THE SALARYPLAN
Section1. Purpose
This Exhibit to Resolution No. 23-25 is enacted pursuant to Section 2.04.070(2) of the Cudahy Municipal Code to provide for the compensation of City officers and employees and to conform to the principle of equal pay for equal work. The City Manager will ensure equitable placement within the merit range and annual merit raises based on negotiated agreements and/or administrative policies. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of any individual employment agreement(s) shall control the compensation amounts described in this Salary Plan when determining the salary of individual employees under contract with the City.

Section 2. Basic Compensation Plan
The basic compensation plan for City officers and employees, as of the date of adoption of this Plan is hereby established as set forth in the Addendum, including the following:
1) Hourly Range Table
2) Association Range Table
3) Management/Confidential Range Table
4) Salary Schedule
The Salary Plan shall be referred to as the Salary Schedule which incorporates the allocation of ranges (defined in the range tables) to classifications, which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.

Range tables for the Cudahy Municipal Employees’ Association include five (5) steps with approximately 5% between steps.

Range tables for Management/Confidential/Department Directors include five (5) steps with approximately 5% between steps.

Range tables for Hourly employees consist of one (1) to three (3) steps with approximately 5% between steps.

Range tables for City Council Member and City Manager have one step (flat rate).

Page 564 of 681 ends

geographic area, based on the City’s financial ability to pay. Merit increases provide for annual pay increases annually for demonstrated positive work performance as documented on annual performance evaluations. Annual merit increases should generally follow one step increase per year until the final step. Any increases beyond one must be approved by the City Manager.

Section 4. Plan Maintenance
Increases to the Range tables and applied to the Salary Schedule are adopted and approved by the City Council via Resolution to amend the Salary Plan.

Such recommended increases are negotiated between the City and the Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees’ Association. The City Council may further take appropriate action to extend such increases to unrepresented Management/Confidential Employees, Appointed Officials including the City Clerk, City Treasurer, and City Manager, and positions appointed by the City Manager.

These actions help preserve appropriate compensation and prevent salary compression.

In addition to negotiated increases, the City may take steps to maintain the Salary Plan by conducting regularly scheduled salary reviews and/or intermittent salary reviews as determined by changes in the labor market, and the need to compete for talent and/or retain current employees.

Section 5. Additional Approved Increasesin Compensation and Changesto the Salary and Classification Plans
Miscellaneous Employees – (Cudahy Miscellaneous Employee’s Association)23 All members shall receive:
• A 3% increase to their base rate effective July 1, 2022; and • A 2.5% increase to their base rate effective July 1, 2023; and • A 2.5% increase to their base rate effective July 1, 2024.

to June 30, 2025.

ANALYSIS
The City of Cudahy’s labor negotiation representatives and the CMEA’slabor negotiations team conducted various discussions regarding the results of the classification and compensation study. The City and CMEA reached a tentative agreement on amending of the MOU.

Major items that have been tentatively agreed upon in the amendment of the MOU are as follows:
• Longevity Pay: This benefit is eliminated unless the employee is grandfathered in per guidelines in the MOU.
• New Salary Ranges: These ranges place employees at current market levels for their positions per the recent classification and compensation study. • Five Step Salary Ranges: The salary ranges will be condensed from 10 steps to 5 steps to match other comparable cities.
• Compensation Study: The City will conduct a compensation study every three years in order to compare our employee salaries to current salary markets.

The CMEA’s labor negotiations team worked very diligently with the City’s labor negotiations representatives to reach an agreement, which was developed with the intent to maintain a fair and reasonable level of salaries and benefits for CMEA members.

CONCLUSION
The City Council is requested to adopt a resolution, approving the amendment to the MOU between the City and the CMEA, with a term from July 1, 2022 to June 30, 2025, replacing the previous version of the MOU.

If the MOU is not approved, the terms and conditions of the previous MOU will remain in place, including all agreed upon salary increases.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
No new financial impact, it was approved and funded via upcoming fiscal budget.

