gation by an employee or a group of employees that the City has
failed to provide a condition of employment which is established
by this Memorandum of Understanding, provided that the enjoyment
of the condition of employment is not made subject to the discre-
tion of the Department Head or the City. This grievance proce-
dure shall not apply to matters over which the Personnel Board
has jurisdiction pursuant to Title 3 of the Municipal Code.
Stale Grievance: A grievance shall be void unless filed in
writing within forty-five (45) calendar days from the date upon
which the City is alleged to have failed to provide a condition of
employment which has been established by this Memorandum of
Understanding, or within forty-five (45) calendar days from the
time an employee might reasonably have been expected to have
learned of the alleged failure. In no event shall a grievance
include a claim for money relief for more than the forty-five (45)
calendar day period plus such reasonable discovery period.
Ce
Informal Discussion with Employee's Supervisor: Before
proceeding to the formal grievance procedure, an employee shall
discuss his/her grievance with his/her immediate supervisor in
private and attempt to work out a satisfactory solution. If the
employee and his/her immediate supervisor cannot work out a
satisfactory solution, the employee may then choose to represent
himself/herself individually, or he/she may request the assistance
of an employee representative of his/her choice, who has been
officially authorized by the Union pursuant to Article 2,
Section 3, in reducing to writing and formally presenting the
grievance.
Formal Written Grievance to Employee's Battalion Chief: If the
employee chooses to formally pursue his/her grievance, he/she shall
present the written grievance to his/her Battalion Chief within
fifteen (15) calendar days after the date upon which the grieving
employee informally discussed the grievance with his/her imme-
diate supervisor. The written grievance shall specify the
Article, Section and/or Subsection of this Memorandum of
Understanding which is alleged to have been violated by the City
and shall specify dates, times, places and persons and other
2O
E®
facts necessary to a clear understanding of the matter being
grieved. The Battalion Chief shall return a clear copy of the
written grievance to the employee with his/her answer thereto in
writing within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of the
written grievance. If the grievance is not resolved at this
level, the employee shall have fifteen (15) calendar days from
receipt of the Battalion Chief's answer within which to file an
appeal to the Fire Chief.
Grievance to Fire Chief: The Fire Chief, or the Fire Chief's
designee shall have fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of
the grievance to review and answer the grievance in writing. A
meeting between the Fire Chief (or the Fire Chief's designee) and
the grievant with his/her representative is required at this
level unless waived by mutual agreement.
Waiver of Battalion Chief Review: If the grievance is not
resolved after the informal discussion with the employee's immed-
iate supervisor, the grievant and the Fire Chief or the Chief's
designee may, by mutual agreement, waive review of the grievance
by the employee's Battalion Chief and proceed to present the
grievance to the Fire Chief or the Chief's designee.
Ge
Arbitration of Grievance: In the event that the grievance is not
resolved by the Fire Chief, the grievant may, within thirty (30)
calendar days after receipt of the Chief's decision, request that
the grievance be heard by an arbitrator.
He
Informal Review by the City Manager: Prior to the selection of
an arbitrator and submission of the grievance for hearing by an
arbitrator, the City Manager or the City Manager's designee
shall informally review the grievance and determine whether said
grievance may be adjusted to the satisfaction of the employee.
The City Manager or the City Manager's designee shall have fif-
teen (15) calendar days in which to review and seek adjustment of
the grievance.
Selection of Arbitrator: The arbitrator shall be selected by
mutual agreement between the City Manager or the City Manager's
designee and the grievant or the grievant's representative. If
the City Manager or the City Manager's designee and the grievant
or the grievant's representative are unable to agree on the
selection of an arbitrator, they shall jointly request the State
Mediation and Conciliation Service to submit a list of seven (7)
qualified arbitrators. The City Manager or the City Manager's
designee and the grievant or the grievant's representative shall
then alternately strike names from the list until only one name
remains, and that person shall serve as arbitrator.
The provisions for arbitration are not intended and shall not be
construed to empower an arbitrator to change any condition of
employment, specifically covered by the Memorandum of
Understanding or to revise, modify or alter, in any respect, any
provision contained in the Memorandum.
21
te
Duty of the Arbitrator: Except when an agreed statement of
facts is submitted by the parties, it shall be the duty of the
arbitrator to hear and consider evidence submitted by the
parties and to thereafter make written findings of fact and
disposition of the grievance which shall be final and binding
upon the parties. The decision of the arbitrator shall be based
solely on the interpretation of the appropriate provisions of the
Memorandum of Understanding applicable to the grievance and the
arbitrator shall not add to, subtract from, modify or disregard
any of the terms or provision of the agreement.
Payment of Costs: Each party to a hearing before an arbitrator
shall bear his or her own expenses in connection therewith. All
fees and expenses of the arbitrator shall be borne one-half by
the City and one-half by the grievant.
Effect o~ Failure of Timely Action: Failure of the employee
to file an appeal within the required time period at any level
shall constitute an abandonment of the grievance. Failure of the
City to respond within the time limit at any step shall result in
an automatic advancement of the grievance to the next step.
Non-Union Representation: In the event that an employee chooses
to represent himself/herself, or arranges for representation
independent of the Union, the Fire Chief and the City shall make
no disposition of a grievance which is inconsistent with the
terms and conditions of this Memorandum. In the event an
employee shall elect to go to hearing independently under
paragraph "G" hereof, the Union shall have the right to be a full
and equal party to such proceeding for the purpose of protecting
the interests of its members under the terms of the Memorandum.
ARTICLE 11. EMERGENCY

authority of the Fire Department and the City to make necessary
changes during emergencies. The Department and/or the City shall

of this Memorandum shall prevail over such conflicting rule, regula-
tion or resolution.

understanding, variation, wavier or modification of any of the terms
or provisions contained herein shall in any manner be binding upon
the parties hereto unless made and executed in writing by all parties
hereto and approved by the City Council.
