CITY OF REDDING HAZMAT RESPONSE PROGRAM
CLERICAL, TECHNICAL AND PROFESSIONAL
The City of Redding is required to establish procedures for handling accidental releases of hazardous materials from City water and wastewater facilities. The current primary hazardous chemicals of concern include chlorine and sulphur dioxide gases which are utilized at City water and wastewater treatment facilities or other hazardous materials commonly used in water and wastewater facilities in the United States, as well as other chemicals at the treatment facilities now and in the future which do not exceed "potential hazards" as listed in the North American Emergency Response Guidebook, 2000 edition, "Guide Section #124," page 212. A Hazardous Materials Response (HAZMAT) Team has been established to perform work to handle and control leaks or spills requiring close approach to a substance. The team will respond to releases or potential releases of hazardous substances for the purposes of control and stabilization of an incident. The team shall consist of a minimum of five (5) members as follows: one (1) incident commander, two (2) entry personnel, and two (2) decontamination/rescue personnel. Incident Command functions shall normally be conducted by Redding Municipal Utility Managers or RIEO Supervisory/Confidential Unit employees. Entry and decontamination functions shall normally be conducted by water and wastewater treatment plant staff. If a sufficient number of Redding Municipal Utility Managers or RIEO-affiliated team members are not on site, any team member may be assigned to any role on the team for which they are qualified. In addition, the City may cross-train employees on all functions of the team, regardless of Union or non-Union affiliation.
In addition to training for and response to hazardous materials releases at wastewater and water treatment facilities, as noted above, team members will train for and respond to hazardous chemical releases outside of Redding Municipal Utilities water and wastewater treatment facilities and within the Redding Fire Jurisdiction requiring the performance of decontamination duties and tasks only, as distinguished from entry and rescue duties and tasks.
Members of the team must be proven qualified and capable of performing during response conditions. Such conditions may cause high levels of exposure to toxic substances which pose danger to employees and require immediate attention. For those incidents where the substance can be absorbed, neutralized, or otherwise controlled at the time of release by any employee in the immediate release area, or by maintenance personnel, such incidents shall not be considered an emergency response within the scope of this program.
Participation on the team will be voluntary. All members of the team must be willing to actively participate in all required elements of the program.
Training and testing will be paid by the City and conducted during City work hours.
The number of members on the team and the time frame in which additional members will be included will be determined by the City. However, the ratio of RIEO represented team members to non-RIEO represented team members will not be fewer than three to one, excluding Unrepresented Management Employees, provided adequate numbers of RIEO team members are available.
Packet Pg. 1144 Attachment: MOU RIEO CTP 2022 redline version (9.15(b)--Amendments to the MOUs for RIEO and RPOA-MISC) MINIMUM STANDARDS:
A. Must be a full-time employee with no medical condition, or other conditions, which require(s) any restriction of work duties required of team members. Employees will be removed from the team if they are unavailable or expected to be unavailable for response when called or unfit for duty for a period of at least sixty (60) days.
B. Must successfully pass a pulmonary function test, a respirator fit test and medical history review, as determined by the City's physician. Testing will be paid by the City. If the employee fails any of the said tests and one subsequent retest and chooses to challenge the results, the costs of further testing will be borne by the City, with covered costs limited to one City-approved pulmonary specialist and subsequent tests prescribed by that specialist.
During the period of such subsequent testing, but not longer than sixty (60) days, current City-certified team members may participate in all team activities with the exception of those that require donning a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). If the results of such subsequent testing reveal the affected employee cannot be cleared for SCBA and HAZMAT duties, the member shall be removed from the team.
C. Must successfully pass a basic physical fitness test. Testing will consist of medically qualifying with a blood pressure of 150/90 or less and completing the obstacle course at the Stillwater Plant (patterned after the Butte College HAZMAT course) while suited up in a Level "A" response suit. The course will include activities such as moving tools, walking up and down obstacles, opening and closing valves, installing a chlorine repair kit, and simulated victim rescue. The minimum time limit on respirator air will be twenty (20) minutes, and the maximum time on air will be thirty (30) minutes, with a maximum use of 2,500 pounds of air when the ambient air temperature at the staging location is 75 degrees Fahrenheit or lower. Whenever the ambient air temperature is greater than 75 degrees, an additional 100 pounds of air will be allowed for up to every two (2) degrees Fahrenheit increase in temperature above 75 degrees, so that 76 to 77 degrees would allow 2,600 pounds, 78 to 79 degrees would allow 2,700 pounds, etc. Temperature readings will be rounded to the nearest full degree.
D. Must successfully complete a minimum of twenty-four (24) hours of hazardous materials emergency response training as defined by the California Code of Regulations, Title 8 of the General Industrial Safety Orders Section 5192 Hazardous Materials Technician, including actual corrective response exercises utilizing a self-contained breathing apparatus and a Level "A" response suit. Team members must also successfully complete a minimum of sixteen (16) hours of hazardous materials emergency response training as defined by the California Specialized Training Institute (CSTI) for First Responder OperationalDecontamination.
E. Upon completion of items A through D, above, must participate as a HAZMAT team member during at least one (1) City combined water and wastewater emergency response training exercise.
F. Employee must commit to maintaining physical conditioning as needed to qualify for the team. To the extent practicable, team members will receive approval from their supervisor to modify work schedules in order to assist employees in maintaining their physical condition.
Packet Pg. 1145 Attachment: MOU RIEO CTP 2022 redline version (9.15(b)--Amendments to the MOUs for RIEO and RPOA-MISC) G. Employee must commit to serving on the team for twelve (12) consecutive months, including active participation in training, planning, and maintenance activities related to the team. Employee must respond to incidents when called and fit for duty.
H. Employee must commit to maintaining facial hair such that it does not come between the sealing surface of the face-piece and the face or such that it does not interfere with valve function.
I. Pursuant to California Code Regulations Title 8, General Industrial Safety Orders Section 5192, the City will certify employees who have completed required training and who are eligible to participate on the HAZMAT Team.
MAINTAINING QUALIFICATION: The following standards must be satisfied:
A. Items A, B, C, F, G, and H, above, must be successfully repeated annually, or more often if advised by the City's physician. Any failure will require retesting which, if not successful within sixty (60) calendar days of original failure, will result in City removing the employee from the HAZMAT Team until the employee is re-qualified.
B. Annually, participate as a HAZMAT Team member during at least two (2) different City combined water and wastewater emergency response training exercises, which will be scheduled quarterly, or whenever possible. Medically qualify and properly utilize a SCBA and a Level "A" training suit during at least two of these exercises or during additional obstacle courses as approved by the Water or Wastewater Utility Manager.
C. Annually, participate in at least six (6) of the monthly equipment checks, procedure reviews, or tailgate safety discussions on hazardous material issues of concern with supervisory staff at the employee's primary work site.
D. In addition to Items A, B, and C, above, annually successfully complete a minimum of eight (8) hour HAZMAT re-certification training.
RE-QUALIFICATION: Before being reinstated to the HAZMAT Team, the employee must satisfy the deficiency (ies); provide a medical release for full work duties as approved by the City physician; complete Minimum Standards item "C," above; and meet any requirements defined in this agreement that have lapsed since the last training cycle.
ELIGIBILITY: Effective June 27, 2017 HAZMAT team participants will be selected from the following classifications:
Public Works Supervisor regularly assigned to Water Treatment Public Works Supervisor regularly assigned to Wastewater Treatment Public Works Supervisor regularly assigned to Wastewater Collections Public Works Supervisor regularly assigned to Water Distribution Working Supervisor – Water Plant
Working Supervisor - Wastewater Plant
Senior Water Plant Operator
Senior Wastewater Plant Operator
Water Treatment Operator

