Re: 9.11(h)--Groundwater Transfer Agreement and Emergency Intertie Agreement-Bella Vista Water District Page 2
Background/Analysis
The City and the District have been in discussions since 2018, to identify potential solutions and ideas for future water supply allocations to help facilitate development and economic vitality in the City. The Groundwater Transfer Agreement will allow future development inside City limits within the shared boundary of the District’s water service area. The District will share costs with the City for groundwater infrastructure and have the ability to purchase water from the City to provide to District customers within the City limits. The Emergency Intertie Agreement is an existing agreement which has been updated per the conditions of the new Groundwater Transfer Agreement.
In 2018, the Council authorized the Mayor to send a letter to the Board Chair of the District regarding water supply needs for new developments within the City limits and situated within the District’s water service area. The intent was to facilitate new development while ensuring the Water Utility is not negatively impacted financially and remained able to meet all existing and future customer demand requirements.
In March 2019, the City and the District executed a Water Supply Augmentation Agreement.
The intent of this agreement was to facilitate new development while ensuring the Water Utility was not impacted financially and still maintaining the ability to meet all existing and future customer demand requirements. The District terminated the agreement on May 1, 2023, due to the severe drought of 2021-22 and the Bureau of Reclamation implementing a historical zero percent water allocation to the District. This allocation demonstrated the agreement did not provide the water supply shortage benefits to the District as expected.
On December 26, 2024, the City and the District executed a Non-Binding Letter of Intent. The letter outlined the framework and their commitment to execution of a new agreement - the Groundwater Transfer Agreement.
One key objective for the City is to eliminate "water supply" as a barrier to new development within the shared boundary. Under the proposed Groundwater Transfer Agreement, the District will issue will serve letters and provide water service to support new development in the overlapping boundary area.
The District approved both of these agreements at their Board meeting on September 22, 2025.
The agreements have been approved as to form by the City Attorney.
Environmental Review
Staff has reviewed the action and determined that it is exempt from review under the California Environmental Quality Act, pursuant to Section 15061(b)(3) – Common Sense Exemption.
CEQA applies only to projects which have the potential for causing a significant effect on the environment. The agreements will allow a maximum transfer of 1,000 acre-feet of groundwater per year and will not result in physical alteration of the environment. The action has been reviewed and it can be seen with certainty that there is no possibility that the action may have a significant effect on the environment.

