Audience Partici ation Jay Power, Presi ent of the North Olmsted Firefighters, Local 1267, wanted to correct two items pertaining to negotiations that had appeared in a local news- paper. First, the article stated that the North Olmsted Firefighters were unhappy. Mr. Power disputes this claim; the firefighters are happy aril are patiently awaiting their new fire station. Second, the article also stated that the firefighters had not wanted to reopen negotiations when asked to do so by the City. Mr.-Power said this was a blatant lie; when the City asked to reopen negotiations, the firefighters complied by setting dates, meeting, and negotiating in good faith. With regard to the issue of hospitalization, Mr. Power said that approximately a year and a half ago the City took the direction of taking most employees out of a "Chevrolet-type" coverage and into a "Cadillac-type" coverage. Now that this new coverage has increased in price, the City is asking the employees to contribute. The firefighters understand that health care costs are rising and have no objection to sharing costs; indeed, they are looking at new proposals to deal with this matter.