Packet Pg. 1146 Attachment: MOU RIEO CTP 2022 redline version (9.15(b)--Amendments to the MOUs for RIEO and RPOA-MISC) In order to balance and maximize the HAZMAT team’s familiarity with each treatment facility where chlorine or sulfur dioxide are stored, the filling of future treatment plant related vacancies will be done with the objective of achieving the following distribution of ten (10) treatment related positions:
Water Treatment – (1) Public Works Supervisor and (3) eligible treatment positions from Water Treatment.
Stillwater Treatment – (1) Public Works Supervisor and (2) eligible positions from SWTP.
Clear Creek Treatment – (1) Public Works Supervisor and (2) eligible positions from CCWTP.
The City is willing to meet with RIEO and discuss changes to the RIEO HAZMAT team, as the need arises, if the team is to be reduced, expanded, or there is a delay in filling vacancies. All current team members as of June 27, 2017, will be grandfathered to the team. Once the current Industrial Waste Analyst departs from the team, the City will endeavor to backfill the vacancy with an eligible position from one of the three plants.
It is the City’s intent to balance staffing between the Wastewater and Water Treatment plants, using the maximum number of team members identified at each plant. When vacancies occur, the plant with the least number of team members will be offered the position first. The position will be offered to the most senior person. Should there be two plants with an equal number of team members, but less than the identified number for the plant, the position will be offered to the individual in the qualified position, who has the most seniority. If the most senior candidate is not qualified or does not accept the position the City will strive to fill the position through the lines of progression within the same impacted plant.
The City retains its discretion whether or not vacancies are filled. However, the ratio of RIEO represented team members to non-RIEO represented team members will not be fewer than three to one, excluding Unrepresented Management employees, provided adequate numbers of RIEO team members are available.
If the City decides to fill a vacancy, the City will endeavor to fill the vacant position within 90 days.
If it cannot be filled within the 90 days, the City will discuss the matter with RIEO. When a member takes a position outside of the defined eligible staff, that member shall forfeit the position on the team. City will endeavor to maintain a position on the team for either the Public Works Supervisor Distribution or Public Works Supervisor Collections but not for both.

However, if there has been a reduction of forces or the employee=s position has been eliminated during said leave, the employee will be placed in the position the employee would be in had the employee not been on a leave of absence.
16.4 An employee=s status as a Regular employee will not be impaired by such leave of absence and the employee=s seniority will accrue.
16.5 If an employee fails to return immediately on the expiration of the employee=s leave of absence or if the employee accepts other full time employment while on leave, the employee will thereby forfeit the leave of absence and terminate the employee=s employment with the City.
16.6 An employee on a leave of absence as provided herein shall not accrue vacation or sick leave benefits nor maintain group health and welfare insurance coverage. An employee may, however, at their option and expense, maintain the employee’s group health and welfare insurance coverage providing the full monthly premium is received by the City Treasurer on or before the first day of the month for which the premium is intended. Notwithstanding the above, however, if the leave of absence is as a result of exhaustion of sick leave benefits an employee’s group health and welfare insurance may be maintained for up to three (3) calendar months utilizing the normal premium-sharing formula, providing the employee pays their share of the premium on a timely basis.
Packet Pg. 1171 Attachment: MOU RIEO SC 2022 redline version (9.15(b)--Amendments to the MOUs for RIEO and RPOA-MISC) 18 16.7 The Parties acknowledge the provisions of State and Federal law governing family leaves.
The Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), which is subject to legislative change, currently entitles those employees who have worked twelve hundred fifty (1,250) or more hours during the preceding twelve (12) month period to take up to twelve (12) weeks of unpaid, job protected, leave during any twelve (12) month period for serious health condition of employee or immediate family member or for child birth or adoption.
An employee is required, to give thirty (30) days advance notice when leave is foreseeable, provide periodic medical certifications as to the conditions necessitating the leave and report at the request of the City during the leave regarding the employee=s status and intention to return to work. Health insurance benefits will be continued on the same basis as prior to the FMLA leave. Annually the City will post the applicable State and Federal laws pertaining to family leave including maternity/paternity leave.
16.8 An employee may use sick leave, vacation or other accrued leave for a normal disability period of maternity leave of up to six (6) weeks. That period may be extended with acceptable written medical certification, if disability continues after the six (6) week period. If an employee elects to remain off work for a longer period of time, the general provisions for Leave of Absence apply.

The City may also require an employee requesting to return to work after sick leave or leave of absence for medical or psychiatric reasons to submit to an examination by a physician or physicians approved by City for the purpose of determining that Packet Pg. 1172 Attachment: MOU RIEO SC 2022 redline version (9.15(b)--Amendments to the MOUs for RIEO and RPOA-MISC) 19 such employee is physically or mentally fit and able to perform the duties of the employee=s former position without hazard to the employee, fellow employees or to the employee=s own health. Such examination or examinations shall be at the sole expense of the City, and the employee shall be placed on leave with pay for the purposes of such examination.

If the employee returns to duty, such advanced sick leave shall be returned to the City from subsequent sick leave accruals. If the employee terminates City employment, such advanced sick leave shall be repaid to the City from any funds due the employee by the City. If sufficient funds are due the employee by the City, the employee shall directly reimburse the City for advanced sick leave in excess of the funds, if any, previously withheld.
Such direct reimbursement will be waived for employees who are terminally ill or totally disabled (100%).
18.6 Any employee who after ten (10) years of continuous service to the City terminates employment shall be paid at the employee=s regular pay rate for thirty-three and one-third percent (33- 1/3%) of the employee=s accumulated sick leave hours. For employees with fifteen (15) years or more but less than twenty (20) years of continuous service, the percentage set forth above shall be increased to fortyfive percent (45%). For employees with twenty (20) years or more of continuous service, the percentage set forth above shall be increased to sixty percent (60%). Pursuant to the contract between the City of Redding and the California Public Employees= Retirement System (CalPERS), when an employee makes an election to accept payment at the rates specified above, all remaining unused sick leave will be used for service credit with CalPERS. Employees have the option to take less sick leave pay-out and report more hours to CalPERS. If no such election is made, all sick leave will be used for service credit with CalPERS.

The City will not contribute payments on behalf of any retiree hired prior to May 6, 2008, except as set forth above. (Employees who retired prior to May 1, 2001, are eligible for health coverage only.) (b) Tier 2 - Hired On or After May 6, 2008
All active employees hired on or after May 6, 2008, who retire from the City and have five (5) or more years of City service (and are eligible for CalPERS benefits upon separation of service) shall be eligible for the City to pay a proportionate share of the cost of the insurance premiums in accordance with the following formula: two percent (2%) for every year of active service with the City of Redding up to a maximum of fifty percent (50%) should the employee transitioning to retirement elect to participate in the group health, dental and vision plan also made available to active employees. To initially qualify for the benefit, the employee must go directly from active status to retiree status with CalPERS. To maintain a qualified status, and to continue to receive the benefit, the retired employee must continue the group medical insurance during retirement without a break in coverage and the retired employee and their covered spouses who reach Medicare A/B eligibility age must enroll in Medicare. Payments by the City will be discontinued upon termination of group medical insurance coverage by the City retiree or loss of qualified status by the retiree. Following the death a retiree, the surviving spouse, if any, may continue the insurance and the City will continue the benefit on the same terms and conditions for the life of the surviving spouse. The City will not contribute payments on behalf of any retiree hired on or after May 6, 2008 except as set forth above. Tier 2 is not a vested benefit and is subject to change for then active employees in a successor MOU. Benefits will not be changed for already retired employees.
(c) Retiring employees who were hired or who worked under a different Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) or City Resolution (a different bargaining group) shall receive the greatest retiree premium co-share formula in effect and for which that employee qualified for during his or her term of employment.

