Effective the first day of the first full pay period in July 2017, in addition to paying 50% of normal costs as described above, bargaining unit represented employees covered by this Section 25.3 shall pay, through payroll deduction, an additional 2.5% of PERSable compensation toward the normal costs of pension benefits as permitted by Government Code Section 20516.

The parties acknowledge that CalPERS mandates an election of unit represented employees, separate from ratification of this MOU, to provide for this cost sharing pursuant to Government Code Section 20516. As soon as practicable after the effective date of this MOU, the City will initiate the contract amendment process. Upon approval and agreement from the bargaining unit and completion of the City's amendment to the CalPERS contract, unit represented employee contributions will be made pursuant to Government Code Section 20516, Unit represented employee Cost Sharing of Additional Benefits. If the contract amendment is not complete before the effective date of the cost sharing described in this Section 25.3.3.1, the cost sharing shall be implemented outside of a CalPERS contract amendment as authorized by Government Code Section 20516(f), and shall extend beyond the expiration of this MOU. The Union and the City will take all actions necessary to implement the pension cost sharing agreement described in this Section 25.3.3.1.

Inpatient care in a hospital, hospice, or residential medical care facility, including any period of incapacity or subsequent treatment in connection with or consequent to such inpatient care. A person is considered an "inpatient" when a heath care facility formally admits him or her to the facility with the expectation that he or she will remain at least overnight and occupy a bed, even if it later develops that such person can be discharged or transferred to another facility and does not actually remain overnight.

2. Absence Plus Treatment
(a) A period of incapacity of more than three consecutive calendar days (including any subsequent treatment or period of incapacity relating to the same condition), that also involves:
(1) Treatment two or more times by a health care provider, by a nurse or physician's assistant under direct supervision of a health care provider, or by a provider of health care services (e.g., physical therapist) under orders of, or on referral by, a health care provider; or (2) Treatment by a health care provider on at least one occasion which results in a regimen of continuing treatment under the supervision of the health care provider.

3. Pregnancy [NOTE: An employee's own incapacity due to pregnancy is covered as a serious health condition under FMLA but not under CFRA] Any period of incapacity due to pregnancy; or for prenatal care.

4. Chronic Conditions Requiring Treatment
A chronic condition which:
(1) Requires periodic visits for treatment by a health care provider, or by a nurse of physician's assistant under direct supervision of a health care provider; (2) Continues over an extended period of time (including recurring episodes of a single underlying condition); and
(3) May cause episodic rather than a continuing period of incapacity (e.g., asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, etc.).

5. Permanent/Long-term Conditions Requiring Supervision A period of incapacity which is permanent or long-term due to a condition for which treatment may not be effective. The employee or family member must be under the continuing supervision of, but need not be receiving active treatment by, a health care provider. Examples include Alzheimer's, a severe stroke, or the terminal stages of a disease.

6. Multiple Treatments (Non-Chronic Conditions)
Any period of absence to receive multiple treatments (including any period of recovery therefrom) by a health care provider or by a provider of health care services under orders of, or on referral by, a health care provider, either for restorative surgery after an accident or other injury, or for a condition that would likely result in a period of incapacity of more than three consecutive calendar days in the absence of medical intervention or treatment, such as cancer (chemotherapy, radiation, etc.), severe arthritis (physical therapy), or kidney disease (dialysis).

BETWEEN

CITY OF PACIFICA
AND
TEAMSTERS UNION LOCAL 856
Waste Water Treatment Plant Bargaining Unit
The Teamsters Union Local No. 856 for Waste Water Treatment Plant Unit represented employees (“Union”) and representatives of the City of Pacifica (“City”) have met and conferred in good faith regarding wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment for the unit represented employees in the represented unit, and have freely exchanged information, and proposals, and have endeavored to reach agreement on all matters relating to the employment conditions and employerunit represented employee relations of such unit represented employees.

This Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) is entered into pursuant to the Meyers-MiliasBrown Act (Government Code Sections 3500 et. seq.) and has been jointly prepared by the parties.

This Memorandum of Understanding shall be presented to the City Council as the joint recommendations of the undersigned for terms and conditions of employment for the period beginning on the date this MOU was approved by the City Council and ending on June 30, 20285.

As used throughout this Memorandum of Understanding, the pronoun designation “he” or “his” is intended to be applicable to male, female and non-binary genders.

SECTION 1. UNION RECOGNITION
City and Union restate their joint commitment to the achievement and maintenance of a relationship built on open communication and the equitable resolution of the concerns of each party regarding wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment.

The City recognizes the Union as the exclusive representative of bargaining unit represented employees in the Waste Water Treatment Plant Operators Bargaining Unit, including the classifications listed in Appendix A to this MOU. The City Manager or any person duly authorized by the City Manager is the representative of the City of Pacifica.

SECTION 2. ORGANIZATION SECURITY

2.1 Dues Deduction
The City shall rely on a written certification from the Union requesting a deduction or reduction from employees’ salaries or wages confirming that the Union has and will maintain individual signed employee authorizations affirmatively consenting to dues deductions consistent with the law. After providing the required certification, the Union

5.f
Packet Pg. 251 Attachment: Attachment F: AppendixA_WW-856_Redline FINAL [Revision 1] (5986 : MOUS 2025-2028) 11 shall not be required to provide a copy of individual authorizations to the City unless a dispute arises about the existence or terms of the authorization.

Based on the certification from the Union described above, the City shall deduct, monthly, the amount of Union regular and periodic dues and fees, insurance premiums, and any special membership assessments as may be specified by the Union under the authority of an authorization card furnished by the Union. Dues deduction for any individual shall be made only upon the written request of the Union.

The deductions, together with a written statement of the names and amounts deducted, shall be forwarded promptly to the Union office, at the address specified by the Union.

