below. Grievances/appeals must be processed with Union

rounding the Grievance/Appeal and detailing the specific provi-
sions of this agreement alleged to have been violated, and pres-
ented to the first line supervisor or management representative
immediately in charge of the aggrieved/disciplined employee
within fifteen (15) calendar days after the employee could have
been reasonably expected to have had knowledge. The supervisor
or management representative shall reply to the employee by the
end of the fifteenth (15th) calendar day following the presenta-
tion of the grievance/appeal and the giving of such answer will
terminate Step 1.
F. STEP 2 - If the grievance/appeal is not settled in Step 1,
the grievance/appeal will be presented to the Department Director
(or, in the case of an appeal of a disciplinary action initiated
by a Department Director or where the Department Director par-
ticipated in the decision to administer discipline, to the Per-
sonnel Director) within ten (10) calendar days after termination
of Step 1. Appeals of written reprimands shall be presented to
the Personnel Director. A meeting with the employee, shop stew-
ard and Department Director/Personnel Director (or designee) will
be arranged at a mutually agreeable location and time to review
and discuss the grievance/appeal. Such meeting will take place
within ten (10) calendar days from the date the grievance/appeal
is received by the Department Director/Personnel Director (or
designee). The Department Director/Personnel Director (or desig-
nee) may invite other members of management to be present at such
meeting. The Department Director/Personnel Director (or desig-
nee) will give a written reply by the end of the seventh (7th)
calendar day following the date of the meeting, and the giving of
such reply will terminate Step 2.
G. An appeal of Discipline in the form of a Written Notice shall
not be continued beyond the second step.
H. In the case of an appeal of discipline in the form of a writ-
ten reprimand, if the appeal is not resolved to the satisfaction
of the disciplined employee, the employee may request the matter
be submitted to a mediator who is a member of the State of Cal-
ifornia Mediation Service. Any such request for mediation shall
`..O' be made within 7 calendar days of the conclusion of Step 2 of the
Appeal process. Following mediation, any determination regarding
the written reprimand shall be final and no further appeal shall
be allowed.
I. STEP 3 - If the grievance/appeal is not settled in Step 21 it
shall be submitted to the City Manager. The Union Representative
and City Manager or his designee shall, within seven (7) calendar
days after the termination of Step 2, arrange a meeting to be
held at a mutually agreeable location and time to review and dis-
cuss the grievance/appeal. Such meeting will take place within
ten (10) calendar days from the date the grievance/appeal is re-
ferred to Step 3. A decision shall be rendered within seven (7)
calendar days from the date of such meeting. The decision shall
be in writing. The giving of such reply will terminate Step 3.
J. Time limits as set forth above for each of the steps may be
extended by mutual agreement between the parties but neither par-
ty shall be required to so agree.
K. In the event the Union calls witnesses that must be excused
from work, the City agrees to excuse same in a paid status. The
parties agree that in the event the Union member or the Union
fail to comply with the time limits contained herein, such
failure constitutes a waiver of the right to prosecute the
Iftwo, grievance/appeal; it is further agreed that in the event the City
or its representatives fail to comply with the prescribed time
limits, such failure constitutes an agreement to concur with the
grievant's/appellant's position and remedy.
L. It is not intended that the grievance procedure be used to
effect changes in the established salary and fringe benefits.
ARTICLE 16 - ARBITRATION
A. Grievances/Appeals which are not settled pursuant to the
Grievance/Appeal procedure herein and which either party desires
to contest further, shall be submitted to arbitration as provided
in this Article provided however that said request for Arbitra-
tion shall be made within twenty (20) calendar days of the con-
clusion of Step 3 of the Grievance/Appeal procedure.
B. As soon as possible and in any event not later than fourteen
(14) calendar days after either party received written notice
from the other of the desire to arbitrate, the parties shall
agree upon an arbitrator. If no agreement is reached within said
fourteen (14) calendar days, an arbitrator shall be selected from
a list of seven (7) arbitrators submitted by the Federal Media-
tion and Conciliation Service by alternate striking of names un-
til one name remains. The party who strikes the first name from
the panel shall be determined by lot.
C. Either the City or the Union may call any employee as a wit-
ness, and the City agrees to release said witness from work if he
- 7 -
is on duty. If an employee witness is called by the City, the
City will reimburse him for time lost; if called by the Union,
the Union may pay the expense.
D. The arbitrator shall have no power to alter, amend, change,
add to, or subtract from any of the terms of this Agreement. The
decision of the arbitrator shall be based solely upon the
evidence and arguments presented to him by the respective parties
in the presence of each other.
E. The decision of the arbitrator within the limits herein pre-
scribed shall be final and binding upon the parties to the
dispute.