GROUNDWATER TRANSFER AND FACILITIES COST-SHARING AGREEMENT
BETWEEN THE CITY OF REDDING AND
BELLA VISTA WATER DISTRICT
THIS AGREEMENT is made at Redding, California, by and between the CITY OF REDDING, a Municipal Corporation ("CITY"), whose address is 777 Cypress Avenue, Redding, CA, 96001 and BELLA VISTA WATER DISTRICT, ("DISTRICT"), a California Water District, whose address is 11368 East Stillwater Way, Redding, CA 96003, for a Groundwater Transfer and Facilities Cost-Sharing Agreement ("Agreement").
PURPOSE: To augment the DISTRICT's water supply in order to mitigate water supply impacts associated with new developments occurring within the CITY and served by the DISTRICT and to remove water service as a barrier for orderly development within the CITY and the DISTRICT overlap areas.
BACKGROUND: The DISTRICT was created as the Cow Creek Unit of the Trinity Division of the Central Valley Project (CVP) and is highly reliant upon water supply from the CVP to meet the water needs of its customers within DISTRICT's boundary. New growth and development within both the CITY and DISTRICT service area results in newly created demands for water. As a CVP Water Service Contractor, the DISTRICT is subject to frequent water supply shortages and has implemented policies requiring new development to secure their own shortage water supply, ultimately presenting a challenge for development in the overlap area. While much of the DISTRICT’s lands overlay the Enterprise Subbasin of the Redding Area Groundwater Basin, the quality and quantity of water available via groundwater wells in the DISTRICT is limited. The CITY, being located South of the District and situated over a “healthier” portion of the Enterprise Subbasin, has sufficient groundwater resources to augment the DISTRICT supply for growth within the CITY.
RECITALS
A. The DISTRICT's Will Serve Policy requires certain residential and commercial development to augment DISTRICT water supply as a condition of approval.
B. To meet this requirement, an alternative supply of water must be secured by the development entity.
C. Water supply rights are very limited, complex and can be excessively expensive.
D. The CITY has developed groundwater wells to provide for current and future CITY demands. A limited amount of groundwater supply is available to augment new development within the CITY and served by the DISTRICT. The CITY is also currently constructing the Enterprise Well 12 (EW12) Wellhead Treatment Plant Project, which is estimated to produce an average yield of approximately 2,500 gallons per minute (gpm) upon completion.
E. EW12 and the CITY’s other developed groundwater wells can be utilized by the CITY to provide water supplies to the DISTRICT.
F. The CITY maintains a distribution system that includes an intertie with the DISTRICT that allows the transfer of groundwater between CITY and DISTRICT infrastructure.
Packet Pg. 643 Attachment: ^Groundwater Transfer and Facilities Cost-Sharing Agreement (9.11(h)--Groundwater Transfer Agreement and Emergency Intertie G. It is in the best interests of the CITY to encourage new development that provides a benefit to and meets the needs of the community.
H. The parties hereto have determined that it would be in each of their best interests to partner and cost-share on the design and construction of the EW12 Wellhead Treatment Plant Project in order for the DISTRICT to purchase and receive groundwater from the CITY, and receive metered delivery through the existing Canby Road intertie. This Agreement will allow the DISTRICT to receive groundwater from the CITY to offset impacts to the DISTRICT's existing customers.
I. The parties hereto further determine that it would be in their mutual best interests to set forth their respective rights, duties, costs and obligations concerning the DISTRICT’s groundwater purchases from the CITY in a written agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED AS FOLLOWS:
1. Definitions: For purposes of this Agreement the following definitions apply:
New Development: Any development in which entitlements are granted by the CITY after the effective date of this Agreement or any development that received entitlements prior to this agreement but has not yet made a request for connection to the District System.
Overlap Area: Any parcel within the existing CITY limits and the DISTRICT’s water service area as of the date of execution of this agreement (Exhibit A).
2. Development: Pursuant to State and local law, the CITY requires review and approval by the DISTRICT of all improvement plans for New Development within the Overlap Area and requires a Will Serve letter be obtained from the DISTRICT before issuing a building permit. The DISTRICT shall issue Will Serve letters for new development within CITY limits and served by the DISTRICT pursuant to this Agreement until the Quantity as defined herein is fully subscribed. Will Serve letters will reference that the development is contingent upon the provisions in this Agreement. Only development located within the CITY limits are eligible for water supply from this groundwater transfer Agreement.
3. Notice: Prior to delivery of any groundwater pursuant to this Agreement, the DISTRICT shall notify the CITY that groundwater delivery is desired; the projected duration and delivery rate of water and the anticipated quantity of water to be delivered. Upon receipt of the request, the CITY's Director of Public Works or designee, shall decide as to whether such delivery can be accommodated as requested or revised to better accommodate the CITY’s system constraints and shall inform the DISTRICT within 2 business days of its decision. The DISTRICT will confirm with the CITY, in writing, the specific conditions concerning the water delivery schedule at least 24-hours in advance.
Packet Pg. 644 Attachment: ^Groundwater Transfer and Facilities Cost-Sharing Agreement (9.11(h)--Groundwater Transfer Agreement and Emergency Intertie
