supervisor's answer in Step One.
4 . 4 Step Three: If a grievance is not resolved in the second

by mutual agreement of the City and Union. In the event that the City
and Union are unable to agree on the selection of an arbitrator they
shall request the State of California Mediation and Conciliation
Service to nominate five (5) persons for arbitrator. The City and the

parties for their review and the opportunity to submit additional
information prior to the arbitrator' s decision becoming final and
binding on the parties. Any additional information submitted by either
party shall be submitted to the arbitrator and the other party.

on City and Union and the aggrieved employee, if any, provided that
such decision does not in any way add to, disregard or modify any of
the provisions of this Memorandum of Understanding.

limits as set forth in Section 4 . 2, 4 . 3 , 4.4, 4 . 5, 4 . 6, or 4 .7 (a) will
result in forfeiture. Failure by the City to meet any of the afore-
mentioned time limits as set forth in Sections 4. 2 , 4 . 3 , 4 . 4 , 4 . 5, or
4 . 6 will allow the Union to go forward with the grievance to the next
step of the established procedures. Except, however, that the
aforementioned time limits may be extended by mutual agreement.
Grievances settled by forfeiture shall not bind either party to an
interpretation of this Memorandum of Understanding, nor shall such
settlements be cited by either party as evidence in the settlement of
subsequent grievances.
4 .9 Notwithstanding the aforementioned procedure, any individual
employee shall have the right to present grievances to the City and to
have such grievance adjusted without the intervention of Union,
provided that the adjustment shall not be inconsistent with this
Memorandum of Understanding and provided, further, that Union's
Business Representative shall be given an opportunity to be present at
such adjustment. Grievances settled by individual employees without
representation by Union officials shall not bind either party to an
interpretation of this Memorandum of Understanding.