CITY OF REDDING HAZMAT RESPONSE PROGRAM
SUPERVISOR/CONFIDENTIAL UNIT
The City of Redding is required to establish procedures for handling accidental releases of hazardous materials from City water and wastewater facilities. The current primary hazardous chemicals of concern include chlorine and sulphur dioxide gases which are utilized at City water and wastewater treatment facilities or other hazardous materials commonly used in water and wastewater facilities in the United States, as well as other chemicals at the treatment facilities now and in the future which do not exceed "potential hazards" as listed in the North American Emergency Response Guidebook, 2000 edition, "Guide Section #124," page 212. A Hazardous Materials Response (HAZMAT) Team has been established to perform work to handle and control leaks or spills requiring close approach to a substance. The team will respond to releases or potential releases of hazardous substances for the purposes of control and stabilization of an incident. The team shall consist of a minimum of five (5) members as follows: one (1) incident commander, two (2) entry personnel, and two (2) decontamination/rescue personnel. Incident Command functions shall normally be conducted by Redding Municipal Utility Managers or RIEO Supervisory/Confidential Unit employees. Entry and decontamination functions shall normally be conducted by water and wastewater treatment plant staff.
If a sufficient number of Redding Municipal Utility Managers or RIEO-affiliated team members are not on site, any team member may be assigned to any role on the team for which they are qualified. In addition, the City may cross-train employees on all functions of the team, regardless of Union or nonUnion affiliation.
In addition to training for and response to hazardous materials releases at wastewater and water treatment facilities, as noted above, team members will train for and respond to hazardous chemical releases outside of Redding Municipal Utilities water and wastewater treatment facilities and within the Redding Fire Jurisdiction requiring the performance of decontamination duties and tasks only, as distinguished from entry and rescue duties and tasks.
Members of the team must be proven qualified and capable of performing during response conditions.
Such conditions may cause high levels of exposure to toxic substances which pose danger to employees and require immediate attention. For those incidents where the substance can be absorbed, neutralized, or otherwise controlled at the time of release by any employee in the immediate release area, or by maintenance personnel, such incidents shall not be considered an emergency response within the scope of this program.
Participation on the team will be voluntary. All members of the team must be willing to actively participate in all required elements of the program.
Training and testing will be paid by the City and conducted during City work hours.
The number of members on the team and the time frame in which additional members will be included will be determined by the City. However, the ratio of RIEO represented team members to non-RIEO represented team members will not be fewer than three to one, excluding Unrepresented Management Employees, provided adequate numbers of RIEO team members are available.
Packet Pg. 1215 Attachment: MOU RIEO SC 2022 redline version (9.15(b)--Amendments to the MOUs for RIEO and RPOA-MISC) MINIMUM STANDARDS:
A. Must be a full-time employee with no medical condition, or other conditions, which require(s) any restriction of work duties required of team members. Employees will be removed from the team if they are unavailable or expected to be unavailable for response when called or unfit for duty for a period of at least sixty (60) days.
B. Must successfully pass a pulmonary function test, a respirator fit test and medical history review, as determined by the City's physician. Testing will be paid by the City. If the employee fails any of the said tests and one subsequent retest and chooses to challenge the results, the costs of further testing will be borne by the City, with covered costs limited to one City-approved pulmonary specialist and subsequent tests prescribed by that specialist. During the period of such subsequent testing, but not longer than sixty (60) days, current City-certified team members may participate in all team activities with the exception of those that require donning a self-contained breathing apparatus (SCBA). If the results of such subsequent testing reveal the affected employee cannot be cleared for SCBA and HAZMAT duties, the member shall be removed from the team.
C. Must successfully pass a basic physical fitness test. Testing will consist of medically qualifying with a blood pressure of 150/90 or less and completing the obstacle course at the Stillwater Plant (patterned after the Butte College HAZMAT course) while suited up in a Level "A" response suit. The course will include activities such as moving tools, walking up and down obstacles, opening and closing valves, installing a chlorine repair kit, and simulated victim rescue. The minimum time limit on respirator air will be twenty (20) minutes, and the maximum time on air will be thirty (30) minutes, with a maximum use of 2,500 pounds of air when the ambient air temperature at the staging location is 75 degrees Fahrenheit or lower.
Whenever the ambient air temperature is greater than 75 degrees, an additional 100 pounds of air will be allowed for up to every two (2) degrees Fahrenheit increase in temperature above 75 degrees, so that 76 to 77 degrees would allow 2,600 pounds, 78 to 79 degrees would allow 2,700 pounds, etc. Temperature readings will be rounded to the nearest full degree.
D. Must successfully complete a minimum of twenty-four (24) hours of hazardous materials emergency response training as defined by the California Code of Regulations, Title 8 of the General Industrial Safety Orders Section 5192 Hazardous Materials Technician, including actual corrective response exercises utilizing a self-contained breathing apparatus and a Level "A" response suit. Team members must also successfully complete a minimum of sixteen (16) hours of hazardous materials emergency response training as defined by the California Specialized Training Institute (CSTI) for First Responder Operational-Decontamination.
E. Upon completion of items A through D, above, must participate as a HAZMAT team member during at least one (1) City combined water and wastewater emergency response training exercise.
F. Employee must commit to maintaining physical conditioning as needed to qualify for the team.
To the extent practicable, team members will receive approval from their supervisor to modify work schedules in order to assist employees in maintaining their physical condition.
G. Employee must commit to serving on the team for twelve (12) consecutive months, including active participation in training, planning, and maintenance activities related to the team.
Employee must respond to incidents when called and fit for duty.
Packet Pg. 1216 Attachment: MOU RIEO SC 2022 redline version (9.15(b)--Amendments to the MOUs for RIEO and RPOA-MISC) H. Employee must commit to maintaining facial hair such that it does not come between the sealing surface of the face-piece and the face or such that it does not interfere with valve function.
I. Pursuant to California Code Regulations Title 8, General Industrial Safety Orders Section 5192, the City will certify employees who have completed required training and who are eligible to participate on the HAZMAT Team.
MAINTAINING QUALIFICATION: The following standards must be satisfied:
A. Items A, B, C, F, G, and H, above, must be successfully repeated annually, or more often if advised by the City's physician. Any failure will require retesting which, if not successful within sixty (60) calendar days of original failure, will result in City removing the employee from the HAZMAT Team until the employee is re-qualified.
B. Annually, participate as a HAZMAT Team member during at least two (2) different City combined water and wastewater emergency response training exercises, which will be scheduled quarterly, or whenever possible. Medically qualify and properly utilize a SCBA and a Level "A" training suit during at least two of these exercises or during additional obstacle courses as approved by the Water or Wastewater Utility Manager.
C. Annually, participate in at least six (6) of the monthly equipment checks, procedure reviews, or tailgate safety discussions on hazardous material issues of concern with supervisory staff at the employee's primary work site.
D. In addition to Items A, B, and C, above, annually successfully complete a minimum of eight (8) hour HAZMAT re-certification training.
RE-QUALIFICATION: Before being reinstated to the HAZMAT Team, the employee must satisfy the deficiency(ies); provide a medical release for full work duties as approved by the City physician; complete Minimum Standards item "C," above; and meet any requirements defined in this agreement that have lapsed since the last training cycle.
ELIGIBILITY: Effective June 27, 2017 HAZMAT team participants will be selected from the following classifications:
Public Works Supervisor regularly assigned to Water Treatment Public Works Supervisor regularly assigned to Wastewater Treatment Public Works Supervisor regularly assigned to Wastewater Collections Public Works Supervisor regularly assigned to Water Distribution Working Supervisor – Water Plant
Working Supervisor - Wastewater Plant
Senior Water Plant Operator
Senior Wastewater Plant Operator
Water Treatment Operator
Wastewater Treatment Operator
In order to balance and maximize the HAZMAT team’s familiarity with each treatment facility where chlorine or sulfur dioxide are stored, the filling of future treatment plant related vacancies will be done with the objective of achieving the following distribution of ten (10) treatment related positions:
Packet Pg. 1217 Attachment: MOU RIEO SC 2022 redline version (9.15(b)--Amendments to the MOUs for RIEO and RPOA-MISC) Water Treatment – (1) Public Works Supervisor and (3) eligible treatment positions from Water Treatment.
Stillwater Treatment – (1) Public Works Supervisor and (2) eligible positions from SWTP.
Clear Creek Treatment – (1) Public Works Supervisor and (2) eligible positions from CCWTP.
The City is willing to meet with RIEO and discuss changes to the RIEO HAZMAT team, as the need arises, if the team is to be reduced, expanded, or there is a delay in filling vacancies. All current team members as of June 27, 2017, will be grandfathered to the team. Once the current Industrial Waste Analyst departs from the team, the City will endeavor to backfill the vacancy with an eligible position from one of the three plants.
It is the City’s intent to balance staffing between the Wastewater and Water Treatment plants, using the maximum number of team members identified at each plant. When vacancies occur, the plant with the least number of team members will be offered the position first. The position will be offered to the most senior person. Should there be two plants with an equal number of team members, but less than the identified number for the plant, the position will be offered to the individual in the qualified position, who has the most seniority. If the most senior candidate is not qualified or does not accept the position the City will strive to fill the position through the lines of progression within the same impacted plant.
The City retains its discretion whether or not vacancies are filled. However, the ratio of RIEO represented team members to non-RIEO represented team members will not be fewer than three to one, excluding Unrepresented Management employees, provided adequate numbers of RIEO team members are available.
If the City decides to fill a vacancy, the City will endeavor to fill the vacant position within 90 days. If it cannot be filled within the 90 days, the City will discuss the matter with RIEO. When a member takes a position outside of the defined eligible staff, that member shall forfeit the position on the team.
City will endeavor to maintain a position on the team for either the Public Works Supervisor Distribution or Public Works Supervisor Collections but not for both.
Newly qualified employees who meet the Minimum Standards will not cause the removal of existing qualified employees who continue to meet the Minimum Standards for the length of any existing qualified employee's one-year commitment.
COMPENSATION: Fully qualified team members who are certified by the City and who continue to remain fully qualified for the team shall receive a six-and-one-half percent (6.5%) pay differential rolled into base compensation.
The City may reduce or increase the number of compensated positions on the HAZMAT response team if it deems such a measure necessary. In such circumstances, the eligibility provisions will govern who is certified and remains on the team. Where there are no team openings, at the supervisor's discretion, individual employees who request team membership and certification and who meet all eligibility criteria may volunteer to participate in selected training activities. These activities include:
Minimum Standards Items B, C, and D (but do not include participation on HAZMAT-related committees). Volunteers will not receive HAZMAT compensation to maintain their qualifications for future openings.

