This appendix presents a general overview of the hydraulic model for the City of Redding (City) water system. Information presented herein includes a description of the software utilized, a background of the model development, model components, demands and demand patterns used, the model calibration, and recommendations for the hydraulic model going forward.
The primary purpose of the hydraulic model is to simulate the operation and performance of the City’s water system under existing and future conditions. The hydraulic model is a valuable tool that the City utilizes for planning and operations. It is used to identify deficiencies in its water system and determine improvement alternatives. It is also used for verifying operational changes or outages before implementing, determining fire flows available to proposed developments, and developing the City’s unidirectional water main flushing program.
MODEL SOFTWARE
The City of Redding (City) hydraulic model was initially developed by CH2M-Hill (now Jacobs) with MWH-Soft’s H2ONET software for the Water Utility Master Plan 2000. The City purchased a 10,000-pipe capacity software license at that time for development of the model. H2ONET software was a software extension to the Autodesk AutoCAD design platform, with import and export capabilities for geographic information system (GIS) formats. At the conclusion of the Water Master Plan 2000 effort, the model was transferred to the City of Redding for routine use and analysis of the water system.
Packet Pg. 1886 Attachment: Water Utility Master Plan 2023 (9.11(g)--Water Utility Master Plan Update 2023) City of Redding
Water Utility Master Plan 2023 Appendix D
D-2
In the effort for the Water Master Plan 2012 preparation, the H2ONET software was upgraded to MWH-Soft’s InfoWater software, which utilizes ESRI ArcView platform and is directly compatible with the City’s GIS databases. Compatibility with the City of Redding GIS databases allowed model updates to occur more frequently and expediently.
The City has continued to utilize InfoWater software since that time. In 2011, MWH-Soft changed its name to Innovyze and in 2021 Autodesk, Inc. purchased Innovyze, but the InfoWater model software has remained relatively the same since the acquisition. For preparation of the Water Utility Master Plan 2023, the City utilized InfoWater Pro and ArcGIS Pro software.
INITIAL MODEL DEVELOPMENT
CH2M-Hill developed and calibrated the initial hydraulic model for the City’s water system in 1999 and 2000 by performing the following tasks:
1. Built the pipe network using City GIS department data, reviewed and corrected it for basic information, such as pipe connectivity, locations, sizes, materials, age, etc.
2. Developed a digital elevation model (DEM) utilizing U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) topographic mapping. Then assigned elevations to all the pipe junctions by utilizing the DEM.
3. Calculated Hazen-Williams C values for existing pipes according to age, material, and diameter. Calculations were made using regression equations derived from Darcy-Weisbach friction factor values, then converted to Hazen-Williams C values.
4. Input all major flow control valves, pressure-reducing stations, and check valves using City data and atlas sheets for each facility.
5. Input all booster pumps, groundwater wells, and reservoirs using City facility data and drawings.
6. Collected and analyzed daily operations data from 1997 through 1999 to determine total daily water demand, daily demands per pressure zone, Citywide and pressure zone diurnal patterns (where possible), and hourly/daily operations for each major facility (pump stations, reservoirs, treatment plants, wells).
7. Initial runs of the hydraulic model were reviewed and compared to daily and hourly operations data. Discrepancies between model results and operations data were addressed with model revisions to match operations data.
8. The model was rerun to verify revisions achieved simulation of actual operations.
9. The baseline model was then modified to include peak day and average day scenarios for future planning horizons.

