Furthermore, the City retains all its exclusive rights and authority under City Charter, ordinances, resolutions, State and Federal laws and expressly and exclusively retains its management rights, which include, but are not limited to: the exclusive right to determine the mission of its constituent departments, commissions, and boards; set standards of selection for employment and promotions; direct its employees; establish and enforce dress and grooming standards; determine the methods and means to relieve its employees from duty because of lack of work or other lawful reasons; maintain the efficiency of governmental operations; determine the methods, means and numbers and kinds of personnel by which government operations are to be conducted; determine the content and intent of job classifications; determine methods of financing; determine style and/or types of City issued wearing apparel, equipment or technology, means, organizational structure and size and composition of work force and allocate and assign work by which the City operations are to be conducted; determine and change the number of work locations, relocations, and types of operations, processes and materials to be used in carrying out all City functions including, but not limited to, the right to contract for or subcontract any work or operations of the City; assign work to and schedule employees in accordance with requirements as determined by the City and establish and change work schedules and assignments upon reasonable notice; establish and modify productivity and performance programs and standards; discharge, suspend, demote, reprimand, withhold salary increases and benefits, or otherwise discipline employees in accordance with the applicable law; establish employee performance standards including, but not limited to, quality and quantity standards; and carry out its mission in emergencies, and exercise complete control and discretion over its organization and the technology of performing its work. Section 2 EmDlovee Ril!:hts A. Employees of the City have the right to form, join and participate in the activities of employee organizations of their own choosing for the purpose of representation on all matters of employer-employee relations, including, but not limited to: wages, hours and other terms and conditions of employment. Employees of this City also shall have the right to refuse to join or participate in the activities of employee organizations and shall have the right to represent General Unit MOU 4 RES 96-87 themselves. No employee shall be interfered with, intimidated, restrained, coerced or discriminated against by the City or by employee organizations, because of the exercise of these rights. B. The City, through its representatives, shall meet and confer in good faith only with representatives of formally recognized employee organizations regarding matters within the scope of representation, including wages, hours and other terms and conditions of employment. Section 3 Contract Services It is not the intent of the City to cause employees to lose their jobs because of a decision to contract work. However, if a decision is made by the City to contract work not now contracted, and that decision will result in change in the work status of employees in the Union representation unit, prior to concluding the research and analysis necessary for the implementation of such a decision, the City will meet and confer in good faith concerning the manpower resource considerations involved and receive recommendations from the Union to reduce the impact upon jobs performed by unit employees. Section 4 Al!encv Personnel Rules It is understood and agreed that there exists within the City in written or unwritten form, certain personnel rules, policies, practices and benefits generally contained in the "Civil Service Rules and Regulations for the Classified Service"; Resolution No. 6433, as amended; Resolution No. 10584, Establishing Uniform and Orderly Methods of Communications Between the City and its Employees for the Purpose of Promoting Improved Employer Employee Relations, as amended; and Resolution No. 10585, Adopting Rules and Regulations relating to Employer- Employee Relations, as amended, which documents will continue in effect, except for those provisions modified by the Common Council in accordance with State Laws, orders, regulations, official instructions or policies. In the cases of proposed changes to the resolutions, other than by agreement, the Union shall be consulted with prior to the consideration of these changes by the Mayor and Common Council, except in cases of emergency as defined by the Mayor and Common Council, in which cases the Union will be consulted with as soon as possible after the changes. Any departmental work rules initiated, established, and promulgated by the City shall be General Unit MOU 5 I RES 96-87 posted on bulletin boards ten (10) days prior to their effective date, except in emergency situations. A copy of such rules shall be sent to the Union office. The reasonableness of any disciplinary action taken as a result of a violation of any departmental work rule may be determined in the grievance procedure at the employee's election. The City shall make reasonable efforts to acquaint employees with work rules. Work rules shall be uniformly applied. Section 5 Safety Committee There is established an Employee Safety and Accident Review Board and Safety Committee in which the General Unit has membership (three (3) members). The Board will review all recordable accidents (both City equipment and personal injury of City employee) and make recommendations to the City Administrator and Director of Risk Management for all corrective actions in establishing better job safety. The Board will improve safety communications throughout the City and review each accident on or off City property. The Board will investigate all "industrial type" accidents and "vehicular" accidents and make recommendations on how the accident could have been