STANDBY DUTY - CERTIFIED WATER TREATMENT OPERATOR PERSONNEL Pursuant to the Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Redding and the Redding Independent Employees Organization-Clerical, Technical and Professional Unit, certain classifications and positions in the City’s Municipal Utilities services are subject to routine or periodic emergency call-back as an inherent and integral part of their assigned job responsibilities in order to provide continuous public services. In addition, Department Directors, or their designees, will be responsible for determining the circumstances requiring employees to be placed on standby duty periods.
Personnel shall be provided two (2) weeks advance notice of standby duty period. Employees placed on standby duty shall be qualified to safely perform such duties with skill and efficiency.
A. The City will establish a method for employees to volunteer for standby duty periods. Initially, seniority will establish the rolling list with later additions or changes made to the bottom of the list, with the exception of trades per item “G” below. In the event no one volunteers for a standby duty period, the City shall assign an employee to serve. Employees will be assigned based on standby duty served during the previous 12-month period. That is, the employee with the least amount of standby duty will be assigned. Certified Water Treatment Operator personnel will serve on standby duty for intervals up to one (1) week.
B. The employee on standby duty shall be required to carry a cellular telephone and/or pager at all times while on standby duty and remain within sixty minutes response time in order to be available for call-out. Telephone and paging equipment will be supplied by the City.
C. Standby personnel shall be required to be fit-for-duty and shall report to their normal headquarters as soon as possible within sixty (60) minutes. An employee on standby duty may, following notification of their supervisor, take a City vehicle home during the period for which that employee is on standby duty.
D. Standby personnel shall be required to respond unless the employee can provide just cause for not responding. If the employee is unable to respond for any reason, the employee must notify the supervisor as soon as possible. Any employee who is unable to fulfill their commitment to a standby duty period shall forfeit standby compensation for an entire day, twenty-four (24) hour period. An employee on standby duty will be required to respond to call-outs related only to water treatment plan alarms, water quality complaints, or intrusion alarms activated in treatment plant facilities.
E. Compensation for standby duty periods shall be paid as follows: one and one-half (1.5) hours’ overtime for each day on standby and three (3) hours of overtime for fixed holidays except for those holidays designated as floating holidays by the current Memorandums of Understanding.
F. In addition to compensation for standby duty, the overtime provisions of Article 12.6 shall apply if the employee assigned to standby duty is required to respond. Overtime will commence at the time the employee receives the call-out. If any employee receiving a call-out is able to resolve over the telephone the circumstances which gave rise to the call-out without having had to physically respond, that employee shall receive one-half (0.5) hour of overtime compensation.
G. Employees may trade complete standby duty periods at any time up until commencement of the duty period with prior approval of the supervisor.

WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to facilitate the peaceful adjustment of differences that may from time to time arise between them, to promote harmony and efficiency to the end that the City, the Association and the general public may benefit therefrom, and to establish fair and equitable wages, hours and working conditions for certain hereinafter designated employees of the City;
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties hereto do agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1: PREAMBLE
1.1 The parties acknowledge the provisions of Chapter 10 (Section 3500, et. seq.) of Division 4 of Title 1 of the Government Code of the State of California.
1.2 It is the policy of the City and the Association not to, and neither party will, interfere with, intimidate, restrain, coerce or discriminate against any employee because of race, color, sex, sexual orientation, citizenship status, marital status, ethnicity, age (for people 40 and older), religion, gender identity, gender expression, genetic information, national origin and ancestry, political affiliation, creed, military or veteran status, physical disability, mental disability, medical condition or any other characteristic protected by state or federal law.

The Association agrees that it will follow the procedures as set forth in this Memorandum of Understanding or the bargaining process required by the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act and will make every effort to persuade its members to also use the established procedures, rather than to use any other method or forum such as appeals directly to the news media or the City Council for resolution of problems or disputes arising out of this Memorandum of Understanding.

Probationary employees shall not be entitled to invoke Article 4, Grievance Procedure, with regard to matters of discharge, or demotion. This shall not, however, prevent a probationary employee from exercising any other rights under this Memorandum of Understanding. Every employee designated by the City to hear the grievance of a subordinate shall have the authority to settle that grievance.
4.2 For matters regarding MOU interpretation the following provisions will apply:
4.2(a) The initial step in the adjustment of a grievance shall be a discussion between the Association’s President or Vice President, or any other person designated by the grievant, and the immediate Management Supervisor directly involved, Division Head or Department Director as applicable, who will answer within ten (10) calendar days. This step shall be started within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of the action complained of or the date the grievant became aware of the incident which is the basis for the grievance. This step may be taken during the working hours of the Association President or Vice President. The foregoing steps may be supplemented by written presentations as well as the oral discussions required above. The notice of the time, date and location of all meetings between the grievant’s representatives and management representatives must be in writing.

This step shall be taken within ten (10) calendar days of the date of the Department Director’s answer in Step One.

The third step shall be taken within ten (10) calendar days of the date of the answer in Step Two.
4.2(d) Step Four: If a grievance is not resolved in the third step, the fourth step shall be referral to arbitration. The fourth step shall be taken within twenty (20) calendar days of the date of the answer in Step Three.
4.3 For matters regarding disciplinary situations involving more than a reprimand (i.e., discharge, demotion or suspension) the following procedures will apply: 1) Disciplinary grievances must be filed within (10) calendar days of receiving a final Notice of Discipline; 2) Disciplinary grievances shall commence at step 1 of this procedure, at the Chief of Police level, and may continue to step 4. Probationary employees shall not be entitled to invoke Article 4, Grievance Procedure, with regard to matters of discharge, or demotion. This shall not, however, prevent a probationary employee from exercising any other rights under this Memorandum of Understanding.
4.3 (a) The initial step in resolving the grievance shall be a discussion between the Packet Pg. 1227 Attachment: MOU RPOA-MISC 2022 redline version (9.15(b)--Amendments to the MOUs for RIEO and RPOA-MISC) 5 Association’s President or Vice President or representative designated as such by the grievant and the Chief of Police, who shall answer within ten (10) calendar days.
4.3 (b) Step Two: If a grievance is not resolved in the initial step, the second step shall be the presentation of the grievance in writing by the Association President or Vice President or representative designated as such by the grievant to the Personnel Director, who shall answer in writing within ten (10) calendar days. The second step shall be taken within ten (10) calendar days of the date of the answer in the initial step.
4.3 (c) Step Three: If a grievance is not resolved in the second step, the third step shall be the presentation of the grievance in writing by the Association President or Vice President or representative designated as such by the grievant to the City Manager or designee (Assistant City Manager or Deputy City Manager), who shall answer in writing within ten (10) calendar days. The third step shall be taken within ten (10) calendar days of the date of the answer in the second step.
4.3 (d) Step Four: If a grievance is not resolved in the third step, the fourth step shall be referral to arbitration. The fourth step shall be taken within twenty (20) calendar days of the date of the answer in step three.
4.3 (e) An arbitrator shall be appointed on each occasion that a grievance is submitted to arbitration. The City and the Association shall mutually agree to the arbitrator. If the City and the Association fail to reach mutual agreement on the appointment of an arbitrator, each side shall submit a list of five (5) names to the other. Each party shall, at a meeting of its representatives, alternately strike a name from the list of ten (10) names. The first party to strike a name shall be determined by lot. At the point in time when one (1) name remains, that person shall be the appointed arbitrator. The costs of arbitration shall be borne equally by the City and the Association. The City and the Association shall pay the compensation and expenses for their respective witnesses. At the Association’s request, the City shall release employees from duty to participate in proceedings.
4.3 (f) The arbitrator shall hold such hearings and shall consider such evidence as to the arbitrator appears necessary and proper. The first hearing shall be held within ninety (90) calendar days of the date of referral to arbitration. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the City and the Association and the aggrieved employee, if any, provided that such decision does not in any way add to, disregard or modify any of the provisions of this Memorandum of Understanding.
4.4 Failure by either party to meet any of the aforementioned time limits as set forth in Sections 4.2 (a-d) or 4.3 (a-f) will result in forfeiture by the failing party; except however, that the aforementioned time limits may be extended by mutual written agreement. Grievances settled by forfeiture shall not bind either party to an interpretation of this Memorandum of Understanding, nor shall such settlements be cited by either party as evidence in the settlement of subsequent grievances.
4.5 Notwithstanding the aforementioned procedure, any individual employee shall have the right to present grievances to the City and to have such grievances adjusted without the intervention of the Association, provided that the adjustment shall not be inconsistent with this Memorandum of Understanding, and further provided that the Association’s President shall be given an opportunity to be present at such adjustment.