VACATION
A. Basis of Accrual
Full-time employees covered by this Agreement shall accrue paid vacation leave on the following scheduled basis:

Page 591 of 681 ends

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2023-2025 8 B. Vacation Accrual
All employees shall be entitled to accrue vacation up to the amount earned during two full calendar years of employment. Department Heads shall encourage the taking of accrued vacation leave. If for some specific reason an employee wishes to accrue vacation leave in excess of the limits established herein, he/she must submit a request in writing to his/her Department Head listing this reason.

The Department Head and City Manager shall review and may grant such request if it is in the best interest of the City. The excess of the limit shall be determined by the Department Head and the City Manager. It is not the intent of this section to penalize an employee who is not able to utilize his/her accumulated vacation because of scheduling problems within the individual department.

Those employees who will have more than two years accumulation of vacation on the books at the end of the fiscal year will be notified two months prior to the end of the fiscal year to reduce their accrued vacation to the two year maximum. At the end of each calendar year, an employee may be entitled to be paid cash in lieu of accumulated vacation time provided that fifty (50) hours of accrued time remains on the books. A written request must be submitted to the City Manager by December 1 of each calendar year for the amount of hours to be paid in lieu of accumulated time on the books. When separation is caused by death of any employee, payment shall be made to the estate of such employee or, in applicable cases, as provided by the California Probate Code.

C. Effect of Holiday on Vacation Leave
In the event one or more authorized municipal holidays fall within a vacation leave, such holiday shall not be charged as vacation leave, but shall be credited as a holiday.

D. Effect of Leave of Absence on Accrual of Vacation Leave The granting of any leave of absence without pay exceeding fifteen (15) consecutive calendar days shall cause the employee's annual vacation earned during the calendar year to be reduced proportionately for each month or major portion of a month that the employee is on leave of absence without pay.

Year of Service Hours Per Year Monthly Accrual
0-5 80 6.7 Hrs.
6 -10 120 10.0 Hrs.
11+ 160 13.4 Hrs.

Page 592 of 681 ends

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2023-2025 9 E. Compensation for City Work During Vacation Prohibited Other than “exempt" employees, no person shall be permitted to work for compensation for the City in any capacity, except compensation for mandated court appearances, during the time of his/her paid vacation leave from City service. This clause shall not limit the City's right to recall an employee from vacation in the event of an emergency and place him/her on regular pay status.

F. Scheduling Vacation
An employee may take his/her annual vacation leave at any time during the year, contingent upon approval by his/her Department Head. An employee shall normally provide two weeks’ notice in advance of the day(s) he/she is requesting vacation time off. When a family emergency arises which necessitates the use of vacation time, an employee shall provide as much advance notice as possible considering the particular circumstances. The Department Head should consider an employee's length of service when assigning vacation periods. Vacation leave may be taken in a minimum of 30 minute increments.

G. Terminal Vacation Pay
An employee with regular status separating from City service, who has accrued vacation leave, shall be entitled to terminal pay in lieu of such vacation. No leave credit will be earned on terminal leave payments.

When separation is caused by death of any employee, payment shall be made to the estate of such employee or, in applicable cases, as provided by the Probate Code of the State.

SICK LEAVE
A. Accrual of Sick Leave
Employees shall be granted sick leave with pay at the rate based on the current number of hours the employee is regularly scheduled to work during a workday. For example, employees who are currently scheduled to work 10 hours during the workday will receive ten (10) hours of sick leave with pay for each full month of service. Any sick leave accrued but unused in any year shall be accumulated to a maximum accumulation of 480 hours.

Sick leave shall not be considered a right which an employee may use at his/her discretion but shall be allowed only in cases of actual sickness or non-job incurred disability, or in the event of a personal necessity, making it impossible for the employee to perform his/her normal work assignments. Sick leave usage for personal necessities other than sickness or disability is allowed to a maximum of twelve (12) days (96 hours) per fiscal year with advanced Department Head approval. Sick leave may also be used for scheduled doctor, dental and optometry appointments, when advanced Department Head approval has been received.