4. Quantity: The groundwater supply made available by the CITY to the DISTRICT under the Agreement is a maximum of 1,000 Acre-Feet per year with a maximum transfer rate of 1,500 gallons per minute. The CITY’s transfer and delivery of water to the DISTRICT will be decreased or stopped if the CITY determines, in its sole discretion, that such transfer and delivery is adversely impacting the CITY’s water delivery operations. The transfer and delivery of water under this Agreement will recommence if the CITY determines that any such adverse impacts have ended.
5. Fully Subscribed: DISTRICT shall be fully subscribed at which point in time the entire 1,000 Acre-Feet CITY reservation has been paid to the CITY by the DISTRICT.
6. lntertie Point: Existing Intertie points between the parties to this Agreement already exist at 700 Canby Road, 1431 Edgewood Drive, and at the intersection of Old Alturas Road and Abernathy Lane as shown on Exhibit B. The intertie location utilized for this Agreement will be at the Canby Road location due to the pressure differential and existing pressure reducing valve unless system conditions require the use of an alternative intertie.
This Agreement in no way modifies, alters or otherwise has any bearing on the Intertie Agreement between the CITY and the DISTRICT.
7. Costs and Cost-Sharing:
A. The CITY’S charge to the DISTRICT for buying into City groundwater is valued at $2,375,000 (based on 25% of City’s costs for the EW12 Wellhead Treatment Plant Project plus the pre-project estimated value of EW12) and does not increase over time. The City will reserve 1,000 acre-feet annually of groundwater capacity for the DISTRICT. This agreement is only for groundwater (i.e., no CVP surface water resources.)
B. The DISTRICT may pay to the CITY incrementally (i.e., as development occurs or otherwise) to buy into the CITY’s groundwater infrastructure and distribution system. The pro-rated charge to the DISTRICT is $2,375 per acre-foot if purchased incrementally.
C. The DISTRICT shall pay the CITY each month for the water transferred and delivered to the DISTRICT under this Agreement at the then current applicable unit cost to deliver said water (operation & maintenance rate including power, chemicals, labor, etc.). The starting rate in 2025 will be $500 per Acre-foot ($1.15/CCF). This commodity rate will adjust annually and will be directly tied to the CITY’s utility rate increases as adopted by City Council. The CITY shall send monthly invoices to the DISTRICT for such costs, which shall be paid by the DISTRICT within 30 days of the invoice date.
8. Reporting: The DISTRICT shall provide to the CITY:
A. Monthly reporting of groundwater transfer rate and quantities.
Packet Pg. 645 Attachment: ^Groundwater Transfer and Facilities Cost-Sharing Agreement (9.11(h)--Groundwater Transfer Agreement and Emergency Intertie B. Annual reporting of groundwater usage and information regarding the number of will-serve letters requested, approved, and issued in the CITY limits.
9. Transfers: This water is intended to help the DISTRICT serve new and existing customers within CITY limits. DISTRICT shall not transfer or sell this water outside of the CITY’s jurisdictional boundaries.
10. Term: The term of this Agreement shall be aligned with the projected useful lifespan of EW12, estimated to be thirty (30) years.
11. Extensions: Upon or prior to expiration of this Agreement, not more than two (2) extensions of this Agreement may be executed upon mutual agreement of CITY and DISTRICT for no more than ten (10) years in total.
12. Successor Agreement: CITY and DISTRICT recognize that they will each need replacement water supply after EW12 has reached the end of its useful lifespan. City and District contemplate that they will likely enter into a successor agreement providing for ongoing sharing of resources through the rehabilitation or replacement of EW12, or through some alternative replacement water source. The specifics, however, will depend on the operational needs of each agency at that time, the ability to equitably and accurately allocate costs between each agency’s rate-payers, and other factors that cannot be known at this time.
The City and District agree to meet, confer, and negotiate a potential successor agreement in good faith. Said successor agreement may be executed before or after the expiration of the term specified in Sections 11 and 12, but the parties recognize and agree that discussions and negotiations will need to begin with sufficient time to allow responsible planning, exploration of multiple potential options, and appropriate rate-smoothing to cover anticipated capital costs.
13. Termination: This Agreement shall commence on the date of signing hereto and shall continue until the expiration of the term set forth in Sections 11 and 12, or such time that the delivery of water contemplated herein would not be in the mutually agreeable best interests of both the City and the District, whichever comes first. Upon termination of this agreement, any unpaid financial obligations owing to either party shall survive termination of this Agreement and be payable in accordance with their terms.
14. Disputes and Attorneys’ Fees: If any action or arbitration is commenced to enforce any of the terms or conditions herein, or to enforce collection of monies due pursuant to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys' fees and costs.
Packet Pg. 646 Attachment: ^Groundwater Transfer and Facilities Cost-Sharing Agreement (9.11(h)--Groundwater Transfer Agreement and Emergency Intertie
15. Date of Agreement: The date of this agreement shall be the date it is signed by the second party to sign.
16. Authority to Contract: Each of the undersigned signatories hereby represents and warrants that they are authorized to execute this Contract on behalf of the respective parties to this Contract; that they have full right, power and lawful authority to undertake all obligations as provided in this Contract; and that the execution, performance and delivery of this Contract by said signatories has been fully authorized by all requisite actions on the part of the respective parties to this Contract.

