Article XXIX shall be modified to cause the "Memorandum of Understanding" to remain in full force and effect until February 29, 1996. 2. Article III, Section 2, shall be modified to provide that effective December 24, 1995 the base salary of each employee covered by this agreement shall be increased by 2%, as set forth in Exhibit "1". 3. Article VI, Section 8, shall be modified to provide that any employee who is required to participate in weapons qualification while off duty shall receive a minimum of 2 hours overtime compensation at the straight time rate provided that the individual must have received advance approval by an authorized representative of the police department to engage in that activity. In addition, Article VI shall be modified to provide that any employee who submits a request to use Accumulated Time Off 7 days in advance must be granted the requested leave, provided that such request does not create an undue disruption in the ability to provide proper coverage as defined by Federal Law. If, during the term of this agreement, this provision creates significant unanticipated overtime costs to the PoI ice Department, both parties agree to make every effort to address that problem and to produce a mutually acceptable resolution. This provision shall terminate at the time the parties enter into a successor "Memorandum of Understanding" unless the parties agree otherwise. 4. Article VII shall be modified to clarify that entitlement to call-back compensation shall apply when an employee has been required to appear in court while off duty and to provide that an employee who is called back shall be regarded as having commenced actual hours of work 30 minutes prior to arriving at the designated work location or court. 5. Article VIII shall be modified as follows: a. Each employee entitled to stand-by or on-call compensation under this provision shall have the option to receive that compensation either in the form of a cash payment or Accumulated Time Off.b. The provisions of section 3 shall apply to employees who have been placed in a stand- by or on-call status for the purpose of being available to provide telephonic testimony. As a result, each such employee shal1 receive two hours overtime compensation therefor at the straight time rate irrespective of the duration of such stand- by or on-call status.c. A sworn peace officer who transfers from another law enforcement agency and is required to appear in court in connection with a subpoena issued in relation to an incident arising out of that previous employment relationship shall be allowed to appear in response to the subpoena without loss of pay if the employee is scheduled to be on duty at the time. If the employee is required to appear while off duty, the employee shall not be entitled to any overtime compensation as a result of that appearance, provided that on a case by case basis the Police Department may adjust the work schedule of that employee to cause that individual to be on duty at the time of the required appearance.6. Article IX shall be modified as follows:a. The Training Bonus shal1 be provided to all Police service Officers and Cal1 Takers during the period they are assigned to train employees, as specified in section 2.b. until such time as the parties enter into a successor "Memorandum of Understanding" current Special Assignments will rema~n at the present level and any vacant Special Assignment position,including newly created ones, shall be filled through a permanent Special Assignment. During the term of this extended agreement representatives of COPA and the City shall make every effort to agree on the establishment of a formal selection process to be utilized to fill future Special Assignments.7. Article XII shall be modified to provide that each employee shall be entitled to receive 90 paid holiday hours per annum in accordance with immediately preceding "Memorandum of Understanding" between the parties. At the same time, each eligible employee shall earn annual vacation hours equal to 90 hours less than those vacation/holiday hours described in Section 1 of the current "Memorandum of Understanding". Any employee who works hours in excess of the regular scheduled work shift on a designated holiday shall receive premium compensation as provided in Article IV. 8. Article XIV, section 5C(3), shall be modified to allow an employee to use up to 30 hours per calendar year (non- cumulative) of sick leave benefits for absences caused by illness or injury of the employee's immediate family. 9. Article XVI, Section 3, shall be modified to increase the face value of Life Insurance benefits provided by the City to $15,000.00, effective october 1, 1995. 10. Article XXVII shall be modified to provide that in the event legislation is adopted that would require the City to take action prior to February 29, 1996 in order to amend its contract with PERS to provide the 2% @ age 55 retirement formula for non-sworn employees covered by this "Memorandum of Understanding", the parties shall immediately reopen this "Memorandum of Understanding" for the purpose of meeting and conferring in good faith regarding that subject matter.11. Article XXIV shall be modified to provide that in grievances filed to challenge the imposition of discipline the final step in the formal administrative process shall be a decision rendered by a Hearing Officer following a full and fair evidentiary hearing conducted by the Hearing Officer. If the parties cannot agree on the identity of the Hearing Officer, the parties shall procure from the State Conciliation Service a list of 7 qualified Hearing Officers. Each party shall alternatively strike one name from the list until only one person remains, who shall be the Hearing Officer.The determination as to which party strikes first shall be made on a random basis.The Hearing Officer shall determine whether good cause exists for the imposition of discipline and, if so, the appropriate degree of discipline, provided that the Hearing Officer may not impose more severe discipline than that assessed by the Police Department.This process shall replace the one contained in section 6. The decision of the Hearing Officer is subject to the right of either party to seek judicial review pursuant to section 1094.5 of the California Code of civil Procedure. 12. The City agrees that at least until such time as the parties enter into a successor agreement providing otherwise Reserve Officers shall not be utilized to fill any vacancy created by the absence of a regular sworn officer who is scheduled to work. Those vacancies only may be filled by another sworn officer in an overtime capacity. Reserve Officers may only be used to supplement the activities of regularly scheduled sworn peace officers, not to replace them. 13. Except as modified by this Amendment, all of the terms and provisions of the Memorandum of Understanding between the parties shall continue in full force and effect. 14. This Amendment is subject to ratification by the membership of COPA and approval by the city Council of the City. Subject to the foregoing, this Amendment is hereby executed by authorized representatives of the City and COPA and entered into this day of 1995. v, COPACITOFORANGE By: L~~ Wv~By:miLk v- c~~ i,_~v By: By: _By: By:A//J--U~~_ shs02118.doc/rlg 4