6.3 If a third party is found to be responsible for the employee’s industrial injury and the employee recovers a judgment in damages from said third party, then all supplemental benefits Packet Pg. 1229 Attachment: MOU RPOA-MISC 2022 redline version (9.15(b)--Amendments to the MOUs for RIEO and RPOA-MISC) 7 received as provided for in Section 6.1 not already repaid from the other sources mentioned in Section 6.1 shall be repaid to the City by the employee.

ARTICLE 8: WAGES AND CLASSIFICATIONS
8.1(a) Employees shall be paid a wage rate based upon their work performance.

The committee will consider the appeal and make an advisory recommendation to the Personnel Director whose decision will be final. Such appeal must be made within thirty (30) days of the date of denial of the merit increase.
8.2 Wages shall be paid at bi-weekly intervals on Thursdays for a pay period ending no earlier than the preceding Saturday.

When an employee is temporarily assigned to work in a higher classification which has a wage range overlapping the wage range of the employee’s regular classification, the employee shall be paid at the wage rate of the classification to which the employee is temporarily assigned, which is next higher to the employee’s present wage rate, but not more than the top wage rate of the temporary classification.
8.4 When an employee is temporarily assigned to work in a classification lower than the employee’s regular classification, the employee’s rate of pay will not be reduced.
8.5 For purposes of wage rate progression in a temporary classification, the time worked by an employee in other than the employee’s regular classification shall also be accrued in such temporary classification.
8.6 Attached hereto and made a part hereof is Exhibit “A” titled “Schedule of Wage Rates.”
8.7(a) Attached hereto and made a part hereof is Exhibit “B” entitled “Job Definitions.”
8.7(b) Attached hereto and made a part hereof is Exhibit “C” entitled “Minimum Performance Standards for Community Service Officers, Property and Evidence Technicians, and Crime Scene Technician”;

9.1 All Regular employees will receive full time employment for each workweek employed, provided they report for duty and are capable of performing their work. This is not to be interpreted that the City does not retain the right to lay off or release employees on account of lack of work or other valid reason at the end of the work week.
9.2 Each employee shall report for work at the employee’s regularly established headquarters and shall return thereto at the conclusion of the day’s work and the time spent in traveling between such headquarters and the job site shall be considered as time worked.
9.3 A workweek is defined to consist of seven (7) consecutive calendar days, Sunday through Saturday, and a basic workweek is defined to consist of five (5) consecutive workdays of eight (8) hours each. The basic workweek may begin on any day of the week or at any hour of the day during the workweek. The basic workweek indicated above may be modified by mutual agreement of the City and the affected employee (s) in those situations where such a modification serves the interests of both the City and its employees.
9.4 Overtime is defined as (a) time worked in excess of forty (40) hours in a work week, (b) time worked in excess of eight (8), nine (9), or ten (10) hours as applicable on a scheduled Packet Pg. 1232 Attachment: MOU RPOA-MISC 2022 redline version (9.15(b)--Amendments to the MOUs for RIEO and RPOA-MISC) 10 workday, (c) time worked on a non-workday, (d) time worked outside of regular hours on a workday, and (e) time worked on a holiday. Overtime shall be computed to the nearest one-quarter (1/4) hour. Time worked as defined in (a) or (c) above as a result of a shift change shall not be regarded as overtime for compensation purposes. In such cases where the basic workweek has been modified by mutual agreement pursuant to 9.3, these overtime requirements may be waived pursuant to applicable law.
9.5 Working overtime requires prior approval by an immediate supervisor or other City management staff. Overtime compensation shall be paid at a rate equivalent to one and one-half (1½) times the regular rate of pay or, at the employee’s option, the employee may elect to receive time off with pay at the rate of one and one-half (1 ½) hours off for each overtime hour worked. Employees who request compensatory time off with seventy-two (72) hours advance notice will have their request approved provided such leave does not create an “undue hardship,” as outlined in the federal regulations. Requests for compensatory time off without seventy-two (72) hours advance notice may be considered on a case-by-case basis.

Where probationary or temporary employees are to be laid off, no notice of layoff need be given.
12.2 Layoff in all cases due to lack of work will be determined by an employee’s seniority. An employee whose job is being eliminated may elect to displace an employee in a lower paid classification and if the employee’s seniority is greater than that of the employee in the lower paid classification.
12.3 Regular employees who are laid off, or choose to retire rather than be laid off, will be given preference in filling future vacancies for a period up to two (2) years, in the reverse order in which employees were laid off, providing they keep the City advised of their current address.
Notifications of position vacancies shall be by registered mail to the employee’s last known address, as supplied by the employee. Re-employment shall be based upon the laid-off employee’s ability to meet current employment standards. If an employee does not accept re-employment, the employee’s name shall be removed from the re-employment list and the employee shall no longer have re-employment rights.

13.2 A leave of absence will commence on and include the first workday on which the employee is absent and terminates with and includes the workday preceding the day the employee returns to work.
13.3 All applications for leave of absence shall be made in writing except when the employee is unable to do so. The conditions under which an employee will be restored to employment on the termination of leave of absence shall be clearly stated by the City in conjunction with the granting of a leave of absence. Upon an employee’s return to work after a leave of absence, the employee will be reinstated to the employee’s former position and working conditions, providing that the employee is capable of performing the duties of the former position, except that if there has been a reduction of forces or the employee’s position has been eliminated during said leave, the employee will be returned to the position the employee would be in had the employee not been on a leave of absence.

13.6 An employee on a leave of absence as provided herein shall not accrue vacation or sick leave benefits nor maintain group insurance coverage. An employee may, however, at the employee’s option and expense, maintain the employee’s group insurance coverage providing the full monthly premium is received in the Finance Department of the City on or before the first day of the month for which the premium is intended. Notwithstanding the above, however, if the leave of absence is as a result of exhaustion of sick leave benefits, an employee’s group insurance may be maintained for up to three (3) calendar months in one 12 month period on the normal premiumsharing formula, providing the employee pays the employee’s share of the premium on a timely basis.

PERFORMANCE EVALUATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR
COMMUNITY SERVICE OFFICERS AND PROPERTY AND EVIDENCE
TECHNICIANS
INTRODUCTION: Performance standards have been developed and communicated to employees in order to establish clear expectations of work performance.
PERFORMANCE STANDARDS: A set of standards has been developed defining the responsibilities of employees. Regardless of assignment or job title, certain performance standards are expected to be maintained. These standards are intended to clearly define expectations and form the basis upon which performance will be evaluated.
PERFORMANCE EVALUATION: The evaluation form used to rate employee performance has been designed to reflect each of the performance standard categories. In each category, an employee will be rated using the following performance factors: Exceeds Standards, Meets Standards, or Below Standards. A rating which most closely represents an employee’s performance in each category shall be made.
It is important to complete the identifying information requested at the top of the first page of the evaluation form.
RATINGS DEFINED: The following descriptions are supplied to clearly define performance expected in order to earn a specific rating:
Exceeds Standards: Consistently performs above standard.
Meets Standards: Consistently meets the established standard.
Below Standards: Results fall short of meeting job requirements. (Does not meet the standard as noted in the comments section of the evaluation and through prior counseling.)
Not Applicable: Performance standard not applicable to current assignment.
Examples of performance incidents justifying the rating in each, as well as the overall rating, shall be listed in the comments section of the evaluation form.
COMPENSATION: Employees are paid within a wage range. Upon initial appointment, an employee is normally paid the lowest wage rate for that classification. Those employees who receive evaluations indicating they are rated overall Meets or Exceeds Standards will be advanced to the next scheduled wage step.
Any employee who receives an overall Below Standards may be denied a step increase. However, no employee will be “surprised” with a substandard rating, in that a prior counseling session shall have occurred with the employee describing the deficiency and providing time for correction; refer to Standard Performance Policy.
STANDARD PERFORMANCE POLICY: Substandard performance hurts the organization by forcing other employees to carry a greater portion of the day-to-day workload. Every attempt will be made to encourage employees to perform at a level where all standards are being met and/or exceeded. To this end, two clauses have been added to these instructions, as follows:
Packet Pg. 1253 Attachment: MOU RPOA-MISC 2022 redline version (9.15(b)--Amendments to the MOUs for RIEO and RPOA-MISC) CLAUSE #1:
If an employee is not meeting performance expectations, the employee’s supervisor will meet with the employee to clarify how the employee is perceived not to be meeting the standard. If Below Standards work is critical enough that the employee’s rating might be adversely affected, the supervisor will inform the employee and together they will develop a plan to correct the deficiency. The plan will be summarized in writing. If the employee successfully implements the plan and performance is corrected, the employee will be rated as Meets Standards in this element; if not, the employee will not get a Meets Standards rating in that element.
CLAUSE #2:
If the plan referenced above becomes unattainable, the employee should initiate immediate contact with the employee’s supervisor to review the plan, discuss problem areas or make appropriate adjustments.

