Furlong Mayor of Vernon City Hall Vernon, California 90058 1971 ~' f077 1 Dear Mayor Furlong: I am directing this letter to you as a follow-up to my earlier letter dated September 2, 1971. The unilateral action of the Board of Supervisors of Los Angeles County on August 3, 1971, granting excessive pay increases to police and fire person- nel, caused our City to substantially increase its tax rate this year, as has been the case in a number of other cities throughout the County. I hold ever stronger to my opinion that this type of activity must cease and, as we indicated in our letter, the only remedy is an amendment to the Charter. The response from my original letter has been very good but I would like to obtain y~r support to present a united front. Several members of the Board of Supervisors agree with this move and a bold drive at this time will stimulate action on the part of the Supervisors to place this amendment on the ballot. Each day, we get closer to the time when we will be again negotiating with safety personnel over salaries, as well as to deadlines for the necessary ballot proposal to amend the Charter. Now that you have had a chance to study this matter for two months, it is my hope and expectation that you will concur with me on this subject and return the signed petition which we previously forwarded to you. For your convenience, I have enclosed another copy with this letter. ~Y-71~ Loren W. Green Mayor LWG:eg , . , ..