The City shall provide the Union with a list of newly hired unit members as required by Section 4.1.

The unit member’s earnings must be sufficient, after all other required deductions are made, to cover the amount of the deductions authorized by this Section. When a unit member is in a non-pay status for an entire pay period, no withholdings will be made to cover that pay period from future earnings nor will the unit member deposit the amount with the City which would have been withheld if the unit member had been in pay status during that period. If a unit member is in a non-pay status during a part of the pay period, and that unit member’s salary is not sufficient to cover the full withholding, the City shall not deduct Union dues. In this connection, all other required deductions have priority over the Union dues and unit member organization deduction.

2.2 Change Or Cancellation of Deductions
Dues deductions may be revoked only pursuant to the terms of the employee’s written authorization. The City shall direct employee requests to cancel or change deductions to the Union. As required by state law, the City shall rely on information provided by the Union regarding whether deductions for the Union were properly canceled or changed.

2.3 Indemnification
The Union shall indemnify and hold harmless the City, its officers and employees, from and against any and all loss, damages, costs, expenses, claims, attorney fees, demands, actions, suits, judgments, and other proceedings arising out of any action relating to this Section 2. The Union shall refund to the City any amounts paid to it in error upon presentation of supporting evidence.

2.4 Development of Law
In the event any portion of the California Government Code is amended to address the transfer of monies between the Union and the City, the parties will reopen this section of the MOU to meet and confer regarding the change in law.

Packet Pg. 252 Attachment: Attachment F: AppendixA_WW-856_Redline FINAL [Revision 1] (5986 : MOUS 2025-2028) 12 2.5 Government Code Provisions Incorporated By Reference The parties incorporate by reference the provisions of Government Code sections 1150- 1157.12.

2.6 TEAMSTERS’ D.R.I.V.E. PROGRAM - (Democrat, Republican, Independent, Voter Education.)
The City is currently engaged in changing Pay-roll providers. If the City’s new Pay-roll provider can provide the following pay-roll deductions with no additional cost, the City agrees to the following:

To provide payroll deductions for those members who voluntarily elect to participate in the Teamster DRIVE program (civic engagement for voter registration and political education), D.R.I.V.E., or Democrat, Republican, Independent Voter Education, is the Teamsters’ political action committee. D.R.I.V.E is non-partisan and independent from any political party. D.R.I.V.E. is supported through voluntary contributions from Teamster members. Such donations are not U.S. Tax Deductible.

The employer agrees to deduct from the paycheck of all employees covered by this agreement voluntary contributions to D.R.I.V.E. D.R.I.V.E shall notify the employer of the amounts designated by each contributing employee that are to be deducted from their paycheck on a weekly basis for all weeks worked. The employer shall transmit to DRIVE national headquarters on a monthly basis, in one (1) check the total amount deducted along with the name of each employee on whose behalf a deduction is made, the employee's social security number and the amount deducted from that employee's check.

The Union agrees to hold the Employer harmless from loss of any judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction and from any order of the Labor Commissioner or agency of government in connection with or arising out of any deduction made pursuant to this Agreement.

SECTION 3. NO DISCRIMINATION
The City of Pacifica prohibits harassment and discrimination in the workplace on the basis of race, religious creed, color, national origin, citizenship status, ancestry, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition, genetic information, marital status, sex (including pregnancy, childbirth, and related medical conditions), gender, gender identity, gender expression, age, sexual orientation, AIDS/HIV, medical condition, political activities or affiliations,- military and veteran status, status as a victim of domestic violence, assault, or stalking or legitimate unit member organization activities.

It is the policy of the City that all unit represented employees have the right to work in an environment free from any such harassment and discrimination. Such prohibited activity debilitates the morale and productivity of the victims and their co-workers. The City does not condone any form of such harassment or discrimination and those who engage in such activities shall be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination.

The City will provide the employee with a packet of information and an electronic membership application form supplied by the Union.

The City will provide the Union President not less than ten (10) days’ notice of the onboarding orientation meeting held between the Human Resources Department representatives and new bargaining unit represented employees, including the date, time and location of the orientation meeting. If a bargaining unit represented employee’s first day or work begins less than ten (10) days after the date the employee is hired, the 10- day notice requirement may be reduced, and the City will instead provide as much advance notice as reasonably possible of the orientation meeting.

The City will allow a Teamsters Local 856 unit member representative and/or a Teamsters Local 856 outside labor representative to spend up to thirty (30) minutes with the new unit represented employee at the end of the onboarding orientation meeting in order to provide information and materials about the MOU and related matters. No representative of City management shall be present during the Union’s presentation. A bargaining unit member attending the onboarding orientation meeting as the Union representative shall be given paid release time sufficient to cover the Union’s presentation and related travel time. The Union will provide the Human Resources Department with the names of any bargaining unit represented employee who they request to be released for this purpose as soon as reasonably possible, and at least 48 hours before the meeting.

Packet Pg. 254 Attachment: Attachment F: AppendixA_WW-856_Redline FINAL [Revision 1] (5986 : MOUS 2025-2028) 14 4.3 Attendance at Meetings by Unit Members
Unit members who are official representatives of the Union shall be given reasonable time off with pay to attend meetings with management representatives, or to be present at hearings where matters within the scope of representation are being considered. The use of official time for this purpose shall be reasonable and shall not interfere with the performance of City services as determined by the City Manager. Such unit member representatives may be required to submit a written request for excused absence to their respective department director, with an information copy to the Assistant City Manager/Human Resources Department, at least two (2) working days prior to the scheduled meeting whenever possible. Except by mutual agreement, the number of unit members excused for such purposes shall not exceed five (5).

