the Department Head's decision is rendered, or should have been rendered, pursuant to the specified time period.
iii. Third Level- Advisory Arbitration.

To activate advisory arbitration, the grievant must, within time period specified above, present the grievance in writing to the Personnel Officer for further processing. Failure of the grievant to take this action will constitute a waiver and bar to further processing of the grievance.

1. The scope of advisory arbitration of grievances shall be limited to discharges, demotions, or reduction in pay, or suspensions of three (3} days or more without pay. The grievant may waive the right to go to advisory arbitration and instead go directly to the Fourth Level (City Manager). All other grievances shall bypass the third level of the grievance procedures and advance to the Fourth Level.

2. The Personnel Officer and the grievant shall request a list of five arbitrators from the California State Mediation and Conciliation Service.
a. By mutual agreement of the grievant and the City, advisory arbitration may be waived. In such case, the grievance
shall be reviewed by City Manager in accordance with the procedures outlined in Level 4.

3. An arbitrator shall be selected by the following procedure:
a. The grievant and I or a representative of the grievant, along with the City's representative, shall select the
arbitrator from the California State Conciliation Service list by eliminating names until one name remains. The one
remaining name shall be the arbitrator. All grievances
reaching the arbitration level shall be numbered
consecutively for the current fiscal year. The oddnumbered grievances will give the grievant first elimination; the even-numbered grievances will give the City first elimination.
b. Once the arbitrator has been selected, hearings shall commence at the convenience of the arbitrator. The
technical rules of evidence shall not apply during the
arbitration hearing.
c. The arbitrator shall be strictly bound by the time limits set forth in the grievance procedure and shall not entertain any grievance in which the grievant has not adhered to
such time limits.

d. Union members called as witnesses shall be scheduled to be released from duty to testify at the hearings. The
parties recognize that due to the essential nature of the services performed by the members, scheduling of time
for each member to testify at arbitration shall be in such a manner so that normal operations are not disrupted.
e. The jurisdiction of the arbitrator shall be confined to a determination of the facts and the interpretation of the provisions of the Memorandum of Understanding and I or
the Personnel Rules and Regulations. The arbitrator will have no power to add to, subtract from, or modify the
terms of any Agreement or the written policies, rules,
regulations and procedures of the employer.
f. Within thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the hearing, the arbitrator shall render an advisory decision in writing to the parties (including the City Manager).
g. The arbitrator's fees and expenses shall be paid by the City. All other costs shall be borne by the party incurring such expenses.
iv. Fourth Level- City Manager.

If the grievance is submitted to the City Manager for review and settlement, the Personnel Officer, in non-arbitrable cases, may elect the methods he I she considers appropriate for the study of the issues and shall render a written decision to the parties within fifteen (15) days. Notwithstanding the above, upon the grievant's request, the matter shall be submitted to mediation prior to the Personnel Officer's determination.

1. For all cases involving advisory arbitration recommendations, the Personnel Officer shall review the entire matter within fifteen (15) days after receipt of arbitrator's recommendations and render a decision.

2. The City Manager may amend, modify, or revoke the
recommendation of the arbitrator. This includes, but is not limited to, the City Manager's right to reduce or increase the degree and type of discipline imposed. In all cases, the decision of the City Manager shall be final and binding.
c. General Provisions
i. The grievant is entitled to representation of their choice at any point in the grievance procedure.

ii. Failure by the grievant to meet any of the specified time lines shall constitute a withdrawal and waiver of the grievance. Failure by the City to meet any of the specified time lines shall entitle the grievant to appeal to the next level of review.
iii. Since it is important that grievances be processed as rapidly as possible, the number of days indicated at each level shall be considered as maximum, and every effort should be made to expedite the process. If the last day of the specified time period falls on the weekend or a City observed holiday, it shall be moved to the next working day. Otherwise, the time specified may be extended only by mutual written consent. iv. Probationary employees may not grieve a rejection from probation. v. Union members shall be assured freedom from reprisal for using the grievance procedures.
vi. The Personnel Office shall act as a central repository for all grievance records.
vii. Any decision or finding involving an unbudgeted expenditure must be submitted to the City Council for ratification before that decision can become final and binding.
viii. Failure on the part of Union member or their representative to appear in any case before an arbitrator without good cause shall result in forfeiture of the case and responsibility for payment for all associated costs by the member.

