It is the intent and purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to set forth the total and complete understanding and agreement between the parties regarding wages, hours and other terms and conditions of employment. All prior or existing understandings, past practices or agreements by the parties, whether formal or informal, written or oral, regarding any such matters are hereby expressly superseded or terminated in their entirety.
In the event of a conflict between the Manual of Personnel and Administrative Rules and this MOD, the MOD shall take precedence.
2. Recognition
In accordance with the Pasadena City Charter, Section 3500 et seq. of the California Government Code, and provisions of City Resolution No. 555, the City acknowledges the AFSCME Local 858 as the exclusively recognized employee organization for those classifications specified in Exhibit I, for the purpose of meeting and conferring regarding wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment.
3.Term of MOU
A. The term of the MOU is July 1,2022-June 30, 2026. This MOU shall continue in effect through negotiation of a successor MOD and including through the impasse procedure if invoked.
B. This MOD shall in all respects be subject and subordinate to the provisions of the Pasadena City Charter, and state and federal statutory law.
C. All changes the parties agreed to in this MOU (with a term of July 1, 2022 -June 30, 2026) become effective upon Council adoption of this agreement and apply to employees in the bargaining unit as of the same date unless otherwise identified with a specific effective date.
1 City of PasadenaAFSCME Memorandum of Understanding
July 1,2022-June 30, 2026
4.Scope
A. Management Rights
The scope of representation shall include all matters relating to wages, hours and other terms and conditions of employment, except however, that the scope of representation shall not include consideration of the merits, necessity or organization of any department, commission, board or committee provided by law or executive order, which shall include but not be limited to the right of the City to: direct, supervise, hire, promote, discipline, discharge, transfer, assign, schedule and retain employees; relieve employees from duties because of lack of work or funds, determine services to be rendered, operations to be performed, utilization of technology, and overall budgetary matters; determine the methods, means, job classifications, and personnel by which government operations are to be conducted; determine the overall mission of the unit of government; maintain and improve the efficiency and effectiveness of government operations.
The exercise of these rights does not preclude employees or their representatives from consulting about the impacts these decisions have had on wages, hours and other terms and conditions of employment or raising a grievance on those matters pursuant to the grievance procedure.
B. Employee Rights
1. The designated union officers and stewards shall be granted necessary time off to engage in contract disputes during the term of the MOD, and the adjustment of grievances of employees in the bargaining unit, subject to the limitations set forth in this MOD. Except in extraordinary circumstances, these permitted activities performed during the normal employee duty time of such designated and appointed officers and stewards shall fall within one of the following categories:
a) Discuss with an employee a grievance or workplace related complaint which may lead to a grievance or contract violation; b) Make inquiries in order to obtain relevant information related to a grievance, including discussions with supervisors, other employees or other management officials provided that such 2 City of Pasadena
2. AFSCME Memorandum of Understanding
July 1,2022-June 30, 2026
inquiry will not include the right, while on City time, to question visitors or non-employees of the City;
c) Assist employees in preparation for, or represent employees in, the appeal and review steps of the grievance procedure or in arbitration;
d) Attend meetings with supervisors or other management officials with respect to grievance adjustments, consultation or general discussion directly related to wages, hours or working conditions, and other matters mutually agreed upon;
e) Prepare for meetings mutually agreed by the City and the Union to be scheduled for conferral or other purposes.
Subject to the initial provisions of this MOD with respect to paid time for such activities, the City agrees that duly designated union officers and other representatives will be allowed to meet with management representatives during normal working hours without loss of pay. The foregoing release from normal working duties is subject, however, to the requirement that when any such designated union officer or representative is representing an employee, he/she will request the permission of his/her immediate supervisor in reasonable advance of any meeting, advising the supervisor of his destination and when he/she expects to return. Such request will be granted by the supervisor unless work processes require the presence of the employee at that time. Upon returning to his/her duty station, the union officer or representative will notify his/her supervisor. Upon arriving at the work place of the employee to be represented, the union officer or representative will normally be permitted to contact the employee. The represented employee also shall be required to request permission for time off in reasonable advance of any meeting. To the maximum extent possible, interviews between representatives and the employees will be held away from other employees and away from the public. If the union official is not permitted to contact the employee at the immediate time of arrival at the work place, the supervisor in charge will advise the union officer or steward the reason why he/she cannot do so and the time when the employee will be available.

However, if a decision is made by the City to contract work not now contracted, and that decision will result in a change in the work status of employees in the AFSCME representational unit, prior to concluding the research and analysis necessary for the implementation of such a decision, the City will meet and confer in good faith concerning the manpower resource considerations involved and receive recommendations from the Union to reduce the impact upon jobs performed by unit employees. All such input and recommendations by the Union will be given consideration before presenting a contracting recommendation to the City Council.