4.4 Access to Work Locations
Reasonable access to unit represented employees work locations shall be granted officers of the Union and their officially designated representatives, for the purpose of processing grievances or contacting members of the Union concerning business within the scope of representation.

Access shall be restricted so as not to interfere with the normal operations of the department or with established safety or security requirements.

Solicitation of membership and activities concerned with the internal management of the Union, such as collecting dues, campaigning for office, conducting elections and distributing literature, shall not be conducted during working hours unless approved in advance by the City Manager or designee.

Unit represented employees are entitled to use their earned sick leave benefits or the unit represented employee’s designated family members, as allowed by family illness leave to be off work without the loss of compensation under the following conditions:

A unit represented employee may use accrued sick leave, vacation or compensatory time prior to being placed on a leave of absence without pay. However, the unit represented employee may be eligible for long-term disability benefits under Section 17.3.2 (Long-Term Disability). Vacation and sick leave credits shall not accrue when a unit represented employee is on such leave of absence.

5.f
Packet Pg. 271 Attachment: Attachment F: AppendixA_WW-856_Redline FINAL [Revision 1] (5986 : MOUS 2025-2028) 31 “family member” is defined as a biological, adopted, or foster child; stepchild; legal ward, or a child to whom the unit represented employee stands in loco parentis; a biological, adoptive, or foster parent; stepparent, or legal guardian of an unit represented employee or the unit represented employee’s spouse or registered domestic partner, or a person who stood in loco parentis when the unit represented employee was a minor child; spouse; registered domestic partner; grandparent; grandchild; or sibling.

All conditions and restrictions placed by the employer upon the use by an employee of sick leave also shall apply to the use by an employee of sick leave to attend to an illness of his or her family member. The designation of sick leave as taken for this reasons is at the sole discretion of the unit represented employee. This Section does not extend the maximum period of leave to which a unit represented employee is entitled under Section 12945.2 of the Government Code or under the federal Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 (29 U.S.C. Sec. 2606 et seq.), regardless of whether the employee receives sick leave compensation during that leave. As in use of sick leave for the unit represented employee’s own illness, a doctor’s note may be required if the family member’s illness is more than one day.

16.2 Jury Duty
A unit represented employee summoned to jury duty shall inform his supervisor and, if required to serve, may be absent from duty with full pay; provided, however, the unit represented employee must remit to the City, through the unit represented employee’s department director, within fifteen (15) days after receipt, all fees received except those specifically allowed for mileage and expenses. When the unit represented employee is released from jury duty each day, he shall report to work promptly for the balance of his scheduled shift or workday.

16.6 Bereavement Leave
In case of death within the immediate family of a unit represented employee, a unit represented employee shall be entitled to remain absent from duty with pay in order to attend and/or arrange the funeral or memorial services, not to exceed five (5) days.

16.7 Absence Without Official Leave
Failure of a unit represented employee to report for duty on a normal working day or shift without notice to the department director or designated representative of the reason for such absence within one-half (1/2) hour after the time designated as the beginning of the workday shall constitute absence without official leave and without pay. Unit represented employee should make every effort to contact the department director or designated representative prior to the start of their shift if they plan to be absent.

Absence without official leave for any length of time without satisfactory explanation is cause for dismissal. Absence without official leave for five (5) or more consecutive days shall be deemed a tender of resignation.

16.8 Disability Leave With Pay
Any regular or probationary unit member occupying a regular position who is absent from duty because of disability caused by illness or injury arising out of and in the course of such unit represented employee’s employment with the City that has been declared to be compensable under workers’ compensation law shall be allowed a disability leave with pay for the period of incapacity as determined by a physician, but not to exceed three hundred sixty-five (365) calendar days for any one illness or injury. The unit represented employee’s compensation during such leave of absence shall be as follows:

First three (3) workdays’ absence, no pay; provided, however, that a unit represented employee may use accrued sick leave credit, if any, during the first three (3) workdays’ absence; and, provided further, that if a unit represented employee is hospitalized or is absent for fifteen (15) or more consecutive workdays as a result of such illness or injury the unit represented employee shall receive full pay, commencing with the first workday’s absence and continuing throughout the period of incapacity but not to exceed thirty (30) consecutive calendar days. Fourth (4th) workday’s through thirtieth (30th) consecutive

5.f
Packet Pg. 273 Attachment: Attachment F: AppendixA_WW-856_Redline FINAL [Revision 1] (5986 : MOUS 2025-2028) 33 calendar day’s absence, full pay throughout the period of incapacity but not to exceed thirty (30) consecutive calendar days from commencement of the disability leave of absence.

Thirty-first (31st) through ninetieth (90th) consecutive calendar day’s absence; seventyfive percent (75%) of full pay throughout the period of incapacity but not to exceed three hundred sixty-five (365) consecutive calendar days from commencement of disability leave of absence.

Ninety-first (91st) through three hundred sixty-fifth (365th) consecutive calendar day’s absence, fifty percent (50%) of full pay throughout the period of incapacity but not to exceed three hundred sixty-five (365) consecutive calendar days from commencement of disability leave of absence.

For unit represented employees who are absent for thirty-one (31) or more consecutive calendar days and are receiving compensation as provided above, accrued sick leave, if any, shall be integrated with the disability leave payments; provided, however, that the sum of the two shall not exceed the unit represented employee’s full pay for the said period and the unused portion of accumulated sick leave will continue to be credited to the unit represented employee. Integration of sick leave credit with disability leave payment is automatic after the thirtieth (30th) consecutive calendar day of absence due to such disability and may not be waived. No disability leave with pay may be granted until the illness or injury is declared compensable under the California workers’ compensation law.

During such disability leave of absence, the City may request that a unit represented employee be examined by a physician selected by the City. Disability pay provided by the City shall be reduced by any compensation a unit represented employee received pursuant to the workers’ compensation law. Full pay as used herein shall mean the unit represented employee’s base rate of pay.

