PREFACE

This Agreement is made pursuant to the provisions of the Meyers -Milias-Brown Act (MMBA) and is between the City of Vallejo, a Municipal Corporation, hereinafter referred to as the "City" or "Employer", and the International Brotherhood of Electrical Workers, Local 1245, AFL -CIO, a Labor Union, hereinafter referred to as the "Local 1245", the duly recognized employee organization representing the City's Miscellaneous Employees.

Together, they may be referred to herein as the "parties."

The general purpose of this Agreement is to set forth the wages, hours of employment, and working conditions which shall prevail for the duration of this Agreement and to promote orderly and peaceful labor relations for and among the City, its employees, and Local 1245.

Recognizing that the interest of the community and the job security of the employees depend upon the City's ability to continue to provide proper services to the community, the City and the Union shall abide by the terms and provisions set forth herein for the life of this Agreement.

This document represents the final expression of the Agreement between the parties after meeting and conferring in good faith pursuant to the MMBA. All side agreements as of the date of execution have been incorporated to the extent the parties agree. All other agreements are therefore disclaimed.

The City recognizes Local 1245 as the exclusive representative of employees working in classifications covered by this Agreement.

2. Any accommodation provided to an individual protected by the ADA shall not establish a past practice, nor shall it be cited or used as evidence of a past practice in the grievance/arbitration procedure.

3.

In either case, the City retains the right to approve the usage of any accrued compensatory time off.

2. Overtime for shift employees who work over their normal scheduled shift on an actual, not observed, holiday will be calculated at twice the employee's regular straight time pay rate.

2. The tracking of overtime hours offered, refused and actually worked,

3. The creation of a weekly or bi-weekly list sequencing the order of equitable offering of pre-arranged and emergency overtime based on an employee’s DocuSign Envelope ID: E6F3435F-AAF5-4E95-80EE-921D66244D96 16 City of Vallejo-IBEW Agreement 07/1/2024–6/30/2027

If, after the employee has completed their callback assignment(s) and has been released, they receive an additional call that occurs outside of the prior two (2) hour minimum period, they shall receive an additional minimum of two (2) hours of overtime pay. Employees shall not receive callback pay for hours that fall during their regular work shift.

F. Overtime worked, whether payment is made or time off is taken, shall be calculated to the nearest one-half (1/2) hour, with the exception that employees who work one (1) to fourteen (14) minutes of overtime shall be paid for one- quarter (1/4) hour.

G. Phone Calls Not Requiring Return to a Work Location

1. Assuming an employee receives an office work-related phone call during non-working hours, the City agrees to compensate said employee for the actual minutes worked at the appropriate overtime rate.

2. The breakdown will be calculated as follows:

a. Actual time worked between 1-14 minutes shall be paid 15 minutes overtime.

b. Actual time worked between 16-29 minutes shall be paid 30 minutes overtime.

SECTION 3

BENEFITS

3.1. RETIREMENT

1. All employee contributions required by CalPERS shall be made by the City by deducting the amount of the total CalPERS employee contribution from the salary of the employee. The City shall implement the provisions of section 414(h)(2) of the IRC for the employee contributions deducted from the salary of employees. This shall not be construed as a guarantee by the City of the existence or continuation of any tax benefits arising from this section of the IRC, nor shall the City indemnify any employee against any loss that may result from any different interpretation, change or elimination of the relevant sections of the IRC.

Effective the first full pay period following ratification by Local 1245 and approval by City Council of this MOU, the City shall cap its PEMHCA contribution toward medical premiums for DocuSign Envelope ID: E6F3435F-AAF5-4E95-80EE-921D66244D96 21 City of Vallejo-IBEW Agreement 07/1/2024–6/30/2027

employees and eligible dependents at the PEMHCA minimum contribution. 1 The City shall supplement the direct PEMHCA contribution in an amount that, together with the direct PEMHCA contribution shall not exceed 80% of the Kaiser
North rate for each level of participation - single, single plus one dependent and single plus two or more dependents. This supplemental amount shall be provided to employees in a Section 125 Cafeteria/Flexible Benefits Health and Welfare Plan.

i. For example, if the Kaiser family rate is $1000 per month and an employee with family coverage chooses a non-
Kaiser plan costing $1500 per month, the City will pay the PEMHCA minimum contribution of $157 directly to PERS.