Page 593 of 681 ends

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2023-2025 10 B. Proof of Illness
In order to receive compensation while absent from duty on sick leave, the employee must notify his/her immediate supervisor prior to the time set for the beginning of his/her regular duties. The Department Head may request a certificate issued by a licensed physician or other satisfactory proof of illness before sick leave is granted. Sick leave with pay in excess of three (3) consecutive working days shall be granted only after presentation of a written statement by a physician certifying that the employee's condition prevented him/her from performing the duties of the position. Employees shall be required to complete a leave compensation form when returning to work after utilizing sick leave. Violation of sick leave privileges may result in disciplinary action and/or loss of pay when in the opinion of the Department Head the employee has abused such privileges.

C. Effect of Leave of Absence on Sick Leave Accrual
The granting of any leave of absence without pay exceeding fifteen (15) consecutive calendar days shall cause the employees' normal rate of sick leave accumulation to be extended by the number of calendar days for which such leave of absence has been granted less the first fifteen calendar days of such leave. Observed holidays occurring during sick leave shall not be counted as a day of sick leave.

D. Sick Leave Buy-Back
On July 1 of each year, employees may sell back at 100% value of the maximum 120 hours of sick leave that they have accrued but did not utilize during the previous fiscal year. This is subject to the condition that an employee must leave at least 80 hours of sick leave on the books prior to being eligible for any sick leave buy back. Sick leave buy-back shall be based on the employee's actual rate of pay on June 30 of the fiscal year in which it was accumulated. Employees who are eligible to sell back unused sick leave retain the option of maintaining all or a portion of their accumulated sick leave on the books. Upon retirement from employment with the city, all accumulated sick leave is eligible to be sold back at 100% value of the maximum of 160 hours of sick leave that they have accrued but did not utilize based on the employee's rate of pay at the time of separation.

BEREAVEMENT
Whenever a full-time employee is compelled to be absent from duty by reason of death or critical illness (where death appears imminent) of members of the employee's immediate family (father, mother, brother, sister, spouse, children, mother-in-law, father-in-law, grandmother, grandfather, or grandchildren) such person shall be entitled to bereavement leave with pay up to four (4) working days. The employee shall furnish satisfactory evidence of such death or critical illness to his/her Department Head. Bereavement leave shall not be allowed in any case where in the preceding six (6) calendar months, a leave on the grounds of critical illness of that same relative has been granted. Absences under this Section shall not

Page 594 of 681 ends

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2023-2025 11 be charged against sick leave.

INDUSTRIAL
A. Any employee who is compelled to be absent from duty on account of an on-the-job injury or illness which, by the determination of the Administrative Officer, would be compensated under Worker's Compensation Laws of the State of California had the absence extended to the seventh day or which thereafter is compensated under Workers' Compensation Laws, shall be entitled to receive the difference between any disability compensation due him under Workers' Compensation Laws and his/her salary, provided that such benefits shall not be paid for longer than twelve (12) months in the aggregate for any one such injury or illness.

B. Sick leave shall not be charged during absence as set forth in Section A above.

C. Neither sick leave nor vacation shall be accumulated during absence set forth in Section A above.

D. Any employee who claims or receives the benefits provided in this section shall furnish to the City Manager or designee satisfactory evidence of his/her right to receive such benefits, as well as verification of the amount of the disability compensation he/she has received or is entitled to receive.

TEMPORARY DISABILITY LEAVE
Upon submission of an appropriate certificate from a licensed physician, an employee may be granted temporary disability leave. The employee utilizing temporary disability leave may utilize all sick leave accredited to him/her and upon the expiration of sick leave, may utilize any accredited annual vacation leave. When both sick leave and annual vacation leave credit are exhausted, the remainder of the absence required will be on the basis of leave without pay. If leave without pay is utilized, no accruals of leave or benefits will be credited to the employee. The leave without pay will constitute a break in continuous service with the City, unless the City Manager authorizes otherwise.

PREGNANCY DISABILITY LEAVE
Employees may continue in employment during pregnancy, subject to the City Rules and Regulations, and relevant State and Federal Laws.

An employee who is disabled because of pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition is entitled to an unpaid leave for up to the number of hours she would normally work within four calendar months (one-third of a year or 17 1/3 weeks). Requests for pregnancy disability leave must be submitted in writing with reasonable advance notice of the medical need for the leave. All leaves must be confirmed in writing, have an agreed-upon specific date of return, and be submitted to Human Resources.