ARTICLE 26 - OVERTIME
Union members are considered non-exempt employees for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 and its subsequent amendments (FLSA).

Overtime means all authorized hours worked by non-exempt members in excess of their normal work period, regular work week, work day, or shift, unless otherwise established in a manner consistent with law.

All non-exempt members who perform authorized overtime work shall be compensated for such work at the rate of one and one-half (1 1/2%) times their regular hourly rate of pay multiplied by the number of overtime hours worked. For the purposes of calculating overtime, all hours in a paid status shall be counted as hours worked.

No overtime shall be recorded or reported for less than one-quarter (11/4) hour of work. All overtime work, except for emergency conditions, must have the approval of the appropriate supervisor prior to actual performance of the work. Failure to obtain such approval in advance may be justification for disapproval of any overtime compensation and I or discipline.

The City shall use an overtime call list when assigning member’s overtime work. Said list shall be arranged by member’s classification in ascending order based on accumulated overtime hours worked as of the last pay period. When overtime is requested, the first union member listed in the appropriate classification shall be contacted. If the member is available to work, they will work the required time. If the member is not available or declines to work the overtime, the next member listed shall be called and so on until a member is available.

All Union members who decline overtime shall be charged with the actual hours worked in computing future call lists. The overtime call list will be updated each pay period and shall be posted for each member to review.

At the start of each fiscal year, the totals on the call list shall be reduced by the amount of hours credited to the first member listed in each classification.

For all members with an average regular work week of forty (40) hours, the monthly rate shall be the hourly rate times 2,080 divided by 12. For the term of this agreement, members will be assigned to a 9/80 schedule.

In certain instances, alternatives to the traditional work schedule for the convenience of the member may be appropriate. Such schedules may be installed under the following guidelines:

d. Safety record, including personal injury and damage to City property attributable to the Union member as determined by the City.

In the event a less senior Union member in a classification to be laid off has superior skills, abilities qualifications, merit, and record, the more senior employee shall be laid off.

Part-time Union members shall be granted seniority in proportion that their part-time employment bears to full-time employment with the City. Under no circumstances shall the City retain temporary employees in any Union member classification in which force reductions are in progress.

To the extent the provisions of this Article are inconsistent with Section 9, Layoff Procedures, of the Personnel Rules and Regulations Manual (PRRM), this Article will supersede. Otherwise, the process for implementation of a layoff, as described in Section 9 of the PRRM, shall govern.

Once determined that a layoff will occur, the City shall immediately let the Union know, along with the affected members.

Upon notification that a layoff will occur, the Union shall be provided with a list of affected positions and members. The Union shall have seven (7) days to request a Meet and Confer to discuss the effects of the layoff with the City.

ARTICLE 16 - EMPLOYEE DISCIPLINE
The City may initiate appropriate corrective action should a Union member engage in any practices inconsistent with published rules or with ordinary reasonable common sense rules of conduct conducive to the welfare of the City, its residents, and its employees. Corrective action may consist of warnings, reprimands, demotions, reductions in pay, disciplinary suspension or discharge and shall be applied only after full consideration of the seriousness of the offence.

All corrective suspension and discharges administered under this provision shall be subject to appeal to the City Council in accordance with the appeal process contained in this Agreement.

PERSONNEL FILE REVIEW AND WRITE UP REVIEW
Union members may request to have the final notice of a disciplinary action put into a separate, sealed folder when the member’s personnel file if three (3) years have passed since the date of the notice of final discipline and there have been no further occurrences of the same nature.

