As the City prepares for collective bargaining, I recommend that the Executive Committee establish a subcommittee to provide direction to the City's bargaining teams. Establishing a subcommittee will allow direction and mandates to be provided quickly, and for City officials to be able to provide updates and receive further direction as the bargaining process requires.