16.9 Family Care and Medical Leave

16.9.1 Each eligible unit represented employee is entitled to family care and medical leave as provided by the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA) and the California Family Rights Act (CFRA), as amended. The leaves under FMLA and CFRA will run concurrently to the extent permitted by law.

16.9.2 Eligibility
To be eligible for family care and medical leave, on the date on which leave is to begin, a full-time or part-time unit represented employee must have been employed by the City for at least twelve (12) months, which need not be consecutive, and have actually worked at least 1,250 hours of service during the twelve (12) month period immediately preceding the commencement of the leave.

16.9.3 Family Care and Medical Leave Entitlement
Subject to the provisions of this MOU, City policy, and state and federal law, including the federal FMLA and the CFRA, an eligible unit represented

5.f
Packet Pg. 274 Attachment: Attachment F: AppendixA_WW-856_Redline FINAL [Revision 1] (5986 : MOUS 2025-2028) 34 employee is entitled to a total of twelve (12) workweeks of unpaid leave during any twelve (12) month period for any one, or more, of the following reasons:

16.9.3.1 The birth of a child and to care for the newborn child (FMLA and CFRA);

16.9.3.2 The placement with the unit represented employee of a child for adoption or foster care and care for the newly placed child (FMLA and CFRA);

16.9.3.3 To care for the unit represented employee’s child, parent, or spouse who has a serious health condition. (Child is defined as biological, adopted, or foster child, stepchild, legal ward, or child of a person standing in loco parentis who is under 18 years of age or an adult dependent child. Parent is defined as biological, foster or adoptive parent, stepparent, legal guardian, or other person who stood in loco parentis to the unit represented employee when the unit represented employee was a child. Parent does not include a parent-in-law. “Spouse” means partner in marriage or a registered domestic partner as defined in the Family Code and includes same- sex partners in marriage.)

16.9.3.4 Because of a unit represented employee’s own serious health condition that makes the unit represented employee unable to perform the functions of the unit represented employee’s position, except for disability on account of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions, which is covered by pregnancy disability leave. (Pregnancy disability counts toward only California Pregnancy Disability Leave (PDL) and FMLA leave.)

16.9.3.5 Because of any qualifying exigency arising out of the fact that the unit represented employee’s spouse, son, daughter, or parent is a military member on covered active duty (or has been notified of an impending call or order to covered active duty status) (FMLA only).

The twelve (12) month period for FMLA/CFRA purposes is
determined by the fiscal year.

16.9.4 Family Care and Medical Leave to Care for a Covered Servicemember With a Service Injury or Illness
Subject to the provisions of this MOU, City policy, and state and federal law, including the FMLA, an eligible unit represented employee may take FMLA leave to care for a Covered Servicemember with a serious injury or illness if the unit represented employee isthe spouse, son, daughter, parent, or next of kin of the Covered Servicemember. Covered Servicemember for purposes of this section is defined in 29 CFR 825.127(b).

Packet Pg. 275 Attachment: Attachment F: AppendixA_WW-856_Redline FINAL [Revision 1] (5986 : MOUS 2025-2028) 35 16.9.4.1 An eligible unit represented employee’s entitlement under Section

16.9.4 is limited to a total of twenty-six (26) workweeks of leave during a single 12-month period to care for a Covered
Servicemember with a serious injury or illness. The “single 12- month period” in which the 26-weeks-of-leave-entitlement described in this begins on the first day a unit represented employee takes leave to care for the Covered Servicemember.

16.9.5 Pay Status and Benefits
Except as provided in this Article, the family care and medical leave will be unpaid. The City will, however, continue to provide City contributions toward the health plan premiums during the period of family care and medical leave for up to twelve (12) workweeks on the same basis as contributions would have been provided had the unit represented employee not taken family care and medical leave. The unit represented employee will be required to continue to pay the unit represented employee’s share of premiums payments, if any.

16.9.6 Relationship of Family Care and Medical Leave to Other Leaves Any leave of absence that qualifies as family care and medical leave and is designated by the City as family care and medical leave will be counted as running concurrently with any other paid or unpaid leave to which the unit represented employee may be entitled for the same qualifying reason. A unit represented employee is required to utilize the unit represented employee’s accrued sick leave for FMLA/CFRA qualifying absences due to the unit represented employee’s own serious health condition. A unit represented employee may be required to use accrued vacation leave for FMLA/CFRA qualifying reasons unrelated to the unit represented employee’s own serious health condition.

16.9.7 Notice to the City

16.9.7.1 The unit represented employee must provide written notice to the City as far in advance of the leave as possible and as soon as the unit represented employee reasonably knows of the need for the leave.

If the need for the leave is foreseeable based on an expected birth, placement of a child for adoption or foster care or planned medical treatment, the notice must be provided at least thirty (30) calendar days in advance of the leave, or if not reasonably known thirty (30) calendar days before the leave, then as soon as reasonably practicable.

16.9.8 Medical Certification

16.9.8.1 A unit represented employee’s request for family care and medical leave to care for a child, a spouse, or a parent who has a serious health condition shall be supported by a certification issued by the health care provider of the individual requiring care. If additional leave is requested after the expiration of the time originally estimated by the health care provider, the unit represented employee shall provide the City with recertification by the health care provider.

16.9.8.2 A unit represented employee’s request for family care and medical leave because of unit represented employee’s own serious health condition shall be supported by a certification issued by the unit represented employee’s health care provider.

16.9.8.3 As a condition of a unit represented employee’s return from leave taken because of the unit represented employee’s own serious health condition, the unit represented employee is required to obtain certification from the unit represented employee’s care provider that the unit represented employee is able to resume work.

