Grievance Procedure
4. 1 Any grievance , which may arise between Union , or any of its
members , and the City, with respect to the interpretation or applica-
tion of any of the terms of this Memorandum of Understanding, and

trary discharge, demotion or discipline of an individual employee ,

supervisor 's answer in Step Cne .
4 . 4 Step Three : If a grievance is not resolved in the second
step , the third step shall be a discussion between the Shop Steward

step shall be taken within ten ( 10) days of the date of the Division
Head 's answer in Step Two.

•
binding on the parties . Any additional information submitted by
either party shall be submitted to the arbitrator and the other
party. Thereafter , the decision of the arbitrator shall be final and
binding on City and Union and the aggrieved employee , if any , pro-
vided 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
aforementioned 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 .

ual 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

at such adjustment. Grievances settled by individual employees with-
out 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 sev-
enty 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 pen-
sion through the Public Employees ' Retirement System. 'In considera-
tion 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 such sources shall not exceed in amount the supplemental
benefits paid to the employee by the City in accordance with the pro-
visions of this paragraph. Whenever there is reason to suspect any
employee of abusing the employee 's right to workers ' compensation
benefits , the parties shall cooperate in controlling such employee
abuse .
6. 1 (b) An employee who is absent by reason of industrial disabil-
ity may be returned to work by the City and given temporary light
duties within the employee 's ability to perform, with the consent of
the employee 's physician . The duration of any such period of tempo-
rary work shall be determined by City. Such employee shall be com-
pensated at the then current rate of pay of the employee 's regular
classification while engaged in such temporary duties. The City may
require an employee being considered for return to work after an
absence caused by disability or illness to submit to a medical exami-
nation by a physician or physicians approved by City for the purpose
7
110 1111
•
of determining that such employee is physically and mentally fit and
able to perform the duties of the employee 's position without hazard
to the employee , or to the employee 's fellow employees , or to the em-
ployee 's own permanent health.
6 . 1 (c ) If a third party is found to be responsible for the
employee 's industrial injury and the employee recovers a judgment in
damages from said third party, then all supplemental benefits
received as provided for in Section 6 . 1 (a ) not already repaid from
the other sources mentioned in Section 6 . 1 (a) shall be repaid to the
City by the employee.
6. 1 (d ) Vacation and sick leave shall be accrued while a regular
employee is absent from work as a result of a job related disability
and receiving the supplemental benefits to Workers ' Compensation tem-
porary disability compensation as set forth in 6 . 1 (a) for the period
of such disability, but not exceeding one ( 1 ) year . All regular and
probationary employees who are receiving Workers ' Compensation tempo-
rary disability benefits shall receive group insurance coverage dur-
ing the period in which they are receiving temporary disability com-
pensation for up to a maximum of a cumulative total of five ( 5) years
at the City's expense . Holidays which occur during the period for
which an employee is receiving temporary disability compensation
shall not be recognized by such employee for compensation purposes.
ARTICLE 7
Employee Status
7 . 1 Employees will be designated as regular, probationary, or
full-time temporary depending upon the purpose for which they are
hired and their length of continuous service with the City.
7 .2 A regular employee is defined as an employee who has six
( 6) months or more seniority with the City in full-time employment .
7. 3 A probationary employee is defined as an employee hired for

employee shall receive not less than the minimum rate for the job and
shall be eligible for sick leave pay, vacation pay, holiday pay,
retirement plan participation , insurance coverage and items of simi-
lar nature, as the employee becomes eligible, but shall not be given
preferential consideration for promotion or transfer or be eligible
for a leave of absence. Upon completion of six (6) months of contin-
uous 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 any unpaid absence of ten ( 10) or more
consecutive work 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 six
( 6) months . A full-time temporary employee shall receive not less

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 con-
tinuous 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 recommend a salary step increase
at an earlier or later time. Stepincreases 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 per-
formance during the full time period, an employee shall be advanced
to salary step 4. After twenty-six (26) full pay periods of employ-
ment at salary step 4 , and with satisfactory or above work perfor-
mance 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.
8.2 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-
9
• 411
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 classifica-
tion 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 .
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 tem-
porary classification .