B. In those instances where bargaining unit work is currently being contracted, and the City proposes to amend such contracts to include additional bargaining unit work not currently contracted, the City and Union agree to meet and confer over any impact that such contract amendments may have on wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment.
C. Further, it is agreed that when existing contracts are presented to the City Council for renewal, the parties may, upon request of the Union, meet and consult over the ongoing impact of such contracts on the bargaining unit. This provision shall not apply to contracts up for automatic renewal.
10. Drug and Alcohol Use
The parties, hereto, agree that the abuse of drugs or alcohol causes health and safety problems in the work environment and that such conduct is likely to result in reduced productivity and liability to the City. Without detracting from the rights and obligations of the parties, the City and Union agree to cooperate in encouraging employees affected with the condition of alcohol or drug abuse to undergo a program directed to the objective of their rehabilitation and to take steps necessary to minimize the impact of substance abuse. 52 City of PasadenaAFSCME Memorandum of Understanding
July 1,2022-June 30, 2026
A.Purpose
1. It is the purpose of this policy to eliminate substance abuse and its effects in the workplace, and to ensure that employees are in a condition to perform their duties safely and efficiently, in the interests of their fellow workers and the public as well as themselves.
2. Notwithstanding any provision in this policy, the parties understand that the City may discipline employees based on its investigation of misconduct, either on duty or off duty.
B.
1. It is the City's policy that employees shall not be under the influence of or in possession of alcohol or drugs while on City property, at work locations, while on duty, or before reporting for duty; shall not utilize such substances when they have a reasonable expectation of call-in for duty; shall not possess, provide or sell illegal drugs to any other employee or to any person while on duty; nor have their ability to work impaired as a result of the use of alcohol or drugs (whether lawful or unlawful drugs).
2. While use of medically prescribed medications and drugs is not per se a violation of this policy, employees must notify their supervisor, before beginning work, when taking medications or drugs (including the possible effects of taking such medication and drugs) which could foreseeably interfere with the safe and effective performance of duties or operation of equipment. 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 qualified physician may be required.
3. If the City has a reasonable suspicion that an employee may have drugs, alcohol or paraphernalia related to its use on City property, the City may search, without employee consent, all areas and property in which the City maintains control or joint control with the employee, such as desk, file cabinets, City vehicles, etc. Otherwise the City may notify the appropriate law enforcement agency that an employee may have illegal drugs in his or her possession or in an area not jointly or fully controlled 53 City of Pasadena
4. 5.
AFSCME Memorandum of Understanding
July 1,2022-June 30, 2026
by the City, such as lockers assigned exclusively for the employee's personal use.
Employee's reasonably believed to be under the influence of alcohol or drugs may be prevented from engaging in further work and may, for safety purposes, be provided transportation from the work site.
The City is committed to providing reasonable opportunity for rehabilitation for those employees whose drug or alcohol problem classifies them as disabled under federal and/or state law. Persons whose use of drugs or alcohol prohibits them from performing the duties of their position, or whose use constitutes a direct threat to property or the safety of others, are not considered disabled under federal or state law. In addition, the parties acknowledge that users of unlawful drugs are also not considered disabled under state or federal law.
6. The City has established a voluntary Employee Assistance Program (EAP) to assist those employees who voluntarily seek help from alcohol or drug problems. Employees should contact their supervisors or the City's Wellness Coordinator in the Human Resources Department for additional information.
7. Employees who voluntarily seek treatment for substance abuse requiring an absence from work may, with department director approval, be allowed to use earned sick leave and/or vacation during such absence. In the absence of any pending disciplinary action, employees may admit to a substance abuse problem without fear of reprisal because of their admission or abuse problem.
C. Application
This policy applies to all employees of and to all applicants for positions with the City of Pasadena. This policy applies to alcohol and to all substances, drugs, or medications, legal or illegal, which could impair an employee's ability to effectively and safely perform the functions of the job.
D. Employee Responsibilities
1. In the interest of safety and individual responsibility, employees should 54 City of PasadenaAFSCME Memorandum of Understanding
July 1,2022-June 30, 2026
take action they deem appropriate or report the matter to supervision when they have knowledge of objective evidence that other employees may be under the influence of drugs or alcohol, or engaged in illegal drug related activities that impinge on their employment.