16.9.8.4 Required Medical Certification Forms
Unit represented employees are required to use the medical certification forms available from the City Human Resources Department to meet the certification and recertification requirements of this Section. The form, “CERTIFICATION OF HEALTH CARE PROVIDER (California Family Rights Act

However, intermittent or reduced work schedule leave may be taken for absences where the unit represented employee or covered family member is incapacitated or unable to perform the essential functions of the position because of a chronic serious health condition, even if he or she does not receive treatment by a health care provider.

16.9.9.2 Leave taken for reason of birth, adoption, or foster care placement of a child of the unit represented employee does not have to be taken in one continuous period of time.

16.9.12 Unit Represented Employee’s Status on Returning from Leave Except as provided by law, on return from family care and medical leave, a unit represented employee is entitled to be returned to the same or equivalent position the unit represented employee held when leave commenced, or to an equivalent position with equivalent benefits, pay, and other terms and conditions of employment. A unit represented employee is also entitled to reinstatement even if the unit represented employee has been replaced or the unit represented employee’s job has been restructured to accommodate the unit represented employee’s absence. If a unit represented employee is no longer qualified for the position because, e.g., of the unit represented employee’sinability to renew a license, as a result of the leave, the unit represented employee shall be given a reasonable opportunity to fulfill those conditions upon returning to work. A unit

During a pregnancy disability leave, the unit represented employee shall retain unit represented employee status, and the leave shall not constitute a break in service for any purpose under this MOU except that the leave shall not count toward completion of probation.

16.10.5.1 A pregnancy disability leave shall run concurrently with the unit represented employee’s FMLA leave entitlement.

Packet Pg. 279 Attachment: Attachment F: AppendixA_WW-856_Redline FINAL [Revision 1] (5986 : MOUS 2025-2028) 39 16.10.5.2 The right to take pregnancy disability leave is separate and distinct from the right to take leave under CFRA. A unit represented employee’s own disability due to pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions is not a “serious health condition” under CFRA.

16.10.5.3 At the end of the unit represented employee’s period(s) of pregnancy disability leave, or at the end of four months of pregnancy disability leave, whichever occurs first, a CFRA- eligible unit represented employee may request to take CFRA leave of up to twelve (12) workweeks for reason of the birth of her child, if the child has been born by this date.

Serious Health Condition
“Serious health condition” means an illness, injury (including, but not limited to, on-the-job injuries), impairment, or physical or mental condition of the employee or a child, parent, or spouse of the employee that involves either inpatient care or continuing treatment, including, but not limited to, treatment for substance abuse. A serious health condition may involve one or more of the following:

1. Hospital Care
Inpatient care in a hospital, hospice, or residential medical care facility, including any period of incapacity or subsequent treatment in connection with or consequent to such inpatient care. A person is considered an “inpatient” when a heath care facility formally admits him or her to the facility with the expectation that he or she will remain at least overnight and occupy a bed, even if it later develops that such person can be discharged or transferred to another facility and does not actually remain overnight.

2. Absence Plus Treatment
(a) A period of incapacity of more than three consecutive calendar days (including any subsequent treatment or period of incapacity relating to the same condition), that also involves:
(1) Treatment two or more times by a health care provider, by a nurse or physician’s assistant under direct supervision of a health care provider, or by a provider of health care services (e.g., physical therapist) under orders of, or on referral by, a health care provider; or (2) Treatment by a health care provider on at least one occasion which results in a regimen of continuing treatment under the supervision of the health care provider.

3. Pregnancy [NOTE: An employee’s own incapacity due to pregnancy is covered as a serious health condition under FMLA but not under CFRA] Any period of incapacity due to pregnancy; or for prenatal care.

4. Chronic Conditions Requiring Treatment A chronic condition which:
(1) Requires periodic visits for treatment by a health care provider, or by a nurse of physician’s assistant under direct supervision of a health care provider; (2) Continues over an extended period of time (including recurring episodes of a single underlying condition); and
(3) May cause episodic rather than a continuing period of incapacity (e.g., asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, etc.).

5. Permanent/Long-term Conditions Requiring Supervision A period of incapacity which is permanent or long-term due to a condition for which treatment may not be effective. The employee or family member must be under the continuing supervision of, but need not be receiving active treatment by, a health care provider. Examples include Alzheimer’s, a severe stroke, or the terminal stages of a disease.

6. Multiple Treatments (Non-Chronic Conditions)
Any period of absence to receive multiple treatments (including any period of recovery therefrom) by a health care provider or by a provider of health care services under orders of, or on referral by, a health care provider, either for restorative surgery after an accident or other injury, or for a condition that would likely result in a period of incapacity of more than three consecutive calendar days in the absence of medical intervention or treatment, such as cancer (chemotherapy, radiation, etc.), severe arthritis(physical therapy), or kidney disease (dialysis).

1 MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING

BETWEEN

CITY OF PACIFICA
AND

PACIFICA POLICE MANAGERS ASSOCIATION
AND

PACIFICA POLICE SUPERVISORS ASSOCIATION
The Pacifica Police Managers Association and the Pacifica Police Supervisors Association and representatives of the City of Pacifica have met and conferred in good faith regarding wages, hours and other terms and conditions of employment of unit represented employees in the representation units specified in Section 1, have exchanged freely information, opinions and proposals and have endeavored to reach agreement on all matters relating to the employment conditions and employeremployee relations of such unit represented employees.

This Memorandum of Understanding is entered into pursuant to the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (Government Code Sections 3500, et seq.) and has been jointly prepared by the parties.

This Memorandum of Understanding shall be presented to the City Council as the joint recommendations of the undersigned for salary and unit represented employee benefit adjustments for the period commencing upon City Council approval and ending June 30, 20285.