9 . 1 All regular employees will receive full-time employment for
each workweek employed, provided they report for duty and are capable

week .
9 .2 Each employee shall report for work at the employee 's regu-
larly established headquarters and shall return thereto at the con-

lunch period may be advanced or delayed up to one ( 1 ) hour without
the payment of overtime compensation . The City shall provide the
means of transportation and pay for time required to transport
employees for the purpose of consuming their lunch only when adverse
weather conditions exist at the job site. Whenever it becomes neces-
sary for any employee to attend first-aid meetings, safety meetings ,
or formal training sessions , such employee 's work hours and/or work
days may be changed only for the duration of such requirements in
order to allow the employee to attend . Any such work schedule change

half hours off for each overtime hour worked. Compensatory time off
with pay shall be scheduled in the same manner as vacations are nor-
mally scheduled.
9. 9 Employees who are required to report for work on their non-

their regular hours on workdays, shall be paid overtime compensation
for the actual time worked, including one-half ( 1/2) hour travel time
each way, but in no event for less than two (2) hours compensation .
If an employee who is called out for such work outside of the
employee 's regular hours on a workday continues to work into the
employee 's regular hours, the employee shall be paid overtime compen-
sation only for the actual time worked and travel time one way . If
an employee performs overtime work immediately following the end of
the employee 's regular shift no travel time shall be paid.
9 . 10 Overtime shall be distributed as equally as is practicable
among those employees who are qualified and available , and the City
shall not require employees who have worked overtime to take equiva-
lent time off during a workday without pay.

9. 12(b) There shall be included as part of the eight (8) hours
worked at the overtime rate in such sixteen ( 16) hour period any
travel time and meal time to which the employee is entitled when
overtime work is performed except that any travel time and meal time
to which the employee is entitled after being dismissed from work
13
• 410
shall not be included as hours worked in such period , but it shall be
included in the computation of the eight ( 8) hour rest period.
9 . 12(c ) Hours worked prior to any eight (8) hour rest period
in which the employee does not work shall not be included in comput-
ing another period of overtime work.
9 . 12(d ) If the eight (8) hour rest period in whole or in part
overlaps the employee 's regular work hours the employee will receive
pay at the straight rate for the extent of the overlap, except that
the time taken during such overlap for any meal to which the employee
is entitled on dismissal shall be paid for at the overtime rate .

( 3) In the application of the foregoing, an employee ,
unless otherwise instructed, shall be deemed to be
excused from reporting to work for the period
between the end of the employee 's rest period and
the reporting time as designated by the applicable
subdivision.
9. 12(g) An employee entitled to a rest period hereunder may
nevertheless be required to work during regular work hours on a work-
day without having had a rest period of eight (8) consecutive hours,
in which event the employee shall be paid at the overtime rate for
all work performed until the employee has been relieved from duty for
at least eight (8) consecutive hours.
ARTICLE 10
Seniority
10. 1 Seniority is defined as total length of continuous service
with the City. In determining an employee 's seniority the continuity
of the employee 's service will be deemed to be broken by termination
14
411

( 3) layoff for more than six ( 6) consecutive months , (4) failure to
return immediately on the expiration of a leave of absence or accep-
tance of other full-time employment while on leave , or (5) absence

the Merchant Marine , under any Act of Congress which provides that
the employee is entitled to re-employment rights , (b ) on duty with