EMERGENCY INTERTIE AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
THE CITY OF REDDING
AND
BELLA VISTA WATER DISTRICT
THIS AGREEMENT is made at Redding, California, by and between THE CITY OF REDDING, a Municipal Corporation (“CITY”), whose address is 777 Cypress Avenue, Redding, Ca. 96001 and BELLA VISTA WATER DISTRICT, (“DISTRICT”), a California Water District, whose address is 11368 East Stillwater Way, Redding, CA 96003, for an Emergency lntertie Agreement (“Agreement”).
RECITALS
A. There presently exists between the parties an Emergency Intertie Agreement which was executed by the CITY and DISTRICT on June 3, 1997. Upon execution of this document, the existing Emergency Intertie Agreement shall be terminated and be of no further force or effect as between the parties.
B. The parties hereto have determined that it would be in their best interests to utilize water interties between them for the purpose of water transfers in times of emergency; the Intertie is a direct physical connection between the two agencies water systems consisting of mainline water valves, pressure reducing valve (PRV), and two-way, forward and reverse, water meters to account for water supplied by either agency under this Agreement.
C. The parties hereto further determine that it would be in their mutual best interests to set forth their respective rights, duties, and obligations concerning emergency transfers of water and maintenance of Intertie equipment, facilities and appurtenances (the “Intertie”) in a written agreement.
D. The Groundwater Transfer and Facilities Cost-Sharing Agreement executed by the parties in 2025 will use the same intertie infrastructure. In the event of groundwater transfer said terms will apply. This agreement in no way modifies, alters or otherwise has any bearing on the Groundwater Transfer and Facilities Cost-Sharing Agreement between the parties.
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS AGREED AS FOLLOWS:
1. Definitions: For purposes of the Agreement, “emergency” includes, but is not limited to, mechanical failures, broken water mains, fire and system contamination, however, in no event shall a reduced supply of available water to either party be considered an “emergency” for purposes of this Agreement;
2. Notice: Prior to any transfer of water pursuant to this Agreement, the requesting party shall notify the supplying party orally that such a transfer is desired; what emergency condition exists which would permit that requested transfer, the anticipated duration of such emergency, and the anticipated quantity of water to be delivered during such Packet Pg. 651 Attachment: ^Emergency Intertie Agreement (9.11(h)--Groundwater Transfer Agreement and Emergency Intertie Agreement-Bella Vista Water transfer. Upon receipt of the request, the supplying party’s authorized agent, shall immediately make a determination as to whether such transfer will be approved and shall orally inform the requesting party of its decision, and give (the rate of transfer of water in gallons per minute (GPM), and the start of delivery time. The determination of whether or not to approve a request for water transfer shall be in the sole discretion of the supplying party. The party receiving water will confirm with the supplying party, in writing, the specific conditions concerning the transfer, such writing to be sent within twenty-four (24) hours of the start of delivery of water. In the event where the Intertie is controlled by a PRV for additional water supply during an “emergency” situation, the party receiving water will confirm with the supplying party, within twenty-four (24) hours of the start of delivery of water for that emergency.
3. Duration of Transfer: As water transfers pursuant to this Agreement are strictly limited to emergency situations, any approval of a transfer of water shall terminate immediately upon the conclusion of the emergency or automatically terminate thirty days (30) from the time the transfer was orally approved by the supplying party, whichever is earlier. However, if the receiving party’s request for water transfer exceeds the thirty (30) day period, the receiving party shall submit an additional request for water prior to the end of the automatic thirty (30) day termination date.
4. lntertie Point: Existing Intertie points between the parties to this Agreement already exist at the intersection of Canby Road and Churn Creek Road, 1431 Edgewood Drive, Old Alturas Road and Abernathy Lane, as shown on Exhibit A. The parties shall cooperate in making the Intertie facilities accessible to each party so as to facilitate the use of water pursuant to this Agreement.
5. Costs: The supplying party, pursuant to a transfer of water under this Agreement shall be entitled to compensation for actual water supplied pursuant to this Agreement, which shall be billed at the average of the current commodity rates for the CITY and DISTRICT. Service charges and fixed monthly charges shall not apply.
Neither party is to profit from such a transfer.
6. Indemnification: A party receiving water transfers pursuant to this Agreement hereby agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the supplying party, its directors, officials, officers, employees, agents and volunteers, and each and every one of them, from any and all claims of any nature whatsoever arising from or relating to, directly or indirectly, negligent performance of this Agreement by the supplying party, or relating to the quality of water transferred pursuant to this Agreement.
7. Bureau of Reclamation Approval: The parties hereby acknowledge that written approval from the United States Bureau of Reclamation (“Reclamation”) may be required for transfer of surface source water between the parties. Transfers of groundwater are not subject to Reclamation approval.
8. Termination: This Agreement shall commence on the date of signing hereto and shall continue until such time as either party determines in its sole and absolute discretion that the transfer contemplated herein would not be in its best interests. Either party can, at any time, provide written notice to the other party that this Agreement is to be terminated on the date and time provided in the written notice. This Agreement shall terminate on the date and time provided in the written notice; however, that any Packet Pg. 652 Attachment: ^Emergency Intertie Agreement (9.11(h)--Groundwater Transfer Agreement and Emergency Intertie Agreement-Bella Vista Water unpaid financial obligations owing to either party shall survive termination of this Agreement and be payable in accordance with their terms.
9. Disputes: If any action or arbitration is commenced to enforce any of the terms or conditions herein, or to enforce collection of monies due pursuant to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs.
10. Maintenance: Maintenance and repair of the Intertie shall be shared equally with regard to incurred expenses of repair, replacement, and calibration. Prior to maintenance and repair of the Intertie, the parties shall agree with respect to the work to be done and the cost thereof.
11. Date of Agreement: The date of this agreement shall be the date it is signed by the second party to sign.
12. Effect on Prior Agreement: Upon execution, this agreement shall supersede and terminate the Emergency Intertie Agreement dated June 3, 1997.