SECTION 1. RECOGNITION

1.1 Association Recognition
The Pacifica Police Supervisors Association, hereinafter referred to as the "PPSA," is the recognized employee organization for the Police Sergeants Unit, comprised of the following classification certified pursuant to Resolution No. 29-84 adopted by the City Council on April 23, 1984: Police Sergeant.

The Pacifica Police Management Association, hereinafter referred to as the "PPMA," is the recognized employee organization for the Police Management Unit, comprised of the following classification certified pursuant to a resolution adopted by the City Council on or about April 23, 1984: Police Captain.

1.2 City Recognition
The City Manager, or any person or organization duly authorized by the City Manager, is the representative of the City of Pacifica, hereinafter referred to as the "City" in employer5.h Packet Pg. 370 Attachment: Attachment H: AppendixA_PPMAPPSARedline FINAL (5986 : MOUS 2025-2028) Exhibit A
2 employee relations as provided in Resolution No. 29-84 adopted by the City Council on April 23, 1984.

SECTION 2. ORGANIZATION SECURITY

2.1 Dues Deduction
The City shall rely on a written certification from the Union requesting a deduction or reduction from employees’ salaries or wages confirming that the Union has and will maintain individual signed employee authorizations affirmatively consenting to dues deductions consistent with the law. After providing the required certification, the Union shall not be required to provide a copy of individual authorizations to the City unless a dispute arises about the existence or terms of the authorization.

Based on the certification from the Union described above, the City shall deduct, monthly, the amount of Union regular and periodic dues and service fees, insurance premiums, and any special membership assessments as may be specified by the Union under the authority of an authorization card furnished by the Union and signed by the unit member. Dues deduction for any individual shall be made only upon the written request of the Union.

The deductions, together with a written statement of the names and amounts deducted, shall be forwarded promptly to the Union office at the address specified by the Union. Dues shall be deducted only for members of the Union within the represented unit.

At the time of initial employment, the City shall distribute to new unit members Unionprepared information about agency fee and Union-prepared payroll deduction forms. Each pay period, the City shall provide the Union with a list of newly hired unit members as required by Section 4.1.

The unit member’s earnings must be sufficient, after all other required deductions are made, to cover the amount of the deductions authorized by this Section. When a unit member is in a non-pay status for an entire pay period, no withholdings will be made to cover that pay period from future earnings nor will the unit member deposit the amount with the City which would have been withheld if the unit member had been in pay status during that period. If a unit member is in a non-pay status during a part of the pay period, and that unit member’s salary is not sufficient to cover the full withholding, the City shall not deduct Union dues. In this connection, all other required deductions have priority over the Union dues and unit member organization deduction.

2.2 Changes or Cancellation of Deductions
Dues deductions may be revoked only pursuant to the terms of the employee’s written authorization. The City shall direct employee requests to cancel or change deductions to

5.h
Packet Pg. 371 Attachment: Attachment H: AppendixA_PPMAPPSARedline FINAL (5986 : MOUS 2025-2028) Exhibit A
3 the Union. As required by state law, the City shall rely on information provided by the Union regarding whether deductions for the Union were properly canceled or changed.

2.3 Indemnification The Union shall indemnify and hold harmless the City, its officers and employees, from and against any and all loss, damages, costs, expenses, claims, attorney fees, demands, actions, suits, judgments, and other proceedings arising out of any action relating to this Section 2. The Union shall refund to the City any amounts paid to it in error upon presentation of supporting evidence.

2.4 Development of Law In the event any portion of the California Government Code is amended to address the transfer of monies between the Union and the City, the parties will reopen this section of the MOU to meet and confer regarding the change in law.

2.5 Government Code Provisions Incorporated By Reference The parties incorporate by reference the provisions of Government Code sections 1150-1157.12.

2.6 Use of City Facilities
City employees or the PPMA or PPSA, or their representatives may, with the prior approval of the Assistant City Manager or his/her representative, be granted the use of City facilities during non-work hours for meetings of City employees provided space is available, and provided further such meetings are not used for organizational activities or membership drives of City employees.

The use of City equipment other than items normally used in the conduct of business meetings, such as desks, chairs, and blackboards, is strictly prohibited, the presence of such equipment in approved City facilities notwithstanding.

(1) All materials are subject to the approval of the department director or Division Head in charge of the departmental bulletin board.
(2) All materials must be dated and must identify the organization that published them. (3) Unless special arrangements are made, materials posted will be removed thirty-one (31) days after the publication date.

14.2.4 Pay Status and Benefits
Except as provided in this Section 14, the family care and medical leave will be unpaid. The City will, however, continue to provide City contributions toward the health plan premiums during the period of family care and medical leave

27 for up to twelve (12) work weeks on the same basis as contributions would have been provided had the unit represented employee not taken family care and medical leave. The unit represented employee will be required to continue to pay the unit represented employee’s share of premiums payments, if any.

14.2.5 Relationship of Family Care and Medical Leave to Other Leaves Any leave of absence that qualifies as family care and medical leave and is designated by the City as family care and medical leave will be counted as running concurrently with any other paid or unpaid leave to which the unit represented employee may be entitled for the same qualifying reason. A unit represented employee is required to utilize the unit represented employee’s accrued sick leave for FMLA/CFRA qualifying absences due to the unit member’s own serious health condition. A unit represented employee may be required to use accrued vacation leave for FMLA/CFRA qualifying reasons unrelated to the unit represented employee’s own serious health condition.

14.2.6 Notice to the City

14.2.6.1 The unit represented employee must provide written notice to the City as far in advance of the leave as possible and as soon as the unit represented employee reasonably knows of the need for the leave.

14.2.6.2 The written notice must inform the City of the reasons for the leave, the anticipated duration of the leave and the anticipated start of the leave.

