Page 4
created by Council, or for employees of the Board of Water Commissioners the

(i) The interests and welfare of the public and the financial ability of the City to bear
the costs involved or with regard to bargaining units of the Board of Water
Commissioners, the criteria set forth in Section 10.1.9 of this Charter;

conditions of employees in the bargaining unit with other public employees with
substantially similar job duties in comparable communities nationally and locally.

expressed as a relationship to the terms and conditions of employees who are not
members of the bargaining unit;
(iii) The cost of living; and
(iv) The constitutional, Charter, and statutory obligations of the City and its
departments, agencies, and officers.
The award of the arbitrator on each issue shall be the final offer of the Corporate

Board of Water Commissioners, by means of a strike, walkout, sitdown, slowdown,
