The proposal requesting an extension of the sick leave policy to cover heart attacks, strokes and respiratory diseases, which was the original mandate, was an unacceptable liability to the city.
Penner said, "Don't you think a comment like that is a little bit tac??"
Burt said he did not think and declined to change the policy because he said the current case-by-case evaluation of whether the injury was work-related was sufficient.
"THE CITY can't assume an additional liability such as this," he said.
In discussion of the 75-cent-an-hour salary increase, Burt requested a specific percentage increase. He said the city would not approve the firefighters' proposal as it stood because the city could not control it over a period of years.

Penner said he would not be winning to make a percentage proposal because he said the city had ignored a request for a mayor to hire an administrator on a Kansas City Consumer Price Index.
Firefighters last year requested a 16 percent increase, which was the cost-of-living
He said the index was compiled by a nonpartisan source—the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics—but had been rejected by the city.
BURT DECLINED to comment, but reiterated a request for a percentage in return.
Burt said he would not negotiate a change in the enforcement of the minimum manning policy and called it "an inappropriate subject."

"I don't have any control over this," he said.
He said the issue would have to be taken to the fire department chiefs.
Penner said there were frequently fewer men on duty than the policy demanded. But those on duty went to fires and took risks. A recent study found that a quarter of their concern for others' safety, he said.
Penner said he wanted the city to become involved because the chiefs had not endured him.
"We see this minimum manning policy as a safety factor and should be discussed that way."
Burt did not answer and discussion moved to the salary discussion.
Other members of Penner's five-man negotiating team said that about 20 percent of the meetings concerned union activities and the remainder of the speeches were on job problems, hazards and safety warnings, which they said helped them in their work.
EARLIER, IN the discussion of the proposal to send as many as five men annually to two union conventions, Burt asked for an agenda of convention speech topics.
