Councilman Nagel reported that the Quiet Cities Committee of the League of California Cities had presented recommendations to the League and the following had been accepted as League policy for 1971: a) Encourage regulation of state and national consumer laws limiting product noise from such things as lawn mowers, air conditioning units, etc. b) Work with State Department of Aeronautics to help in developing the airport noise standards which are pending in the Legislature this year and to join with other state agencies in urging the Department of Trans - portation to retrofit existing airplanes. -2- X 3013 c) Work with the Building Officials Department to propose alternative building standards that could be adopted by cities with their own noise programs and noise standards. d) Ask the State to review all its major construction programs and make necessary impact studies, especially where they go through urban areas. 3. Councilman Nagel reported that Senate Bill No. 333 provides for compulsory and binding arbitration of wages, hours and other conditions of em- ployment for policemen and firemen, provides for new employer relations pro- cedures applying solely to policemen and firemen and removes them from provisions of the Myers - Milias -Brown Act. It provides entirely new labor relations procedures for policemen and firemen and has eliminated many of the employee protection provisions of the Myers -Milias -Brown Act while guaranteeing superior bargaining advantages to employee representatives. The League Staff and Board of Directors has been opposed to compulsory and binding arbitration of all salary and fringe benefits and other terms and conditions of employment. The League Board of Directors adopted a policy for 1971 that the term 'wage supple - ments" should be substituted for "fringe benefits" because these wage supplements now amount to 29% to 45% of the total salaries.