prevented. The Board is expected to establish its own rules of conduct, to elect its own officers at the first meeting in January and keep minutes of all its meetings, findings and recommendations. The Committee is expected to meet no less than once a month at a time agreeable to all members. Upon completion of reviews by the Committee of accidents/incidents, the Committee will make recommendations for corrective measures to establish safer working conditions and may recommend disciplinary action. It is of mutual benefit to the City and to the employee to be fully aware of and comply with all safety rules and regulations. The City, Union and employees agree to work towards preventing job-related injuries to employees and damage to both public and private property. Guests and/or speakers will be allowed to attend, based on advance notice to the City and mutual agreement. In the event a representative from either side is unable to attend a meeting, the spokesperson from each side may, with two working days' notice to the other side, select an alternate from a pre-designated pool of employees. The "pool" will consist of up to three (3) employees, whose names will be exchanged by the City and the Union each July. General Unit MOU 6 RES 96-87 Section 6 Labor-Manal!ement Committee The Labor-Management Committee shall continue for the term of this MOD. Its continuing purpose is for the discussion of common problems that are not addressed in other existing procedures. The Union shall designate three (3) representatives to serve on the Committee from different departments. The City shall also designate three (3) representatives to serve on the Committee. The Committee will select a chairperson who will be responsible for receiving items, establishing agendas and informing participants of the time and place of meetings. The Committee shall normally meet at least quarterly or may meet more often if necessary at a mutually agreed upon time and place. Recommendations shall be considered by management. The Union will provide a list of the three (3) Committee members to the Director of Personnel each July. Guests and/or speakers will be allowed to attend, based on advance notice to the City and mutual agreement. In the event a representative from either side is unable to attend a meeting, the spokesperson from each side may, with two working days' notice to the other side, select an alternate from a pre-designated pool of employees. The "pool" will consist of up to three (3) employees, whose names will be exchanged by the City and the Union each July. Section 7 Time Off for Emnlovee Renresentatives The Association may designate up to ten (10) representatives from the Departments/Divisions listed below to meet for one (1) hour per month on City time at the end of the City Hall work day. The Union will submit names of employees to the Personnel Department prior to the first meeting. The Union will provide any changes in employee names to the Personnel Department prior to subsequent meetings. The time must be scheduled in advance. Department approval is required for release time. Following is the breakdown of employees by Department/Division: Animal Control City Hall Department or Division Facilities Management Fire Library or SBETA Parks, Recreation & Community Services Refuse Division 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 General Unit MOU 7 RES 96-87 Police Streets Division 2 1 Total 10 ARTICLE II EMPLOYER-EMPLOYEE RELATIONS Section 1 RecolmitionlUnion Securitv Exclusive recognition of the Union is acknowledged for the purpose of meeting and conferring on wages, hours and working conditions, and of general representation within the unit of representation. The classification titles of those general regular employees in the unit for which the Union has been recognized exclusively as the exclusive representative are listed under Section 10 of City Resolution No. 6413, as amended, excluding therefrom: position and classification titles designated as management/confidential, middle-management, or subsequently so designated by the City, positions established and created under Federal contract, and those employees while under provisional or probationary status. The granting of "exclusive" recognition shall not preclude employee self-representation in matters where individual rights, protections and concerns are involved; provided, however, the representation rights of the Union as exclusive representative shall not be compromised thereby. If a unit member does not wish to be represented by the Union in matters pertaining to grievances and disciplinary appeals, and wishes to represent himself/herself, such member shall be required to provide the Union and the City with a signed statement waiving the right to Union representation in such matters. Section 2 No Strike It is the purpose of the MOU for the parties hereto, to confirm and maintain the spirit of cooperation which has existed between the City and the employees of the City. It is recognized that any work disruptions are unproductive to City operations and services provided to its citizens. The Union and the City agree that they shall at no time or in any way jeopardize the public health, welfare, and safety of the City's business and residential communities. Thus, the Union and the City will strive to promote a harmonious relationship between the parties to this MOU that will result in benefits to the City and will provide continuous and uninterrupted employee services. It is, therefore, further agreed that the Union shall not, on behalf of itself General Unit MOU 8 RES 96-87 and its members, individually or collectively, engage in any curtailment or restriction of work at any time during the term of this MOU. Section 3 Payroll Deduction for Union Dues The City agrees to provide Union dues deductions for Union members only as long as the Union remains the exclusive representative for the employees within the bargaining unit. Conversely, no other employee organization shall be permitted