WATER SYSTEM INFRASTRUCTURE AND MODEL COMPONENTS
The hydraulic model includes components that represent all the major system infrastructure in the City’s water system, with key design, performance, and operational characteristics for each component. Model components include pipes, nodes, valves, reservoirs(water sources), storage tanks, and pump stations.
InfoWater Pro software is used to input all the major components. It can quickly import or edit bulk data such as pipe diameters and roughness coefficients from other GIS or database sources. This document does not address the detailed steps in creating and inputting data for model components because the information is readily accessible in Innovyze online documentation forthe InfoWater. The following is information specific to the City’s hydraulic model.
D.3.1 Pipes
CH2M-Hill initially imported conveyance and distribution piping into the model from City’s GIS ArcView shape files. This bulk data import included key information such as pipe size, material, date of installation, length, and location. The data was corrected and missing items were entered. Missing dates of installation were entered using information from dates of specific subdivision construction. Nodes were added to all pipe intersections using a CH2M-Hill proprietary software tool called LYNX. Pipes smaller than 6-inch diameter were then removed from the model, for the software to run more efficiently, and to operate within the 10,000-pipe limit associated with the City’s software license.
Since the initial model development, the City has continued to update the pipe network for construction and improvements that are regularly constructed. The City’s Engineering Division staff utilizes the GIS database to add new water mains in the model after completion of construction.
Friction factors (Hazen-Williams C values) for the initial model development were determined using regression equations that were based on pipe material, age, and diameter. Friction factors for pipes installed after the initial model development, and for future planning horizon scenarios were added using the model interface tools and industry standards for various pipe materials on an individual basis.
Additional hydraulic data that the modeling software utilizes for each pipe includes size, length, material, minor loss coefficient, date of installation, pressure zone, phase (i.e., future improvement), and features such as check valves or flow totalizers.
D.3.2 Nodes
Nodes (or junctions) represent a point where two or more pipes join together, or a piping locations where model information needsto be accessed or added. Nodes are where water Packet Pg. 1888 Attachment: Water Utility Master Plan 2023 (9.11(g)--Water Utility Master Plan Update 2023) City of Redding
Water Utility Master Plan 2023 Appendix D
D-4
system demands are assigned, and where facilities such as pumps, valves, and reservoirs are connected to adjacent pipes. Key information for each node includes its elevation, water demand, demand pattern, and pressure zone.
As mentioned above, the original model nodes were created using a LYNX tool that automatically generated nodes at pipe junctions. The nodes were assigned elevations from a DEM developed from USGS Topography maps. As the model the model continues to be updated and development areas are added, new nodes are assigned elevations based on the City’s aerial light detection and ranging (Lidar) mapping and associated two-foot contours.
D.3.3 Tanks and Reservoirs
Tanks and reservoirs were created individually in the initial development of the model using information from the design drawings, facility data sheets, and operational settings.
Tanks and reservoirs are two distinct features in InfoWater. Tanks are fixed-volume featuresthat can be drained completely and have variable watersurfaces. Reservoirs in the model provide an infinite water source at a constant water level, providing as much water as the hydraulic conditions will allow. Reservoirs are used to represent watersources such as rivers or wells. Tanks are used to represent treated water storage available to the distribution system. Key information for tanks and reservoirs includes capacity, geometry (diameter, height), invert elevation, and maximum/minimum operating levels (and initial water level for reservoirs). New tanks and reservoirs are added using the InfoWater system editing tools on an individual basis.
D.3.4 Pumps
Pumps were created individually in the model using information from the design drawings, facility data sheets, and operational settings. Key information for pumps in the model includes design points or pump curves, elevation, and diameter.
For the effort involved in Water Master Plan 2023 preparation, actual pump curves were added, when available. Also, pump controls and automation, as well as variable frequency drives (VFDs) were added to more accurately represent and model the actual operation of the City’s pump stations.
D.3.5 Valves (Flow Control, Pressure Reducing or Sustaining, Check) Water system valves were created individually, except for check valves. Check valves were originally imported from the City GIS database. Flow control valves (FCVs), pressure reducing valves(PRVs), and pressure sustaining valves (PSVs) were added using City atlas and data sheets.
Packet Pg. 1889 Attachment: Water Utility Master Plan 2023 (9.11(g)--Water Utility Master Plan Update 2023) City of Redding
Water Utility Master Plan 2023 Appendix D
D-5
Key information for each valve type includes valve diameter, minor loss coefficient, flow or pressure control, and on/off control logic based on other facility parameterssuch astank levels. New valves are added using the InfoWater system editing tools.
D.3.6 Groundwater Wells
Groundwater wells are represented using a combination of reservoir and pump features.
A reservoir is used to represent an infinite water source set at an elevation representing the groundwater surface. A pump is then added corresponding to the capacity of each specific facility. Automated operations can be simulated using the pump’s on/off control logic, which can be triggered by tank levels or system pressures. New wells are added using InfoWater system editing tools.
D.3.7 Water Treatment Plants
The City’s two water treatment plants, Foothill WTP and Buckeye WTP, are each represented with reservoirs and flow control valves. Reservoirs are set at the hydraulic grade line of the WTP treated effluent, and flow control valves are used to control the treatment plant output. The flow control valves limit flow out, based on treatment plant capacity. Flow controls are also automated to adjust or stop flow based on storage tank levels and actual typical plant operation.
WATER DEMANDS
Both average day demands (ADD) and maximum day demands (MDD) scenarios were analyzed and modeled. ADD within each pressure zone were determined based on the City’s daily production records from 2017 through 2021. The total ADD in each pressure zone was distributed evenly amongst demand nodes within the zone, except specific demands and use patterns were added for the largest water users throughout the City.
Since modeling for the MDD scenario is more critical for determining required water treatment, storage, pumping, and pipeline capacities, a much more extensive effort was performed to analyze and model the MDD scenario. Total MDD in each pressure zone were estimated from SCADA historian data from 2020 through 2021. Production flow rates, storage tank levels, and interzone transfer flow rate data in 15-minute increments were analyzed to determine the max daily demand within each zone. Further, to accurately model flow patterns within each zone, MDD water usage for every parcel within the City’s water service area (WSA) was estimated. Non-residential parcels (commercial, industrial, municipal, etc.) MDD water usage was estimated based on water meter records from July of 2021. The MDD water usage for residential parcels (single family and multifamily parcels) were estimated based on the number of buildings/residences and area associated with each parcel. Estimates for irrigation water usage were made based on parcel areas, with assumptions for irrigation factors, irrigation efficiency, and percentage of parcel area used for landscaping.
Packet Pg. 1890 Attachment: Water Utility Master Plan 2023 (9.11(g)--Water Utility Master Plan Update 2023) City of Redding
Water Utility Master Plan 2023 Appendix D
D-6
Once the average MDD usage for all of the parcels in the WSA usage was estimated, GIS tools were used to incorporate the estimated water usage data into an ArcGIS shape file for the parcels. The shape file was imported into the model, then InfoWater Pro demand allocating tools were utilized to assign the MDD water demands from parcels to the nearest demand node in the model. This demand allocation was performed independently for each pressure zone. A minor adjustment was then performed by multiplying all the demand nodes in each pressure zone by a correct factor, so that the total MDD for each pressure zone in the model matched the pressure zone MDD calculated from the SCADA historian data.
DIURNAL PATTERNS
The City’s SCADA historian data was analyzed to determine demand patterns for each pressure zone. Historian data from max day demands in 2020 and 2021 for applicable water production, reservoir storage levels, and interzone flow meter readings in 15- minute increments were analyzed to develop the pattern for each zone. Diurnal patterns are provided in Section 3.1.1 of the Water Utility Master Plan (WMP). The calculated diurnal patterns were used for all water demands in the respective zone, except for some specific patterns were used for the highest water users in the City.
MODEL CALIBRATION
The water model was calibrated for current ADD and MDD conditions by comparing model output data with SCADA historian data from 2019 through 2021 for key water system facilities. Wonderware Historian Client Trend software was used to analyze historical trend graphs and data recorded for the City’s reservoir levels, and water pressures and flowrates at key facilities. Historical trend data for reservoirs was graphed along with treatment plant, well, pump station, valve station flow data data to determine setpoints for operations and controls. The calibration effort focused on comparing and calibrating model output data to match historical data in each pressure zone, and also for the system as a whole.
As previously noted, since modeling for the MDD scenario is more critical for determining required water treatment, storage, pumping, and pipeline capacities, significantly more effort was performed with regard to the calibration of the MDD model scenario. Demand patterns, and also capacities, settings, and controls for the treatment plants, wells, pump stations, and valve stations in the model were adjusted and calibrated to correspond to historical data MDD periods in July and August during the years 2019 through 2021.
Example graphs showing SCADA historian data compared to modeled data for the Keswick Valve Station, Pump Station 5, Pump Station 2, and the Ranchettes Reservoir are provided in Figures D-1 through 4, respectively.

The figures above only provide a small sample of the comparisons that were performed in the calibration effort, but they represent the success of the effort. Comparisons between the historian and model data at key facilities throughout the City indicate that the calibration effort was successful and the model is accurately representing current conditions for planning purposes.
WATER DEMANDS FOR PLANNING HORIZONS THROUGH 2040
Demand projections for future planning horizons in 2025, 2030, 2035, and 2040 were estimated by adding expected future demands in various locations to the calibrated model for current conditions. Diurnal patterns for each pressure zone were assumed to remain the same as current patterns for planning the horizons. Future planning horizon scenarios were modeled with existing facilities, as well as with recommended improvements for storage, pumping, piping, etc.
The Shasta County Regional Transportation Agency (SRTA) model data, along with coordination meetings with local developers and the City’s planning staff were used to determine locations, extents, and timelines for expected future developments. Additional details for future demand projections are provided Section 3.4 of the WMP and Appendix C. Expected future demands were added manually/individually to specific nodes in the model based, on SRTA traffic area zone (TAZ) data, parcel data and aerial photos, and expected development areas.
WATER DEMANDS FOR ULTIMATE BUILDOUT
Demand projections for ultimate buildout conditions were estimated based on the City’s General Plan, as further detailed in Section 3.5 of the WMP. The model scenario for the 2040 planning horizon was used as the base condition, and additional demands that are expected from the year 2040 to ultimate buildout were distributed evenly amongst demand nodes within each pressure zone. Additional details concerning ultimate buildout demand are provided in Section 3.5 of the WMP and Appendix C. Because there is a high level of uncertainty concerning the extend and location of future development that will occur after the year 2040, no attempt was made to determine specific areas where demands should be distributed inside each pressure zone.
RECOMENDATIONS
Analysis of water demand data in the City’s pressure zones indicates that some of the flow meters used for inter-zone transfers may have inaccuracies, resulting in higher expected demands being recorded in the Foothill Zone. The City has plans to replace flow meters at some of the major inter-zone transfer locations, including the Cypress Valve Station, the Railroad Valve Station, and Pump Station 2. It is recommended that the diurnal patterns, pressure zone demands, and the model calibration be re-evaluated after the new flow meters have been installed through a summer.

The City should continue to update and maintain the hydraulic model, and use it as a tool for operations and planning. Also, as the City continues to expand and upgrade its SCADA system for its water system, it should coordinate with Innovyze and consider utilizing modeling tools that can link the model directly to the SCADA historian system/software for real time calibration and even more accurate hydraulic modeling.

CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Adopt Resolution approving the successor Memorandum of Understanding with the International Association of Fire Fighters (IAFF) for an 18-month term ending December 31, 2024; and approving amendments to the IAFF Schedule of Wage Rates effective July 9, 2023.
Fiscal Impact
If the successor Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with IAFF is approved, there will be a savings of approximately $2.9 million over the next ten years due to the group health and retirement benefit changes, with $340,000 of the savings occurring during the term of the contract.
The total estimated cost (including wage adjustments and benefit changes) of the successor MOU over the eighteen-month term is $2.9 million, which is entirely attributable to the General Fund with some of the cost being paid for by the Redding Electric Utility’s Wildfire Mitigation program. The approximate cost of the agreement is $1.9 million per year. As projected, the ten percent General Fund reserve is maintained.
The long-term benefits of the terms of the successor MOU include additional employee contributions toward the group health and retirement benefit costs. IAFF will pay an additional 5 percent towards group health insurance resulting in an approximate annual savings of $108,000.
In addition to the additional five percent group health premium contribution, IAFF Classic California Public Employees Retirement System (CalPERS) Tier 1 members will begin paying an additional 2.78 percent towards the City of Redding’s (City) share of the retirement contribution and IAFF Classic CalPERS Tier 2 members will begin paying an additional 1.39 percent towards the City’s share of the retirement contribution. This equates to 50 percent of the normal cost of the retirement benefit being paid by the employees. The additional CalPERS cost share results in savings of approximately $187,000 per year. Additionally, included in the agreement are modifications to compensatory time off (CTO) accruals and cash outs, which will result in savings.

Re: 9.15(b)--Consider Approving Successor Memorandum of Understanding and Salary Exhibits for IAFF Page 2
Alternative Action
The City Council could decline to approve the MOU thereby returning the City’s labor negotiation team to the bargaining table to continue the bargaining process with IAFF.
Background/Analysis
The City and IAFF began negotiating for a successor MOU in March of 2022 as the MOU was set to expire on December 31, 2022. A tentative agreement was reached in June 2023 and IAFF employees ratified the proposal package on July 6, 2023.
Classifications covered under this bargaining unit include: Apprentice Firefighter, Firefighter, Fire Engineer, Fire Captain, and Fire Prevention Officer. There are 88 employees covered by this unit.
A complete MOU, amended as proposed, is available on-line.
Major revisions of the proposal package include:
Term and Wages
• 18-month contract, through December 31, 2024;
• 16% general wage increase, effective the pay period beginning July 9, 2023; and • 4% general wage increase, effective the pay period beginning January 7, 2024.
The recommended wage adjustments for the classifications represented by IAFF are based on a salary study of classifications that was completed in January of 2023. The classifications were compared against 10 comparable benchmark agencies. The analysis indicated the IAFF classifications, on average, were 12.54 percent below median wage at that time. The market wage disparity will continue to increase unless market wage adjustments are provided.
Benefit Modifications
Retirement Program
• Effective the pay period including January 1, 2025, Tier 1 Classic employees will pay an additional 2.78 percent toward City’s portion of the employees CalPERS Classic Tier 1 employment payment; and
• Effective the pay period including January 1, 2025, Tier 2 Classic employees will pay an additional 1.39 percent toward the City’s portion of the employees CalPERS Classic Tier 2 employment payment.
This results in IAFF employees contributing to 50 percent of the normal cost of the retirement benefit.
Group Health Program
• The employee contribution to the City’s Group Health Insurance Base Plan will increase from 10 to 15 percent of monthly premium rate beginning in Calendar Year 2024.

4.5 Failure by either party to meet any of the aforementioned time limits as set forth in the Subsections listed above will result in forfeiture. Failure by the City to meet any of the limits listed above will allow the Union to go forward with the grievance or the disciplinary appeal to the next step of the established procedures.

This section does not apply to the Full Time Limited Term (Apprentice Firefighter) classification. (1) Members joining the City’s designated Hazardous Materials Response Team, will receive three percent (3%) for the first three (3) years on the Team. The three (3) years for current Team members is not cumulative with the exception of the time an employee fills in for another employee who is on industrial injury.

(2) Employees will be temporarily 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. Employees removed from the Team will not receive their stipend while they are off the team, unless they are on industrial injury leave. Employees removed from the HMRT will need to meet the requirements of the HMRT Hazardous Materials Response Team Policy in order to be placed back on the team. Management may choose to temporarily fill that vacancy with the next employee on the eligibility list, provided they meet the minimum requirements of HMRT.
Packet Pg. 1915 Attachment: MOU Between City of Redding and IAFF - Final (9.15(b)--Consider Approving Successor Memorandum of Understanding and 12 (b) All employees participating in this incentive program understand that, at the discretion of the City, they may be assigned to participate in a hazardous materials response team as deemed appropriate by the City.
Should there be a vacancy on the Team, it will be filled from an eligibility list established by the Redding Fire Department. Positions on the list will be established in the following manner:
Employees will be placed on the eligibility list based on the order in which they apply after they have successfully completed the required training. Employees who complete training on the same date and apply within seven (7) calendar days of that date, will have their eligibility position determined by their Fire Department seniority date in accordance with Article 10.1 SENIORITY.
Employees are not required to maintain or refresh their certification to remain in their current position on the eligibility list.
In addition, employees who have completed the required training, but have had their certification lapse, may request to be placed on the eligibility list.
Employees will be given six (6) months to refresh their certification after receiving an offer from the Fire Department to join a Hazardous Material Response Team (HMRT). The cost to refresh their certification will be at the employee’s expense. The Fire Department agrees to allow eligible employees to attend HMRT monthly training, voluntarily and without wage compensation as a means of refreshing certification. This offer is contingent upon the HMRT Director’s willingness to allow their participation.
Eligible employees will not be placed on a HMRT until the Fire Department has received the appropriate certificate (HMT or HMS from CSTI or CSFMO). (c) Employees assigned to the Team shall participate in ongoing training and education activities as required by the Team and as directed by the Department, which will allow employees to maintain training proficiency at the level of HMT or HMS Absences from training will be considered excused absences on a case-by-case basis by the Fire Chief. Employees not assigned to the City’s designated Team will be responsible for obtaining, on their own, training proficiency at the level of HMT or HMS. Employees must complete the recertification process on their own, prior to being placed on the Team.
(d) Workgroup leader assignments on the Team are voluntary. These duties may be accomplished on regular duty, however, they should not adversely affect normal duty assignments.
If deemed necessary, the Battalion Chief may approve overtime to accomplish these duties. (e) The City and the Union agree to meet and confer over potential conversion over HMRT to CalOES HazMat Unit pending City and CalOES approval, and subsequent requirements of HMRT team following such potential conversion.
ARTICLE 9: HOURS AND OVERTIME
9.1 Employees shall report for work at their regularly assigned duty station. Time spent in traveling between such assigned duty station and the job site shall be considered as time worked.

