EMPLOYER-EMPLOYEE RELATIONS
section 1
Recoqnition/Union Security
Exclusive recognition of the Union is acknowledged for
the purpose of meeting and conferring on wages, hours and
working
conditions, and
of general
representation of
employees within the unit of representation.
The class i-
fication titles of those general permanent employees in the
unit for which the Union has been recognized exclusively as
the majority representative are listed under section 10 of
City Resolution No. 6413 as amended, excluding therefrom
position and classification titles designated as manage-
ment/confidential, middle-management, or subsequently so
designated as determined solely 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 themselves, such member shall be
AFSCMEMOU-1989-92 GRJ:jr 052389

requested 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 provided continuous and un-interrupted
employee services. It is, therefore, further agreed that the
Union shall not, on behalf of itself 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 consti-
tuting 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
i .
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
AFSCMEMOU-1989-92 GRJ:jr 052389
- 9 -
GENERAL UNIT - MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
1989-1992 .
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
dUrin?
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
December 2, 1985, and those employees who thereafter become
members shall remain as members in good standing of said
Union for the duration of this M.O.U. except as provided for
in this article.
During the first full work week (Monday through Friday)
in April, a member may request, in writing, with an immediate
copy to the Union President, to withdraw his/her authoriza-
tion for dues deduction, which shall become effective in the
first payroll period in June.

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 organiza-
tion dues. In addition, the Union shall refund to the City
any amounts paid to it in error, upon presentation of sup-
porting evidence.
section 4
Grievance Procedure
Definition of employee grievance:
A grievance is an
alleged violation of the terms of the M.O.U. or of the laws,
ordinances, resolutions concerning or affecting wages, hours
or other conditions of employment. Whenever the grievance
procedure is used under this M.O.U., it will be the exclusive
remedy pursued.
As used
in this procedure, the term
immediate supervisor means the lowest level of supervisor not
within the general employee representation unit. When a
grievance exists, as defined above, a grievant may appeal in
accordance with the procedures set forth below.
There is
provided a mechanism for settling the grievance informally
with
the
immediate supervisor.
If this
proves un-
satisfactory, the grievance can be formally presented in
succession to a higher supervisor, then the division and/or
department head, the Director of Personnel, and, finally, to
the City Administrator who will be the ultimate authority.

PROCEDURAL STEPS FOR HANDLING OF GRIEVANCES:
A. An attempt shall be made to ascertain all facts and

employee and, if he/she desires, the designated Union repre-
sentative and a supervisor in the employee's chain of com-
mand, up to and including the division head. Presentation of
the grievance shall be made within 10 working days of the
incident causing the grievance or of the grievant's knowledge
of the incident's occurrence.

the employee and/or his/her designated representative within
10 working days of receipt of the written grievance and shall
deliver his/her answer, in writing, to the employee 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

- 12 -
, '
GENERAL UNIT - MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
1989-1992'
meet with the employee, and, if the employee desires, the
designated Union representative, within 10 working days after
receipt of the appeal and shall deliver his/her answer, in
writing, to the employee within the 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 10
working days from the date of delivery of said answer. The
city Administrator or his/her designated representative may
meet with the employee and, if the employee desires, the
designated Union representative, within 10 working days after
the receipt of the appeal and shall deliver his/her answer,
in writing, to the employee within the 10 working days after
the meeting.
(4) If the grievance is still not adjusted, the
parties may agree, within 30 working days, upon any mutually
acceptable impasse procedure, including but not limited to
mediation,
conciliation or
advisory
arbitration.
The
grievant must have the written approval or sign off of
his/her bargaining unit prior to invoking advisory arbitra-
tion submitted to the City Administrator.
The impartial
mediator, conciliator or advisory arbitrator
shall
be
selected jointly by the City and the aggrieved employee or,
if he/she desires, by his/her Union representative. The fees'
AFSCMEMOU-1989-92 GRJ:jr 052389

and expenses incurred as a result of requesting an impartial
mediator, conciliator or advisory arbitrator, to resolve the
issue shall be shared equally by the city and the employee or
the Union if the Union invokes arbitration.
(5)
If the
parties agree upon
a
mutually
acceptable impasse procedure but cannot agree upon an arbi-
trator, a list of 5 arbitrators shall be obtained from the
California State conciliation Service or other mutually
agreeable source and each party shall alternately strike one
from the list until only one name remains. The first party
to strike a name shall be determined by lot.
(6) The arbitrator shall have no authority to add
to, delete or alter any provisions of this M.O.U. or the
resolutions governing the employer-employee relations program
but shall limit his/her decisions to the application and
interpretation of the provisions therein.
(7) 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. Like-
wise, any adjustment not appealed by the employee or his/her
designated representative within the specified time limits
listed above shall be deemed settled on the basis of the last
City official's answer. Time lines as above may be extended
by mutual agreement only.