The City will also pay $643 into a Section 125 Cafeteria Plan, which the employee may use towards the payment
of medical premiums or other benefits authorized under
Section 125. In this scenario, the total amount the
employee may apply towards medical premiums is $800
(equal to 80% of the Kaiser premium). The employee
shall be responsible for paying $700 (the difference
between the selected plan and the maximum City
contribution) each month.

2. Retiree-Annuitants

a. Eligible retiree -annuitants will be those retired City employees who meet the requirements of CalPERS retirement. The City shall continue to participate in the retiree -annuitant portion of the Public Employees Medical and Hospital Care Act
("PEMHCA") as provided for in Government Code Section

i. For Employees Hired on or after July 1. 2014.

Employees first hired on or after July 1, 2014 shall
receive retiree medical benefits in the form of an

contribute monthly an amount of money into each
employee's RHSP equal to one and one-half percent

1 The PEMHCA minimum employer contribution for 2024 is $157, subject to annual adjustments by PERS.

(1.5%) of the employee's base monthly salary. This
contribution to the RHSP for all post-July 1, 2014 hires shall be retroactive to the employee's date of hire, and all accrued contributions shall be placed in the selected RHSP for each participant. Employees hired on or after
July 1, 2014, shall not participate in the retiree-annuitant portion of the PEMHCA.

receipt of benefits under the PEMHCA will depend on
whether the City remains in PEMHCA at the time of an
employee's retirement. PEMHCA benefits will be granted
to a retiring employee if statutorily required.

The City and Local 1245 shall hold joint employee
explanation meetings prior to October 31, 2016, in
order to explain the impact of an employee irrevocable
election waiver.

amounts in their RHSP accounts which the
City has funded since October 1, 2015.

(3) Effective November 1, 2016, the amount of
the PEMHCA benefits, should they be
statutorily required, shall be the PEMHCA

The City retains the sole and exclusive right to determine when and if a vacant position will be filled. Such decision shall not be subject to grievance or arbitration.

7.2. SAFETY

A. It is the policy of the City to comply with all federal, state and local health and safety regulations to provide a work environment as free as practicable from recognized hazards. Employees are expected to comply with all safety and health requirements whether established by the City or by federal, state or local law.

1. No employee shall be expected to work in the presence of any valid safety or health hazard. Should any employee believe that such conditions exist, the employee should so notify a supervisor to determine the degree of the existing hazard.

2. It is the responsibility of management and supervisory personnel to provide suitable safety equipment, training and supervision to each employee and to address known safety hazards.

3. Should an employee or Local 1245 believe that any of the above provisions have been violated, the employee or Local 1245 may enforce such provisions through the California Department of Industrial Relations.

B. Appropriate safety equipment will be furnished and maintained by the City in a condition suitable for its purpose. Employees are to appropriately maintain City-provided personal protective safety equipment. The City will be responsible for the reasonable replacement cost of such equipment only when the need for such replacement does not arise out of the employee's negligence or carelessness.

C. The City agrees to allow one (1) employee designated by Local 1245 to accompany an OSHA Inspector and any other persons who may be designated by the City on any appropriate inspection tour of a City facility at which employees in this bargaining unit normally work. Time necessarily lost by the employee from their regularly scheduled work shall be compensated at said employee's regular straight -time rate of pay.

D. The City and Local 1245 shall establish a Joint Safety Committee consisting of three (3) employee representatives appointed by Local 1245 and three (3) City representatives.