any dispute shall be the final and binding decision on all
parties and there shall not be any appeal to another board, au-
thority, commission and/or agency for it is the intent of this
Agreement to supplant the Civil Service (Personnel Board) hearing
and appeal system with the provisions of this Article.
G. The arbitrator may hear and determine only one grievance/
appeal at a time without the express agreement of the City and
the Union. The parties shall share equally the expense of the
cost of the arbitration, with the exception of counsel's fees.

ARTICLE 15 - GRIEVANCES/APPEAL OF DISCIPLINE
A. Purpose of Grievance/Appeal Procedures:
1. To promote improved employer-employee relations by es-
tablishing procedures on matters.
2. To provide that grievances/appeals shall be settled as
near as possible to the point of origin.
3. To provide that the grievance/appeal procedures shall be
as informal as possible.
B. A "Grievance" shall be defined as a controversy between the
City and the Union or an employee or employees covered by this
agreement. Such controversy must pertain to any of the
following:
1. Any matter involving the application of any provision of
this agreement; or
2. Any matter involving the violations of any provision or
intent of this agreement; or
3. Any matter that affects the working conditions of the
employee or the application of all rules, regulations,
policies and/or laws affecting the employees covered by
this agreement.
C. An Appeal of Discipline is distinct from a Grievance in that
it is an action taken by an employee to request an administrative
review of disciplinary action initiated against him or her.
D. There shall be an earnest effort on the part of both parties
to settle grievances/appeals promptly through the steps listed
below. Grievances/Appeals must be processed with Union
participation.
E. STEP 1 - An employee's Grievance/Appeal must be submitted in
writing by the employee fully stating the facts surrounding the
Grievance/Appeal and detailing the specific provisions of this
agreement alleged to have been violated, or in the case of an
Appeal of Discipline a written statement outlining the basis of
the appeal, signed and dated by the employee and presented to the
first line supervisor or management representative immediately in
charge of the aggrieved/disciplined employee within fifteen (15)
calendar days after the employee could have been reasonably ex-
pected to have had knowledge. The supervisor or management rep-
resentative shall reply to the employee by the end of the
fifteenth (15th) calendar day following the presentation of the
grievance/appeal and the giving of such answer will terminate
Step 1.
F. STEP 2 - If the grievance/appeal is not settled in Step 11
the grievance/appeal will be presented to the Department Director
(or, in the case of an appeal of a disciplinary action initiated
by a Department Director, or where the Department Director par-
ticipated in the decision to administer discipline, to the Per-
sonnel Director) within ten (10) calendar days after termination
of Step 1. Appeals of written reprimands shall be presented to
the Personnel Director. A meeting with the employee, shop stew-
ard and Department Director/Personnel Director (or designee) will
be arranged at a mutually agreeable location and time to review
and discuss the grievance/appeal. Such meeting will take place
within ten (10) calendar days from the date the grievance/appeal
is received by the Department Director/Personnel Director (or
designee). The Department Director/Personnel Director (or desig-
nee) may invite other members of management to be present at such
meeting. The Department Director/Personnel Director (or desig-
nee) will give a written reply by the end of the seventh (7th)
calendar day following the date of the meeting, and the giving of
such reply will terminate Step 2.
G. An appeal of discipline in the form of a written notice shall
not be continued beyond the second step.
H. In the case of an appeal of discipline in the form of a writ-
ten reprimand, if the appeal is not resolved to the satisfaction
of the disciplined employee, the employee may request the matter
be submitted to a mediator who is a member of the State of Cal-
ifornia Mediation Service. Any such request for mediation shall
be made within 7 calendar days of the conclusion of Step 2 of the
appeal process. Following mediation, any determination regarding
the written reprimand shall be final and no further appeal shall