Disability and Unemployment
6. 1 (a) Supplemental Benefits for Industrial Injury: Whenever any
regular employee who is a member of the Public Employees' Retirement
System is disabled, whether temporarily or permanently, by injury or
illness arising out of and in the course of the employee 's duties,
which comes within the application of the Workers ' Compensation and
Insurance Chapters of the State Labor Code, the employee shall become
entitled, regardless of the employee's period of service with the City
to compensation at the rate of eighty-five percent (85%) of the
employee's regular salary, in lieu of temporary disability payments, if
any, which would be payable under the State Labor Code, for the period
of such disability but not exceeding six (6) months, or until such
earlier date as the employee is retired on permanent disability
pension. At the conclusion of six (6) months of receipt of supple-
mental benefits at the rate of eighty-five percent (85%) of regular
salary, any regular employee who is still unable to return to work and
is still receiving temporary disability indemnity payments shall become
entitled to receive supplemental benefits at the rate of seventy
percent (70%) of the employee's regular salary for the period of such
disability but not exceeding six (6) months or until such earlier date
as the employee is retired on permanent disability pension through the
Public Employees' Retirement System. In consideration of this benefit,
the regular employee shall pay over to the City any temporary or
permanent disability compensation received, whether from Workers'
Compensation, employee group insurance benefits or unemployment
compensation benefits provided for under State law, and shall
affirmatively assist the City in obtaining any such benefits to which
the employee may be entitled but has not yet received arising out of
such disability, but such payment from the employee to the City from
6
i
employee becomes eligible, but shall not be given preferential con-
sideration for promotion or transfer or be eligible for a leave of
absence. Upon completion of six (6) months of continuous full-time
service with City, a probationary employee shall be given the status of
a regular employee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Article, an employee's probationary period shall be extended by the
duration of an unpaid absence of ten 10 or more consecutive work
Y P ( )
days.
7 .4 A full-time temporary employee is defined as an employee
hired for occasional or seasonal work for a period not to exceed s
(6) ffient one thousand (1000) hours in a fiscal year. A full-time
temporary employee shall receive not less than the minimum rate for the
job but shall not be eligible for sick leave pay, holiday pay, vacation
pay, insurance coverage, retirement plan participation or items of a
similar nature, nor shall the employee accrue seniority, or promotion
and transfer rights, or leave of absence rights. If a full-time
temporary employee is reclassified to probationary status the employee
shall be credited with all continuous service in determining
eligibility for such benefits as may accrue to the employee in the
employee' s new status.
ARTICLE 8
Wages and Classifications
8 . 1 Employees hired prior to October 28, 1990 shall be paid the
wage established for their classification. Employees hired on or
after October 28, 1990 shall be paid a wage rate based upon their work
performance. Upon initial appointment to a classification an employee
shall normally be paid the lowest wage rate for that classification.
An employee may, however, be paid a wage rate above the lowest wage
rate if circumstances justify it. When an employee is appointed to a
classification which has a wage range overlapping the wage range of the
employee's previous classification, the employee shall be paid at the
wage rate of the classification to which the employee is being
appointed, which is the next higher to his present wage rate, but not
more than the top wage rate of the classification to which the employee
is appointed. Notwithstanding the following requirements relative to a
period of employment at a salary step, the Department Head may recom-
mend a salary step increase at an earlier or later time. Step
increases require City Manager approval and may be granted as follows:
After thirteen full pay periods of employment at salary step 1, and
with satisfactory or above work performance during the full time
period, an employee shall be advanced to salary step 2 . After twenty-
six (26) full pay periods of employment at salary step 2 , and with
satisfactory or above work performance during the full time period, an
employee shall be advanced to salary step 3 . After twenty-six (26)
full pay periods of employment at salary step 3 , and with satisfactory
or above work performance during the full time period, an employee
shall be advanced to salary step 4 . After twenty-six (26) full pay
periods of employment at salary step 4, and with satisfactory or above
work performance during the full time period, an employee shall be
advanced to salary step 5. A full pay period as used in 8. 1 is defined
as one in which the employee works or is paid for time off for at least
half of the regularly scheduled work hours.
8
, L
8 . 2 Wages shall be paid at bi-weekly intervals on Thursdays at
the end of the employee' s work period after 12 : 00 noon for a pay period
ending no earlier than the preceding Saturday. If a pay day falls on a
holiday, payments shall be made on the preceding workday.
8 . 3 When an employee is temporarily assigned for a minimum of
one-half (1/2) hour accumulated during any workday to work in a clas-
sification higher than the employee's regular classification, the
employee shall be paid at the rate established for the higher clas-
sification, with a minimum of four (4) hours and time computed to the
next full hour, except when the work is performed outside of the reg-
ular work hours and the duration is less than four (4) hours. When an
employee is temporarily assigned to work in a higher classification
which has a wage range overlapping the wage range of the employee' s
regular classification, the employee shall be paid at the wage rate of
the classification to which he is temporarily assigned, which is next
higher to the employee' s present wage rate, but not more than the top
wage rate of the temporary classification.
8 . 4 When an employee is temporarily assigned to work in a clas-
sification lower than the employee's regular classification, the
employee's rate of pay will not be reduced. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, however, whenever any employee requests to be temporarily
assigned to perform the duties of a lower paying classification pur-
suant to Section 11. 6 of Article 11, Promotion and Transfer, such
employee's wage rate shall be reduced to the wage rate of the lower , ._...
paying classification. G
8. 5 For purposes of wage rate progression in a temporary clas-
sification, the time worked by an employee in other than the employee's
regular classification shall also be accrued in such temporary
classification.
8 . 6 (a) Attached hereto and made a part hereof is Exhibit "A-1, " "A-
2 , " and A-3 titled "Schedule of Wage Rates. "
8. 6 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, wage rates shall not be
adjusted below the level established on October 4, 1987.
8 . 7 Attached hereto and made a part hereof is Exhibit "B" , titled
"Job Definitions. "
ARTICLE 9
Hours and Overtime
9. 1 All regular employees will receive full-time employment for

lack of work or other valid reason at the end of the workweek.