dues deduction privileges for employees within the bargaining unit. The City shall not be liable to the Union, employees or any other person by reason of the requirements of this article for the remittance of any sum other than that constituting actual deductions made from employee wages earned. Dues shall be deducted from the pay of each employee who signs the authorized payroll deduction card as a monthly sum certified to the City by the Secretary of the Union as the regular monthly Union dues and insurance fees. The amount of dues shall be affIxed to each authorization card by the Union. A letter of authorization, signed by the Union's Secretary/ Treasurer, indicating the date of the meeting and approval of dues by the general membership, shall constitute proof. The City will not deduct any pay for initiation fees, fInes or other special assessments. Dues deduction shall be a specifIed uniform amount for each employee and any change in the amount of dues deducted shall be by written authorization from the Union provided, however, that the Union shows proof that the general membership has voted and approved any change in the amount of dues. The employee's earnings must be suffIcient after other legal and required deductions are made to cover the amount of the dues checkoff authorized. When a member in good standing of the Union is in a non-pay status for an entire pay period, and the salary is not sufficient to cover the full withholding, no dues withholding will be made to cover the period from future earnings, nor will the member deposit the amount with the City which would have been withheld if the member had been in a pay status during that period. All other legal and required deductions have priority over employee organization dues. Dues withheld by the City shall be transmitted to the office designated by the Union, in writing, at the address specified in the letter of authorization. All unit members who were members of the Union on June 1, 1993, and those employees who thereafter become members shall remain as members in good standing of said Union for the duration of this MOU, except as provided for in this article. During the fIrst full work week in June, a member may request to the Finance Department, in writing, with a copy to the Union President, to withdraw his/her authorization for dues deduction, which shall become effective in the first payroll period in August. The Union shall indemnify, defend, and hold the City harmless against any claims made, and against any suit instituted against the City in regards to employee organization dues. In General Unit MOU 9 RES 96-87 addition, the Union shall refund to the City any amounts paid to it in error, upon presentation of supporting evidence. Section 4 Grievance Procedure Definition of Employee Grievance: A grievance is an alleged violation of the terms of the MOU or of the laws, ordinances, resolutions concerning or affecting wages, hours or other conditions of employment. The remedy selected by the employee shall be the exclusive remedy pursued, either through the grievance procedure, or through appeals to the Civil Service Board. If the employee chooses to appeal disciplinary action to the Civil Service Board, he!she shall be precluded from f1ling a grievance. Additionally, allegations of discrimination and harassment may be submitted to the AffIrmative Action Officer. As used in this procedure, the term "immediate supervisor" means the lowest level of supervisor not within the general employee representation unit. The procedure provides a mechanism for settling the grievance informally with the "immediate supervisor," up to and including the Division Head. If this proves unsatisfactory, the grievance may be formally presented to the Department Head or designee, the Director of Personnel, and, fInally, to the City Administrator who will be the ultimate authority. The aggrieved employee shall have the right to be represented, if he! she desires, by the designated Union representative. .-- Procedural Stej)s for Handling Grievances: A. Informal: An attempt shall be made to ascertain all facts and adjust all grievances on an informal basis between the employee and a supervisor in the employee's chain of command, up to and including the Division Head. Presentation of the grievance must be submitted to the Informal Step within ten (10) working days of the incident causing the grievance, or of the grievant's knowledge of the incident's occurrence. The date and the subject of the incident should be provided with the request for the informal meeting. _mil_tool II.rDx!~~...II!I!~l;IiIi~Ii~;[i~1~i_I>>I.4Ij.II_1 General Unit MOU 10 RES 96-87 1IIIII\Ii\__llitill'IIBJ'!!!lfil1;"-ttRilR B.

The Department Head, or his/her designee, shall meet with the employee and/or his/her designated representative within the next ten (10) working days of receipt of the written grievance and shall deliver his/her answer, in writing, to the employee within ten (10) working days after the meeting. (2) If the grievance is still not adjusted, the aggrieved party may file a written appeal with the Director of Personnel within ten (10) working days from the date of delivery of said answer. The Director of Personnel, or his/her designee, shall meet with the employee, and if the employee desires, the designated Union representative, within ten (10) working days after receipt of the appeal and shall deliver his/her answer, in writing, to the employee within ten (10) working days after the meeting. (3) If the grievance is still not adjusted, the aggrieved party may file a written appeal with the City Administrator or his/her designated representative within ten (10) working days from the date of delivery of said answer.

(5) All grievances shall be treated as confidential, and no publicity shall be given the final resolution of the grievance. 1!!I!I!il!!I_.1 Any grievance not answered by the City within the specified time limits listed above shall be deemed settled on the basis of the Union's original demand.