1. It shall be the right of the committee members to (a) report and discuss DocuSign Envelope ID: E6F3435F-AAF5-4E95-80EE-921D66244D96 58 City of Vallejo-IBEW Agreement 07/1/2024–6/30/2027

unsafe conditions they may observe, or which may be called to their attention, including accidents; (b) assist in the development and dissemination of safety information to the employees; and (c) make recommendations with respect to the adequacy of the safety devices, safety equipment and safety practices within the City's operation.

2. The Joint Safety Committee shall have a regular monthly meeting unless there are no matters to be discussed. A report relative to the discussions at and results of such meeting shall be prepared and sent within five (5) calendar days to the City Manager. Time necessarily lost by the Joint Safety Committee members from their regularly scheduled work shall be compensated at said employees' regular straight -time rate of pay.

The Joint Safety Committee shall not file or handle grievances involving safety.

E. Unless exigent circumstances exist, the City will notify Local 1245’s assigned Business Representative as soon as practically possible, but in no case later than twenty-four (24) hours, after the City knows or with diligent inquiry would have known of the death or serious injury or illness as defined in Section 330(h), Title 8, California Administrative Code. Additionally, the City will, as soon as practicably possible, notify Local 1245 of any scheduled or unscheduled CalOSHA investigations related to the death or serious injury or illness as defined in Section 330(h), Title 8, California Administrative Code or complaint investigations that may occur.

7.3. TRANSFERS AND ASSIGNMENTS

A. Out of Class Assignments

1. The City shall have the right to temporarily transfer or assign employees irrespective of their seniority status from one job classification to another to cover for employees who are absent, to fill temporary vacancies, or to take care of unusual conditions or situations which may arise.

a. In no case shall an employee in an out of class assignment suffer a loss in pay as a result of such a transfer.

b. When an employee is in an out of class assignment such employee shall receive the rate of pay applicable as if the employee were promoted to such position, for each day such work is performed. The employee shall be placed on step 1 in the new higher range or placed at the next higher step which provides at least a minimum five percent (5%) increase for the employee, provided that employees serving in such positions shall not receive a rate of pay above the maximum step of the range of the position in which they are serving in an acting capacity.

2. The commencement and termination of each such out of class assignment shall be immediately reported by the employee's supervisor on a form designated for that purpose by the Human Resources Department . The employee involved shall promptly receive a copy of each such completed form.

3. When an employee is transferred or assigned to a position within a higher pay range such employee may remain in such higher-rated position as long as they perform satisfactorily and the need for filling such position on a temporary basis continues to exist. In no event, however, shall a temporary assignment or transfer exceed nine hundred and sixty (960) hours. Employees who work beyond four hundred and eighty (480) hours will continue to receive "acting pay" when they are on paid leave.

4. Any employee in an out of class assignment pursuant to this Section shall not acquire any permanent title or right to the applicable position but, shall retain their seniority in the permanent classification from which such out of class assignment was made.

5. This Section specifically supersedes and renders null and void any and all Civil Service Commission Rules and Regulations in conflict herewith, and the Civil Service Commission shall be foreclosed from dealing with such matters for positions within the bargaining unit.

B. Permanent Transfers/Assignments

1. Employees who wish to transfer permanently from one position in a classification to another position in the same classification shall so inform the Human Resources Department , which shall maintain a transfer list of such employees.

2. When a vacancy occurs within the City, the Human Resources Department shall poll the employees whose names are on the transfer list to determine who is interested in being considered for the vacancy.

The Human Resources Department shall convey the transfer list with appropriate documentation to the appropriate department for consideration; the employees may be interviewed at the discretion of the department involved.

C. Promotions

Upon promotion, the employee promoted shall be placed on Step 1 in the new higher salary range or placed at the salary step which is a minimum five percent (5%) salary increase for the employee, whichever is greater , not to exceed the highest salary step of the new salary range.

7.4. CERTIFICATION/LICENSE FEES

5 City of Vallejo-IBEW Agreement 07/1/20241–6/30/20274 SECTION 1

2. There is no limit to the range of specific subjects that may be submitted for discussion by Committee members. Any matter that may be of mutual benefit to the parties or in the public's interest is proper for discussion.
12 City of Vallejo-IBEW Agreement 07/1/20241–6/30/20274 However, on any matters that fall within the scope of bargaining [Gov't Code § 3504] those issues will be dealt with per the MMBA.