The City maintains the right to move individual employees from one platoon to another for the good of the service as determined by the Fire Chief.
9.2(c) Fire Prevention Officers will normally work a forty (40) hour workweek. The workweek schedule will be approved by the Fire Chief and may include Saturday and Sunday coverage.
9.2(d) Whenever it becomes necessary for the City to temporarily rearrange an employee’s work schedule, the City will give as much advance notice as possible but in any event not less than seventy-two (72) hours before the change occurs. Furthermore, no change shall be made which results in more or less than the normal work hours in a pay period.
9.3(a) For employees other than twenty-four (24) hour shift employees, overtime is defined as:
A Time worked in excess of forty (40) hours in a workweek.
B
Time worked in excess of eight (8), nine (9) or ten (10) hours, as applicable on a scheduled workday.

17.1).
Scheduling: Shall be determined by seniority preference. Seniority is defined as time in the bargaining unit.
Vehicle: In addition to “On Call” pay, the City will provide the employee with a “take home” vehicle in order to provide for immediate response.
9.4(a) Regular Rate of Pay. Items included in determining the regular rate of pay for purposes of calculating overtime, retirement and other regular pay calculations (i.e. holiday pay) shall include the pay rate as established in the pay range by the employee’s classification, education incentive pay and Hazmat incentive pay, as applicable to each individual employee covered under this MOU.
9.4(b) Overtime. Overtime compensation shall be paid at a rate equivalent to one and one-half (1½) times the regular rate of pay. However, employees (excluding Full Time Limited Term (Apprentice Firefighter) may choose to accumulate Compensatory Time Off (CTO), (at the one and one-half rate,) up to the limit as established in the Fair Labor Standards Act for public safety employees. Such accumulated CTO may be carried over from one calendar year to another, except an employee may elect to cash out any accumulated CTO balance as of the last pay period ending in November in the week following the first payday in December. Any accumulated CTO not otherwise cashed out or that is earned in December up to the limit will be carried over into the next calendar year.
Employees may not accrue CTO due to out of city emergency/fire assignments such as strike teams, OES responses, and Overhead Assignments. Additionally, members covering for personnel participating in these assignments outside the City would also not be allowed to accrue CTO for those coverages. Employees may only accrue CTO up to a rate of 1:1 while covering for personnel who are using CTO leave with the balance of any overtime due paid as cash (e.g., an employee on a 24 hour overtime shift covering for another employee using CTO time can only accrue up to 24 hours of CTO, with the remaining overtime wages paid in cash).
9.5 If an employee performs overtime work immediately following the end of their regular shift they shall be paid overtime compensation only for the actual time worked.
9.6 Employees who are required to report for overtime work as defined in 9.3(a) and (b) on their non-workdays, or outside of their regular hours on workdays, shall be paid overtime compensation for the actual time worked, but in no event for less than four (4) hours compensation.
If an employee who is called out for such work outside of their regular hours on a workday continues to work into their regular hours, they shall be paid overtime compensation only for the actual time worked.

Overtime shall be distributed as equally as is practicable among those employees who are qualified and available and who volunteer for overtime work, and the City shall not require employees who have worked overtime to take equivalent time off during a workday without pay. For the purpose of determining availability as Packet Pg. 1918 Attachment: MOU Between City of Redding and IAFF - Final (9.15(b)--Consider Approving Successor Memorandum of Understanding and 15 set forth above, an employee’s platoon assignment shall not be used to deny the opportunity for equitable distribution of overtime work.
9.8 When coverage is required for the ARFF apparatus, the priority and sequence of selection will be as follows: First, the Captain on Engine 7 will fill the vacancy, if that Captain is a call back and not ARFF trained, the Captain at Station 4 will cover the vacancy with the normal call back list being used to cover the new vacancy at Station 4. If the Captain on duty at Station 4 is not ARFF trained, then the Captain at Station 5 will take the ARFF vacancy with the normal call back list being used to cover the new vacancy at Station 5. If the above process fails to provide an ARFF trained Captain, the normal call back list will be utilized to select an off duty Captain next up for call back who is ARFF trained. If the process fails to provide a current, trained ARFF Captain, then the established procedures for an order back will be utilized to do so.
9.9 For the purposes of overnight travel for activities other than active firefighting, normal work hours are defined as 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with a one-hour lunch break. Such activities include employees participating in the Redding Fire Department Training Cadre and administration-sanctioned workgroups.

Emergency call-back time shall be compensated with a minimum of five (5) hours of overtime compensated at a rate of two times (2x) the base rate of salary.
The call back time begins when the Employee makes positive contact with the Duty Chief/Scheduling Captain to respond to the emergency, accepts the callback and receives a duty or station assignment. The Employee must report to their duty or station assignment within sixty (60) minutes. The call back time shall end at such time as the Employee completes the call-back assignment and leaves the job site.
An Employee contacted to respond to an emergency who cannot arrive to the assignment within sixty (60) minutes shall not be eligible for call-back overtime pay unless the duty officer directs the Employee to respond for coverage. The Employee is responsible to notify the duty officer of the estimated response time. The Battalion Chief or Duty Chief may limit the number of employees needed for the emergency operations coverage or deny employees that cannot arrive to the assignment in an acceptable time frame.

11.4 All appointments filled by promotion of a City employee shall be on a probationary basis for one (1) year. At any time during the probationary period, the City may terminate the appointment. If an appointment is terminated, the employee shall be returned to either their previous classification and wage rate, or some other classification that is mutually satisfactory to both the employee and the City. If an appointment is terminated, the City may consider the other bidders on the original posting, if any, rather than repost the vacancy notice.
11.5 Management may consider requests for transfer from one station to another.
11.6 At such time an employee moves from a forty (40) hour workweek schedule to a fifty-six (56) hour equivalent workweek schedule, all earned leave balances will be adjusted to commensurate hours in the new work schedule as follows:

12.5 An employee (excluding Apprentice Firefighters) promoted out of the bargaining unit may, within twenty-four (24) months and by mutual agreement between the City and the Association, return to the unit.
12.6 Retired annuitants will be laid off prior to IAFF bargaining unit employees.

13.1 Leave of absence may be granted to regular employees by the City Manager for urgent and substantial reasons, up to a maximum of one year, (except when the employee is receiving long term disability benefits, in which case a five (5) year time limit shall apply) providing satisfactory arrangements can be made to perform the employee’s duties without undue interference with the normal routine of work. Inability to return to work after an employee’s sick leave has been exhausted will be considered as an urgent and substantial reason and in such cases a leave will be granted.
13.2 A leave of absence will commence on and include the first work shift on which the employee is absent and terminate with and include the work shift preceding the shift 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, they will be reinstated to their former position and working conditions, providing that they are capable of performing the duties of their former position, except that if there has been reduction of forces or their position has been eliminated during said leave, they will be returned to the position they would be in, had they not been on a leave of absence.
13.4 An employee’s status as a regular employee will not be impaired by such leave of absence and their seniority will accrue.
13.5 If an employee fails to return immediately on the expiration of their leave of absence or if they accept other full-time employment while on leave, they will thereby forfeit the leave of absence and terminate their employment with the City.
13.6 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 their 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 on the normal premium-sharing formula, providing the employee pays their share of the premium on a timely basis.