2. For purposes of this policy, the City expects employees to:
a) Refrain from the use of, possession of, illegal drugs or narcotics while on duty, or off duty;
b) Not report to work while their ability to perform job duties is impaired due to on or off duty alcohol or drug use;
c) Not possess or use alcohol or impairing drugs (illegal drugs and prescription drugs without a prescription) during working hours or at any time while on City property;
d) Not directly or through a third party sell or provide illegal drugs to any person, including any employee, while either employee or both employees are on duty;
e) Submit immediately to a urine, breath or blood test, or other test as deemed appropriate, when ordered by a supervisor or
manager who has reasonable suspicion that an employee is impaired or under the influence of drugs or alcohol while on the job;
f) Notify their supervisor, before beginning work, when having consumed alcohol or when taking any medications or drugs, prescription or non-prescription, which may interfere with the safe and effective performance of duties or operation of equipment; and
g) Provide within 24 hours of request bona fide verification of a current valid prescription for any potentially impairing drug or medication identified when a drug screen/test is positive. The prescription must be in the employee's name.
h) Employees who believe they may have an alcohol or drug usage 55 City of PasadenaAFSCME Memorandum of Understanding
July 1,2022-June 30, 2026
problem are urged to voluntarily seek confidential assistance from the Employee Assistance Program or other resources available in the community.
E. Management Responsibilities and_Guidelines
1. Managers and supervisors are responsible for reasonable enforcement of this policy, and for the administration of discipline as deemed appropriate, consistent with the Discipline section.
2. Managers and supervisors may request and, if necessary, subsequently order that an employee submit to a drug and/or alcohol test when a manager or supervisor has a reasonable suspicion that an employee is intoxicated or under the influence of drugs or alcohol while on the job. "Reasonable suspicion" is a belief based on objective fact sufficient to lead a reasonably prudent person 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 their job safely is reduced. In addition, reasonable suspicion may be based on:
a) Possession of alcohol or drugs; or
b) Information obtained from a reliable person with personal knowledge. The supervisor shall make reasonable attempts to verify or corroborate such information prior to requesting or ordering an employee to submit to a drug test.
3. If the manager or supervisor reasonably believes that an employee is under the influence, the employee shall be advised of their right to representation. Upon the employee's request for representation, any interrogation or testing shall cease until representation is present, unless representation is not immediately available.
4. Any manager or supervisor requesting or ordering an employee to submit to a drug and/or alcohol test shall document in writing the facts constituting reasonable suspicion that the employee in question is intoxicated or under the influence of drugs. The manager or supervisor shall seek confirmation of their "reasonable suspicion" determination 56 City of Pasadena
F.
5. AFSCME Memorandum of Understanding
July 1,2022-June 30, 2026
through another supervisory management employee. When possible, the supervisor shall seek the opinion of a person such as a police officer who is trained to recognize persons under the influence prior to ordering an employee to submit to a drug test.
Any manager or supervisor encountering an employee who refuses an order to submit to a drug and/or alcohol analysis shall remind the employee that failure to comply is insubordination, constitutes a positive test and the consequences that flow from such a test and may result in disciplinary action. Where there is reasonable suspicion that the employee is under the influence of or impairment by alcohol or drugs, the manager or supervisor shall, for safety purposes, provide the employee transportation from the work site to the facility to be tested.
Managers and supervisors shall not physically search the person of employees, nor shall they search the personal possessions of employees without the consent of the employee.
The City reserves the right to notify the appropriate law enforcement agency when they have reasonable suspicion to believe that an employee may have illegal drugs in their possession, or when the supervisor is unable to reasonably control a situation where the employee poses a potential liability to themselves or others.
Physical Examination and Procedure
The urine, breath, blood, or other appropriate test may test for any substances which could impair an employee's ability to effectively and safely perform the functions of their job, including, but not limited to, prescription medications, alcohol, heroin, cocaine, morphine and its derivatives, PCP, methadone, barbiturates, amphetamines, marijuana and other cannabinoids. Any positive drug test shall be confirmed by a reliable test. The confirming test must be at the same or better level of accuracy as a Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry (GC/MS) test. Employees who are being tested shall have the right to request a sample split for analysis by an independent laboratory.

1. A positive result with confirmation from a drug and/or alcohol analysis 57 City of Pasadena
2. 3.
AFSCME Memorandum of Understanding
July 1,2022-June 30, 2026
may result in disciplinary action, up to and including discharge. However, consideration may be given to postpone, reduce or cancel pending disciplinary action when an employee voluntarily obtains treatment for a substance abuse problem.
If the drug screen is positive, the employee must provide within 24 hours of request bona fide verification of a valid current prescription for the drug identified in the drug screen. The prescription must be in the employee's name. If the employee does not provide acceptable verification of a valid prescription, or if the prescription is not in the employee's name, or if the employee has not previously notified their supervisor, the employee will be subject to disciplinary action up to,and including, discharge.