Time lines as above may be extended by mutual agreement only. ~!.dil_~ll.IIIII~I.I".JIItWI General Unit MOU 11 ! RES 96-87 -=:JIll Section 5 Union ReDresentation When requested by an employee, a steward may represent an employee in a grievance, as defined in Article II, Section 4, Grievance Procedure. The steward representing an employee in a grievance proceeding shall be allowed reasonable time during working hours for such purposes, without loss of time or pay, with two (2) working days' advance written notice to, and with the approval of, the immediate supervisor, who shall notify and obtain the concurrence of the Division or Department Head. Approval to investigate and process a grievance will not be unreasonably withheld. The privilege of stewards to leave their work during working hours, without loss of time or pay, is subject to the understanding that time will be devoted to the proper handling of grievances within the unit of representation, will conform to department work rules, and will not be abused. Stewards will perform their regularly assigned work at all times, except when necessary to leave their work to handle grievances as provided herein. A steward will not be granted time off, nor compensation for the purpose of handling grievances outside the unit of representation which the Union has been exclusively recognized within the City. A steward may be allowed leave of absence without pay by the Mayor and Common Council to attend Union training courses and Union conventions if the Department Head concurs. A ratio of one steward for every 50 permanent employees in the unit shall be recognized by the City. Any substantiated abuse of the privileges accorded stewards with regard to reasonable time off and compliance with the requests of his/her immediate supervisor, or conflicts which arise between duty requirements and the handling of grievances, may be cause to suspend this privilege and both parties will call an immediate special consultation session between the City Administrator or his/her designated representative to resolve the problem. Punitive action shall not be taken against employees for performing their duties as stewards. The Union shall furnish the Director of Personnel with an up-to-date steward list each quarter including names of stewards and work locations. Changes, other than on the quarterly lists will not be recognized by the City, other than for a steward who has left the bargaining unit or City employment. General Unit MOU 12 RES 96-87 Section 6 Employee Lists The City agrees to provide the Union with a list of names of the General Unit employees, by City department, every six (6) months, beginning in January of each year. Section 7 Skellv Ril!hts It is mutually agreed that the City subscribes to the concept and application of progressive discipline. Discipline shall be imposed upon an employee only for just cause. If the employer has reason to reprimand an employee, it shall be done in a manner that will not embarrass the employee before other employees or the public. When an action for suspension or termination has been taken, subject to appeal, the employee will be apprised of the action, the reason therefor, and will be provided with a copy of the charges including material on which the action was based. Employees have the right to Union representation as provided under Government Code Section 3500 et seq. (Meyers-Milias- Brown Act). A. The employee shall receive advance notice of the proposed disciplinary action. Reasonable advance notice shall be provided to the employee. B. The notice must contain the reasons and the charges upon which the proposed action is based. C. The notice must also contain a statement of the events or circumstances upon which the action is based. D. The employee must be given the materials, if any, upon which the action is based. E. The employee shall have the right to respond either orally or in writing within five (5) working days of receipt of Skelly package to the appointing authority (Department Head/Division Head) imposing the discipline. F. The disciplinary procedure should be used for all serious disciplinary actions which are normally considered (1) demotions; (2) discharges; (3) reductions in pay; and, (4) suspensions. General Unit MOU 13 RES 96-87 Section 8 Non-Discrimination The City and the Union agree that there shall be no discrimination against employees within the bargaining unit because of race, color, creed, religion, national origin, sex, age, marital status or Union membership. Union membership also includes Union activities. Further, there shall be no discrimination against qualified individuals with disabilities, as defined by the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) of 1990, when those individuals do not pose a risk to the health or safety of themselves or others. The ADA expressly identifies reassignment to a vacant position as one form of reasonable accommodation. Section 9 Personnel FIles A. The Personnel Department shall keep and maintain an official personnel file for employees, which shall contain information relative to the employee. No other files, records or notations shall be official except as may be prepared or used by the City or its counsel in the course of preparation for any pending case, such as the Department of Fair Employment and Housing or Civil Service matter or grievance. B. An employee's department may maintain a file pertaining to an employee which shall contain job-related information only. It shall be the supervisor's responsibility to inform the employee with a copy thereof, of any detrimental material in the file that may affect the employee's performance evaluation. An employee may grieve over the factuality of or propriety of any material in such file. Such files shall be confidential. Both the City and the Union agree that an employee's failure to challenge any material in such file does not justify the conclusion that the employee is in agreement with any such material. Such files shall not contain a copy of any disciplinary action against an employee. C. Employees and/or their authorized representatives, if authorized by the employee, shall have the right, upon written request, to review the contents of their official personnel files and department files. Such review may be made during working hours, with no loss of pay for time spent, and the employee may be accompanied by his/her authorized representative if he/she so wishes. Reasonable requests to copy documents in the files shall be honored. D. A copy of any disciplinary action or material related to employee performance which is placed in the personnel file shall be served upon the employee (the employee so noting receipt), or sent by certified mail (return receipt requested) to his/her last address appearing on the records of the City. It is the obligation of each employee to provide the City with his/her current address. General Unit MOU 14 RES 96-87 Section 10 Bulletin Boards The City will provide adequate space on bulletin boards in each department/division for the purpose of the Union posting notice of pertinent Union business. The Union agrees that nothing libelous, obscene, defamatory or of a partisan political nature shall be posted. In the event that there is a dispute arising out of the pertinency of any literature the Union chooses to post, the City Administrator or his/her designated representative and a Union representative will meet as soon as possible to resolve the problem. Section 11 Budl!et Documents The City agrees to provide the Union, at no cost, one copy of the annual financial report, preliminary budget, final budget, and resolutions or ordinances as requested by the Union.