If pregnancy disability leave is required, the employee shall provide a certificate in writing from a licensed

Page 595 of 681 ends

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2023-2025 12 physician which shall advise the City that: the employee is disabled from working by pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition; 2) the date on which the employee became disabled by pregnancy, childbirth, or a related medical condition; and 3) the estimated duration or end date of the leave.

MILITARY LEAVE
Military leave with pay shall be granted in accordance with applicable state and federal law.

JURY DUTY
When called to jury duty, an employee, having provided at least five working days written notice, shall be entitled to his/her regular compensation provided he/she deposits his/her fees for service with the City.

Employees released early from jury duty shall report to their supervisor for assignment for the duration of the shift. Employees shall be entitled to keep mileage reimbursement pay while on jury duty.

LEAVE OF ABSENCE WITHOUT PAY
A leave of absence without pay may be made by an employee who has exhausted all accrued leave balances. The City Manager may consider an extended leave of absence as a reasonable accommodation and/or whether such an extended leave of absence would present an undue hardship on the City, following an interactive process when the unpaid leave involves a serious health condition and disability. For non-medical requests, the City Manager will evaluate the nature of the request, and impact on the City, and may grant a non-medical leave of absence not to exceed one year. The procedure in requesting an extension shall be the same as that in requesting the original leave provided that the request for the extension is made no later than fourteen (14) calendar days prior to the expiration of the original leave.

Page 597 of 681 ends

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2023-2025 14 OVERTIME
It is the policy of the City of Cudahy to avoid the necessity for overtime work whenever possible. However, in cases of emergency, or whenever public interest or necessity requires, any employee may be directed by designated authority and is expected to perform overtime work. Under such circumstances, management will seek volunteers to perform overtime work. In the event that no volunteers step forward, a draft of employees shall take place and be based upon seniority. All overtime work, with the exception of emergency conditions, must have the approval of the City Manager prior to the actual performance of work. Failure to obtain such approval may subject the employee to disciplinary action up to and including termination. Only non-exempt employees are eligible to receive overtime pay.

Except as stated herein, for all workweeks in which there is no designated holiday that falls during the workweek or a day in which the employee is sent home due to an unexpected City closure, or by management due to lack of work or an act of God, the employee shall be eligible for overtime pay (time and one half the employee's regular rate of pay as that term is used in the Fair Labor Standards Act) for time worked over 40 hours per workweek. In a workweek where there is a designated holiday that falls during the workweek or a day in which the employee is sent home due to an unexpected City closure, or by management due to lack of work or an act of God and is thus unable to work their regularly scheduled shift, and the employee has not taken any time off or leave during that same week (e.g. vacation, sick or other personal leave), the employee shall be eligible for overtime pay (time and one half) for time worked beyond the employee's scheduled shift(s) during that workweek.

A. The City of Cudahy has enacted a special provision internally for non-exempt employees to provide compensatory time off in lieu of monetary overtime compensation at a rate of one and one-half (1 1/2) hours for compensatory time for each hour of overtime worked.

B. Exempt Classified Staff Employees - Are paid a salary that reflects the full responsibility of the position, including being on-call or being called back to work, and are not eligible to receive overtime, On-Call or Call-Back pay.

C. Non-exempt Classified Staff Employees - May be required to be available and/or to work outside the regular schedule. The two types of status and pay related to those circumstances are On-Call (Standby) and Call-Back.

D. Overtime Pay for Saturdays, Sundays and Holidays - When an employee is not regularly scheduled to work on Saturdays and Sundays, the employee shall receive overtime pay (time and one half) for all time worked on those days. When an employee works on a designated City holiday, the employee shall receive overtime pay (double time) for all time worked on the holiday.

E. Consent to Work Overtime - The City does not require notice to or consent from employees when

Page 598 of 681 ends

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2023-2025 15 scheduling overtime hours. The City shall provide an employee with as much advance notice as possible of a work schedule change in those situations where the City wants to avoid placing an employee into overtime status. This advance scheduling allows the City to avoid the overtime situation by readjusting the workday and by scheduling time off for the employee so that the employee's time worked does not exceed 40 hours within the workweek.