Eligible employees that fail to complete the annual open enrollment will automatically be placed in the group health insurance plan they were enrolled in the previous year.
Changes will be effective at the beginning of the following calendar year. The City’s contribution toward the monthly group health and welfare insurance composite premium rate for the “Base Plan” shall be ninety percent (90%) and the employee will pay ten percent (10%) of the premium rate through a bi-weekly payroll deduction. Employees electing to enroll in the “Premium Plan” will be responsible for premiums beyond the City’s contribution of 90% of the “Base Plan” composite rate.
Effective Calendar Year 2024, all employees participating in the Group Health and Welfare Insurance Plan will pay fifteen percent (15%) co-share of premium. The City’s contribution toward the monthly group health and welfare insurance composite premium rate for the “Base Plan” shall be 85%. Employees electing to enroll in the “Buy Up Plan” will be responsible for premiums beyond the City’s contribution of 85% of the “Base Plan” composite rate.
In an effort to minimize the impact of annual composite premium increases/decreases for the employee, the rate change will be limited to a maximum of twelve and one-half percent (12½%) per year (or the actual percent increase in actual claim costs from the previous calendar year, whichever is lower).
In the event the composite premium rate change is less than 12½%, the employee’s percent of the rate shall be the actual percent change unless costs from the year before need to be made up.
Effective January 1, 2013, the rate change will be limited to a maximum of twelve and one-half percent (12 ½%) of the “Base Plan” per year (or the actual percent increase in actual costs from the previous calendar year, whichever is lower). The Association and the City agree that costs not made up prior to the end of this Agreement shall be subject to meet and confer in the successive Agreement.

The City and the Union agree to meet and confer during the term of this agreement over changes to the group health premium contribution formula/structure when another City of Redding employee group agrees to a change in the group health premium contribution formula/structure. The City will not unilaterally impose a change to the group health premium contribution formula pursuant to this section. The meet and confer process per this section is limited to the issue of group health. The balance of the MOU remains in full force and effect.
Employees with spousal coverage will be allowed to “opt out” of the City’s group health and welfare insurance coverage (cease paying their share of the premium) January 1, 2013. Employees “opting out” of the City’s group health benefits must provide proof of alternative health care coverage on an annual basis during the open enrollment period.
The City and the Union recognize that it is the on-going plan of the City that all bargaining units will have the same group insurance benefits.

(E) Long Term Disability: The City has agreed to pay an equivalent monthly premium amount to the Union to purchase their own long-term disability policy. The monthly amount shall be equal to the premium the City would pay if Union members participated in the City’s long-term disability program for safety employees.
(F) Vision Benefits: The premium cost of the Vision benefit program is outlined under “Health Benefits” above. For specifics regarding the City’s Vision Plan, refer to the Benefit Summary Plan Description.

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. 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 of 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.
All active employees hired on or after October 1, 2011 who retire from the City with five (5) or more years of City service (and eligible for CalPERS benefits upon separation of service) shall be eligible for the City to pay a proportionate share of costs of the insurance premium should the retiring employee elect to participate in any 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 and continue the group medical insurance without a break in coverage. To maintain a qualified status, and to continue to receive the benefit, the retired employee, and their covered spouses who reach Medicare A/B eligibility age must enroll in Medicare. For those retirees who qualify, the City shall pay a proportionate share of the cost of the insurance premiums in accordance with the following formula: 2% for every year of service with the City of Redding up to a maximum of 50%. Years of service include all Full Time Limited Term (Apprentice Firefighter) employment, regardless of break in service until regular employee status occurs. 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. The City will not contribute payments on behalf of any retiree except as set forth above. Following the death of 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.
Retiring employees who were hired or worked under a different Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) or City Resolution shall be vested with the greatest retiree premium coshare formula in effect and for which that employee qualified for during his or her term of employment.
Beginning Calendar Year 2013, the City will offer two health plans, a “Base Plan” and an optional “Premium Plan”. All retired employees participating in the group health plan will be enrolled in the “Base Plan” and will have the option on a voluntary basis to enroll in the “Premium Plan” initially, and during the open enrollment period for each subsequent calendar year. Changes will be effective at the beginning of the following calendar year. The City shall pay a proportionate share of the cost of the “Base Plan” insurance premiums as outlined above. Participating retired employees electing to enroll in the “Premium Plan” will be responsible for premiums beyond the City’s contribution of the “Base Plan” composite rate.
21.4 Regular and Full Time Limited Term (Apprentice Firefighter) employees are eligible to participate in the City’s Deferred Compensation Plan through voluntary payroll deductions from the employee’s pay.
21.5 During the term of this agreement, the City and the Union agree to meet and discuss the recommendations of the Health Insurance Committee.
Packet Pg. 1936 Attachment: MOU Between City of Redding and IAFF - Final (9.15(b)--Consider Approving Successor Memorandum of Understanding and 33 ARTICLE 22: ENTIRE AGREEMENT
22.1 The parties acknowledge that during the negotiations which resulted in this Memorandum of Understanding each had the unlimited right and opportunity to make demands and proposals with respect to any subject or matter not removed by law from the scope of negotiations, and that the understandings and agreements arrived at by the parties after the exercise of that right and opportunity are set forth in the Memorandum of Understanding. Therefore, the City and the Union, for the duration of this Memorandum of Understanding, each voluntarily and unqualifiedly waives the right, and each agrees that the other shall not be obligated to bargain with respect to any subject or matter referred to, or covered in this Memorandum of Understanding, or with respect to any subject or matter not specifically referred to, or covered in this Memorandum of Understanding, even though such subjects or matters may not have been within the knowledge or contemplation of either or both of the parties at the time they negotiated or signed this Memorandum of Understanding. Any other prior existing understanding or agreements by the parties, whether formal or informal, regarding any such matters are hereby superseded or terminated in their entirety. Both parties acknowledge that such waiver and relinquishment as set forth above carries with it the commensurate prohibition for either party to effect a unilateral change in an employment condition falling within the scope of negotiations under Government Code Section 3500 et. seq.
ARTICLE 23: TERM
23.1 This Memorandum of Understanding, having taken effect as of July 1, 1974, and having thereafter been amended from time to time shall continue in full force and effect until the thirty first day of December, 2024 and thereafter from year to year unless written notice of change or termination shall be given by either party ninety (90) days prior to the expiration date above or the expiration date of any year thereafter. The bargaining for the Memorandum of Understanding will begin no later than January 1, 2024. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, whenever the public’s need for fire protection service is not met by off-duty personnel following an all-call paging for a major emergency (defined as one in which available on-duty personnel are not sufficient to handle a critical situation), the City may be giving written notice to the Union to reopen negotiations on the subject of establishing procedures for off-duty employee response necessary to meet the public’s need for fire protection service.
23.2 Whenever notice is given for changes, the general nature of the changes desired must be specified in the notice, and until a satisfactory conclusion is reached in the matter of such changes, the original provision shall remain in full force and effect.
23.3 This Memorandum of Understanding shall not be amended or supplemented except by agreement of the parties hereto, reduced to writing and duly signed by each.
23.4 Any provision of this Memorandum of Understanding which may be in conflict with any Federal or State law, regulation or executive order shall be suspended and inoperative to the extent of and for the duration of such conflict; the balance of this Memorandum of Understanding, however, shall remain in full force and effect. The parties may, however, by mutual agreement reopen negotiations on the impact of any conflict.