Section 13 New Emnlovee Information Once per month, the Personnel Department will furnish the Union with information on new General Unit employees, excluding their home addresses. Data will include employee name, title, department, department phone number, and date of hire. Data will not be provided until at least ten (10) working days following approval of the appointment by Mayor and Common Council. Section 14 Mailbox The City will offer a mail slot for the General Unit in the mailroom area established for City departments.

If a Department Head places an employee on standby, defmed as the employee being in a state of readiness and immediate availability to come to work outside of their normal work hours, the Union and the City hereby agree that the following is compensation in full for the hours of work of the employee when in such standby status: Standby Status For the employee's five (5) work days during their work week (or prorate at 1. 0) Hrs Compensated 5 work hours For the employee's two (2) non-work days during their work week (or pro rate at 2.5) 5 work hours OR, For all seven (7) days during a work week 10 work hours AND, General Unit MOU 18 RES 96-87 For any holiday, as described in this MOD, during which the employee stands by for all or any portion of the 24 hour day 1 extra work hour per holiday - added to the above The hours described above will be treated as time worked and paid at the rate of time- and-one-half. This amount will be paid in addition to compensation for actual time worked when the employee is called to work from standby status. The time worked shall also be paid at the FLSA overtime rate of time-and-one-half. General Unit Call-Back Pay: An employee cannot be in standby status and call-back status at the same time. Employees not formally assigned to standby status may still be called back to work. If reached by their supervisor and called back to work, the employee will be paid for actual hours of work at the FLSA overtime rate of time-and-one-half unless the employee has worked less than 40 hours in the work week due to use of paid or unpaid sick time. In such cases, the employee will be paid straight time. Department Heads may, however, pay at the FLSA overtime rate of time-and-one half regardless of sick time taken in unusual circumstances at their discretion. An employee called back to work shall be paid for a minimum of one and one-half hours of work. The General Unit employees covered by this MOU are not so severely restricted in their activities while in standby status as to be "working while 'on call' H as that term is used in the Fair Labor Standards Act 29 CFR 785.17. Departments and Divisions which utilize call-back/standby will prepare a list of qualified employees. Department/Division Heads will consider the following factors in establishing and maintaining call-back and standby lists: employee seniority; special qualifications; skills; and/or voluntary work assignments. For Departments and Divisions assigning call-back and standby on a rotation basis, only the employee who appears first on the list may reject an assignment to call-back or standby. Rejecting an assignment will automatically place the first employee at the bottom of the list. The employee listed next must take the assignment. Departments and Divisions may use procedures that vary from the above, if the procedures are: (1) consistent with Department/Division work rules; or, (2) implemented as a result of an emergency situation. ....,......,.~?!.tmt~,~P!?r~.s.~~~s,.~1J~~~iim: ,.rtI.11__!'J.lf~lijif\!.!a.I """'..'.wlliC..'..'... .."''''iiijj'M~,,~,"''''''.''''''.~_:n: ,II... .,......... 11'..."=".....'."..'."..'."'....,,_.0. ::!::R!t.:;~;;;.:~.:.;.::..;I:t.;,;.:.;.;j~e~e~!:d9mn~t&Mt1.:;:~:~sf.L;::.~~:~;,<JSI;.~,,4:Aain!HBJ!&9:!!1!2~fi!t~t@ General Unit MOU 19 RES 96-87 IIlU1' The three (3) hours' compensation is and will be paid as time worked and at the appropriate straight time, or where applicable, at the FLSA overtime rate.

