RESOLUTION RE: POLICE PAY REFERENDUM
WHEREAS, the proposed charter amendment attempts to remove from the City

delegate such authority and responsibility to elected officials in Arlington,
Dallas, Garland and Irving, with total disregard to Fort Worth's economic
condition and its taxpayers; and

inequity i n salaries and other economic benefits between non -uniformed employees
of the Police Department and employees of the same classification in other City
departments; and -
WHEREAS, the proposed amendment, if passed, would erode the financial
responsibility of the City Council and City Government for other employee groups
who may wish to be paid in the same manner in the future (ie Fireman/etc).
WHEREAS, we believe Fort Worth Police Officers are due a raise under the
guideline of the present system.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Fort Worth Metropolitan Black
Chamber of Commerce opposes the passage of the proposed amendment to the City
Charter; and
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Fort Worth Metropolitan Black Chamber of
Commerce urges the citizens of Fort Worth to ;vote against this fiscally