Packet Pg. 1283 Attachment: MOU RPOA-MISC 2022 redline version (9.15(b)--Amendments to the MOUs for RIEO and RPOA-MISC) I. POLICY
It is the policy of the City of Redding (City) to foster and provide a drug and alcohol-free workplace for all employees. A drug and alcohol-free workplace protects the safety of the public as well as the City=s valuable employee resources.
A. POLICY PHILOSOPHY
Police department employees represent the City to the general public in highly visible and often stressful situations. As a result, police officers must make critical decisions that affect both public safety and the safety of fellow employees.
Because the role of law enforcement is so crucial to the general welfare of the community, it is held to a higher standard of scrutiny and conduct than the general public. This is particularly important in the use of alcohol or drugs. Consequently, substance abuse cannot be tolerated by members of this Department.
B. POLICY PURPOSES
The purposes of the City=s Substance Abuse Policy are:
1. To implement a fair and balanced approach to eliminating substance abuse and its effects on job performance;
2. To encourage voluntary rehabilitation.
C. APPLICATION OF POLICY
This policy shall apply to all employees in the RPOA bargaining unit of the Police Department.
D. GUIDING PRINCIPLES
There are three guiding principles underlying the City=s policy on a drug and alcohol-free workplace. They are:
1. Education: The City believes that education and training of all employees in the effects and treatment of substance abuse will contribute to a safer and more efficient workplace for everyone.
2. Deterrence/Enforcement: The City is committed to eliminating the effects of substance abuse in the workplace. The substance abuse policy will be strictly enforced. Violation of its requirements may be cause for discipline, up to and including termination of employment.
3. Treatment: The City is committed to helping employees with admitted substance abuse problems overcome those problems, where feasible, and encourages voluntary rehabilitation.
E. RULES
In furtherance of the substance abuse policy, the City has formulated clear rules and penalties to ensure compliance. Violation of these rules may result in disciplinary action up to and including discharge. The primary rules are:
1. The use of illegal drugs and the illegal use of prescription drugs or controlled substances are prohibited.
Packet Pg. 1284 Attachment: MOU RPOA-MISC 2022 redline version (9.15(b)--Amendments to the MOUs for RIEO and RPOA-MISC)
2. The manufacture, sale, distribution, or possession of illegal or controlled drugs, and any attempt to offer to sell or distribute illegal or controlled drugs by any employee at any time except in the performance of the employees responsibilities is prohibited.
3. Employees shall not report for work or be in stand-by or on-call status while they have in their system alcohol, illegal drugs, or prescription drugs that will adversely affect their alertness, coordination, reaction, response or safety, unless so authorized or directed by a supervisor.
4. The use or possession of alcohol while on duty, including lunch and breaks, or in the workplace except in the performance of the employees responsibilities is prohibited. The possession of an unopened, sealed container of alcohol, because of an unsolicited delivery, is not a violation of this rule, provided that the employee/recipient immediately notifies his/her supervisor of such delivery.
5. Employees who appear to be affected on the job by drug or alcohol use may be required to submit to drug/alcohol testing pursuant to section V.
6. Any employee taking prescription medications which may affect job performance must report this treatment to his or her immediate supervisor prior to reporting for duty and provide a prescription within twenty four (24) hours if requested.
7. Employees shall report on duty conduct prohibited by this policy immediately to their supervisor when employees have a reasonable basis to believe that another employee is engaging in such activities.
8. A copy of this policy will be delivered to each current and each new employee. Such delivery shall be acknowledged in writing. Each employee shall read and abide by the provisions of this policy.
II. MANAGEMENT RESPONSIBILITIES
Management will:
A. Be fully conversant with the policies and procedures set forth herein; B. Train employees in the policies and procedures concerning substance abuse, and in the dangers of such abuse;
C. Be knowledgeable about the City=s program for substance abuse rehabilitation; D. Be aware of substance abuse indicators (see illustrative list at V, 2); E. Document all instances of violations of this policy; F. Conduct investigations promptly and properly when suspicion exists that an employee may be impaired or affected by drug or alcohol use;
G. Conduct investigations promptly and properly when the presence or use of drugs or alcohol in the workplace or during work time, including lunch or breaks, is suspected.
Packet Pg. 1285 Attachment: MOU RPOA-MISC 2022 redline version (9.15(b)--Amendments to the MOUs for RIEO and RPOA-MISC) H. When the results of investigations indicate that discipline is warranted, impose fair and reasonable discipline in an appropriate manner consistent with the elements of the individual case.
I. Monitor the participation and progress of employees in rehabilitation or aftercare programs.
III. TRAINING
The City will develop and conduct drug/alcohol awareness training sessions for all employees concerning this Policy, and the personal, safety and work effects of drug and alcohol use.
Management will require attendance at such training sessions.
Management will use its best efforts to ensure that all supervisors are trained in substance abuse observation techniques at the earliest possible time following appointment to a supervisory rank.
IV. SUBSTANCES FOR WHICH TESTING WILL OCCUR
The City will test for substances included by the United States Department of Health and Human Services (DHHS) and will test in accordance with the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) standards as such lists exist at the time of testing. Currently substances included under SAMHSA standards are as follows:
A. Marijuana (cannabinoids)
B. Cocaine
C. Opiates (narcotics such as heroin, morphine, codeine and other medicinal narcotics) D. Phencyclidine (PCP)
E. Amphetamines (racemic amphetamine, dextroamphetamine, and methamphetamine)
F. Alcohol
G. Barbiturates
H. Benzodiazepines
I. Methaqualone
V. SUBSTANCE TESTING PROCEDURES
A. CATEGORIES OF TESTING
The City will conduct the following types of drug/alcohol tests:
1. Voluntary - When an allegation against an employee not rising to the level required for reasonable suspicion testing occurs, an employee may volunteer to submit to drug/alcohol testing at the employer’s expense with prior approval of the City.
2. Reasonable Suspicion - Employees must submit to tests for alcohol and/or for illegal and controlled substances when the employee is reasonably suspected of being impaired or affected by drug or alcohol use.
a. Reasonable suspicion for testing means suspicion based on specific personal observation of two (2) supervisors, unless only one supervisor is practically available. The observing supervisor(s) must have been trained in the detection of drug and alcohol use, and shall describe and document:
Packet Pg. 1286 Attachment: MOU RPOA-MISC 2022 redline version (9.15(b)--Amendments to the MOUs for RIEO and RPOA-MISC) (1) Specific personal and articulative observations concerning the appearance, behavior, speech, or performance of the employee; or
(2) Violation of a safety rule, or other unsafe work incident which, after further investigation of the employee=s behavior, leads the supervisor(s) to believe that drug or alcohol use may be a contributing factor; or
(3) Other physical, circumstantial, or contemporaneous indicators of drug or alcohol use.
b. While observations and reports of third parties do not of themselves constitute reasonable suspicion, they may trigger an internal or administrative investigation. A drug/alcohol test may be required as a part of such investigation.
When such tests are ordered, the supervisor will document the circumstances leading to the issuance of the order, including the names of all witnesses.
3. Internal or Administrative Investigations
In the absence of reasonable suspicion, when conducting internal or administrative investigation, supervisors will consider sending the involved employee for drug/alcohol testing. Examples of when such testing may be required are:
a. Involvement in an accident while on duty that results in injury to the employee or another person, or in significant property damage.
b. Involvement in a critical incident while performing law enforcement duties. For this purpose a critical incident shall be defined as:
(1) Use of deadly force,
(2) Accidental/intentional discharge of a firearm (not including range practice), (3) An application of force resulting in serious injury or death, (4) A complaint of the use of excessive force which caused serious injury, (5) Other life threatening incidents.
To the extent feasible under the circumstances, an employee subjected to a substance test as part of a criminal investigation will also be tested under these procedures.
When such tests are ordered, the supervisor will document the reasons for the test in a written order, including the circumstances and names of all witnesses. The decision to test shall not be arbitrary or capricious and good cause shall be evident.
4.Random
Random drug/alcohol testing will be required for all department peace officers in the unit.
The universe for selection purposes will consist of all sworn peace officers in the Police Department.
The City will determine when such testing shall occur. Selection for random testing will be made by an outside vendor. Numeric designations rather than employee names will be provided to the vendor for the selection process. When random tests are ordered, the Packet Pg. 1287 Attachment: MOU RPOA-MISC 2022 redline version (9.15(b)--Amendments to the MOUs for RIEO and RPOA-MISC) collection of the test specimen will occur during or at the end of the employee’s normal work shift. To the extent operationally feasible as determined by the City, a lot of one or more names provided by the vendor for testing purposes will be tested before a subsequent lot of one or more names are tested.
B. TESTING PROCESS
The testing or processing phase, including the cut-off levels for tested substances (Attachment “A”), will be consistent with SAMSHA standards as they exist at the time of testing and will be performed at a SAMSHA certified facility.
1. The order to submit to a substance test may initially be given verbally. Subsequently, the employee will be given the order in writing setting forth the reasons therefore and signed by the Chief of Police, a Police Captain or a Watch Commander. Such written order will be issued as soon as is practicable after the initial order is given for the test, but may not be issued until after the test is administered.
2. The employee will be advised of his/her right to have a representative present prior to testing. A reasonable amount of time will be allowed for a representative to appear. If no representative is available within a reasonable time, the testing procedure will begin.
3. The employee must submit to a drug/alcohol test and sign a Release and Consent Form.
Failure to submit to a drug/alcohol test or to sign the Release and Consent Form will be considered to be insubordination for failure to follow a direct order. An employee taking such action will be placed on leave-without-pay and may be subject to discipline up to and including discharge from City employment.
4. Except for random testing, an employee sent for non-voluntary testing will be placed on leave-with-pay status until the test results are rendered to the department.
5. When notifying the appropriate collection facility that an employee is being transported for testing, the employee will not be identified by name. However, at the point of collection the employee will be identified to the Medical Review Officer or his designee, in accordance with SAMHSA standards. The representative may join them should he/she desire to do so.
6. A supervisor will transport and/or accompany the employee to the collection facility, except when random testing.
7. The drug test will consist of a urine test. The procedures for collection of the urine sample will be in compliance with SAMHSA standards. An initial positive report will not be considered positive; rather it will be classified as confirmation pending.
8. The confirmation test will be a GC/MS procedure in compliance with SAMHSA standards.
The confirmation test will use the same sample as taken in the initial step. Notification of positive test results to the Chief of Police or his designee will be held until the confirmation test results are obtained. In those cases where the second test confirms the presence of drugs in the sample, the sample will be retained for a minimum of six (6) months to allow further testing if requested.
9. Employees who have been subjected to a drug/alcohol test where no alcohol or illegal drugs were found will receive a report so stating and then shall return to work.
Packet Pg. 1288 Attachment: MOU RPOA-MISC 2022 redline version (9.15(b)--Amendments to the MOUs for RIEO and RPOA-MISC)
10. If the test result is positive, the Medical Review Officer will provide an opportunity for the employee to discuss whether there is a legitimate medical explanation for the test results.
11. Verified drug/alcohol test results will be sent directly to the Chief of Police from the Medical Review Officer.
12. The Chief of Police, or designee, will provide an opportunity for the employee to meet with him/her and discuss the drug/alcohol test result.
13. If the result is positive, rehabilitation and/or disciplinary action will be determined and administered by the Chief of Police or his designee.
14. An employee who does not pass a drug/alcohol test may request that the original urine sample be analyzed again at the employee=s expense at the rate charged to the City. Such analysis shall conform to SAMHSA standards and shall be performed by the SAMHSA certified laboratory.
The SAMHSA laboratory may be designated by the employee but must be located in California.
15. Each step in the collecting and processing of the urine specimen will be documented to establish procedural integrity and the chain of evidence.
16. Time required to participate in a non-voluntary testing procedure outside of an employee=s normal work shift will be considered time worked for overtime purposes.
VI. REHABILITATION
A. METHODS OF REFERRAL
Employees may be referred to rehabilitation programs in the following manners:
1. Voluntary Self-Referral
An employee who has a legal drug and/or alcohol abuse problem can voluntarily refer him/herself to a Licensed Substance Abuse Counselor for treatment. The Counselor will evaluate the employee and make a specific determination of appropriate treatment.
Voluntary self-referral does not relieve the employee of the obligation to submit to drug/alcohol testing as may be required by management pursuant to this policy.
2. Referral by Department Management
Employees with positive legal drug/alcohol test results may be directed by the Chief or his designee to submit to evaluation by a Counselor and if recommended by the Counselor, to participate in a substance abuse rehabilitation program.
For the purpose of this section Alegal drug@ shall be defined as over-the-counter and/or prescription drugs.
B. REHABILITATION AND AFTERCARE PROGRAMS
1. The terms and conditions of the rehabilitation program and the aftercare program will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the Counselor and the Chief of Police, or his designee, in a meeting with the employee. While such terms and conditions will be discussed with the employee, Packet Pg. 1289 Attachment: MOU RPOA-MISC 2022 redline version (9.15(b)--Amendments to the MOUs for RIEO and RPOA-MISC) they are ultimately subject to the decision of the Chief or his designee. The employee will be required to abide by such terms and conditions. Refusal or failure to do so may be grounds for disciplinary action up to and including termination.
2. The employee may be placed in a medically supervised rehabilitation program, which may include full in-patient hospital care or outpatient rehabilitation care, provided by a City approved drug/alcohol rehabilitation facility.
3. If recommended by the Counselor and treatment facility, the employee may apply for a leave of absence to the limits as outlined in the M.O.U. (Memorandum of Understanding) between the City and the RPOA.
4. The Counselor and the treatment facility, if used, must certify in writing to the Chief of Police of the employee’s successful treatment completion and release to work.
5. After the employee has successfully completed the rehabilitation program, the employee will be placed in an aftercare program.
6. The employee may, at the recommendation of the Counselor and at the discretion of the Chief of Police, be permitted to return to work in his/her job classification during outpatient rehabilitation or during aftercare. To qualify for such return to work the employee must reasonably be expected to perform his/her job responsibilities.
7. Prior to returning to work the employee may be scheduled for an examination, including a drug/alcohol test at the discretion of the Chief of Police.
8. Employees participating in rehabilitation and aftercare programs, as a condition of such participation, will be subject to drug/alcohol testing as may be deemed appropriate by the Chief or his designee.
9. Any changes or modifications in the rehabilitation or aftercare programs must be approved by the Chief of Police.
10. The employee may use appropriate accrued leave as provided in personnel rules and/or in the MOU during absences for rehabilitation and aftercare programs. If no such accrued leave is available, the employee will be in a non-pay status.
11. Costs associated with all rehabilitation and aftercare programs are the responsibility of the employee. However, the employee may use City provided group health insurance benefits, if they apply, to such programs. The City will utilize rehabilitation and aftercare programs authorized under the City’s group health insurance plan where available.
12. The number of times an employee can participate in a rehabilitation and aftercare program will be determined by the Chief of Police.
13. Records regarding an employee’s rehabilitation program, aftercare program, and the Return to Work Agreement will be in the possession of the Counselor, department management, and the Personnel Director until such time as the employee is released from the rehabilitation and aftercare programs. At that time City retained records will be transferred to the Personnel Department and there maintained in accordance with Section X of this Policy.
Packet Pg. 1290 Attachment: MOU RPOA-MISC 2022 redline version (9.15(b)--Amendments to the MOUs for RIEO and RPOA-MISC)
VII DISCIPLINARY ACTION
The City may take disciplinary action up to and including discharge against any employee who:
A. Tests positive for alcohol or for substances, as identified in Section IV in an amount which meets or exceeds the cut-off levels established by SAMHSA, as they exist at the time of testing (Attachment “A”),
B. Refuses required testing pursuant to this Policy,
C. Adulterates or otherwise interferes with accurate testing required pursuant to this Policy, D. Fails to comply with the provisions of the return to work and aftercare programs, E. Has used illegal drugs while employed as a peace officer by the City of Redding, F. Has abused prescription drugs while employed as a peace officer by the City of Redding, G. Violates a rule in Section I(E) of this Policy.
Disciplinary action will be consistent with the City’s established Policies.
VIII. MEDICAL REVIEW OFFICER
A. Only a qualified Medical Review Officer (MRO) in accordance with SAMHSA standards will receive laboratory results generated by drug/alcohol testing.
B. The responsibilities of the MRO are outlined in Attachment “B”. These responsibilities are consistent with SAMHSA standards. If such standards relating to the role of the MRO change so shall Attachment “B”.
IX. CONFIDENTIALITY
The results of any drug and/or alcohol test will not be revealed to any person other than the City Manager, Assistant City Manager, Chief of Police (or designee), Personnel Director (or designee), and the rehabilitation/aftercare counselor, unless ordered by means of proper legal procedure and appropriate legal authority, such as a court ordered subpoena, or in connection with City discipline or a grievance or arbitration proceeding initiated by or on behalf of the individual without the express written authorization of the employee.
A. To maintain confidentiality, records pertaining to Substance Abuse Policy administration, the rehabilitation and aftercare programs, the specimen collection process and individual drug/alcohol test records will not be a part of the individual personnel files.
B. All documents identified in this section will be secured and maintained in the Personnel Department under the custodianship of the Personnel Director.
C. All documents relating to drug/alcohol testing, the circumstances concerning such testing, or the administration of other aspects of this Policy will be retained a minimum of five years. Such records will include; but not be limited to:
Supporting documents for reasonable suspicion,
Packet Pg. 1291 Attachment: MOU RPOA-MISC 2022 redline version (9.15(b)--Amendments to the MOUs for RIEO and RPOA-MISC) Documents supporting testing decisions in internal or administrative investigations, Records of the specimen collection process to indicate specimen identification, accountability, and chain of custody,
Records of test results and any information provided by the affected individual concerning legitimate medical reasons for positive results and re-tests, A master list of individual names and matching identification numbers for all cases, Records regarding an employee’s rehabilitation program, aftercare program, and the Return to Work Agreement.
D. Invoices for services provided by collection sites, laboratories, and Medical Review Officers shall be directed to the Chief of Police or his designee, and reference only the case number of the individual involved.
When a drug/alcohol test is ordered, the collection facility shall be notified only that an employee is being transported for testing. The employee is not to be identified by name. However, at the point of collection the employee will be identified to the Medical Review Officer, in accordance with SAMHSA standards.
F. To provide for the maintenance of confidentiality as required above, supervisors will be informed on a need-to-know basis of the reason for the authorized leave status of the employee.
X. SEVERABILITY
If any court should hold any part of this Policy invalid, such decision shall not invalidate any other part of this Policy.

