(a) The rights, benefits, and other employee protective conditions and remedies of Section 13(c) of the Urban Mass Transportation Act of 1964, as amended (49 U.S.C. § 1609(c)), as determined by the Secretary of Labor, shall apply to the operation by the authority of any public transportation service and to any contract or other arrangement for the operation of such service. If the authority acquires an existing transit system, the authority shall assume and observe all existing labor contracts and pension obligations. All employees of such system, except executive and administrative officers, shall be transferred to and appointed as employees of the authority, subject to all rights and benefits of this section. These employees shall be given seniority credit and sick leave, vacation, insurance, and pension credits in accordance with the records or labor agreements from the acquired transit system. The authority shall assume the obligations of any transit system acquired by it with regard to wages, salaries, hours, working conditions, sick leave, health and welfare, and pension or retirement provisions for employees. The authority and the employees, through their representatives for collective bargaining purposes, shall take whatever action may be necessary to have pension trust funds, presently under the joint control of the acquired transit system and the participating employees through their representatives, transferred to a trust fund to be established, maintained, and administered jointly by the authority and the participating employees through their representatives. No employee of any acquired transit system who is transferred to a position with the authority shall, by reason of such transfer be placed in any worse position with respect to Workers’ Compensation, unemployment compensation, pension, seniority, wages, sick leave, vacation, health and welfare insurance, or any other benefits than he or she enjoyed as an employee of such acquired transportation system.

(b) Prior to commencing to operate any public transportation service, or entering into any contractual or other arrangement for the operation of such service, the authority shall take such action as may be necessary to extend to the employees of the transit system, in accordance with seniority, the first opportunity for reasonable comparable employment in any new jobs in respect to such operations for which they can qualify after a reasonable training period. The wages, hours, and working conditions for employees assigned to such new operations shall be a proper subject of negotiation with the labor organizations representing the employees of the transit system. Whenever any labor dispute arises in the operation of any public transportation service operated by or for the authority, and collective bargaining does not result in an agreement, the authority shall offer to submit such dispute to final and binding arbitration by a board composed of three persons, one appointed by the authority, one appointed by the representative of the employees, and a third member, who shall serve as chair, to be selected from a current listing of the membership of the National Academy of Arbitrators by agreement of the parties, or in the absence of such agreement, by obtaining a listing of seven such members of the national academy from the American Arbitration Association and by alternately striking a name from the list so supplied until only one name remains. The representatives of the employees and the authority shall determine by lot who shall first strike from the list. The decision of a majority of the arbitration board shall be final and binding upon the parties thereto. The expenses of arbitration shall be borne equally by the parties. Each party shall bear his or her own cost.

(c) Notwithstanding any other provisions of law, the authority shall make deductions from wages and salaries of its employees upon receipt of authorization therefor for the payment of union dues, fees, or assessments, for the payment of contributions pursuant to any health and welfare plan or pension plan, or for any other purpose for which deductions may be authorized by employees of any private employer, where such deductions are pursuant to a collective bargaining agreement entered into or assumed by the authority.

(a) Except as hereinafter provided, vacancies in positions in the classified service shall be filled by the appointing authority by the appointment of a person whose name is certified, within 30 days of certification. Certification shall be made upon request of the appointing authority therefor whenever a vacancy exists, and the appointing authority, in his or her discretion, determines that such vacancy shall be filled, and the name of an applicant for such vacancy is eligible for certification. Vacancies may be filled by promotion as follows: Selection by the department head from classified employees in the department or selection of the classified employee making the highest grade on a test given by the personnel board upon request of the department head or appointing authority. Vacancies not filled by promotion shall be filled from the eligibility list established by the personnel board for original employment. Upon request of the appointing authority, the personnel board shall certify to the appointing authority five names which rank highest on the employment eligibility list for the employee classification desired. Certification of the five highest ranked names on the employment list shall be made by the personnel board to the appointing authority, who shall make a final selection of the person to be appointed to fill such vacancy. If after making a reasonable effort, it should prove impossible for the appointing authority to locate any of the persons so certified or should it become known to the board that any person so certified is not willing to accept the position, the appointing authority may request that additional names be certified until the appointing authority has available to him or her a list from which to make the appointment containing the aforesaid authorized number of persons, all of whom are available for such appointment and willing to accept the position. In the event that the list certified to the appointing authority contains fewer than the authorized number of available and willing persons as aforesaid from which to make a selection, the appointing authority, in his or her discretion, may choose from the remaining certified names, make a temporary appointment, or make no appointment. In the event that there does not exist an employment list which the board deems to be appropriate from which to fill the vacancy, the board shall prepare a list within the reasonable time after receipt of the request of the appointing authority that eligibility be certified. Provided, however, nothing herein contained shall be construed as preventing an appointing authority, in his or her discretion, from withdrawing his or her request for the aforesaid certification, either before or after such certification has been made in response to his or her request therefor. Whenever a person has been certified to and rejected by an appointing authority three times, the board may remove the name of such person from the eligible list on which his or her name appeared. A person shall be deemed to have been so rejected by an appointing authority when a vacancy is filled from an eligible list on which his or her name appeared and such person was not selected to fill the vacancy.