14.2.6.3 The unit represented employee shall consult with the City and make a reasonable effort to schedule any planned medical treatment or supervision so as to minimize disruption to department operations.

14.2.7 Medical Certification

14.2.7.1 A unit represented employee’s request for family care and medical leave to care for a child, a spouse, or a parent who has a serious health condition shall be supported by a certification issued by the health care provider of the individual requiring care. If additional leave is requested after the expiration of the time originally estimated by the health care provider, the unit represented employee

5.h
Packet Pg. 396 Attachment: Attachment H: AppendixA_PPMAPPSARedline FINAL (5986 : MOUS 2025-2028) Exhibit A
28 shall provide the City with recertification by the health care provider.

14.2.7.2 A unit represented employee’s request for family care and medical leave because of unit represented employee’s own serious health condition shall be supported by a certification issued by the unit represented employee’s health care provider.

14.2.7.3 As a condition of an unit represented employee’s return from leave taken because of the unit represented employee’s own serious health condition, the unit represented employee is required to obtain certification from the unit represented employee’s care provider that the unit represented employee is able to resume work.

14.2.7.4 Employees are required to use the medical certification forms available from the City Human Resources Department to meet the certification and recertification requirements of this section.

14.2.8 Minimum Duration of Leave

14.2.8.1 Leave does not need to be taken in one continuous period of time.

14.2.8.2 Leave taken for a serious health condition of the unit represented employee’s child, parent, or spouse of the unit represented employee may be taken intermittently or on a reduced work schedule when medically necessary, as determined by the health care provider of the person with the serious health condition. However, intermittent or reduced work schedule leave may be taken for absences where the unit represented employee or covered family member is incapacitated or unable to perform the essential functions of the position because of a chronic serious health condition, even if he or she does not receive treatment by a health care provider.

14.2.8.3 Leave taken for reason of birth, adoption, or foster care placement of a child of the unit represented employee does not have to be taken in one continuous period of time. Any leave(s) taken shall be concluded within one (1) year of the birth of placement of the child with the unit represented employee. The basic minimum duration shall be two (2) weeks. However, the City shall grant a request for a leave of less than (2) weeks’ duration on any two (2) occasions.

14.2.9 City’s Response to Leave Request
It is the City’s responsibility to designate leave, paid or unpaid, as family and medical leave-qualifying based on the information provided by the unit

29 represented employeeandemployee and to notify the unit represented employee of the designation.

14.2.10 Dual Parent Employment
Where both parents are City unit represented employees, allowable leave for the birth, adoption, or foster care placement of a child is limited to a total of twelve (12) work weeks in a 12-month period between the two unit represented employees. Their family care and medical leave entitlement is not limited or combined for any other qualifying purpose.

14.2.11 Employee’s Status on Returning from Leave
Except as provided by law, on return from family care and medical leave, an unit represented employee is entitled to be returned to the same or equivalent position the unit represented employee held when leave commenced, or to an equivalent position with equivalent benefits, pay, and other terms and conditions of employment. A unit represented employee is also entitled to reinstatement even if the unit represented employee has been replaced or the unit represented employee’s job has been restructured to accommodate the unit represented employee’s absence. If a unit represented employee is no longer qualified for the position because, e.g., of the employer’s inability to renew a license, as a result of the leave, the unit represented employee shall be given a reasonable opportunity to fulfill those conditions upon returning to work. A unit represented employee has no right to return to the same position. Use of family care and medical leave will not result in the loss of any employment benefit that accrued prior to the start of an eligible unit represented employee’s FMLA/CFRA leave.

14.3 Pregnancy Disability Leave
A pregnant unit represented employee is entitled to an unpaid leave of up to four (4) months, as needed, for the period(s) of time the unit represented employee is actually disabled by pregnancy, as determined by her health care provider.

14.3.1 Notice to City
Using the City’s Certification of Health Care Provider form for pregnancy disability leave, a unit represented employee should provide at least thirty (30) days advance notice or notice as soon as practicable of the unit represented employee’s need for pregnancy disability leave or need for reasonable accommodation based on the advice of her health care provider that reasonable accommodation is medically advisable because of pregnancy or a related medical condition.

14.3.2 Use of Sick Leave and Vacation During Pregnancy Disability Leave

14.3.3 Health and Welfare Benefits
The City shall maintain its contribution toward health and welfare benefits under Section 15 during any unpaid portion of a pregnancy disability leave on the same basis that the contribution would have been provided if the unit represented employee had not taken pregnancy disability leave.

14.3.4 Employee Status
During a pregnancy disability leave, the unit represented employee shall retain unit represented employee status, and the leave shall not constitute a break in service for any purpose under this MOU except that the leave shall not count toward completion of probation.

14.3.5 Relationship Between Pregnancy Disability, FMLA, and CFRA Leaves

14.3.5.1 A pregnancy disability leave shall run concurrently with the unit represented employee’s FMLA leave entitlement.

14.3.5.2 The right to take pregnancy disability leave is separate and distinct from the right to take leave under CFRA. A unit represented employee’s own disability due to pregnancy, childbirth or related medical conditions is not a “serious health condition” under CFRA.

14.3.5.3 At the end of the unit represented employee’s period(s) of pregnancy disability leave, or at the end of four months of pregnancy disability leave, whichever occurs first, a CFRA-eligible unit represented employee may request to take CFRA leave of up to twelve (12) workweeks for reason of the birth of her child, if the child has been born by this date.

14.4 Jury Duty
A PPMA or PPSA unit represented employee summoned to jury duty shall inform his supervisor and, if required to serve, may be absent from duty with full pay; provided, however, the unit represented employee must remit to the City, through the unit represented employee’s department director, within fifteen (15) days after receipt, all fees received except those specifically allowed for mileage and expenses. When a PPMA or PPSA unit represented employee is released from jury duty each day, he or she must report to work promptly for the balance of his or her regularly scheduled shift or workday.