PuJlXlse: The education tuition assistance program has been established to encourage the employees of the City to take college courses and special training courses which will better enable them to perform their present duties and prepare them for increased responsibilities, and to provide financial assistance to eligible employees for education and training. B. Procedures: Employees will submit copies of their approved applications to the Personnel Department according to City policies and procedures. Employees must include official verification of their final grades, with appropriate receipts for tuition costs. These will be returned to employees upon request. Applications not submitted to the Personnel Department according to City policies following completion of the course become void. C. Eligibility: 1. Applications for tuition reimbursement will be considered only from full- time, regular employees, who have completed probation. 2. Reimbursement is not authorized for courses for which the employee is receiving financial assistance from other sources such as the GI Bill, scholarships and similar sources. General Unit MOU 25 RES 96-87 3. Applications will be approved only for courses directly related to the employee's job or directly related to a promotional position in the employee's job or directly related to a promotional position in the employee's occupational specialty. 4. Courses not ostensibly related to the employee's job, but which are required to qualify for a degree that is directly related to his/her job may be reimbursable only after all required occupationally-related courses have been completed. (For example, a Fire Engineer is a candidate for an AA degree in Fire Science and has completed all course work directly related to fire suppression duties. A course in American history is required for the degree. The history course may qualify for tuition reimbursement because the degree is related to the employee's job.) 5. Approval will be limited to courses given by accredited colleges and universities, city colleges or adult education courses under the sponsorship of the Board of Education. No mail-order courses will be approved. Workshops, seminars, conferences and similar activities not identifiable as a formal course of instruction within the curriculum of a recognized educational institution, do not fall within the purview of this program, but may be authorized and funded by the department upon approval of the City administrator. D. Reimbursement: 1. Reimbursement will be for the cost of tuition or registration fees and the required textbook(s) for each course, subject to the limits found in this article. Additional expense such as meals and parking fees are not reimbursable. The Director of Personnel will recommend approval or disapproval based on the availability of budgeted funds for education tuition assistance. 2. Costs for required texts are eligible for 50% reimbursement. The employee may retain the books. 3. Tuition or registration costs of $25 or less are eligible for 1 ()() % reimbursement.

One quarter unit shall equal two-thirds (2/3) of one (1) "semester" unit. 6. Prior to receiving reimbursement, employees must submit documentary proof of their [mal grades. If objective ratings are not rendered for a specific course, then a General Unit MOU 26 RES 96-87 certificate of successful completion must be submitted. 7. When an employee is required by his/her Department Head to attend a particular course or seminar, the expense shall be borne entirely by the department, and outside of this article. Section 4 Parkin!! Facilities The City agrees to meet and confer with the Union in the event there are any future costs imposed upon employees for parking. IIlliXl!_L.;m. -- ARTICLE V LEAVES Section 1 Vacations A.

General Unit MOU 27 At the time of voluntary and involuntary termination of employment, an employee shall be entitled to receive compensation for the number of vacation hours which have been accrued but not used. In the event said employee has been permitted to take vacation which exceeds the number of hours actually accrued, a deduction shall be made from the employee's [mal compensation for the number of hours in excess of the accrual. B. The amount of accrual shall not exceed the specified number of hours granted per year. C. Employees shall not be permitted to work in their City position in lieu of taking vacation in order to receive additional compensation. D. Vacation credits may be accrued and accumulated up to a maximum of two (2) years total accumulated vacation credits upon approval of the Department Head, as per the employee's rate of accrual. Vacations or portions thereof from a prior year may be taken consecutively with vacations or portions thereof of a succeeding year, subject to the approval of the Department Head. Except as approved by the Department Head, no vacation or portion thereof from a prior year shall run consecutively with the vacation of a succeeding year; and, a period of three (3) or more months should normally elapse between the expiration of one year's vacation and the commencement of the next year's vacation. Requests to utilize accrued vacation shall be submitted in writing on City approved forms to the Department Head. Departments Heads shall respond to vacation requests submitted on City approved forms within five (5) work days. Department Heads shall not unreasonably delay responses to employee vacation requests. Nothing in this article shall be construed to prevent a response to the employee's request before the expiration of five (5) work days. The vacation period to which any employee shall be entitled shall be assigned by the Department Head in the calendar year when due, except when the Department Head, with the approval of the Mayor, determines that an emergency or other valid factors prevent the employee from utilizing his/her vacation during the calendar year when due. Should this occur, the employee's vacation should be rescheduled at the very earliest mutually acceptable date. E. Upon termination, payment for earned vacation or deduction for unearned