CITY OF REDDING
REPORT TO THE CITY COUNCIL
Recommendation
Authorize the Mayor to sign and send a letter to the Board Chair of the Bella Vista Water District District) regarding District water supply for new development within the City of Redding; and direct staff to work with the District to explore water supply solutions that facilitate new development in the City.
Fiscal Impact
There is no fiscal impact in sending the proposed letter. However, some staff time will be required to develop feasible solutions, and some preliminary engineering may be required. The total cost is expected to be less than $ 20,000 and funded with current year budgeted resources in the Water Utility.
Alternative Action
The City Council (Council) could choose to not send the letter and require development to secure the necessary water entitlements. The Council may also provide staff with alternative direction.
Background/ Analysis
Land development projects within the City of Redding ( City) and located within the Bella Vista Water District (District) service area are experiencing challenges related to water supply. Most of the District’ s water supply comes from Central Valley Project ( CVP) water through a water service contract with the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation ( Bureau). Although the District has sufficient contractual water entitlements to supply new developments, the Bureau may implement its municipal and industrial (M&I) shortage policy and severely curtail water supply allocations to CVP contracts during shortage years.

Re: 4.11(j)--Letter to Board Chair of the BVWD Page 2
These curtailments may force the District to impose drought management measures on existing customers including the more than 2900 M&I customers within the City of Redding limits.
Because of this potential for impact on existing customers, the District must be prudent in allowing new development within their service area and place conditions on service to new projects accordingly.
The City’ s Municipal Code Section 17.60.080 requires a “ Will Serve” letter be secured by the subdivider prior to approval of a tentative map for subdivisions located within a water district outside the City’ s water service area. Because of the risk of reductions noted above and the related potentially significant impacts to existing District customers as identified by the required California Environmental Quality Act ( CEQA) analysis, the District adopted a new Will Serve Policy (Policy) in October 2014. The Policy conditions new developments of more than four units within its service area to augment the District’s water supply as mitigation for CEQA identified impacts until the development becomes part of the District’ s base supply. New customers are included in the base supply after three unconstrained water years (March through February) as determined by the Bureau. This Policy forces developers to seek and secure adequate water supply or not move forward with the project. Water supply rights are very limited, extremely complex, and can be very expensive. This may prove difficult for local developers to secure. Several current developments within the City including the Bethel Campus off Collyer, Seven Bridges off Oasis Road, and Ridgewood Estates off Hollow Lane are facing this condition. Some of the larger developments including Bethel have been successful in securing sufficient supply from entities with unused water entitlements like the McConnell Foundation; however, the smaller developments may have difficulty.
To help facilitate development and economic vitality within the City, it may be prudent for the City to engage in discussions with the District about the potential for augmenting the District’ s supply for new developments in the City until additional historical use entitlements are established. The City is in a somewhat better position to supply existing customers during shortage years due to the concerted investment in many different sources of water supply including Bureau contracts, groundwater well development and agreements with other agencies.
Many of these sources are much less constrained by State or Federal agencies than the CVP water. During shortage years, the City is not in a good position to make available its limited CVP water because of Bureau curtailments to the Buckeye Service Contract. The City mitigates these reductions by transferring as much project water from the Sacramento River to the Buckeye Water Treatment Plant as possible. Without these transfers, the City’s ability to provide water to the entire City is at risk. However, there may be groundwater alternatives where the City could partner with the District to invest cooperatively and allow transfers of treated groundwater through system interties, new distribution lines or creative contractual agreements. To explore this potential it is appropriate for staff to seek direction and permission from the Council to offer City groundwater resources to the District for new developments within the City limits.

RE: New Development within the City of Redding
Dear Mr. Nash,
The intent of this letter is to inform you of the City’s desire to partner with the Bella Vista Water District District) to ensure adequate water supply is available to facilitate new development within the City of Redding. In particular, to serve City of Redding residents located within District service area. As you may know, the District’ s Will Serve Policy (Policy) requires developers to mitigate potential impacts to existing customers by augmenting District water supply by seeking and securing water source rights until the development is established in the District’ s base water supply as determined by the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation. This requirement may prove extremely difficult for the development community due to the limited availability and complex nature of water rights.
To help mitigate these issues and facilitate new development and economic vitality in our community, the City of Redding Council has directed our staff to work with the District in developing water supply augmentation solutions so development may continue. As is the District, the City is also affected by reduced water allocations imposed by the Bureau according to their municipal and industrial shortage policy. Therefore surface water solutions are challenging. However, there may be groundwater solutions that prove viable and beneficial to the City, the District and the community.
The City certainly understands the pressure and obligation the District has to its existing customers during water shortage years. Many of these customers are City of Redding residents. But we also must balance that obligation with the burden placed on landowners who are working to utilize their investment to serve the housing and business needs of the community as a whole.
I am confident that our agencies can work together to develop creative solutions that adequately meet the water supply needs of our community and respectfully request you direct your staff to work with the City to achieve these objectives. I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,

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;

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.