B. The City shall give such employees not less than two (2)
weeks advance notice of separation and reason therefore.
- 22 -
C. Layoff shall be made within classes of positions and all pro-
visional employees in the affected class or classes shall be laid

tionary employees in the affected class or classes shall be laid
off prior to the layoff of any permanent employee in the affected
class or classes and such layoff shall be by seniority.
D. The criterion used in determining the order of separation
shall be seniority. Seniority is defined as the total time
worked within one's current classification. Wherever seniority

plied in the order below:
1) Total city service
2) Relative position on the certified eligibility list
3) Drawing of lots
E. The seniority date shall be the date of permanent appointment
from a certified Civil Service List. For those employees who

action.
F. Date of hire shall include all City service including CETA
and FEEA time, but not part-time/no benefit service.
G. Seniority shall not include the time which was terminated by
voluntary resignation from the competitive service, layoff, leave
'%..' of absence or suspension from the competitive service but shall

ARTICLE 54 - RETURN TO WORK FROM LAYOFF
A. It is mutually agreed that the names of probationary and per-
manent employees laid off shall be placed upon an eligibility
list for classes which, in the opinion of the City Manager, re-
quire essentially the same qualifications and duties and respon-
sibilities as those of the class of position from which the
layoff was made.
B. Names of persons laid off shall be placed at the top of
eligibility lists in order of their seniority and shall remain on
such lists for a period of two years unless re-employed by the
- 23 -
City. The result being, by classification, the last employee
laid off shall be the first rehired.
Ift.01 C. In the event that an employee on a rehire list is offered a
position in the classification from which they were laid off and
does not accept said position, then their name shall be removed
from all re-employment lists. Acceptance of temporary employment
does not affect eligibility on permanent re-employment list.
D. In the event that an employee on a rehire list is offered a
position in a lower classification from which he/she was laid off
and does not accept said position, his/her name shall be removed
from the lower classification rehire list but will remain on the
higher classification list.
E. Employees hired from the re-employment list into a clas-
sification lower than the classification in which they were laid
off shall have their names maintained on the re-employment list
for the higher classification until said re-employment list
expires.
F. Notices of recall from layoffs shall be by return -receipt -
requested mail and shall specify the date for reporting to work
which shall not be more than two (2) weeks from the date the
notice is received. Notice shall be deemed to have been received
when sent to the last known address on file with the City and
delivery or attempted delivery is certified by postal service.
Notice of recall will also be forwarded to the recognized bar-
gaining agent. Employees to be laid off shall submit to the Per-
sonnel office their current address at the time of separation.
Upon receiving notice, the person on layoff shall have five (5)
days to accept or decline the recall opportunity.
G. Any employee failing to respond in writing within five (5)
days of recall, or failing to report on the prescribed date
within the two (2) week maximum, waives all remaining rights to
recall on all re-employment lists. The City will proceed to the
next senior person until recall needs are met or the list(s) is
exhausted.
H. Upon recall from lay-off, all accruals will be based on
criteria set forth in Article 56 Layoff, paragraphs D, E and F.
ARTICLE 55 - REDUCTION IN LIEU OF LAYOFF
A. It is mutually agreed that an employee whose position is
abolished shall be permitted to drop back into the next lower
classification within his/her department and continue in service
provided he/she is qualified to perform the duties of the lower
classification. The layoff, if any, shall be made in the lowest
grade in the department of the employee having the least
seniority.
B. In the case of reduction of any employee in the City Service
to a class with a lower pay range such employee's salary shall be
- 24 -
reduced to a pay step in the lower range corresponding to less
than one step in dollar amount below that which he held in the
higher class before such reduction.
C. For purposes of future step advancement, accrued time in the
higher classification step shall be retained.
ARTICLE 56 - MILITARY LEAVE PAY
New Employees shall not receive a salary from the City while on
military leave. Any current employee who has utilized military