larly established headquarters and shall return thereto at the con-

however that those employees who are required to consume their lunch at
a location other than the City's Corporation Yard, shall not be

ARTICLE 10
Seniority

return immediately on the expiration of a leave of absence or accep-
tance of other full-time employment while on leave, or (5) absence

other than temporary vacancies occur, in positions within the
appropriate bargaining units for whom Local Union 1245 is the exclusive
representative, the City shall fill such positions from qualified pre-
bid employee applications, if any. In filling such positions, the City
shall give preferential consideration to regular employees as defined
in 7. 2 , who are within the bargaining unit covered by this Memorandum
of Understanding, in the sequence set forth below. When employees in
the same preferential sequence as provided in (a) through (f) are each
qualified by knowledge, skill, efficiency, adaptability and physical
ability for appointment to the position vacancy, the pre-bid of the
employee with the most City seniority shall be given preferential
consideration for appointment. For the first and each subsequently
odd-numbered entry-level position vacancy which occurs after July 15,
13
1984 , in each of the divisions or departments as set forth in 11.4 , the
City will follow the procedures set forth as—follows in filling each
such entry-level position vacancy. Whenever any qualified bargaining
unit employee hired before October 28, 1990 pre-bids the entry-level
position vacancy, the City must select from among those bargaining unit
employee pre-bidders. Whenever no qualified bargaining unit employee
hired before October 28, 1990 pre-bids, the City may select any
applicant to fill the entry-level position vacancy. For each even-
numbered entry-level position vacancy which subsequently occurs, the
City may refrain from following the procedures set forth above and may
select any applicant for an entry-level position vacancy which in the
judgment of the City is best-qualified for said position vacancy.
(a) Pre-bids made by regular employees who are in the Division or
Department, as applicable, in which the vacancy exists who
hold a classification equal to or higher than that in which
the job vacancy exists.
(b) Pre-bids made by regular employees who are in the Division or
Department, as applicable, in which the vacancy exists who

equal to or higher than that in which the job vacancy exists
who are assigned to any other Division or Department.
(d) Pre-bids made by regular employees who are at the top rate of
pay of the next lower classification in the normal line of
progression who are assigned to any other Division or
Department.
(e) Pre-bids made by regular employees who are in the Division or
Department as applicable. in which the vacancy exists who hold
classifications other than those listed above.
(f) Pre-bids made by regular employees who are outside of the
Division or Department as applicable in which the vacancy
exists who hold any classification other than those listed
above.
Whenever the City is unable to fill any position vacancy covered by
this Memorandum of Understanding as set forth above, the City shall
give consideration to those employees who are qualified and covered by
any other Memorandum of Understanding between the City and the Union,
prior to the City employing any other person for a position covered by
this Memorandum of Understanding.
11.2 The City shall in not more than twenty-one (21) working days
from the date the position vacancy is filled, post on the designated
bulletin boards a notice regarding the disposition of the position with
the name of the applicant selected, and mail a copy of such notice to
the Union's Business Representative together with a list of all
applicants for the position.
11. 3 Any regular employee of the City as defined in 7 . 2 may submit
a pre-bid on any existing job classification and location for which the
employee desires consideration. The pre-bid must be submitted on a
14
form provided by the City' s Personnel Office. At the time the form is
delivered to the Personnel Office, it will be dated and receipted and a
photocopy provided to the employee. The City shall not consider
original pre-bids for any position vacancies which are submitted less
than eight (8) calendar days prior to the filling of a job vacancy.

classifications, or until fifteen (15) calendar days have elapsed fron
such time as the employee rejects a permanent appointment to the
classification and location on which the pre-bid is made.