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.
4.2(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 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 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. 672 Attachment: 2025-2026 DRAFT Redline MOU RPOA-Misc (9.15(a)--RPOA Misc., Successor MOU) 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. 674 Attachment: 2025-2026 DRAFT Redline MOU RPOA-Misc (9.15(a)--RPOA Misc., Successor MOU) 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.

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”;

9.2 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. 677 Attachment: 2025-2026 DRAFT Redline MOU RPOA-Misc (9.15(a)--RPOA Misc., Successor MOU) 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. The maximum compensatory time off available for any employee at any time shall be limited to the maximum allowable CTO accumulation pursuant to the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. In the event overtime is worked when an employee has the maximum accumulation of compensatory time off, two hundred forty (240) hours, the employee shall be paid for the overtime worked as set forth above. Employees whose employment with the City is terminated for any reason shall, at the time of termination, receive any unused compensatory time off previously earned.

ARTICLE 10: SENIORITY

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.
13.4 An employee’s status as a Regular employee will not be impaired by such leave of absence and the employee’s seniority will accrue.

13.7 Reproductive Loss Leave of Absence: Employees who are absent from work due to a reproductive loss event are eligible for up to five (5) days of protected leave per event, subject to a maximum of twenty (20) days in a 12-month period. “Reproductive loss event” is defined as “the day or, for multiple day events, the final day, of a failed adoption, failed surrogacy or unsuccessful assisted reproduction.” The reproductive loss leave is unpaid; however, employees may use available accrued paid leave such as vacation, sick time, deferred time off, compensatory time off, etc. The reproductive loss leave must be taken within three (3) months of the reproductive loss event, but the leave days do not need to be consecutive.

The City established a Section 125 Plan effective with the first pay period the ten percent (10%) co-share was taken from their pay. This redirected the portion of the employee’s salary to pay, on a pre-tax basis, the employee’s contribution toward the medical, and prescription, dental and vision insurance composite premium rate. Effective December 26, 2011, all eligible employees will receive a ten percent (10%) premium co-share offset in their pay. The City reserves the right to modify the group insurance composite rate structure to establish classes of coverage and rates in an effort to create a rate structure more compatible to employee claims experience.
All eligible employees will be enrolled in the “Base Plan” and will have the option on a voluntary basis to enroll in the “Buy Up 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.
Employees who do not complete an annual open enrollment group health medical plan selection will remain in the medical plan the employee participated in during the previous plan 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 “Buy Up Plan” will be responsible for premiums beyond the City’s contribution of 90% of the “Base Plan” composite rate.
Effective January 1, 2023, all employees participating in the Group Health and Welfare Insurance Plan will pay 20 percent (20%) 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 80 percent (80%). Employees electing to enroll in the “Buy Up Plan” will be responsible for premiums beyond the City’s contribution of 80% of the “Base Plan” composite rate.
Effective in January 1, 2023, all active employees will be able to select an optional high deductible plan (medical and prescription only) as an additional lower cost option for group health. The City will contribute a flat rate monthly amount, limited to the amount of the City’s contribution toward the “Base Plan” for the high deductible plan. Retirees are not eligible for the high deductible plan.
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 premium formula/structure.
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).

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. 699 Attachment: 2025-2026 DRAFT Redline MOU RPOA-Misc (9.15(a)--RPOA Misc., Successor MOU) 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. 729 Attachment: 2025-2026 DRAFT Redline MOU RPOA-Misc (9.15(a)--RPOA Misc., Successor MOU) 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:
Packet Pg. 730 Attachment: 2025-2026 DRAFT Redline MOU RPOA-Misc (9.15(a)--RPOA Misc., Successor MOU)
1. The use of illegal drugs and the illegal use of prescription drugs or controlled substances are prohibited.
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.

