portion of a management or employee organization position or proposal on economic
or noneconomic items that has been presented by either party during the collective
bargaining process with the Amalgamated Transit Union, as the exclusive representative
of a portion of the council's employees, as nonpublic data under section 13.02, subdivision
9. The collective bargaining process includes, without limitation, any mediation that
occurs during the process. The Amalgamated Transit Union constitutes the subject of the
data for the purposes of the definition of nonpublic data. The council may only make
such a classification with the written concurrence of the union. The council may, at its
sole discretion, withdraw the classification at any time and nothing in this section must
be construed to limit or control release of the described data by the union. Any data
classified as nonpublic under this section becomes public after the contract resulting from
the collective bargaining process is executed by both parties.
