In other business, the council revised Mayor Rocky Anderson's controversial proposal on the city's take-home vehicle policy - and the police union is just as riled with the council's plan as they were with the mayor's. "Horrible, stinks," is how Salt Lake Police Association President Lee Dobrowolski described it Tuesday night. He plans to speak with union attorneys and could sue, claiming the city is refusing to negotiate with officers. The city maintains the take-home patrol cars, while long used by officers for their personal use, are not subject to contract negotiations. Today, 446 city employees - 413 police officers - are able to take home their city vehicles if they live 35 miles or less from the city. They can have unrestricted use while in Salt Lake County. The council has tentatively decided to keep the 35-mile restriction - Anderson would have changed it to 25 miles - and will allow officers who are city residents unrestricted use. Those who live outside the city could use them on their personal time only within the city. Anderson wanted to ban personal use to save money and to conserve fuel. The major sticking point for the union is how much officers will have to reimburse the city for taking home the vehicles. Currently, officers living 35 miles from the city pay $35 a paycheck. The council bumped it to $82 (Anderson's increased it to $65) while reducing the reimbursement for those living closer to the city. But Dobrowolski said officers wanted to share the reimbursement costs. Some may decide not to take the cars home, he said. - Heather May