Packet Pg. 731 Attachment: 2025-2026 DRAFT Redline MOU RPOA-Misc (9.15(a)--RPOA Misc., Successor MOU) 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.
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

Packet Pg. 732 Attachment: 2025-2026 DRAFT Redline MOU RPOA-Misc (9.15(a)--RPOA Misc., Successor MOU) 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:
(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.
Packet Pg. 733 Attachment: 2025-2026 DRAFT Redline MOU RPOA-Misc (9.15(a)--RPOA Misc., Successor MOU) 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 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 Packet Pg. 734 Attachment: 2025-2026 DRAFT Redline MOU RPOA-Misc (9.15(a)--RPOA Misc., Successor MOU) 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.
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.
Packet Pg. 735 Attachment: 2025-2026 DRAFT Redline MOU RPOA-Misc (9.15(a)--RPOA Misc., Successor MOU) 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, 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.
Packet Pg. 736 Attachment: 2025-2026 DRAFT Redline MOU RPOA-Misc (9.15(a)--RPOA Misc., Successor MOU)
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.
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.

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.
Packet Pg. 737 Attachment: 2025-2026 DRAFT Redline MOU RPOA-Misc (9.15(a)--RPOA Misc., Successor MOU) 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,
• 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.

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

Packet Pg. 739 Attachment: 2025-2026 DRAFT Redline MOU RPOA-Misc (9.15(a)--RPOA Misc., Successor MOU) 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. 740 Attachment: 2025-2026 DRAFT Redline MOU RPOA-Misc (9.15(a)--RPOA Misc., Successor MOU) 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.

THIS MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING, made and entered into this 21st day of February, 1989, by and between the designated representatives of the CITY OF REDDING (a public agency as defined in Section 3501(c) of Chapter 10 of Division 4 of Title 1 of the Government Code of the State of California), hereinafter referred to as the City, and the designated representatives of the Redding Peace Officers Association (a recognized employee organization as defined in Section 3501(b) of Chapter 10 of Division 4 of Title 1 of the Government Code of the State of California), hereinafter referred to as Association; W I T N E S S E T H:
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.
1.3 The City is engaged in rendering services to the public and the City and the Association recognize their mutual obligation for the continuous rendition and availability of such services.
1.4 The duties performed by employees of the City as part of their employment pertain to and are essential to the operation of a municipality and the welfare of the public dependent thereon. During the term of this Memorandum of Understanding, employees shall not partially or totally abstain from the performance of their duties for the City. The Association shall not call upon or authorize employees individually or collectively to engage in such activities and shall make a reasonable effort under the circumstances to dissuade employees from engaging in such activities. Those employees who do individually or collectively, partially or totally abstain from the performance of their duties for the City shall be subject to disciplinary action up to and including discharge from employment without recourse.
1.5 City employees shall perform loyal and efficient work and service and shall use their influence and best efforts to protect the properties of the City and its service to the public and shall cooperate in promoting and advancing the welfare of the City and in preserving the continuity of its service to the public at all times.
Packet Pg. 745 Attachment: 2025-2026 MOU RPOA-MISC (9.15(a)--RPOA Misc., Successor MOU) 2 1.6 The City and the Association shall cooperate in promoting harmony and efficiency among City employees. The parties have met and conferred in good faith and have reached agreement on procedures set forth in this Memorandum of Understanding for resolution of disputes between the parties. 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.
1.7 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the Redding Peace Officers’ Association recognizes and accepts the right of City of Redding management to manage the City. This recognition includes acceptance of the fact that the management rights listed below are not subject to either grievance procedures or the meeting and conferring in good faith process provided for by the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act. It is agreed by the parties to this Memorandum that management rights include, by way of illustration and not by way of limitation, the following: (a) the full and exclusive control of the management of the City; (b) the supervision of all operations, methods, processes and means of performing any and all work, the control of the property and the composition, assignment, direction and determination of the size of its working forces; (c) the right to determine the work to be done by employees; (d) the right to change or introduce new or improved operations, methods, means or facilities; and (e) the right to hire, schedule, promote, demote, transfer, release and lay off employees and the right to suspend, discipline and discharge employees and otherwise to maintain an orderly, effective and efficient operation.
ARTICLE 2: RECOGNITION
2.1 The City recognizes the Association as the “Majority Representative” of all employees of the City Police Department who hold a classification listed on Exhibit “A” of this Memorandum of Understanding. The provisions of this Memorandum of Understanding hereinafter set forth shall apply only to those employees of the City of Redding for whom the Redding Peace Officers’ Association is the established majority representative.

Packet Pg. 746 Attachment: 2025-2026 MOU RPOA-MISC (9.15(a)--RPOA Misc., Successor MOU) 3 2.6 Joint Association-Management meetings shall be held as often as agreed upon by the Association and Management. The purpose of these meetings shall be to promote harmony and efficiency and to improve communications between employees and all levels of management.
The meeting agenda shall be determined by those in attendance and there shall be no restrictions on the subject matter, provided the meetings shall not substitute for normal grievance procedures or for formal negotiations between the parties. Those in attendance shall consist of the Association’s Negotiating Committee and the City’s Police Chief, the City’s Personnel Director and such other management personnel as determined by the Personnel Director. The meetings shall be summarized in written minutes. Except that the provisions of this section shall be observed, the meetings shall be self-organizing.