vacation, shall be made on the basis of the hourly rate of pay being received by the employee on the date of termination. F. Whenever the terms "year" or "years of employment" appear herein, they shall be deemed to include all services for the City, San Bernardino City Board of Water Commissioners and the San Bernardino Free Public Library Board. G. The employee shall not lose any vacation time off due to action by the City. General Unit MOU 28 H. Vacation credits may be taken off in increments according to Department Work Rules, with prior Department Head approval. I. When an employee returns to work after a break: in "continuous service," and when such break: in "continuous service" shall have been by leave of absence with the approval of the Mayor and Common Council, vacation time shall not accrue during such break: in "continuous service," but shall accrue monthly from the date of return to service from such approved leave of absence, based upon the total length of service of the employee. Section 2 Holidays A. City Designated Holidays: Employees shall be entitled to 11 City-designated holidays, the equivalent of 88 holiday hours, each year. The following days will be holidays for the purpose of this MOU: New Year's Day Martin Luther King, Jr. Day Memorial Day Independence Day Labor Day Traditional Veteran's Day (November 11) Thanksgiving Day Day After Thanksgiving Christmas Eve Day Christmas Day New Year's Eve Day Plus 16 hours of Holiday Account time, per year (see subsection B). All full-time employees within the bargaining unit, with the exception of those employees shown in the following paragraphs, shall be allowed the above holidays at full pay when such holidays occur within the regularly assigned working periods provided they are in a paid status during any portion of the working day immediately preceding or succeeding the holiday. If it becomes necessary for an employee to work on any of the above-mentioned holidays, except as provided herein, he/she shall receive pay at the regular rate and shall be allowed another day off at full pay, as approved by the Department Head. B. Holiday Account: Effective each January 1st, unit employees will receive 16 hours in their Holiday Account (formerly known as Floating Holidays). Employees may have more than 16 hours accrued in their holiday account, but may only carry over a total of 16 hours of holiday time to the next calendar year. Any holiday account hours over 16 hours on General Unit MOU 29 RES 96-87 December 31st of each year, will be lost hours. If a holiday falls on a nine- or ten-hour work day, the employee will be paid eight (8) hours holiday pay. The employee may supplement the holiday with accrued vacation, holiday account time, or no pay. Each Department Head shall consider employees' requests for scheduling the 16 holiday account hours, per calendar year, provided however, the final right to allot the hours to be observed is reserved exclusively to the Department Head. The Department Head will not unreasonably withhold permission to take time off. On City-designated holidays, new employees with less than six (6) months of continuous service with the City will receive eight (8) hours of holiday pay and will be able to "draw down" one or two hours from their holiday account, depending upon whether they are working a 9/80 or a 4/10 schedule. They may also elect to take one (1) or two (2) hours of no pay. If new employees elect to "draw down" from the holiday account, the hours used will be deducted from the 16 holiday account hours they receive upon the completion of six (6) months of continuous service. In the event of the employee's failure for any to take such holiday account hours during the term of this MOU, the employee shall be paid for his/her holiday account balance, upon separation from the City. C. Other Provisions: Employees who, due to scheduling, must work on a recognized City holiday, will be compensated on the basis of the number of hours worked on said holiday, excluding lunch/dinner break. The hours accruing to the employee's holiday account for that day shall not exceed eight (8) hours. If a holiday occurs on a normal day off for an employee, the employee shall receive no additional pay. The decision as to whether in-lieu of time off or pay is to be received shall be based on the availability of funds and needs of the department, as determined by the Department Head. If in-lieu of time off is directed by the Department Head, it may be added to the regular annual vacation period, but must be taken within one (1) year of the date in-lieu time was earned. Employees of the Public Services, Refuse Division, except clerical employees, and certain designated employees of the City Garage needed to support the Public Services, Refuse Division operations, shall enjoy all the holidays listed above as they occur, except for: Veteran's Day, November 11; the Friday after Thanksgiving Day; and, the holidays observed the day before Christmas and the day before New Year's Day. Said employees shall receive an additional day's pay for each such holiday on which they are required to work. If such holidays General Unit MOU 30 RES 96-87 occur on a normal day off for said employees, they shall receive no additional pay. Holidays listed above shall be allowed on a Monday, if any such holiday falls on Sunday, and shall be allowed on the preceding Friday, if such holiday falls on a Saturday, for all employees except those covered by other provisions herein. If the Christmas and New Year holidays occur on Mondays, these holidays and the holiday eves will be observed on Mondays and Tuesdays. At the beginning of each calendar year, the City will determine how many of the above holidays fall on a regularly scheduled day off. An employee working on a 9/80 or a 4/10 schedule will accrue the equivalent number of hours of holiday time ("holiday account") with one (1) holiday equivalent to eight (8) hours. Holidays earned in any 12-month period may not be accumulated beyond that total number of holidays allowed each year by the MOU. ~~~Iq ._I.;t~ .- Section 4 Sick Leave A.

