Page 9
I Staffing levels
The Chief agrees to discuss any staff configuration changes with
the Guild prior to making any long -term adjustments in staffing
levels. The Guild recognizes the ultimate right of the Chief to adjust

supervisor and six (6) officers up to two (2) hours prior to the shift,
with the following exceptions:

with the shift bids twice a year, the City will allow vacation
requests down to one (1) supervisor and five (5) officers on
each on -duty patrol squad.
b. One (1) officer assigned to the patrol division will be allowed
to be on vacation during each shift even if it results in the

staffing need.
With regard to "unusual occurrences where practical, the Chief
shall provide these dates prior to the twice per year vacation bid.
The holidays specified herein are the Day after Christmas, the Day

duty days will be compensated at the employee's regular rate of pay or
overtime pay when required by FLSA. If an officer is on paid leave (e.g.
comp time, vacation, sick leave), the amount of such leave charged to the

of courses are generally held Monday through Friday during
normal business hours, but that all opportunities for training
will not fall into those hours. The City shall not require an

schedules are adjusted to attend a five (5) day course will be
paid at time and one -half their regular rate of pay for any
hours worked in excess of eight (8) hours per day, and

in excess of twelve (12) hours per day. The meal period
shall not be counted as hours worked for the calculation of
overtime unless the employee is required to remain on the
premises.

4. The City will give back to the employee any
regularly scheduled day off that the employee is required to
work because of a shift adjustment. All days given back to
employees shall be taken consecutive to that employee's
regularly scheduled days off. Nothing shall preclude the City
from giving back two (2) or more missed days off on
separate weekends as long as each missed day off is given
back consecutive to that employee's regular scheduled days
off.
5. All missed days off due to a shift adjustment
will be rescheduled within seven (7) days of the completion
of training. The rescheduled day will be taken within sixty

City, a member of the Guild Executive Board, and the
employee.
6. The City is limited to making only three (3)
such adjustments per calendar year and each adjustment
may not last more than one (1) calendar week.
7. The employee and the Guild must be given
written notice of the shift adjustment seven (7) calendar days
before the adjustment for training is to occur. The City and
the Guild may agree in writing to waive the seven (7)
calendar days notice requirement and /or the requirement
that the days off be taken consecutive.

ARTICLE 7 DEPARTMENT WORK RULES
SECTION 7.1 Generally. The parties recognize that circumstances
change from time to time during the term of labor agreements that give
rise to a need to discuss changes in hours or working conditions (including
the scope of bargaining unit work). In order to provide a convenient
forum to discuss these issues, the parties agree to the procedure set forth
in Section 7.2.
POLICE COMMISSIONED 2008 thru 2010
Page 22
�i
SECTION 7.2 Procedure. This Agreement may be amended within the
scope of this Article provided both parties concur. Supplemental
agreements may be completed through negotiations between the parties
at any time during the life of this Agreement. A joint committee comprised
of representatives of the two parties will meet upon the request of either
party to discuss proposals related to work hours or changes in working
conditions, including the scope of bargaining unit work. Should either
party desire to negotiate a matter of this kind, it shall notify the other party
in writing of its desire to negotiate. Supplemental agreements thus
completed will be signed by an authorized representative of the Employer
and Guild, with a copy to the Director of Administrative Services.
Should either party (through the Guild President, Police Chief, or their
designee), having been notified of the proposed supplemental language,
not respond by requesting a meeting of the joint committee within thirty
(30) calendar days, the proposed language shall be considered
acceptable and shall be forwarded to the other party for signature.
Supplemental agreements thus completed shall become a part of this
Agreement.
In those cases where the parties cannot agree, the parties agree, upon
the request of either party, to expeditiously proceed directly to request a
PERC mediator who will mediate no more than a 30 -day period and, if
necessary, to proceed to interest arbitration on the issue as provided in
RCW 41.56 et seq., using one of the arbitrators selected in the grievance
procedure. The parties agree to waive the appointment of partisan
arbitrators and that the matter will be heard by an arbitrator selected in the
same manner as is provided in the grievance procedure. Neither party
may be required to arbitrate a proposal, which, if granted, would require
the Arbiter to change an express term of this Agreement.

attorney of his /her own choosing, before being interviewed. Such
opportunity to contact and consult privately with a private attorney
shall not unduly delay the disciplinary interview. The employee
shall be entitled to such reasonable intermissions, as he /she shall
request for personal necessities, meals, telephone calls and rest
periods. The employee may be represented by either a private
attorney or the Guild during the interview, but not both.
I. All interviewing shall be limited in scope to activities,
circumstances, or events which pertain to the employee's conduct
or acts which may form the factual basis for disciplinary action
under one (1) or more of the categories contained in Section

time in light of the circumstances and discipline shall be imposed

An employee or the Guild must present a grievance within fourteen
(14) calendar days of its alleged occurrence to the employee's

Page 54

by the supervisor, the grievance, in writing, stating the section of

grieving party, and the remedy sought, may be presented within
fourteen (14) calendar days after receipt of the supervisor's answer
in step 1 to the Chief of Police (with a copy to the Administrative
Services Director) who shall attempt to resolve the grievance within
fourteen (14) calendar days of its presentation.
In the case of disciplinary actions, both appealable to the Civil

appeal to the Civil Service Commission or continue with the

designee by a Guild representative within (14) calendar days after
receipt of the Chiefs answer in Step 2. The Mayor or his /her
