(A) The city will make available to certified employee organizations nonconfidential information pertaining to employer employee relations as is contained in the public records of the city. The information shall be made available during regular office hours in accordance with applicable city rules and regulations. Information which shall be made available to certified employee organizations includes regularly published date covering subjects under discussion. Data collected on a promise to keep its source confidential may be made available in statistical summaries but shall not be made available in form as to disclose the source.
(B) Nothing in this chapter shall be construed as to require disclosure of records that are:
(1) Records pertaining to pending litigation to which the city is a party, or to claims or appeals which have not been settled;
(2) Personnel, medical or similar files, the disclosure of which would constitute an unwarranted invasion of personal privacy; and
(3) Working papers or memoranda which are not retained in the ordinary course of business or any records where the public interest served by not making the record available clearly outweighs the public interest served by disclosure of the record.
(C) To facilitate meaningful consultations, the city representative and employee representatives may agree to use certain common sources of information, such as salary surveys of private and public employers. Mutually agreed upon data collected by either party shall be made available to the other. All data used shall conform to the salary policy and other similar policies adopted by the City Council.