F. At the City Manager's Discretion, payment of overtime may be approved on a case- by-case basis.

COMPENSATORY TIME OFF
Compensatory time off is an alternative method of overtime payment to non-exempt employees. In lieu of paying a non-exempt employee for overtime worked, employees may be granted compensatory time off at the overtime rate of one and one half (1 ½) for each hour of overtime worked. Employees shall have the option of receiving overtime pay for any overtime worked. Use of earned compensatory time off must be approved in advance by the Department Head or designee. The maximum accrual limit for compensatory time off is 120 hours.

ON-CALL (STANDBY) PAY
On-Call (Standby) status is a designated shift within any 24 consecutive hours. Such shifts may vary in beginning and ending times from department to department, and are subject to change by administrative decision as dictated by work load needs. On-Call shift hours usually coincide with regular shift hours. Any Classified Staff employee may be assigned to an On-Call status, which requires the employee to be accessible, available, and able to report for duty if called.

Department Heads are responsible for determining the need for On-Call availability and for assigning Classified Staff employees to On-Call status. The supervisor of the employee assigned to On-Call status shall maintain a roster of all qualified employees who may be required to be On-Call. An equitable rotation policy shall be followed in requiring employees to be On-Call.

On-Call pay will be provided for assigned On-Call shifts. The minimum On-call pay per 24-hour period shall be 2 hours. These 2 hours shall not be considered towards overtime or compensated time. The employing department will choose a single level of accrued compensatory time that will be provided to all non-exempt employees in On-Call Status.

CALL BACK PAY
Call back duty occurs when an employee is unexpectedly ordered by the department to return to duty following the termination of his/her normal shift or is working prior to his/her regularly scheduled shift. An employee called back to duty shall be paid a minimum of two (2) hours compensation at the overtime rate commencing when he/she reports for duty.

Page 599 of 681 ends

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2023-2025 16 A nonexempt Classified Staff employee who is called back to work from On-Call status or otherwise at a time not previously scheduled shall receive compensatory time as follows:
a) A minimum of two (2) hours of compensatory time at rate equal to time and one-half the regular hourly pay rate even when the time actually spent back on the job is less than two (2) hours. b) Compensatory time for actual hours worked at time and one-half the regular hourly pay rate, if hours worked exceeds two (2).
c) Actual hours worked for Call-Back purposes means only that time spent at the work site. Time spent in route to or from the work site is not included as time worked. d) Call-Back is mandatory and employee must return to work within a reasonable time frame (2 hours).
e) Employees shall be contacted based on a rotating schedule.

Compensatory time off can only be used in lieu of pay for Call-Back time worked in accordance with Cudahy overtime policies.

BILINGUAL PAY
A. City departments may request a bilingual pay stipend for an employee based on the employee's use of a non-English language as part of his/her regular job duties. Requests may be made on the basis of oral translation duties only or oral and written translations. Requests are reviewed by Human Resources to determine whether there is a need for the bilingual skills based on the employee's job duties. If the request is approved by Human Resources, the employee must pass the examination described below.

B. Human Resources is responsible for the development of examination content and rating criteria to evaluate an employee's ability to speak or write a non-English language. The examination may be administered by employees who have already been certified in that language, under the direction of Human Resources, or by an outside vendor selected by Human Resources.

C. Approved and certified employees shall be compensated with a bilingual pay stipend in the amount of $75.00 per month for oral translation duties, and $125.00 per month for oral and written translations.

HEALTH INSURANCE
The City shall contribute towards health insurance benefits as listed below:

A) Medical Insurance: the City shall contribute toward the coverage of employees and their dependents in the medical insurance program available through the Public Employee's Retirement System as provided for under the Public Employee's Medical and Hospital Care Act as follows:

Effective Upon MOU Adoption:

SUBSTANCE ABUSE POLICY
The City of Cudahy and the Association have a vital interest in maintaining safe, healthful, and efficient

Page 604 of 681 ends

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2023-2025 21 working conditions. Being under the influence of a drug or alcohol on the job may pose serious safety and health risks not only to the user but to co-workers and the citizens of Cudahy. The possession, use or sale of an illegal drug or of alcohol on the job also poses unacceptable risks for safe, healthful, and efficient operations. "On the job" means while on City premises, at work locations, or while on duty or being compensated on an "on call status."
The City of Cudahy and the Association recognize that their future is dependent on the physical and psychological well-being of all employees. The City and the Association mutually acknowledge that a drug and alcohol-free work environment benefits Cudahy's employees and citizens.