Requests to seal the record of a disciplinary action are subject to legal constraints and are subject to approval by the City Manager and City Attorney, each in their sole discretion. Union members desiring the sealing of a disciplinary action must make such request in writing to the City Manager. The decisions by the City Manager and City Attorney are not subject to appeal or the grievance procedure. If sealing is approved, the record of a disciplinary action will be placed into a separate folder, or the equivalent by electronic sealing methods, to ensure that the disciplinary action record can be reviewed solely by the City Manager or City Attorney, except for any review required by applicable law.

ARTICLE 17 - APPEAL TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Union members shall be entitled to appeal any disciplinary demotion, suspension, or termination to the City Council within fourteen (14) calendar days following the imposition of such disciplinary action unless appeal is specifically prohibited by provisions of the Barstow Municipal Code or by the City’s existing Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual. Furthermore, Union members seeking an appeal must submit the appeal in accordance with the City’s existing Policies and Procedures Manual. Any recommended discipline described in this section shall first be reviewed by the City Manager before a Union member is served with notice.

For disciplinary action involving termination or an unpaid suspension of eighty (80) hours or more, the disciplinary action shall be first subject to advisory arbitration. In such case, upon receiving an appeal, the City shall obtain a list of arbitrators from the State Mediation and Conciliation Service. The parties shall take turns striking names from the list, beginning with the party who wins a coin toss, until one remains. The remaining named person shall be the arbitrator in the matter and their decision shall be advisory and submitted to the City Council. The City Council shall then exercise its independent judgment in reviewing the disciplinary action. The City Council’s decision shall be final and binding. Each party shall pay 50% of the cost of arbitration.

The grievant and the City’s representative shall make every effort to resolve the grievance at the lowest level of supervision. Thus, the grievant shall attempt to discuss the grievance with the immediate supervisor before resorting to the Formal Grievance Procedure, below. However, if the grievant is unable to resolve the grievance informally before the time period for filing a Formal Grievance expires (15 days from the date the grievance allegedly occurred), the grievant may proceed to the Formal Grievance Procedure in accordance with the time limits therein.

technical rules of evidence shall not apply during the
arbitration hearing.
c. The arbitrator shall be strictly bound by the time limits set forth in the grievance procedure and shall not entertain any grievance in which the grievant has not adhered to such time limits.
d. Union members called as witnesses shall be scheduled to be released from duty to testify at the hearings. The parties recognize that due to the essential nature of the services performed by the members, scheduling of time for each
member to testify at arbitration shall be in such a manner so that normal operations are not disrupted.

The jurisdiction of the arbitrator shall be confined to a determination of the facts and the interpretation of the provisions of the Memorandum of Understanding and/or the Personnel Rules and Regulations.

f. Within thirty (30) days after the conclusion of the hearing, the arbitrator shall render an advisory decision in writing to the parties (including the City Manager).

ARTICLE 25 – PERFORMANCE BONUS
Performance Bonus: Union members who reach the top-step of their salary range or are y-rated will be eligible annually to receive a two percent (2%) performance bonus effective upon ratification of the contract (November 19, 2012). To qualify for the performance bonus, the member must receive a performance evaluation rating of satisfactory or better. Union members who meet that qualification will receive the two percent (2%) performance bonus. The performance bonus will be calculated by multiplying two percent (2%) by the employee’s annual salary. The performance bonus will be distributed as a one-time bonus payment subject to all applicable state and federal tax rates and will not increase the member’s annual salary. In the event that the member’s performance evaluation is not completed within forty-five (45) days of the member’s performance evaluation date, the member shall automatically receive the two percent (2%) performance bonus. Each member can receive the performance bonus on a payday of their choosing. However, the performance bonus must be paid out by the last complete payroll period of the fiscal year in which the performance bonus was awarded.