The decision by the City Manager or where the authority has been delegated by the City Manager, the City Manager's representative, shall be final. Upon expiration of leave of absence the PPMA or PPSA unit represented employee shall be reinstated in the position held at the time the leave was granted or to another position in the same classification. Failure on the part of PPMA or PPSA unit represented employee on leave to report promptly on its expiration, or within fifteen (15) days after notice to return to duty shall result in such unit represented employee's automatic dismissal. Vacation and sick leave credits shall not accrue to PPMA or PPSA unit represented employees on voluntary leave of absence. Additionally, seniority credits shall not accrue to a PPMA or PPSA unit represented employee on voluntary leave of absence.

14.8 Bereavement Leave

(1) If the service is within the Bay Area (i.e., Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin, Napa, San Francisco, San Mateo, Santa Clara, Sonoma Counties) not to exceed a maximum of three (3) working days.
(2) If the service is outside the Bay Area, not to exceed a maximum of five (5) working days. Said bereavement leave is not to be charged to sick or vacation leave.

32 persons with whom there is a demonstrated child-rearing/parental or immediate familial relationship. The Paid Bereavement leave runs concurrent with the 5 Day Bereavement Leave. However, the leave days need not be consecutive. For Bereavement Leave in excess of 3 days, or the additional two for out-of-Bay Area, all employees may use vacation, personal leave, accrued and available sick leave, or compensatory time off that is otherwise available to the employee. Proof of death (death certificate, obituary, funeral program, etc.) or proof of miscarriage/stillbirth (a note from a healthcare provider) must be submitted within 30 calendar days of when the employee returns to work. Additional time off for this purpose must be vacation, C.T.O., or unpaid leave. Bereavement leave must be approved by the Department Head.”

14.9 Absence Without Pay
Failure of a PPMA or PPSA unit represented employee to report for duty on a normal working day or shift without notice to his department director of the reason for such absence within thirty (30) minutes after the time designated as the beginning of the work day shall constitute absence without leave and without pay. PPMA and PPSA unit represented employees should make every effort to contact their department director prior to the start of their shift if they plan to be absent.

Absence without leave for any length of time without satisfactory explanation is cause for dismissal. Absence without leave for five (5) or more consecutive days shall be deemed a tender of resignation.

14.10 Administrative Leave for PPMA Unit Represented Employees PPMA unit represented employees will receive administrative leave at the rate of 80 hours per fiscal year, in recognition of the additional evening, weekend and on call responsibilities of an exempt employee. The administrative leave is in lieu of compensatory time, must be used during the fiscal year in which it is received, has no cash value, and does not accumulate from year to year.

14.11 Catastrophic Illness or Injury Time Donation Program For PPMA and PPSA unit represented employees, the City will continue to offer a catastrophic leave program for donation of time in the event of catastrophic illness or injury.

Serious Health Condition
“Serious health condition” means an illness, injury (including, but not limited to, on-the-job injuries), impairment, or physical or mental condition of the employee or a child, parent, or spouse of the employee that involves either inpatient care or continuing treatment, including, but not limited to, treatment for substance abuse. A serious health condition may involve one or more of the following:

1. Hospital Care
Inpatient care in a hospital, hospice, or residential medical care facility, including any period of incapacity or subsequent treatment in connection with or consequent to such inpatient care. A person is considered an “inpatient” when a heath care facility formally admits him or her to the facility with the expectation that he or she will remain at least overnight and occupy a bed, even if it later develops that such person can be discharged or transferred to another facility and does not actually remain overnight.

2. Absence Plus Treatment
(a) A period of incapacity of more than three consecutive calendar days (including any subsequent treatment or period of incapacity relating to the same condition), that also involves:
(1) Treatment two or more times by a health care provider, by a nurse or physician’s assistant under direct supervision of a health care provider, or by a provider of health care services (e.g., physical therapist) under orders of, or on referral by, a health care provider; or
(2) Treatment by a health care provider on at least one occasion which results in a regimen of continuing treatment under the supervision of the health care provider.

3. Pregnancy [NOTE: An employee’s own incapacity due to pregnancy is covered as a serious health condition under FMLA but not under CFRA] Any period of incapacity due to pregnancy; or for prenatal care.

4. Chronic Conditions Requiring Treatment
A chronic condition which:
(1) Requires periodic visits for treatment by a health care provider, or by a nurse of physician’s assistant under direct supervision of a health care provider;

5.h
Packet Pg. 436 Attachment: Attachment H: AppendixA_PPMAPPSARedline FINAL (5986 : MOUS 2025-2028) Exhibit A
68 (2) Continues over an extended period of time (including recurring episodes of a single underlying condition); and
(3) May cause episodic rather than a continuing period of incapacity (e.g., asthma, diabetes, epilepsy, etc.).

5. Permanent/Long-term Conditions Requiring Supervision A period of incapacity which is permanent or long-term due to a condition for which treatment may not be effective. The employee or family member must be under the continuing supervision of, but need not be receiving active treatment by, a health care provider. Examples include Alzheimer’s, a severe stroke, or the terminal stages of a disease.

6. Multiple Treatments (Non-Chronic Conditions)
Any period of absence to receive multiple treatments (including any period of recovery therefrom) by a health care provider or by a provider of health care services under orders of, or on referral by, a health care provider, either for restorative surgery after an accident or other injury, or for a condition that would likely result in a period of incapacity of more than three consecutive calendar days in the absence of medical intervention or treatment, such as cancer (chemotherapy, radiation, etc.), severe arthritis (physical therapy), or kidney disease (dialysis).