A. In order to share in one-half (1/2) of all the benefits available to full-time employees, any regular, part-time employee shall be assigned to work a minimum of twenty (20) hours per week. However, the foregoing provision does not apply to hourly employees, including, but not limited to, students, and school crossing guards.

B. Part-time employees working in classifications covered by this Agreement shall be eligible to receive the appropriate overtime rate set forth is Section 2 of the MOU for hours worked in excess of (i) the greater of (x) eight (8) hours in a day or (y) their regular shift for that day, and/or (iii) forty (40) hours in a week.

C. Part-time employees shall also receive any general wage, cost of living, or equity adjustments agreed to by the parties under the same provisions applicable to regular status employees.

D. All benefits provided by this Agreement other than those benefits specifically listed below shall be prorated based on the ratio of an employee’s average regularly scheduled weekly hours to the regularly scheduled weekly hours of a full-time employee. For example, an employee with an average regularly scheduled work week of thirty-two (32) hours would have benefits prorated at eighty percent (80%) of the benefits available to a full-time employee. This number would be arrived at by calculating the ratio of 32 to 40 hours per week which is equal to eighty percent (80%).

E. Part-time employees shall receive the same dental, vision, long-term disability insurance, life insurance, employee assistance program benefits, and medical insurance flex benefits as full-time employees.

All other provisions not so declared invalid shall remain in full force and effect. 13 City of Vallejo-IBEW Agreement 07/1/20241–6/30/20274

1.11.SUPREMACY CLAUSE

1. 12 Hour, 10 Minute Shifts
a. The length of the shift for those Water Treatment Plant Operators who relieve a prior outgoing shift is 12 hours and 10 minutes. effective as of July 5, 2012. This is not a change in work hours but is instead a recognition of a past practice.
b. Water Treatment Plant Operators who actually work a 12 hour and 10-minute shift will receive the 10 minutes at a 1.5 overtime rate.

Because the regular shift is 12 hours and 1O minutes and is not work in excess of the regular shift, no provision in this MOU regarding work over scheduled hours applies.
c. Notwithstanding any other provision in this MOU, the 10 minutes will be paid in overtime on regular paydays in the regular paycheck and will not be paid in compensatory time off. d. Failure to arrive at work at the start of the 12-hour, 10- minute shift, will be treated as tardiness.

For example, if another bargaining unit agrees to a concession worth 2% of salary and an across the board increase of 3%, the parties will meet over implementation of a 1% raise. If another bargaining unit agrees to exchange a wage increase for an equivalent employee payment of the City's PERS contribution, that would not be deemed an across-the-board salary increase. This provision shall expire and will no longer be effective on December 31, 2015.

In either case, the City retains the right to approve the usage of any accrued compensatory time off.

2. Overtime for shift employees who work overtime their normal scheduled shift on an actual, not observed, holiday will be calculated at twice the employee's regular straight time pay rate.

As soon as administratively possible, in departments and divisions for which a need to clarify the overtime distribution has been identified, leadership for those identified departments/divisions shall meet and confer with Local 1245 or its appointed designee(s) to determine a methodology for equitably distributing overtime specific to each department/division and its historic workload. At a minimum such a methodology shall address:

1. How overtime is offered to the group (call, text, preferred phone numbers etc.),

2. The tracking of overtime hours offered, refused and actually worked,

3. The creation of a weekly or bi-weekly list sequencing the order of equitable offering of pre-arranged and emergency overtime based on an employee’s total number of accumulated overtime worked,

This group is referred to herein as "classic members”.
b. The Classic employee contribution rate is currently 9% of PERSable compensation (8% statutory employee contribution plus 1% pickup of the employer rate). Such amount shall be deducted from the employee’s paycheck. The parties understand that this provision must be implemented for all non-safety personnel at the same time.