11 1986, shall be eligible to receive his/her salary from the
City while on military leave in accordance with past practice.
ARTICLE 57 - JURY DUTY
A. The City will not provide jury duty leave pay to employees.
If the State or Federal Court jury commissioners change, amend,
alter, or otherwise rescind their present policy of granting ex-
emptions from jury service to persons who do not receive jury
duty pay from their employer, so as to require jury service
despite the absence of jury duty pay from such employer, then the
City's practice of paying the City's full salary if jury pay is
returned to the City shall be reinstated effective immediately
upon the first implementation of such changed exemption policy
with respect to all personnel in classifications in this bargain-
ing unit. The City and Union agree that jury duty pay shall be
the same rate as the employee's salary. Employees are not pro-
hibited from using paid vacation or compensatory time in order to
participate in jury duty.
ARTICLE 58 - SELECTION OF INDUSTRIAL ACCIDENT DOCTOR OR MEDICAL
FACILITY AND CONTINUATION OF HEALTH BENEFITS
A. It is understood that the City will provide medical facili-
ties to be used for industrial accidents or illness. However, in
the event the union members covered by this MOU wish to grieve
the City's selection, the City will give due consideration to the
facts presented and may select a new facility.
B. Effective September 1, 1988 an employee who suffers an inju-
ry -on -duty on or after that date will continue to have payment of
the City's portion of all Health Insurance premiums paid for a
period of seven (7) months commencing with the month in which the
injury occurred.
C. Nothing herein shall prevent an employee from utilizing their
accrued time in lieu of receiving temporary disability payments
under the provisions of the Workers' Compensation laws of the
State of California.
- 25 -

