Mr. Howard Porty, Assistant Supt^ of Schools, speaking in behalf of Supt. Blueglass, stated that a safety hazard exists for the children attending schools. He stated that the unloading of cars blocks the view of buses coming out of the school entrance north bound. He stated that children do not always cross at Depeyster Street and drivers do not see the children, and urged that the Board not allow unloading in front of the school. He stated that it was unsafe for children. Mr. James Downey, North Broadway, stated that he lives across the street from the unloading site. He stated that .the drivers unload at 7 A.M. and make an excessive amount of noise. Mr. Frandsen stated that some time ago, the Board allowed him permission to have his cars unloaded in front of his showroom and would not like to lose this privilege. He stated that it would be unfair for them to go up that far. He stated that they have been unloading on the sidewalk, but the police feel that they are blocking traffic. �-2Trustee DiFelice stated that if he blocks the sidewalk, he will have to unload in the designated area, otherwise, the driver will be ticketed.

Trustee Lobato stated that recently we had a situation whereby the CSEA made a charge of unfair labor practices against the Village for discussing with the foremen the possibility of them having individual contracts with the Village. As a result, we apologized for meeting with the foremen. During our subsequent investigation, we discovered that the job titles which were used to stipulate the negotiating unit were those taken from the payrolls, said Trustee Lobato. Those payrolls incorrectly showed the foremen as assistant foremen. During several past meetings of the Board, resolutions were adopted appointing the assistant foremen either working foreman or water and sewer foreman. The labor relations committee was not in error in meeting with the foremen since they were not in the stipulated negotiating unit.