Not more than 40 hours of sick leave within any calendar year may be approved for an employee for each absence for purposes of attending the funeral of a member of the employees' immediate family. The City may require an employee to submit evidence of eligibility to use sick leave for purposes of attending the funeral of a member of the employee's immediate family. General Unit MOU 31 RES 96-87 Sick Leave Usage for Emo1oyees: Upon the department's request, an employee must provide a physician's statement to justify a sick leave of 40 consecutive hours or longer. If the Department Head finds with just cause that sick leave is being abused, the employee may be required to submit a doctor's statement. .-J and Common Council shall have the power to require that any person claiming the sick leave benefits of this MOD be examined at any reasonable time or intervals by a designated physician, and in the event of an adverse report, to reject such claim for sick leave, in whole or in part, and to terminate sick leave compensation. In the event of the refusal of any person to submit to such examination after notification, the Mayor and Common Council may terminate sick leave compensation and reject any claim therefor. The Mayor or Common Council shall have the right to require the presentation of a certificate from a practicing physician or a designated physician stating that an employee is physically or psychologically able to perform his/her work and duties satisfactorily before permitting an employee who has been on sick leave to return to work. In order to receive compensation while absent on sick leave, employees shall notify their immediate supervisor or designee prior to, or within 30 minutes of, the time set for beginning their daily duties, or as may be specified in Department/Division work rules. Sick leave with pay shall be granted to all regular employees and to all temporary full-time employees whose positions are funded under federal law who are regularly employed in permanent or federally-funded positions, if such benefit is required by said federal law. Sick leave shall not be considered as a right which employees may use at their discretion, but shall be allowed only in case of necessity and actual personal sickness or disability, except as otherwise provided herein. Whenever an employee is compensated hereunder for sick leave or injury and has not had a vacation at the end of the current calendar year, the employee must take vacation not utilized due to illness or injury during the next calendar year. B. All full-time, regular employees who have completed the first six (6) calendar months of continuous service with the City shall be granted a sick leave accumulation of 48 hours.

Employees shall not accumulate sick leave while compensated under the provisions of Article V, Section 5. General Unit MOU 32 RES 96-87 Time off with pay for sick leave shall be considered as time worked for purposes of the accrual of sick leave only. Sick leave usage shall not be decreased by the fact that any legal holiday occurs during the time off on account of illness. The words "legal holiday" shall have the meaning ascribed to them in Article V, Section 2. Sick leave shall not accumulate during periods of leave of absence without pay. In the event an employee works less than 50% of the total normal work hours in the pay period, he/she shall accrue no sick leave for such pay period and shall not be credited with the 4.0 hours sick leave. Sick leave may be accumulated without limit. Approved vacation, sick leave, holiday or compensatory time off shall be considered as time worked for the purpose of computing sick leave benefits only.

For military leave when the employee has less than one (1) year service to qualify for leave with pay; F. For Union activities, upon designation by the Union. An approved leave of absence without pay for 60 days or less in any calendar year will not be considered a break in service. Leave in excess of 60 days shall result in the advancement of the employee's anniversary date and compensation advancement date to such date as will account for the total period of uncompensated time off. Failure to return to duty at the expiration of the approved leave of absence without pay shall constitute an abandonment of the position pursuant to Rule 507 of the Rules of the Civil Service Board and shall be prosecuted consistently therewith. The City's contribution towards an employee's health and life insurance premiums will not be extended beyond the last day of the month in which a leave of absence without pay begins General Unit MOU 35 RES 96-87 if the leave of absence without pay becomes effective during the fIrst 15 days of the month, nor beyond the last day of the next succeeding month if the leave of absence without pay becomes effective after the fIfteenth day of the month, unless the employee returns to work from a leave of absence without pay status prior to the date the City's contribution would be discontinued. In the event the employee desires to maintain full health and life insurance coverage while on Leave of Absence Without Pay status, he/she may arrange to pay the insurance premiums for the coverage desired (both the employee and employer portions). It is the responsibility of the employee to contact the City's payroll section in this regard. The payment of the amount of the premiums must be made to the City's payroll section prior to the date on which the City's participation will terminate. Payments must be made monthly thereafter until the employee either returns to work or his/her employment with the City is terminated. Upon an employee's return to work, the City's contribution towards the employee's health and life insurance premiums will begin on the fIrst day of the month following the end of the leave of absence without pay if that leave of absence without pay terminated between the first and the fIfteenth day of the month, or on the fIrst day of the next succeeding month if the leave of absence without pay terminates after the fifteenth day of the month. Notwithstanding any other provision of this section to the contrary, the City will continue its contribution for health and life insurance premiums of an employee on leave of absence due to any injury or illness arising out of and in the course of his/her employment with the City. In circumstances in which either the Federal Family Leave Act or the State Medical and Family Leave Act apply, the City shall adhere to the requirements of the Acts. Section 9 Witness Leave Employees shall only be entitled to a leave of absence when subpoenaed to testify as a witness in civil litigation involving the City, such subpoena being properly issued by a court, agency or commission legally empowered to subpoena witnesses. This benefIt shall not apply in any case in which the subpoenaed employee is a party to the action. Witness leave shall not be charged against any accumulated leave balances and shall be compensated at the employee's base hourly rate. Employees shall only be entitled to paid witness leave if they provide a copy of the subpoena to the City within 24 hours of receipt.

An employee shall be given at least thirty 30 days notice prior to layoff.