Deleted: The Union agrees, and will make every effort to persuade its members, to also use those 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 between the parties prior to the completion of the grievance procedure through arbitration or the bargaining process through mediation.¶

Should there be a vacancy on the Team, it will be filled from an eligibility list established by the Redding Fire Department. Positions on the list will be established in the following manner:
Employees will be placed on the eligibility list based on the order in which they apply after they have successfully completed the required training. Employees who complete training on the same date and apply within seven (7) calendar days of that date, will have their eligibility position determined by their Fire Department seniority date in accordance with Article 10.1 SENIORITY.
Employees are not required to maintain or refresh their certification to remain in their current position on the eligibility list.
In addition, employees who have completed the required training, but have had their certification lapse, may request to be placed on the eligibility list.
Employees will be given six (6) months to refresh their certification after receiving an offer from the Fire Department to join a Hazardous Material Response Team (HMRT). The cost to refresh their certification will be at the employee’s expense. The Fire Department agrees to allow eligible employees to attend HMRT monthly training, voluntarily and without wage compensation as a means of refreshing certification. This offer is contingent upon the HMRT Director’s willingness to allow their participation.
Eligible employees will not be placed on a HMRT until the Fire Department has received the appropriate certificate (HMT or HMS from CSTI or CSFMO). (c) Employees assigned to the Team shall participate in ongoing training and education activities as required by the Team and as directed by the Department, which will allow employees to maintain training proficiency at the level of HMT or HMS Absences from training will be considered excused absences on a case-by-case basis by the Fire Chief. Employees not assigned to the City’s designated Team will be responsible for obtaining, on their own, training proficiency at the level of HMT or HMS. Employees must complete the recertification process on their own, prior to being placed on the Team.
(d) Workgroup leader assignments on the Team are voluntary. These duties may be accomplished on regular duty, however, they should not adversely affect normal duty assignments.
If deemed necessary, the Battalion Chief may approve overtime to accomplish these duties. (e) The City and the Union agree to meet and confer over potential conversion over HMRT to CalOES HazMat Unit pending City and CalOES approval, and subsequent requirements of HMRT team following such potential conversion.

Additionally, members covering for personnel participating in these assignments outside the City would also not be allowed to accrue CTO for those coverages. Employees may only accrue CTO up to a rate of 1:1 while covering for personnel who are using CTO leave with the balance of any overtime due paid as cash (e.g., an employee on a 24 hour overtime shift covering for another employee using CTO time can only accrue up to 24 hours of CTO, with the remaining overtime wages paid in cash).
9.5 If an employee performs overtime work immediately following the end of their regular shift they shall be paid overtime compensation only for the actual time worked.

9.8 When coverage is required for the ARFF apparatus, the priority and sequence of selection will be as follows: First, the Captain on Engine 7 will fill the vacancy, if that Captain is a call back and not ARFF trained, the Captain at Station 4 will cover the vacancy with the normal call back list being used to cover the new vacancy at Station 4. If the Captain on duty at Station 4 is not ARFF trained, then the Captain at Station 5 will take the ARFF vacancy with the normal call back list being used to cover the new vacancy at Station 5. If the above process fails to provide an ARFF trained Captain, the normal call back list will be utilized to select an off duty Captain next up for call back who is ARFF trained. If the process fails to provide a current, trained ARFF Captain, then the established procedures for an order back will be utilized to do so.
9.9 For the purposes of overnight travel for activities other than active firefighting, normal work hours are defined as 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. with a one-hour lunch break. Such activities include employees participating in the Redding Fire Department Training Cadre and administration-sanctioned workgroups.

Emergency call-back time shall be compensated with a minimum of five (5) hours of overtime compensated at a rate of two times (2x) the base rate of salary.
The call back time begins when the Employee makes positive contact with the Duty Chief/Scheduling Captain to respond to the emergency, accepts the callback and receives a duty or station assignment. The Employee must report to their duty or station assignment within sixty (60) minutes. The call back time shall end at such time as the Employee completes the call-back assignment and leaves the job site.
An Employee contacted to respond to an emergency who cannot arrive to the assignment within sixty (60) minutes shall not be eligible for call-back overtime pay unless the duty officer directs the Employee to respond for coverage. The Employee is responsible to notify the duty officer of the estimated response time. The Battalion Chief or Duty Chief may limit the number of employees needed for the emergency operations coverage or deny employees that cannot arrive to the assignment in an acceptable time frame.

11.5 Management may consider requests for transfer from one station to another.
11.6 At such time an employee moves from a forty (40) hour workweek schedule to a fifty-six (56) hour equivalent workweek schedule, all earned leave balances will be adjusted to commensurate hours in the new work schedule as follows:

An employee may, however, at their option and expense, maintain their 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 on the normal premium-sharing formula, providing the employee pays their share of the premium on a timely basis.

The City and Union agree that the number of Full Time Limited Term (Apprentice Firefighter) positions at any one time will not exceed the number of Regular Firefighters.
Once nine (9) Full Time Limited Term (Apprentice Firefighter) positions are filled, any hiring of Firefighter positions thereafter would be at a ratio of three Regular Firefighters to three Full Time Limited Term (Apprentice Firefighter) positions, until the total of fifteen (15) Regular Firefighter, and fifteen (15) Full Time Limited Term (Apprentice Firefighter) positions has been met.

21.2 Group Health and Welfare Insurance Coverage: All regular employees and Full Time Limited Term (Apprentice Firefighter) employees are eligible to participate in a group health and welfare insurance benefit program, which includes the medical, prescription, dental, vision, life and long term disability insurance plans, effective the first day of employment. The City shall pay the cost of the program for both employee and dependents as indicated below. (A) Life Insurance: Twice annual salary for employee, $3,000 for employee’s dependents. The City will pay the full cost of the premiums. More specific benefit information is provided in the carrier’s booklet.
(B) Health Benefits: The City has established a Section 125 Plan to redirect the portion of the employee’s salary to pay, on a pre-tax basis, the employee’s contribution toward the medical, prescription, dental and vision insurance composite premium rate.
The City offers two health plans, a “Base Plan” and an optional “Premium Plan”. All eligible employees will be enrolled in the “Base Plan” and will have the option on a voluntary basis to enroll in the “Premium Plan” initially, and during the open enrollment period for each subsequent calendar year. Eligible employees that fail to complete the annual open enrollment will automatically be placed in the group health insurance plan they were enrolled in the previous year.
Changes will be effective at the beginning of the following calendar year. The City’s contribution toward the monthly group health and welfare insurance composite premium rate for the “Base Plan” shall be ninety percent (90%) and the employee will pay ten percent (10%) of the premium rate through a bi-weekly payroll deduction. Employees electing to enroll in the “Premium Plan” will be responsible for premiums beyond the City’s contribution of 90% of the “Base Plan” composite rate.
Effective Calendar Year 2024, all employees participating in the Group Health and Welfare Insurance Plan will pay fifteen percent (15%) co-share of premium. The City’s contribution toward the monthly group health and welfare insurance composite premium rate for the “Base Plan” shall be 85%. Employees electing to enroll in the “Buy Up Plan” will be responsible for premiums beyond the City’s contribution of 85% of the “Base Plan” composite rate.
In an effort to minimize the impact of annual composite premium increases/decreases for the employee, the rate change will be limited to a maximum of twelve and one-half percent (12½%) per year (or the actual percent increase in actual claim costs from the previous calendar year, whichever is lower).
In the event the composite premium rate change is less than 12½%, the employee’s percent of the rate shall be the actual percent change unless costs from the year before need to be made up.
Effective January 1, 2013, the rate change will be limited to a maximum of twelve and one-half percent (12 ½%) of the “Base Plan” per year (or the actual percent increase in actual costs from the previous calendar year, whichever is lower). The Association and the City agree that costs not made up prior to the end of this Agreement shall be subject to meet and confer in the successive Agreement.
For specifics regarding the City’s Group Health and Welfare Benefit Plan, refer to the Benefit Summary Plan Description.

