many of the reason for this resolution were provided by citizen comments from the last Council meeting. Mr. Crow asked his colleagues if the suspensions issued by the City Manager reflect the seriousness of the grievances alleged. Mr. Sharpe moved to postpone indefinitely Resolution 2014 - 10, seconded by Mr. Glickert. Mr. Kraft said he did have some questions about the severity of the punishment but as his colleagues pointed out there is a judicial process. The firefighters have availed themselves of this process with the Civil Service Commission. He noted it would be improper for Council to interfere with the ongoing judicial process and therefore he support postponing this resolution. Mr. Crow noted that all will see the delay tactics moving forward through-out the evening. He noted that there were members sitting on Council that have said they would like to do something but do not have the votes necessary. He said postponing indefinitely is not about a judicial process but rather to drag it out as long as they can so it will become moot. Ms. Carr noted that a motion to postpone indefinitely would kill the resolution. She said it is a no vote without taking a vote so that some can say they did not want to do it. This motion will stretch out and three months will have gone by and maybe some will be back to work or find another position that pays more. Ms. Carr said that everyone who votes to postpone indefinitely is voting no. She said this resolution only says the Council does not approve of the decision that was made. Ms. Carr stated that these are no votes and did not want citizens to think she voted against them. She noted that she supports a fully-staffed fire department and freedom of speech. Mr. Price stated his concern was when there are five to six people out of the system, costing for overtime to cover the positions that were suspended will take away from other City services. He asked what the cost was for covering vacant positions and how it affects budgetary process moving forward. City Manager Lehman Walker said the information was not readily available but would provide it to Council. Mayor Welsch noted to Council that every member has two turns to speak. Mr. Kraft called a point of order noting no one speaks on a motion to postpone. Mr. Crow stated Council can appeal the rule to let the residents speak. He said because you guy do not have the courage to take the vote and a parliamentary game was being played. Mayor Welsch asked that all residents speak on all five resolutions at once. Mr. Glickert asked to verify that all the resolutions are enveloped into one for speakers to speak on. CITIZEN COMMENTS Gerjuanda Cochren, 6531 Bartmer Ms. Cochren also spoke for her mother and father. She said her firefighters have saved her house from burning down. They cut her out of a truck at Canton and Hanley. They carried her disabled mother and father down steps when they needed to leave the building. She was present because she believed the firefighters do a wonderful job. Ms. Cochren said she did not want the firefighters to fear losing their job when a photo is taken of them with her child. She thanked all the firefighters. Lisa Hummel, 7575 Stanford Ave. Ms. Hummel state that the six people, who put their lives on line for the City and denied a paycheck because they dared to express an opinion. She said the law governs what the city may not do, not what the firefighters may not do. Ms. Hummel said Mr. Walker’s action is vindictive political retribution and nothing to do with any law. 9
