Tonight is the first Coffeyville City Commission meeting since a resolution was reached on the grievance filed by the International Association of Firefighters Local #265. City Manager Mark Hall says the city will continue to pay the 16-year payroll procedure.

Hall says the city explained, on multiple occasions, that personnel can input their regular duty hours and any additional straight-time pay for hours worked on any approved Haz-Mat responses. He says this isn't a win, or even a loss, to the IAFF, or the city.

Hall says the city has not only the right but also the responsibility to maintain the process for accounting of payroll, regardless of what the IAFF believes. The full response from Hall can be heard here and read here. Tonight's meeting is at 6:30pm at City Hall.