ARTICLE 26 - OVERTIME
Union members are considered non-exempt employees for purposes of the Fair Labor Standards Act of 1938 and its subsequent amendments (FLSA).

It is the policy of the City to avoid overtime work whenever possible. In cases of emergency, however, or whenever public interest or necessity requires, any employee may be directed by proper authority, and in such cases, is expected to perform overtime work.

All non-exempt members who perform authorized overtime work shall be compensated for such work at the rate of one and one-half (1 1/2) times their FLSA regular rate of pay multiplied by the number of overtime hours worked. For the purposes of calculating overtime, all hours in a paid status shall be counted as hours worked.

No overtime shall be recorded or reported for less than one-quarter (1/4) hour of work. All overtime work, except for emergency conditions, must have the approval of the appropriate supervisor prior to actual performance of the work. Failure to obtain such approval in advance may be justification for disapproval of any overtime compensation and/or discipline.

ARTICLE 27 - COMPENSATORY TIME
Union members may elect to take compensatory time in lieu of overtime pay. Compensatory time shall be administered based on the following provisions:
 Eligible members will accrue compensatory time at the rate of one and one-half (11/2) times the actual number of hours worked for those hours worked in excess of the members’ normal work period, regular work week, work day, or shift.  Compensatory time shall be reported and recorded in one-quarter (1/4) hour increments.  Except as provided for below, total accumulated compensatory time accrued shall not Deleted: base wage rate

The City shall provide an Industrial Injury Supplemental Wage Benefit Program for designated high-risk Union members.

Industrial Injury Supplemental Wage Benefits shall begin on the day following the date of occupational injury or illness and shall continue until the injured member is eligible for Worker's Compensation benefits or returns to active employment. In no event, however, shall Industrial Injury Supplement Wage Benefits continue past the end of the third day following the occurrence of an occupationally related illness or injury.

Industrial Injury Supplemental Wage Benefits shall be payable only on an member's regularly scheduled working day and may be used only during periods of occupationally related illness or injury not compensated under the California Worker's Compensation Law.

Union members hired after July 1, 2011 will be eligible to receive $120 per month (approximately $55.38 per pay period) as bilingual services pay.

ARTICLE 36 - RECLASSIFICATION
During the term of this Agreement, should any employee represented by the Union be reclassified to a position having a lower salary range, the Union member shall continue at their same salary and with the same merit salary increase eligibility date, provided such action does not result in a salary exceeding the maximum step of the salary range in which the new position is classified.

Should the member's current salary exceed the maximum step of the salary range in which the position is classified, the salary of such member shall be designated as “Y-rated” and shall not be increased through either general increase or merit increase until the maximum step of the salary range in which the position is classified exceeds the members actual salary.

ARTICLE 37: COURT TIME COMPENSATION POLICY
This article establishes compensation for members who are subpoenaed to appear in court as a witness in the course of their duties as a City employee, on a regularly scheduled day off, placed on standby at their residence, or otherwise restricted from freely using their non-working hours.

Union members affected by these conditions shall receive a minimum of four (4) hours of compensation at their applicable overtime rate, with calculations beginning at the actual court appearance time, except in the following cases:
 Graveyard Shift Dispatchers: Dispatchers working graveyard shifts who are subpoenaed to appear in court in the course of their duties as a City employee on the same day following the end of their shift shall receive a minimum of four (4) hours of compensation at their overtime rate.
o If their court appearance is scheduled for 8:30 a.m. or earlier, overtime calculation will begin immediately following the end of their graveyard shift. o If the court appearance is after 8:00 a.m., the calculation will begin at the actual court appearance time.
 Standby Status: Members placed on standby at their residence or otherwise restricted from using their off-duty hours shall receive a minimum of four (4) hours of compensation at their applicable overtime rate.

This provision ensures compliance with state and federal laws governing court-related compensation for members, including protections against retaliation for fulfilling legal obligations.