The purpose of this section is to define the City's drug and alcohol policy as well as the possible consequences of policy violation.

A. Possession, sale, use or being under the influence of drugs or alcohol while on the job is strictly prohibited.

B. When reasonable suspicion exists that the employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol on the job, the City may require an employee to submit to a drug/alcohol examination, including, but not limited to, a substance screening. Substance screening means the testing of urine or other body fluids as reasonably deemed necessary by a physician to determine whether an employee has a restricted substance in their system.

1. Reasonable suspicion is cause based upon objective facts sufficient to lead a reasonably prudent supervisor to suspect that an employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol so that the employee's ability to perform the functions of the job is impaired or so that the employee's ability to perform his/her job safely is reduced.

2. Post-accident testing under this Article shall be conducted based on reasonable suspicion as defined in this Section and shall not be automatic, unless as required by law per Department of Transportation (DOT) Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Regulations (FMCSA).

C. Any manager or supervisor requesting an employee to submit to a substance screening shall document in writing the facts constituting reasonable suspicion and shall give the employee a copy. The employee shall be given an opportunity to provide additional facts. An employee who is then ordered to submit to a substance abuse screening may request to be represented. Because time is of the essence in substance screening, a representative must be available within a reasonable time, or the employee will then be ordered to submit to substance screening. An employee who refuses to submit to a substance screening may be considered insubordinate and shall be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination.

D. The supervisor, or designee, shall transport the suspected employee to the testing facility. Testing

Page 605 of 681 ends

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2023-2025 22 shall occur on City time and be paid for by the City. Employee urine samples, or other body fluids, will be by a certified system which includes methods or mechanisms designed to assure the integrity of the sample. The facility used for testing shall be certified by the National Institute on Drug Abuse and comply with established guidelines for "chain of custody" to ensure that the identity and integrity of the sample is preserved throughout the collecting, shipping, testing and storage process.

E. Any positive test for alcohol or drugs will be confirmed by a scientifically sound method. An employee who tests positive on a confirmatory test will be given the opportunity to discuss the results with a physician to be designated by the City. The employee should be prepared at that time to show proof of any valid medical prescription for any detected substance or to otherwise explain a positive test result, if he or she so chooses.

F. While use of medically prescribed medications and drugs is not per se a violation of this policy, this policy shall establish that no employee shall operate a City vehicle or dangerous machinery or equipment while taking any kind of medication or drugs which are clearly marked that they may cause significant drowsiness or impair an employee's performance. An employee shall notify his/her supervisor, before beginning work, when taking such medications or drugs. In the event there is a question regarding an employee's ability to safely and effectively perform assigned duties while using such medications or drugs, clearance from a physician designated by the City may be required. The City reserves the right to send an employee home on sick leave under these circumstances.

G. Employees with substance abuse problems are encouraged to participate voluntarily in the Citysponsored Employee Assistance Program (EAP). Assistance through the EAP may be sought by an employee with complete confidentiality and without adverse consequences to his/her employment.

Employees should be aware, however, that a request for assistance through the EAP will not insulate the employee from disciplinary action already contemplated. Depending upon the facts surrounding the reasonable suspicion determination, positive test result, and/or other violation of this policy or other City/department rules and regulations, the City may refer an employee to the EAP. Such referral could, at the discretion of the City, be made available to the employee as an alternative to disciplinary action.

Referral would be subject to agreement by the employee to enroll, participate in and successfully complete rehabilitation and/or counseling program and other terms and conditions in a "Last Chance Agreement."

1. It is the City's intent to use the EAP option for first offenders except the City reserves the right to discipline for those offenses, which are a significant violation of City/department rules and regulations or where violation did or could have resulted in serious injury or property damage.