consider the pre-bid application of any employee who does not possess
the knowledge, skill, efficiency, adaptability, and physical ability
required for the position for which the application is submitted. For
purposes of determining employee qualifications, the City may utilize
examinations. When the City intends to appoint an employee to a
vacancy in preference to an employee with greater seniority, as
specified in 11. 1, the City shall notify Union' s Business
Representative of its intent prior to such appointment.
11. 6 Whenever a vacancy occurs in any job classification, the City
may, at its discretion, temporarily fill such vacancy. If practicable,
the City shall fill such temporary vacancy with the employee who would
be most eligible therefor under the provisions of this Article. If the
vacancy is one which is expected to last less than fifteen (15) working
days, City may temporarily fill such vacancy with the employee in the
division or department in which the vacancy exists who would be most
eligible therefor under the provisions of this Article. If the tem-
porary vacancy lasts for forty-five (45) days or more, and the City
elects to temporarily fill such temporary vacancy, the City shall
select the employee who would be most eligible therefor under the
provisions of this Article and shall fill such temporary vacancy by
temporary reclassification of the selected employee.
11. 7 A temporary vacancy is one created by additional workload, or
an employee' s absence from work due to illness, disability, vacation,
or leave of absence, or a vacancy of less than six (6) months duration.
11.8 All appointments filled by promotion or transfer of a City
employee shall be on a probationary basis for three (3) months for the
purpose of determining qualifications. At any time during the
probationary period, either the employee or the City may terminate the
appointment. If an appointment is terminated, the employee shall be
returned to either the employee's previous classification and wage
15
rate, or some other classification that is mutually satisfactory to
both the employee and the City. If an appointment is terminated, the
City need not give further consideration on that classification and
location for a period of one (1) year to the employee who did not
successfully complete the probationary period.
11. 9 Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article, the
City's Direeter of Labor Relations Representative and the Union's
Business Representative may agree to other provisions during the term
of this Memorandum of Understanding.

12 . 1 When it becomes necessary for the City to lay off regular
employees, the City will give employees involved as much notice as
possible; but in no event will such employees receive less than two (2)
weeks' notice of layoff. Where probationary or temporary employees are
to be laid off, no notice of layoff need be given.
12 . 2 Layoff in all cases due to lack of work will be determined by
an employee's seniority. An employee whose job is being eliminated may
elect to displace the least senior a-m employee in any Division or
Department as set forth in section 11.4 in any equally or lower paid
classification if qualified to perform the duties of the lewd—
r---'
classification and if the employee's seniority is greater than that of
the employee in the classification being displaced.
16
12 . 3 Regular employees who are laid off will be given preference
in filling future vacancies for a period up to six (6) months, pro-
viding they keep the City advised of their current address.

City Manager for urgent and substantial reasons, up to a maximum of one
year (except when the employee is receiving long term disability
benefits in which case no time limit shall apply) , providing satis-
factory arrangements can be made to perform the employee' s duties
without undue interference with the normal routine of work. Inability
to return to work after an employee' s sick leave has been exhausted
will be considered as an urgent and substantial reason and in such
cases a leave will be granted.
13 . 2 A leave of absence will commence on and include the first
workday on which the employee is absent and terminates with and
includes the workday preceding the day the employee returns to work.
13 . 3 All applications for leave of absence shall be made in
writing except when the employee is unable to do so. The conditions
under which an employee will be restored to employment on the termi-
nation of leave of absence shall ' be clearly stated by the City in
conjunction with the granting of a leave of absence. Upon an
employee's return to work after a leave of absence, the employee will
be reinstated to the employee's former position and working conditions,
providing that the employee is capable of performing the duties of the
employee's former position, except that if there has been a reduction
of forces or the employee's position has been eliminated during said
leave, the employee will be returned to the position the employee would
be in, had the employee not been on a leave of absence.
13 . 4 An employee' s status as a regular employee will not be
impaired by such leave of absence and the employee' s seniority will
accrue.
13 . 5 If an employee fails to return immediately on the expiration
of the employee's leave of absence or if the employee accepts other
full-time employment while on leave, the employee will thereby forfeit
the leave of absence and terminate the employee's employment with the
City.
13 . 6 An employee on a leave of absence as provided herein shall
not accrue vacation or sick leave benefits nor maintain group insurance
coverage. An employee may, however, at the employee's option and
expense, maintain the employee's group insurance coverage providing the
17
full monthly premium is received in the Finance Department of the City
on or before the first day of the month for which the premium is
intended. Notwithstanding the above, however, if the leave of absence
is as a result of exhaustion of sick leave benefits an employee' s group
insurance may be maintained for up to three (3) calendar months on the
normal premium-sharing formula, providing the employee pays the
employee's share of the premium on a timely basis.
13 .7 Except for the one (1) year limitation of 13 . 1 and the pro-
hibition on other employment of 13 . 5, a leave of absence for Union
Business may be granted by the City Manager for up to a maximum of
three (3) years pursuant to the provisions of this Article.