to settle grievances/appeals promptly through the steps listed
below. Grievances must be processed with Union participation.
E. STEP 1 - An employee's Grievance/Appeal must be submitted in
writing by the employee fully stating the facts surrounding the
Grievance/Appeal and detailing the specific provisions of this
agreement alleged to have been violated, or in the case of an
appeal of discipline a written statement outlining the basis of
the appeal, signed and dated by the employee and presented to the
first line supervisor or management representative immediately in
charge of the aggrieved/disciplined employee within fifteen (15)
calendar days after the employee could have been reasonably ex-
pected to have had knowledge. The supervisor or management rep-
resentative shall reply to the employee by the end of the
fifteenth (15th) calendar day following the presentation of the
grievance/appeal and the giving of such answer will terminate
Step 1.
F. STEP 2 - If the grievance/appeal is not settled in Step 1,
the grievance/appeal will be presented to the Department Director
(or, in the case of an appeal of a disciplinary action initiated
by a Department Director or where the Department Director par-
ticipated in the decision to administer discipline, to the Per-
sonnel Director) within ten (10) calendar days after termination
of Step 1. Appeals of written reprimands shall be presented to
the Personnel Director. A meeting with the employee, shop stew-
ard and Department Director/Personnel Director (or designee) will
be arranged at a mutually agreeable location and time to review
and discuss the grievance/appeal. Such meeting will take place
within ten (10) calendar days from the date the grievance/appeal
is received by the Department Director/Personnel Director (or
designee). The Department Director/Personnel Director (or desig-
nee) may invite other members of management to be present at such
meeting. The Department Director (or designee) will give a writ-
ten reply by the end of the seventh (7th) calendar day following
the date of the meeting, and the giving of such reply will termi-
nate Step 2.
G. An appeal of discipline in the form of a written notice shall
not be continued beyond the second step.
*w1p, H. In the case of an appeal of discipline in the form of a writ-
ten reprimand, if the appeal is not resolved to the satisfaction
of the disciplined employee, the employee may request the matter
be submitted to a mediator who is a member of the State of Cal-
ifornia Mediation Service. Any such request for mediation shall
be made within 7 calendar days of the conclusion of Step 2 of the
appeal process. Following mediation, any determination regarding
the written reprimand shall be final and no further appeal shall
be allowed.
I. STEP 3 - If the grievance/appeal is not settled in Step 2, it
shall be submitted to the City Manager. The Union Representative
and the City Manager or his designee shall, within seven (7) cal-
endar days after the termination of Step 2, arrange a meeting to
be held at a mutually agreeable location and time to review and
discuss the grievance/appeal. Such meeting will take place
within ten (10) calendar days from the date the grievance/appeal
is referred to Step 3. A decision shall be rendered within seven
(7) calendar days from the date of such meeting. The decision
shall be in writing. The giving of such reply shall terminate
Step 3.
J. Time limits as set forth above for each of the steps may be
extended by mutual agreement between the parties but neither par-
ty shall be required to so agree.
`'WIV K. In the event the Union calls witnesses that must be excused
from work, the City agrees to excuse same in a paid status. The
parties agree that in the event the Union member or the Union
- 7 -
fail to comply with the time limits contained herein, such
failure constitutes a waiver of the right to prosecute the
`wx� grievance/appeal. It is further agreed that in the event the City
or its representatives fail to comply with the prescribed time
limits, such failure constitutes an agreement to concur with the
grievant's/appellant's position and remedy.
L. It is not intended that the grievance procedure be used to
effect changes in the established salary and fringe benefits.
ARTICLE 16 - ARBITRATION
A. Grievances/Appeals which are not settled pursuant to the
Grievance/Appeal procedure herein and which either party desires
to contest further, shall be submitted to arbitration as provided
in this Article provided however that said request for Arbitra-
tion shall be made within twenty (20) calendar days of the con-
clusion of Step 3 of the Grievance/Appeal procedure.
B. As soon as possible and in any event not later than fourteen
(14) calendar days after either party received written notice
from the other of the desire to arbitrate, the parties shall
agree upon an arbitrator. If no agreement is reached within said
fourteen (14) calendar days, an arbitrator shall be selected from
a list of seven (7) arbitrators submitted by the Federal Media-
tion and Conciliation Service by alternate striking of names un -
*460;11 til one name remains. The party who strikes the first name from
the panel shall be determined by lot.
C. Either the City or the Union may call any employee as a wit-
ness. The Employer agrees to release said witness from work if he
is on duty. If an employee witness is called by the City, the
City will reimburse him for time lost; if called by the Union,
the Union may pay the expense.
D. The arbitrator shall have no power to alter, amend, change,
add to, or subtract from any of the terms of this Agreement. The
decision of the arbitrator shall be based solely upon the
evidence and arguments presented to him by the respective parties
in the presence of each other.
E. The decision of the arbitrator within the limits herein pre-
scribed shall be final and binding upon the parties to the
dispute.
F. The mutual decision of the parties and/or the arbitrator in
any dispute shall be the final and binding decision on all
parties and there shall not be any appeal to another board, au-
thority, commission and/or agency for it is the intent of this
Agreement to supplant the Civil Service (Personnel Board) hearing
and appeal system with the provisions of this Article.
- 8 -
G. The arbitrator may hear and determine only one grievance/
appeal at a time without the express agreement of the City and
the Union. The parties shall share equally the expense of the
cost of the arbitration, with the exception of counsel's fees.

membership as of July 1, 1978, and employees who thereafter be-
come members shall remain as members in good standing of the
