REPORTS Law Director Gareau: 1) The NOMBL arbitration has been concluded. Telephone testimony was taken from the president of the union who is currently on leave in Spain. The arbitrator was present for the testimony. 2) The motion for summary judgment in the Fattlar case has been filed in the Court of Appeals. The basis of that motion is that it is improper to file a mandamus action in a situation where the position is already occupied. The appropriate action in that situation would be a quo warranto action. 3) With regard to the long-standing dispute of the individual who was hurt while working at Homecoming, the city has denied liability. (The individual was putting up lights and fell from a city truck that had been loaned to Community Council.) Community Council's insurance company has sued our insurance company claiming that the city is primarily liable--even though Community Council has approximately a $1,000 deductible and the city has a $30,000 deductible. This has been referred to insurance counsel. 4) With regard to the firefighters' collective bargaining agreement, the final step has been reached. A conciliation hearing was held last week. A report and finding should be issued within 30 days.