residence from one locality to another for City' s convenience, the City
will provide means of moving the employee' s household goods.
14 . 3 Employees who are assigned to temporary work at such distance
from their regular headquarters that it is impractical for them to
return thereto each day, or to their regular place of abode, will be
allowed actual personal expenses for board and lodging for the duration
of such assignment, provided they board and lodge at places to be
designated by the City. The time spent by such employees in traveling
to such temporary job at its beginning, to and from home on holidays
and weekends, and from such temporary job at its conclusion and any
reasonable expense incurred thereby will be paid by the City.
14 . 4 If the City requires an employee to perform work for one and
one-half (1-1/2) hours or more beyond regular work hours, it will
provide the employee with a meal and with meals at intervals of
approximately four (4) hours, but not more than five (5) hours insofar

time necessarily taken to consume. same will be at City's expense.
14 . 5 (a) If City requires an employee to perform work outside of
regular hours on either workdays or on non-workdays, the City will
provide meals at intervals of approximately four (4) hours, but not
more than five (5) hours insofar as it is possible for the City to do
so and for as long as the work continues. The cost of any such meals
and the time necessarily taken to consume same willbe at the City's
expense. Where any such work extends into regular work hours on
workdays, the foregoing provisions shall be operative until such time
as the employee is released from work for the day, providing, however,
that such work period starts at least one and one-half (1-1/2) hours or
more before the regular starting time, and provided further that the
employees have not been given notification of the overtime work prior

for one-half (1/2) hour to consume a meal at the employee' s own expense
will be followed. Following consumption of the employee's first meal,
the City will provide meals at intervals of approximately four (4)
hours but not more than five (5) hours thereafter, as set forth above
in Section 14 . 5 (a)

ceding work period, and such work period starts less than two (2) hours
before the regular starting time, the normal lunch practices of
releasing the employee from duty without pay for one-half hour at
approximately the usual meal time to consume a meal at the employee' s
expense will be followed.
14 . 6 When work is to be performed during regular work hours on
non-workdays and the employee is given notice by the end of the pre-
ceding work period, the normal lunch practices will be followed on such
days.
14 . 7 The City shall pay the cost of any meal which it is required
to provide, in accordance with this Article, and shall consider as
hours worked the time necessarily taken to consume such meal, except,
however, that when a meal is taken at City' s expense following
dismissal from work the time allowance therefor shall be one (1) hour.
If an employee who is entitled to a meal under the provisions of this
Article upon dismissal from work does not accept such meal the employee
shall nevertheless be entitled to such time allowance of one and one-
half (1 1/2) hours. If an employee who is entitled to a meal under the
provisions of this Article does not accept such meal, the employee
shall nevertheless be entitled to such time allowance of one-half (1/2)
hour for each meal missed except for a meal due at the end of the work
period. The City' s cost for any meal required by the provisions of
this Article between the employee's regular shift normal ending time
and five (5) hours later shall be limited to twelve dollars ($12 . 00)
plus tax and a fifteen percent (15%) tip. The City' s cost for meals
provided at all other times shall be limited to six dollars ($6. 00 )

examination by a physician or physicians approved by City for the
purpose of determining that such employee is physically fit and able to
perform the duties of the employee's former position without hazard to
the employee, or to the employee' s fellow employees, or to the
employee's own permanent health. Such examination or examinations
shall be at the sole expense of the City. Whenever there is reason to