Packet Pg. 1293 Attachment: MOU RPOA-MISC 2022 redline version (9.15(b)--Amendments to the MOUs for RIEO and ATTACHMENT “B”
A. Medical Review Officer shall review results.
An essential part of the drug/alcohol testing program is the final review of results. A positive test result does not automatically identify an employee as having used drugs/alcohol in violation of this substance abuse policy. An individual with a detailed knowledge of possible alternate medical explanations is essential to the review of results.
This review shall be performed by the Medical Review Officer prior to the transmission of results to employer administrative officials.
B. Medical Review Officer - qualifications and responsibilities.
The Medical Review Officer shall be a licensed physician with knowledge of substance abuse disorders. The role of the Medical Review Officer is to review and interpret positive test results obtained through the employer’s testing program. In carrying out this responsibility, the Medical Review Officer shall examine alternate medical explanations for any positive test result. This action could include conducting a medical interview with the individual, review of the individual’s medical history, or review of any other relevant biomedical factors. The Medical Review Officer shall review all medical records made available by the tested individual when a confirmed positive test could have resulted from legally prescribed medication. The Medical Review Officer shall not, however, consider the results of urine samples that are not obtained or processed in accordance with SAMHSA standards.
C. Positive test result.
Prior to making a final decision to verify a positive test result, the Medical Review Officer shall provide the tested individual an opportunity to discuss the test result with him/her. It is primarily the responsibility of the tested individual to initiate this discussion. However, to facilitate such a discussion, the Medical Review Officer will send a certified letter to the tested individual regarding the need to discuss the test result with him/her. During the five (5) working days following such certified mailing, the Medical Review Officer will make reasonable efforts to contact the individual. If after the five working day period there has been no contact, the Medical Review Officer will forward the test results to the Chief of Police or designee.
D. Verification for opiates; review for prescription medication.
Before the Medical Review Officer verifies a confirmed positive result for opiates, he/she shall determine that there is clinical evidence--in addition to the urine test--of unauthorized use of any opium, opiate, or opium derivative (e.g., morphine/codeine). (This requirement does not apply if the employer’s GC/MS confirmation testing for opiates confirms the presence of 6-monoacetylmorphine.)
Packet Pg. 1294 Attachment: MOU RPOA-MISC 2022 redline version (9.15(b)--Amendments to the MOUs for RIEO and RPOA-MISC) E. Reanalysis authorized.
Should any question arise as to the accuracy or validity of a positive test result, only the Medical Review Officer is authorized to order a reanalysis of the original sample and such retests are authorized only at laboratories certified by D.H.H.S. The Medical Review Officer shall authorize a reanalysis of the original sample on timely request of the employee, as applicable in this Substance Abuse Policy.
F. Result consistent with legal drug use.
If the Medical Review Officer determines there is a legitimate medical explanation for the positive test result, the Medical Review Officer shall report the test result to the employer as negative.
G. Result scientifically insufficient.
Additionally, the Medical Review Officer, based on review of inspection reports, quality control data, multiple samples, and other pertinent results, may determine that the result is scientifically insufficient for further action and declare the test specimen negative. In this situation the Medical Review Officer may request reanalysis of the original sample before making this decision. The laboratory shall assist in this review process as requested by the Medical Review Officer by making available the individual responsible for day-to-day management of the urine drug testing laboratory or other employee who is a forensic toxicologist or who has equivalent forensic experience in urine drug testing, to provide specific consultation as required by the City.

CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution amending the United Public Employees of California, Local 792 – Technical Employees Unit (UPEC Technical Unit)–Schedule of Classifications and Salary Ranges/Hourly Wage Rates (Non-Exempt and Exempt), effective July 10, 2022.
Fiscal Impact
The expected additional annual salary and benefit cost amendments (assuming all staff calculated at the top of the wage range) will be approximately $42,000. There will be no impact to the General Fund.
Alternative Action
The City Council could decline to approve the resolution, and the wage rates would not be adjusted. The City Council could also choose to provide additional direction to staff.
Background/Analysis
The Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Redding and UPEC Technical Unit included language provisions where the parties agreed to meet and confer annually over modifications to wage rates of four chosen classifications based on the results of a salary study.
For Calendar Year 2022, UPEC Technical Unit provided two classifications to be studied, and the City provided two. However, the City agreed to include a third classification since it was directly related to other chosen classifications. The studied classifications were Electric Utility System Operator – Transmission and Distribution, Electric Utility System Operator – Power, Electric Utility Distribution Planner/Inspector, Electric Utility Analyst, and the Safety and Environmental Compliance Coordinator.
MEETING DATE: July 19, 2022

Packet Pg. 1297
Report to Redding City Council July 14, 2022
Re: 9.15(d)--UPEC Tech Equity Study Salary Schedule Amendment Page 2 The City’s study included the City’s current wage rates, comparisons to benchmark median wage rates, and the classifications that have an internal relationship to those studied. The City’s analysis indicates the City’s current wage rates ranged from 6.9 percent above to 21.97 percent below the median of the comparable agencies. The recommended wage adjustment for all classifications is two percent (2%) which will maintain internal position relationships and will ensure the systematic and standardized wage structure previously approved by the City Council.
Council Priority/City Manager Goals
• Government of the 21st Century – “Be relevant and proactive to the opportunities and challenges of today’s residents and workforce. Anticipate the future to make better decisions today.”
