nsuch person to obtain medical care for the child\nshall contain designated statements with regard to\nadoption.

The bond issue deserves the support of every Californian and\nsome of the reasons are right here before us.\n\"Proposition One, if it is approved by the voters, will permit\nthe State of California to acquire new park sites and beaches for the\nenjoyment of everyone. Two of the park sites and 3½ miles of the\nbeautiful beaches that would be purchased are right here. They are\nLos Trancos and Moro Canyons and this magnificent beach.\n\"The two park sites are natural canyons containing a great\nvariety of flora and fauna. They will be valuable additions to the\nstate park system and will provide a wonderful playground for the\npeople of California. Moro Canyon opens directly onto the beach which\nI think will become one of the state's prime swimming areas.\n\"The beach stretches from Corona del Mar to Laguna Beach, and\nincludes 43 acres of sand and two acres of rock and tide pools.\n\"The canyons and beaches are part of the 10,000 acre undeveloped\ncoastal zone owned by the Irvine Company here in Orange County. If\nProposition One is approved, the state proposes to purchase the two\npark sites and the beach for one-half of the appraised value. At last\nappraisal, the cost to the state would be $7.6 million.

We are\nfinally providing the publicly and privately owned utilities the long\nneeded certainty in planning, by assuring the availability of feasible\nand environmentally acceptable sites for power plants. At the same\ntime, the immediate future of power plant siting is assured by the\n'grandfathering' of those facilities for which planning has gone\nsubstantially forward.\n\"Additionally, the new organization will coordinate and encourage\nresearch and development in the energy field, so that new and more\nbountiful sources can be explored to benefit California. I expect\nthis new endeavor will proceed under the watchful eye of both the\nlegislative and executive branches of government.\n\"Many who have initiated some of the legislative activity in\nthis area have felt a unique funding source was necessary and have\nprovided one in the bill. I personally feel the price tag on this\nbill is too high. The utility surcharge is a tax increase pure and\nsimple, and is not necessary for our primary objectives with the bill.\nHowever, others differ at this point, and we have reached a compromise\non this and the other points of difference in the bill.\n\"All things considered, the legislature has finally provided the\npower plant siting mechanism I have sought for several years.

This\nis just another reason why Proposition 1 deserves the support of all\nCalifornians.\n\"The mansion was built back in 1857. It is an excellent\nexample of Victorian architecture and it served as the official\ngovernor's residence for both Leland Stanford and Governor Frederick\nLow. A lot of California history was made within these walls, in\nfact, right here in this room which was Governor Stanford's office.\n\"Last year the California legislature approved the purchase and\nrestoration of the Stanford home and its grounds. The money would be\nprovided by Proposition 1, and the site would become a state park open\nto the public. I am sure it will become a major attraction along\nwith the magnificent old Capitol, Sutter's Fort, the State Indian\nMuseum, Old Sacramento, and the Governor's Mansion at 16th and H Streets\nhere in Sacramento.\n\"The voters can make this all possible by voting YES on\nProposition 1.\"\n# # #\nWalthall\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California 95814\nClyde Walthall, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n5-30-74\n#319\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today commended the California Hospital\nCommission for reducing the special hospital assessment rate, which\nprovides operating revenues for the commission.\nHospitals throughout the state will be assessed at a reduced rate\nto support activities of the commission for the 1974-75 fiscal year,\nPhyllis R. Smith, of Encino, commission chairman, has announced.\nBy law, the commission is funded by an assessment of not more\nthan .02 of one percent of a hospital's gross operating cost for the\nprevious fiscal year. The assessment rate is being reduced to .01 of\none percent for the coming year because expenditure controls have\nresulted in a surplus in the commission's special fund.\n\"This is an outstanding example of how an agency of government\ncan exist well within its means without becoming a burden on the\ntaxpayers,\" the governor said. \"The commission's ability to meet its\nobligations under the law and still reduce its special fund assessment\nrate is a worthy accomplishment and a true measure of responsible\ngovernment. I congratulate members of the commission and its staff.\"\nThe commission is mandated by the Hospital Disclosure Act of 1971\nto implement a uniform accounting and reporting system for more than\n600 California hospitals (federal facilities are excepted). The\napproved system of accounting and data reporting to establish the basis\nfor public disclosure by hospitals goes into effect on July 1.\n# # #\nWalthall\nOFFICE OF GOVERNOR RONALD REAGAN\nRELEASE: Immediate\nSacramento, California 95814\nClyde Walthall, Press Secretary\n916-445-4571\n5-30-74\n#320\nGovernor Ronald Reagan today announced that he has signed the\nfollowing bills:\nAB 723 - Dunlap\nProvides that \"final compensation\" in the State\nChapter 298\nTeachers' Retirement System means the highest average\nannual salary earned during any three years of\nmembership by a member whose salary is reduced after\nage 58 because of reduction in school funds if the\nmember so elects.
