after, annually on August 1 of each succeeding year
at an amount equal to the arithmetic average of the
monthly salaries, paid or approved for payment to
Local Safety members of like or most nearly comparable
positions of the police and fire departments of ten
cities of California with populations of between
100,000 and 250,000 as shown in the latest Annual Re-
port of Financial Transactions of California Cities
published by the state Controller.
(b) The ten cities used for fixing the monthly
salaries shall be those ten cities remaining from an
original and complete list of all California cities
in the 100,000 to 250,000 population range based on
the latest Annual Report of Financial Transactions of
California Cities, published by the State Controller
after representatives of the City and the appropriate
recognized employee organization have alternately
struck the names of cities from the list one at a time
until the names of ten cities remain. The representative
to strike the first name from the list shall be
determined by lot.
(c) In the event one or more of the ten cities
does not have one or more of the comparable position
classifications, ,the monthly salary for the particular
classification shall be computed as the arithmetic
average of the next highest and next lowest comparable
position classification of that city.
v
(d) The salaries paid in step "a" shall be the
same as the arithmetic average of the starting
salaries of the comparable positions in the ten
cities and the salaries paid in step "e" shall be
the same as the average of the top salaries paid in
the comparable positions in the ten cities. The
salaries paid in steps "b", "c" and "d" shall be
fixed at amounts which will cause the Local Safety
members of the San Bernardino Police and Fire Depart-
ments to advance from the starting steps to the
maximum pay steps in approximately equal salary
advances."
It is further proposed that Article X Section 186, Sub-
section THIRD, of the Charter of the City of San Bernardino be
amended to read as follows:
"THIRD: Special Salary provisions
The following special provisions shall apply in
addition to the compensation received in accordance
with the above salary positions:

which he would be entitled, were he promoted to that
rank during the period in which the employee is act-
ing in the higher rank. The Chief of the department
in which the assignment to the higher rank occurs
shall certify as to the assignment and the period of