section 5
Union Reoresentation
When requested by an employee, a steward may investigate
any alleged or actual grievance in the jurisdiction to which
a steward has been assigned, or elsewhere in the city if
specifically requested by a grievant, and assist in its
presentation.
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,
upon notification to and with the approval of his/her
immediate supervisor and concurrence by his/her division or
department head.
Approval to investigate and process a
grievance will not be unreasonably withheld. The privilege
of a steward to leave his/her work during working hours,
without loss of time or pay, is subject to the understanding
that the time will be devoted to the proper handling of
grievances within the unit of representation, 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 re-
cognized within the city. A steward may be allowed leave of
AFSCMEMOU-1989-92 GRJ:jr 052389
- 15 -
GENERAL UNIT - MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

absence without pay by the Mayor and Common Council to attend
Union training courses and Union conventions if the depart-
ment head concurs.
A ratio of one steward for every 50 permanent employees
in the unit shall be recognized by the city. Any substantia-
ted 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.
Section 6

5. The employee shall have the right to respond either
orally or in writing within a reasonable time to the

(1) The personnel department shall keep and maintain an
AFSCMEMOU-1989-92 GRJ:jr 052389
- 18 -
GENERAL UNIT - MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

official personnel file for employees, which shall contain
all information relative to the employee.

pertaining to an employee which shall contain job-related
information only.
It shall be the supervisor's responsi-
bility to inform the, employee with a copy thereof, of any

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.

if authorized by the employee, shall have the right, upon
request, to review the contents of their official personnel

financial assistance to eligible employees for education and
training.
B. Procedures
The employee must gain course approval from the depart-
ment head and the Director of Personnel prior to the start
date of the course, to be eligible for reimbursement under
this program.
1. An employee who desires to seek tuition reimbursement
under the provisions of this section must complete, in
triplicate, an educational reimbursement form and submit it
to his/her department head for approval. Note that the
approval of the Director of Personnel (see 2 below) is also
required in advance--i.e., prior to the start date of the
course.
2. The department head will recommend approval or
disapproval based on job relatedness and availability of
budgeted funds for training and forward the educational
reimbursement from to the Director of Personnel for advance
approval.
3. The Director of Personnel will recommend approval or
disapproval and forward to the City Administrator for final
action. One copy will be returned to the employee; a copy
will be retained by the personnel department; and the trip-
licate will be returned to the department. It is necessary
that the applicant accomplish the procedures so far described
AFSCMEMOU-1989-92 GRJ:jr 052389
- 39 -
GENERAL UNIT - MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
1989-1992
in order to ascertain the eligibility of the intended course
of instruction for reimbursement under the provisions of this
article prior to the inception of the course.
4. The employee will submit his/her copy of the approved
application to the personnel department for reimbursement
within 3 months after completion of the course and final
grade has been received. The employee must include official
certification
of
his/her final grade with appropriate
receipts for tuition and textbook costs. These will be
returned to the employee upon request. Applications not
submitted to the personnel department within 3 months follow-
ing completion of the course become void.
c. Eliaibilitv

considered only from full-time, permanent personnel employees
who have completed probation.

pational 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 A.A. 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.)

registration fees and the required text book(s) for each
course, subject to the limits found in this
article.

5. Prior to receiving reimbursement, employees must
submit documentary proof of having received a grade of not
less than "B" for the course. If objective ratings are not
rendered for a specific course, than a certificate of suc-
cessful completion must be submitted.

credited colleges and universities, city colleges or adult
education courses under the sponsorship of the Board of
Education.
Workshops, seminars, conferences, and similar
activities not identifiable as a formal course of instruction
within the curriculum of a recognized educational institu-
tion, do not fall within the purview of this program but may
be authorized and funded by the interested department upon