1. Current Employees
a. Effective January 1, 2010, the City PEMHCA (Public Employees Medical and Hospital Care Act) contribution was reduced to an 23 City of Vallejo-IBEW Agreement 07/1/20241–6/30/20274 amount equivalent to 75% of the Kaiser North rate for each level of participation - single, single plus one dependent and single plus two or more dependents.
b.a. Effective the first full pay period following ratification by Local 1245 and approval by City Council of this MOU, as soon as practicable, the City shall cap its PEMHCA
contribution toward medical premiums for employees and eligible dependents at the PEMHCA minimum contribution. 2 The City shall supplement the direct PEMHCA contribution in an amount that, together with the direct PEMHCA contribution shall not exceed 7580% of the Kaiser North rate for each level of participation - single, single plus one dependent and single plus two or more dependents. This supplemental amount shall be provided to employees in a Section 125 Cafeteria/Flexible Benefits Health and Welfare Plan.

premium). The employee shall be responsible for paying
$70050 (the difference between the selected plan and the maximum City contribution) each month.

Retiree-annuitants will continue to receive the same direct PEMHCA City contribution as active employees (i.e., the PEMHCA minimum). The City's contribution to the flexible benefits plan for active employees shall not be considered part of the City's PEMHCA contributions.
2 The PEMHCA minimum employer contribution for 2016 2024 is $15725, subject to annual adjustments by PERS. 24 City of Vallejo-IBEW Agreement 07/1/20241–6/30/20274 b. Alternative Retirement Health Savings Program

employee's retirement. PEMHCA benefits will be granted
to a retiring employee if statutorily required.

The City and Local 1245 shall hold joint employee
explanation meetings prior to October 31, 2016, in
order to explain the impact of an employee irrevocable

an amount commensurate with active
employees, if statutorily required. Those
employees will also have access to the
amounts in their RHSP accounts which the
City has funded since October 1, 2015.
(3) Effective November 1, 2016, the amount of
the PEMHCA benefits, should they be
statutorily required, shall be the PEMHCA

2. The committee will work towards consensus in all decision making.

Minimum requirements from all bargaining groups will be submitted to the committee for consideration. The committee will take those minimum requirements into account when considering alternate health care insurance.

3. If unable to reach consensus on staying in/withdrawing from PEMHCA, each individual bargaining group shall have the option of taking the identified alternate choice(s) for a vote of their membership, or to stay in their current PEMHCA plan as authorized by the separate health resolutions the City has on file with CalPERS for each bargaining group.

One fourth (1/4) of the remaining annual balance of sick leave, computed to the nearest one quarter (1/4) hour, may be added to annual leave; the balance will continue to be recorded as sick leave. (Example: Twelve (12) days sick leave accrued in one year, minus four (4) days used equals eight (8) days unused. One quarter (1/4) of eight (8) days equals two (2) days added to annual leave and six (6) days left as sick leave.)
Employees electing to convert sick leave must do so no later than the 4th Monday of August of the following fiscal year by notifying the Human Resources Department. For example, if an employee qualifies to convert sick leave based on their sick leave usage in FY20240-251, they must elect to convert sick leave to annual leave no later than the fourth Monday of August 20251. Failure to make an election by this deadline shall result in a waiver of the ability to convert sick leave for the prior fiscal year.

Employees who do not successfully complete their promotional probationary period will receive credit for the lesser of (i) the amount of time spent in their original probationary period prior to accepting the promotional position or (ii) nine (9) months.

4. The City may extend the probationary period (either initial or promotional) for new employees and incumbent employees who are promoted for a period not to exceed six (6) additional months due to special circumstances surrounding administrative licensing and certification needs specific to the classification.

1. It shall be the right of the committee members to (a) report and discuss 61 City of Vallejo-IBEW Agreement 07/1/20241–6/30/20274 unsafe conditions they may observe, or which may be called to their attention, including accidents; (b) assist in the development and dissemination of safety information to the employees; and (c) make recommendations with respect to the adequacy of the safety devices, safety equipment and safety practices within the City's operation.