The City and the Union agree to meet and confer during the term of this agreement over changes to the group health premium contribution formula/structure when another City of Redding employee group agrees to a change in the group health premium contribution formula/structure. The City will not unilaterally impose a change to the group health premium contribution formula pursuant to this section. The meet and confer process per this section is limited to the issue of group health. The balance of the MOU remains in full force and effect.
Employees with spousal coverage will be allowed to “opt out” of the City’s group health and welfare insurance coverage (cease paying their share of the premium) January 1, 2013. Employees “opting out” of the City’s group health benefits must provide proof of alternative health care coverage on an annual basis during the open enrollment period.
The City and the Union recognize that it is the on-going plan of the City that all bargaining units will have the same group insurance benefits.

21.3 All active employees hired prior to October 1, 2011, who retire from the City and are eligible for CalPERS benefits upon separation of service shall be eligible for the City to pay a fifty percent (50%) proportionate share of costs of the insurance premium should the retiring employee 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. 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 of 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.
All active employees hired on or after October 1, 2011 who retire from the City with five (5) or more years of City service (and eligible for CalPERS benefits upon separation of service) shall be eligible for the City to pay a proportionate share of costs of the insurance premium should the retiring employee elect to participate in any 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 and continue the group medical insurance without a break in coverage. To maintain a qualified status, and to continue to receive the benefit, the retired employee, and their covered spouses who reach Medicare A/B eligibility age must enroll in Medicare. For those retirees who qualify, the City shall pay a proportionate share of the cost of the insurance premiums in accordance with the following formula: 2% for every year of service with the City of Redding up to a maximum of 50%. Years of service include all Full Time Limited Term (Apprentice Firefighter) employment, regardless of break in service until regular employee status occurs. 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. The City will not contribute payments on behalf of any retiree except as set forth above. Following the death of 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.
Retiring employees who were hired or worked under a different Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) or City Resolution shall be vested with the greatest retiree premium coshare formula in effect and for which that employee qualified for during his or her term of employment.
Beginning Calendar Year 2013, the City will offer two health plans, a “Base Plan” and an optional “Premium Plan”. All retired employees participating in the group health plan will be enrolled in the “Base Plan” and will have the option on a voluntary basis to enroll in the “Premium Plan” initially, and during the open enrollment period for each subsequent calendar year. Changes will be effective at the beginning of the following calendar year. The City shall pay a proportionate share of the cost of the “Base Plan” insurance premiums as outlined above. Participating retired employees electing to enroll in the “Premium Plan” will be responsible for premiums beyond the City’s contribution of the “Base Plan” composite rate.
21.4 Regular and Full Time Limited Term (Apprentice Firefighter) employees are eligible to participate in the City’s Deferred Compensation Plan through voluntary payroll deductions from the employee’s pay.
Deleted: Dependent upon the outcome of pending litigation, the retiree premium co-share for existing employees, those hired prior to City Council approval of this contract, could revert back to the previous retiree insurance premium co-share amount of fifty percent (50%). In that event, the contract would be re-opened to negotiate retiree medical premium co-share amounts for new hires.¶ ¶

ARTICLE 22: ENTIRE AGREEMENT
22.1 The parties acknowledge that during the negotiations which resulted in this Memorandum of Understanding each had the unlimited right and opportunity to make demands and proposals with respect to any subject or matter not removed by law from the scope of negotiations, and that the understandings and agreements arrived at by the parties after the exercise of that right and opportunity are set forth in the Memorandum of Understanding. Therefore, the City and the Union, for the duration of this Memorandum of Understanding, each voluntarily and unqualifiedly waives the right, and each agrees that the other shall not be obligated to bargain with respect to any subject or matter referred to, or covered in this Memorandum of Understanding, or with respect to any subject or matter not specifically referred to, or covered in this Memorandum of Understanding, even though such subjects or matters may not have been within the knowledge or contemplation of either or both of the parties at the time they negotiated or signed this Memorandum of Understanding. Any other prior existing understanding or agreements by the parties, whether formal or informal, regarding any such matters are hereby superseded or terminated in their entirety. Both parties acknowledge that such waiver and relinquishment as set forth above carries with it the commensurate prohibition for either party to effect a unilateral change in an employment condition falling within the scope of negotiations under Government Code Section 3500 et. seq.
ARTICLE 23: TERM
23.1 This Memorandum of Understanding, having taken effect as of July 1, 1974, and having thereafter been amended from time to time shall continue in full force and effect until the thirty first day of December, 2024 and thereafter from year to year unless written notice of change or termination shall be given by either party ninety (90) days prior to the expiration date above or the expiration date of any year thereafter. The bargaining for the Memorandum of Understanding will begin no later than January 1, 2024. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, whenever the public’s need for fire protection service is not met by off-duty personnel following an all-call paging for a major emergency (defined as one in which available on-duty personnel are not sufficient to handle a critical situation), the City may be giving written notice to the Union to reopen negotiations on the subject of establishing procedures for off-duty employee response necessary to meet the public’s need for fire protection service.
23.2 Whenever notice is given for changes, the general nature of the changes desired must be specified in the notice, and until a satisfactory conclusion is reached in the matter of such changes, the original provision shall remain in full force and effect.
23.3 This Memorandum of Understanding shall not be amended or supplemented except by agreement of the parties hereto, reduced to writing and duly signed by each.
23.4 Any provision of this Memorandum of Understanding which may be in conflict with any Federal or State law, regulation or executive order shall be suspended and inoperative to the extent of and for the duration of such conflict; the balance of this Memorandum of Understanding, however, shall remain in full force and effect. The parties may, however, by mutual agreement reopen negotiations on the impact of any conflict.

FIREFIGHTERS’ PROCEDURAL BILL OF RIGHTS ACT
COMPLAINT AND INVESTIGATION PROCEDURE
The Firefighters’ Procedural Bill of Rights Act (“FBOR;” Cal. Gov. Code §§ 3250, et seq.) was enacted January 1, 2008. The purpose of this policy is to formally implement the additional rights and protections afforded to firefighters by this new law and provide guidance regarding complaints against personnel and investigation of those complaints.
A. DEFINITIONS
1. Complaint: Any allegation of poor service or misconduct made by a citizen or employee against a member(s) of the Fire Department (Department) is a complaint. Complaints of misconduct must allege a violation of law, Redding Fire Department Policy, Procedure or Order or City Policy or Procedure. a. Complaints lodged by civilians will be classified as “civilians complaints.”