If an alcohol or drug test is positive for alcohol or drugs, the City shall immediately conduct an investigation to gather all facts. Any decision to discipline or discharge will be made at the earliest possible time and shall be carried out in conformance with applicable discipline procedures.
H.Confidentiality
Laboratory reports or test results shall not appear in an employee's general personnel folder. Information of this nature will be contained in a separate confidential medical folder that will be securely kept under the control of the Director of Human Resources. Disclosures, without patient consent, may also occur when: (1) the information is compelled by law or by judicial or administrative process; (2) the information has been placed at issue in a formal dispute between the employer and employee; (3) the information is to be used in administering an employee benefit plan; (4) the information is needed by medical personnel for the diagnosis or treatment of the patient who is unable to authorize disclosure.
11. Safety Responsibility
The parties, hereto, agree that a successful health and safety program depends on a cooperative effort among the parties, and the active participation in and support of safe working practices. In recognition of these shared responsibilities, the parties hereto agree to assume active roles in maintaining a viable safety and health program; cooperate in promoting safety; and encourage fellow workers to observe safety rules while performing their duties. 58 City of PasadenaAFSCME Memorandum of Understanding
July 1,2022-June 30, 2026
12. No Smoking Policy
Employees will observe the No Smoking Policy as adopted by the City.
13.Transportation Demand Management Program (PrideShare) Unit members must participate in the PrideShare program as identified in the City's Personnel Manual of Policies and Procedures.

14.Child Care Subsidy Program
Employees holding classifications represented by the American Federation of State, County and Municipal Employees are eligible to participate in the Child Care Subsidy Program subject to the guidelines and parameters established by the City. Subsequent changes, if any, to the Program and/or benefit levels may be made at the discretion of the City, following notice and the opportunity to meet and confer being provided to the Union.
15. Light Duty - Police Department
A. At the discretion of the Police Department, a limited number of temporary light duty positions may be identified for persons holding the classification title of Jailor. Light duty assignments may occur outside the Jail Section. Approved light duty assignments may require a change of work hours and/or days off.
B. Employees injured on duty may be assigned light duty positions by the Police Department. Employees injured off duty may request assignments to light duty positions. Requests involving off duty injury may be approved by the Department, in its discretion.
C. Light duty assignments shall be limited to sixty (60) calendar days. No employee shall be assigned to light duty when the initial medical evaluation indicates that the employee shall be off duty for more than sixty (60) days. Short term extensions of light duty assignments may be approved by the Police Department when a medical evaluation indicates that an employee's return is imminent at the end of the sixty day period. A woman disabled by pregnancy may be entitled to light duty.
59 AFSCME Memorandum of Understanding
July 1,2022-June 30, 2026
City of Pasadena
D. This provision shall apply only to Jailors in the Police Department.
16. Class B Driver's License - Public Works Maintenance Worker III A. The parties recognize that as a condition of continued employment, all Public Works Maintenance Worker Ill's must possess and maintain a valid Class B California Driver's License. The parties further agree as follows:
1. It is not the intent of the City for employees to have to assume new duties and responsibilities, as a result of the Class B license requirement.
However, the City reserves its right to assign work as needed, and to add new duties, subject to its obligation to meet and confer over any negotiable impact that such decisions may have;
2. The cost of obtaining a Class B license, as well as the cost of subsequent renewals, will be borne by the employee's department;
3. The City will continue to provide training for employees prior to testing for the Class B license;
4. Probationary employees will have six (6) months from their date of hire to obtain the Class B license. Any permanent employee who holds the classification title of Public Works Maintenance Worker III as of the date of this agreement, and who does not currently possess a Class B license, will have six months from the date of this agreement to obtain one, provided that the City first affords the employee the necessary in-house training;
5. If a Maintenance Worker III who was employed as of July 3, 2006, in a position that requires a Class B license provides verification of a medical condition which prevents him/her from obtaining a Class B license, he/she will not be required to obtain one as a condition of continued employment. The City reserves the right to require an employee to undergo a Department of Motor Vehicles physical examination, to confirm that he/she is medically precluded from obtaining a Class B license. Such examinations shall be at the City's expense.
Notwithstanding the above paragraph, if a Maintenance Worker III employed in such a position as of July 3, 2006, obtained a Class B license, the employee must continue to possess the license as a condition of employment; provided, however, if the employee becomes medically 60 City of PasadenaAFSCME Memorandum of Understanding
July 1,2022-June 30, 2026
precluded from obtaining a Class B license, the City will provide the employee with all of his/her rights under the ADA prior to taking any adverse employment action.