2. Consequences of a Positive Controlled Substance and/or Alcohol Test. A covered employee who tests positive for a controlled substance and/or alcohol may be subject to disciplinary action,

Page 606 of 681 ends

Cudahy Miscellaneous Employees' Association - Memorandum of Understanding 2023-2025 23 up to and including termination from employment.

As a result of a positive controlled substance and/or alcohol random test, a temporary non-safety sensitive job assignment for an employee who is removed from the performance of safety sensitive duties or who is restricted from driving non-commercial City vehicles, may be approved by the department head based on the availability of meaningful work to meet operational need.

An employee must use accrued leave time or request personal leave of absence without pay if time off from work is necessary for any treatment or rehabilitation program. The costs of rehabilitation or treatment services, whether or not covered by the employee's medical plan, are the ultimate responsibility of the employee.

PEACEFUL PERFORMANCE
Apart from and in addition to existing restrictions upon work stoppages, the Association hereby agrees that neither it nor its officers, agents, or representatives shall incite, encourage, or participate in any strike, sympathy strike, walkout, slowdown, speedup, sick-out, or other work stoppage during the life of this Agreement for any cause or dispute whatsoever, either with the Association or with any other person or organization. In the event of work stoppage as enumerated above, the Association, its officers, agents, and representatives shall do everything within their power to end or avert the same. The City reserves its rights to exercise all available legal and equitable remedies in the event of a violation. Any employee engaging in or assisting any work stoppage as enumerated above, or refusing to perform duly assigned services in violation of this Article, shall be subject to discipline up to and including termination. The City reserves the right to selectively discipline employees hereunder.

It is understood that violation of this Article by the Association will warrant the withdrawal of any rights, privileges or services provided for in this Agreement and/or legal action by the City of redress.

The inclusion of this Article in this agreement shall in no way be deemed to stop the City from seeking any form of legal, equitable, or administrative relief to which it may be entitled during the term of this agreement.

C. Timelines
Failure of the City to comply with the time limits of the grievance procedures allows the grievant to appeal to the next level of review. Failure of the grievant to comply with the time limits of the grievance procedures constitutes an abandonment of the grievance. The parties may extend time limits by mutual written agreement in advance of a deadline.

D. Grievance Procedure

Step Two: Department Head - If the employee believes that the grievance has not been resolved through Step One, the employee may submit a written Statement of the Grievance to his/her Department Head. The employee must submit the Statement of the Grievance within 14 calendar days of receiving the written decision by the immediate supervisor. The Department Head shall consider, discuss the grievance with the grievant, and investigate as he/she deems appropriate, and shall, within 14 calendar days of receipt of the written Statement of the Grievance, submit his/her decision in writing to the grievant.

3. Step Three: City Manager - If the employee believes that the grievance has not been resolved through Step Two, the employee may appeal the grievance decision of the Department Head to the City Manager. Such appeal must be filed within 14 calendar days of the date of the Department Head's written decision. The City Manager shall consider, discuss the grievance with the grievant, and investigate as he/she deems appropriate, and shall, within 21 calendar days of receipt of the written Statement of the Grievance, submit his/her decision in writing to the grievant. The decision of the City Manager shall be final.

E. Representation
A grievant may have a representative of his/her choice at any stage of the grievance procedure, except that the grievant may not be represented by an employee he/she supervises, or by his/her supervisor.

Any grievance may be withdrawn by the grievant at any time in writing. Withdrawal of a grievance shall be with prejudice and shall remove the right of the grievant to refile the grievance on the same set of facts.

MANAGEMENT FUNCTIONS
The exercise of the foregoing powers, rights, authority, duties, and responsibilities by the City, the adoption of policies, rules, regulations, and practices in furtherance thereof, and the use of judgment and discretion in connection therewith, shall be limited only by the specific and express terms of this Agreement, and then only to the extent such specific and express terms are in conformance with the law.

None.

FINANCIAL IMPACT
The amount for translation services is not to exceed $18,000 annually. The total cost to perform these services will vary depending on special meetings, town hall meetings, or other meetings where translation services are needed. The services will be funded through the City’s general fund.