ARTICLE 11
Promotion and Transfer
11 . 1 Except as otherwise provided in this section for the entry-
level positions of Custodian , Utility Field Worker, Solid Waste
Worker, Sanitation Crewman , Airport Maintenance Man , Garageman , and
Public Works Maintenance Man when new positions or additional posi-
tions are created, or vacancies 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 consid-
eration 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 , 1984, in each of
the divisions or departments as set forth in 11 . 4 , the City will
follow the procedures set forth as follows abeve 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.
15
• 410
(b ) Pre-bids made by regular employees who are in the Division
or Department , as applicable , in which the vacancy exists
who are at the top rate of pay of the next lower classifi-
cation in the normal line of progression .
(c) Pre-bids made by regular employees who hold a classifica-
tion equal to or higher than that in which the job vacancy
exists who are assigned to any other Division or Depart-
ment .
(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 desig-
nated bulletin boards a notice regarding the disposition of the posi-
tion 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 sub-
mit a pre-bid on any existing job classification and location for
which the employee desires consideration . The pre-bid must be sub-
mitted on a 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 . Pre-bids will be valid until such time as the
employee changes classifications, or until fifteen ( 15) calendar days
have elapsed from such time as the employee rejects a permanent
appointment to the classification and location on which the pre-bid
is made.

11 . 5 Notwithstanding anything contained herein , the City need
not 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 sub-
mitted . 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 Busi-
ness 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 prac-
ticable , 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 temporary 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 eligi-
ble 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, vaca-
tion, 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
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
17
• •
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 Director of Labor Relations and the Union 's Business Represen-
tative may agree to other provisions during the term of this Memoran-
dum of Understanding.
11 . 10 Attached hereto and made a part hereof is Exhibit "C"
titled "Lines of Progression . "
11 . 11 At the discretion of the City, non-unit employees may be
placed into the bargaining unit under the following conditions :
( 1 ) The non-unit employee must have previously been
employed by the City in a classification in the bar-
gaining unit .
(2) The non-unit employee must be placed in a classifica-
tion in the unit which is no higher than the previous
classification held .
(3) Seniority accrued by the non-unit employee while out
of the bargaining unit shall not be recognized for the
purposes of this Article only .
(4) The non-unit employee must be placed in a vacant posi-
tion and may not displace, demote, or cause the layoff
of another unit member.
(5) After placement in the unit, the employee may not be
promoted to a higher classification within the unit
until the employee has served at least one ( 1 ) year in
the bargaining unit . After completion of one ( 1 ) year
of service back in the bargaining unit , the employee 's
previous seniority accrued while in the unit shall be
combined with the new year of seniority for purposes
of the provisions of this Article .
ARTICLE 12
Demotion , Displacement , and Layoff
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 employ-
ees 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 elimi-
nated may elect to displace an employee in a lower paid classifica-
tion if qualified to perform the duties of the lower paid classifica-
18
S 411
tion and if the employee 's seniority is greater than that of the
employee in the lower paid classification.
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 .
12 . 4 Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article , the City's
Director of Labor Relations and the Union 's Business Representative
may agree to other procedures during the term of this Memorandum of
Understanding.
12. 5 Non-unit employees may be placed in the bargaining unit at
management 's discretion pursuant to the provisions of Section 11 . 11 .
ARTICLE 13
Leave of Absence
13 . 1 Leave of absence may be granted to regular employees by the
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. Inabil-
ity 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 condi-
tions , 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 elimi-
nated during said leave, the employee will be returned to the posi-
tion 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 expira-
tion of the employee 's leave of absence or if the employee accepts
other full-time employment while on leave, the employee will thereby
19
•
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 insur-
ance coverage. An employee may , however , at the employee 's option
and expense , maintain the employee 's group insurance coverage provid-
ing the full monthly premium is received in the Finance Department of
the City on or before the first day of the month for which the pre-
mium 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) cal-
endar 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.
ARTICLE 14
Expenses
14. 1 Whenever an employee uses the employee 's personal automo-
bile for the City's convenience , the employee will be reimbursed
therefor at the same rate per mile as established for non-represented
City employees .
14. 2 Whenever an employee is required to change the employee 's
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 dis-
tance 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 inso-
far as it is possible for the City to do so. The cost of any meal
and the 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
20
• •
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 will be 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, how-
ever , 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 to the end of the preceding regular work shift .
14.5(b) When employees are given notice by the end of the pre-
ceding work period , and such work period starts at least two (2)
hours but no more than four (4) hours before the regular starting
time , the normal lunch practices of releasing the employee from duty
without pay 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)
14 .5(c ) When employees are given notice by the end of the pre-
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