The president of the council, when present, shall preside at all meetings of the council. A majority of the council members elected shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of any and every power conferred upon the council, and the affirmative vote of a majority of those members present, shall be sufficient for the passage of any resolution, bylaw, or ordinance, or the transaction of any business of any sort by the council or the exercise of any of the powers conferred upon it by the terms of this part or by law, or which may hereafter be conferred upon it. No resolution, bylaw, or ordinance granting any franchise, appropriating any money for any purpose, providing for any public improvements, any regulation concerning the public health, or of any other general or permanent nature, except the proclamation of quarantine, shall be enacted except at a regular public meeting of the council or any adjournment thereof. Every ordinance introduced at any and every such meeting shall be in writing and read before any vote thereon shall be taken, and the yeas and nays thereon shall be recorded; provided that if the vote of all councilmen present be unanimous, it may be so stated in the journal without recording the yeas and nays. A record of the proceedings of every meeting of the council shall be kept, and every resolution or ordinance passed by the council must be recorded and the record of the proceedings of the meeting, when approved by the council, shall be signed by the president of the council and the city clerk. Such record shall be kept available for inspection by all citizens of such city at all reasonable times. No ordinance of permanent operation shall be passed at the meeting at which it was introduced except by unanimous consent of all members of the council present, and such unanimous consent shall be shown by the yea and nay votes entered upon the minutes of the meeting; provided, however, that if all members of the council present vote for the passage of the ordinance and their names are so entered of record as voting in favor thereof, it shall be construed as giving unanimous consent to the action upon such ordinance at the meeting at which it is introduced. Publication of ordinances shall be governed by Section 11-45-8.

Delivery to the office of the mayor shall constitute delivery to the mayor. An ordinance or resolution may be recalled from the mayor at any time before it has become a law, or has been acted on by him or her, by a resolution adopted by a majority of the members elected to the council, in regular or special session. If the mayor shall disapprove of any ordinance or resolution transmitted to him or her as aforesaid, he or she shall within 10 days of the time of its passage by the council, return the same to the clerk with his or her objections in writing and the clerk shall make report thereof to the next regular meeting of the city council; and if a majority of the council members present shall at that meeting adhere to the ordinance or resolution, notwithstanding the objections, the vote being taken by yeas or nays and spread upon the minutes, then, and not otherwise, the ordinance or resolution shall after publication thereof, if publication is required, have the force of law. If publication of the ordinance or resolution is not required, it shall take effect upon its passage over objections. The failure of the mayor to return to the city clerk an ordinance or resolution with his or her veto within 10 days after its passage by the council shall operate and have the same effect as approval of the same, and the city clerk, if publication is required, shall publish the same as is herein provided for the publication of laws and ordinances of the city. And if no publication is required, the ordinance or resolution shall become effective upon the expiration of 10 days. Anything in this section to the contrary notwithstanding, the mayor shall not have the power of veto over appointments of the council, or over any action of the council relating to an investigation as provided for in Section 45-51A-33.242.

Provided, however, effective October 1, 1990, and each year thereafter, all property owners owning up to 50 acres of land who are exempt from the payment of state taxes because of age or a handicap are hereby exempt from the payment of the financial charge or tax provided in this section.

Procedures for such public hearing shall be the same as those in subsection (c).
