The health insurance award: Mr. Daley awarded the city position of $134.34 per employee per month. The budgeted amount was $145.00 per month per employee for 1984. It is to be noted that the police are now to be aolueted with other city employees. 2. Uniform Allowance: The city position was awarded.

The city will save money and have offl cars as well or better dressed then previously. 3. wages: The officers wages are not to be equated with the arrow group of titles selected by the union, which are the cities around the Lake, but all of Stanton Group 6. Nor is Orono ordered to compete at the top of the group six cities, 1t is ranked 11. The compromise award of $2309 which in 4.72% 1s close to the budgeted amount for 1984 of 5%. 4. vacation: The award continues to the already city established practice of non -interne: comparisons with other Orono city employees.