Examples of complaints contemplated by this policy include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Sexual Harassment/Discrimination
• Criminal Conduct
• Racial/ethnic slurs
• Poor service
• Discourtesy
• Improper Procedure
• Conduct Unbecoming

Deleted: G
Packet Pg. 2060 Attachment: Exhibit F: Firefighter's Procedural Bill Of Rights (Renumbered) - Redline (9.15(b)--Consider Approving Successor Memorandum of 2 The Fire Chief, or the Deputy Fire Chief, shall be responsible for inquiry responses.
If any firefighter is under investigation, or subject to an “inquiry” – as that term is defined above – by his or her commanding officer, or any other member designated by the Fire Chief, that could lead to punitive action, any interrogation shall be conducted under the conditions specified in the FBOR. “Punitive action” means any action that may lead to dismissal, demotion, suspension, reduction in salary, written reprimand, or transfer for purposes of punishment.
B. COMPLAINT RECEPTION AND ROUTING
1. Non-supervisory employees shall immediately refer complaints to an on-duty supervisor (i.e., Fire Captain, Battalion Chief). Supervisors shall accept complaints in writing, in person, or by telephone or from anonymous persons.
The purpose for this is to encourage civilians or employees to bring forward legitimate grievances regarding poor service or misconduct by Department members. Civilians and members of the Department will not be discouraged in any manner from making a complaint.
2. Supervisors shall immediately record complaints on a Complaint Control Form.
A copy of the Complaint Control Form is attached to this policy as Appendix A.
Supervisors may resolve minor complaints with appropriate corrective action including non-disciplinary counseling and training. Supervisors should report all complaints to the on-duty Battalion Chief as soon as possible. The Battalion Chief shall direct the supervisor to fill out a Complaint Control Form when appropriate.
3. The supervisor accepting a complaint in person shall give a copy of the Complaint Control Form to the complainant. The original shall be forwarded to the Deputy Chief via the Battalion Chief on duty. In the case of a complaint of serious misconduct of a criminal nature, the Fire Chief or the Deputy Fire Chief shall be notified immediately by the on-duty Battalion Chief.
4. Upon receipt of the Complaint Control Form, the Fire Chief, or the Deputy Fire Chief will notify the complainant in writing that the complaint has been received and that an investigation has been initiated (or other appropriate corrective action has been taken). A copy of the Complaint Control Form will also be mailed to Packet Pg. 2061 Attachment: Exhibit F: Firefighter's Procedural Bill Of Rights (Renumbered) - Redline (9.15(b)--Consider Approving Successor Memorandum of 3 the complainant if it has not already been provided to him or her by the accepting supervisor.
5. The Deputy Chief will be responsible for assignment of the complaint for investigation. The Deputy Chief shall retain the original Complaint Control Form for tracking purposes. A copy of the Complaint Control Form will be forwarded to the investigator assigned to investigate the complaint. Unless deemed confidential by the Fire Chief to protect the integrity of the investigation, the Complaint Control Form shall be given to the Department member(s) against whom the complaint was lodged along with the notice of interview.
6. The Deputy Chief shall be responsible for notifying the complainant in writing by registered mail within thirty (30) days of the disposition of the complaint.
Additionally, the Deputy Chief or assigned investigator will notify, in writing, the Department member(s) against whom the complaint was lodged and the member’s supervising officer of the disposition of the complaint.
The letter sent to the complainant will only include the following information: • Finding(s) of the investigation as defined in section C5 below. • Name of the investigator who investigated the complaint.
If an allegation resulted in a finding of “Sustained”, the letter will state that “appropriate corrective/disciplinary action will be taken against the involved Department member”. The name of the involved Department member(s) and the specific action to be taken will not be included in the letter.
C. COMPLAINT INVESTIGATION
1. The supervisor accepting the complaint shall be responsible for accurately and fully completing the Complaint Control Form. The supervisor shall obtain preliminary statements from the complainant and any immediately available witnesses. Additionally, the supervisor shall collect and preserve any physical evidence that is readily available or may be time or weather sensitive.
2. In the case of complaints of a minor nature (non-disciplinary), the Battalion Chief shall have the discretion of assigning a complaint to the Captain level for investigation or appropriate corrective action (i.e., training, non-disciplinary counseling, etc.)
Packet Pg. 2062 Attachment: Exhibit F: Firefighter's Procedural Bill Of Rights (Renumbered) - Redline (9.15(b)--Consider Approving Successor Memorandum of 4 3. Allegations that a Department member violated a criminal law (felony or misdemeanor) shall be investigated by the Redding Police Department or the appropriate outside law enforcement agency. The internal administrative investigation will be conducted concurrent with or after the completion of the criminal investigation, at the discretion of the Fire Chief or his/her designee.
Supervisors becoming aware of a criminal investigation involving a Department member who may be suspected of committing a misdemeanor or felony crime shall immediately complete a Complaint Control Form and route it to the Deputy Chief through the on-duty Battalion Chief.
4. RIGHTS OF SUBJECT OF INVESTIGATION:
a. Arson investigators, by virtue of their peace officer status, are afforded statutory protections listed in the Public Safety Officers’ Procedural Bill of Rights Act [Government Code § 3300 et seq].
b. If it is determined in the course of an investigation that an employee could be subject to punitive action, prior to obtaining a statement from the employee, the employee will be informed of the nature of the investigation and given an “Admonition Form” explaining his/her rights as an investigation subject. The Arson Investigator Admonition Form is attached to this Policy as Appendix C. The Fire Unit/Fire Management Admonition of Rights form is attached to this Policy as Appendix D
5. At the conclusion of the investigation the investigator shall make a finding regarding each allegation using the preponderance of evidence standard. The finding for each allegation shall be one of the following:
Unfounded: The alleged act did not occur.
Exonerated: The alleged act occurred but was justified, legal and proper.
Not Sustained: The alleged misconduct could neither be proved nor disproved, given the existing evidence.
Sustained: The alleged misconduct is found to have occurred, and, where applicable, to have violated an applicable rule and/or policy.

2. Verbal or written disclosure of any information concerning the conclusions and findings of a complaint investigation to the involved Department member shall be made by the Fire Chief or the Deputy Chief. Assigned investigators shall only discuss with or disclose to the Fire Chief or the Deputy Fire Chief their preliminary conclusions or findings.
E. COMPLAINT INVESTIGATION FILES
1. The Office Services Supervisor will be responsible for maintaining a comprehensive file of all complaints and investigations.
2. For Departmental purposes, citizen complaint files and internal complaint files will be stored separately.
3. Citizen complaint files related to the conduct of arson investigators shall be retained for a minimum of five years pursuant to Penal Code section 832.5. All other complaint files will also be retained for a period of five years, after which they will be destroyed. Files may be retained longer if the subject matter of the file is the subject of pending litigation.
4. Complaint files will not be stored in the employee’s personnel files. Disciplinary documents which result in sustained findings of misconduct shall be stored in a separate discipline file in the Personnel Department.
F. PITCHESS MOTIONS
This section only applies to complaints involving arson investigators.
1. A Pitchess Motion is a motion for discovery of peace officer personnel records where the defense counsel is attempting to establish a custom, habit or practice of excessive force, untruthfulness or false arrest against a peace officer.
2. If a Pitchess Motion is received by the Department, the City Attorney’s Office will be contacted immediately for advice and response.

14. Choose to admonish with either a) or b) depending on the circumstance. a) The City has reason to believe that your conduct could possibly lead to criminal charges and therefore the City has obtained and is presenting you with a formal written grant of use immunity in accordance with California Government Code section 3253(e)(1) from the Shasta County District Attorney. Use immunity bars a prosecutor from making direct use of your statements in a subsequent criminal proceeding or from using information or any other evidence that was obtained indirectly or derived from your statements against you. Use immunity is not the same as transactional immunity, which would bar a prosecutor from charging you with the crime that is the subject of your statements. Consequently, a criminal prosecutor could still bring charges against you based on other evidence.
OR
b) At this time the City has no reason to believe that your conduct could possibly lead to criminal charges. However, during the course of this interview should facts come to light to indicate that your conduct could lead to criminal charges being filed, the City will stop the interview.