ARTICLE 3: ASSOCIATION SECURITY
3.1 The City shall deduct from their wages, the regular membership dues of employees who are members of the Association and who individually and voluntarily authorize such deductions in writing in accordance with the provisions of Section 1157.3 of the Government Code of the State of California.
3.2 Deductions shall be made from the first and second payroll periods of each month in approximately equal amounts and a check for the total deductions shall be submitted to the Redding Peace Officers’ Association within five (5) working days of the date the deductions are withheld from the employee’s check.

The City shall rely on the Association’s certification of any dues and fees authorized by an employee and will not require the Association to provide a copy of the employee’s authorization unless a dispute arises about the existence of terms of the authorization. Any inquiries by employees regarding Association dues or fees should be directed to the Association.

ARTICLE 4: GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE
4.1 Any grievance which may arise between the Association or any of its members and the City, with respect to the interpretation or application of any of the terms of this Memorandum of Understanding and with respect to such matters as the alleged discriminatory or arbitrary discharge, demotion or discipline of an individual employee, shall be determined by the provisions of this article, except that such matters as are included in the definition of impasse as set forth in Resolution No. 2012-091 are not a grievance. 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 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.

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.

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.

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. The maximum compensatory time off available for any employee at any time shall be limited to the maximum allowable CTO accumulation pursuant to the federal Fair Labor Standards Act. In the event overtime is worked when an employee has the maximum accumulation of compensatory time off, two hundred forty (240) hours, the employee shall be paid for the overtime worked as set forth above. Employees whose employment with the City is terminated for any reason shall, at the time of termination, receive any unused compensatory time off previously earned.

On multiple subpoenas for the same day employees will be allowed only one minimum overtime claim before 1200 hours and one minimum overtime claim after 1200 hours.
Packet Pg. 754 Attachment: 2025-2026 MOU RPOA-MISC (9.15(a)--RPOA Misc., Successor MOU) 11 If an employee has received a subpoena for court appearance and the subpoena is subsequently cancelled, the employee shall receive compensation as outlined in this section if the City has not made notice of the cancellation available to the employee by 1800 hours the day preceding the court appearance if such appearance is on the employee’s scheduled work day, or by 1800 hours two days preceding the court appearance if such appearance is on the employee’s non-workday or on a holiday the employee is entitled to have off.

ARTICLE 10: SENIORITY
10.1 Seniority is defined as total length of continuous service with the City. In determining an employee’s seniority, the continuity of the employee’s service will be deemed to be broken by termination of employment by reason of (1) resignation, (2) discharge for cause, (3) layoff, (4) failure to return immediately on the expiration of a leave of absence or acceptance of other full time employment while on leave, and (5) absence without pay, without a leave of absence, in excess of three (3) workdays.

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.

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.

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.
13.7 Reproductive Loss Leave of Absence: Employees who are absent from work due to a reproductive loss event are eligible for up to five (5) days of protected leave per event, subject to a maximum of twenty (20) days in a 12-month period. “Reproductive loss event” is defined as “the day or, for multiple day events, the final day, of a failed adoption, failed surrogacy or unsuccessful assisted reproduction.” The reproductive loss leave is unpaid; however, employees may use available accrued paid leave such as vacation, sick time, deferred time off, compensatory time off, etc. The reproductive loss leave must be taken within three (3) months of the reproductive loss event, but the leave days do not need to be consecutive.

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. 775 Attachment: 2025-2026 MOU RPOA-MISC (9.15(a)--RPOA Misc., Successor MOU) 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. 805 Attachment: 2025-2026 MOU RPOA-MISC (9.15(a)--RPOA Misc., Successor MOU) 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:
Packet Pg. 806 Attachment: 2025-2026 MOU RPOA-MISC (9.15(a)--RPOA Misc., Successor MOU)
1. The use of illegal drugs and the illegal use of prescription drugs or controlled substances are prohibited.
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;
Packet Pg. 807 Attachment: 2025-2026 MOU RPOA-MISC (9.15(a)--RPOA Misc., Successor MOU) 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.
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.
Packet Pg. 808 Attachment: 2025-2026 MOU RPOA-MISC (9.15(a)--RPOA Misc., Successor MOU) 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:
(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.
Packet Pg. 809 Attachment: 2025-2026 MOU RPOA-MISC (9.15(a)--RPOA Misc., Successor MOU) 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 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 Packet Pg. 810 Attachment: 2025-2026 MOU RPOA-MISC (9.15(a)--RPOA Misc., Successor MOU) 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.
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.

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.

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.
