It will be the responsibility of the employee to have the required
clothing and/or safety equipment needed for the tasks assigned. If an
employee should be at work without the required clothing or safety equipment,
that employee will not be paid until he is at the work site with the required
clothing and/or safety equipment.
15.1 Responsibility for· Lost Tools
The City shall provide all tools and equipment which are required
as necessary to perform any assigned task in a safe manner. Tools and
equipment so provided shall be considered in the safekeeping of the

-10 -
for their custody until such time as they are returned. Tools and
equipment not returned at the designated time by an employee to whom
they are issued may be charged to such employee who will be required to
reimburse the City for like replacement; provided, however, that such
requirement for reimbursement shall not apply when reasonable doubt can
be demonstrated that missing tools or equipment were stolen by other
persons and not as the result of having been misplaced. Nothing herein
shall be construed as being applicable to damage or breakage of such
tools and equipment caused by normal and prudent use in the performance
of assigned tasks for which they were intended.
SECTION 16.0: TEMPORARY DISABILITY BENEFITS
Any employee sustaining an injury arising out of, or in the course of,

bilities normally assigned to that job is entitled to receive temporary
disability payments.
Temporary disability payments shall be made for one week in advance as
wages on the fourth day after the injured employee leaves work as a result of
the injury; however, if the injury causes disability of more than twenty-one
consecutive days or necessitates hospitalization, the temporary disability
payments shall be made from the first day the injured employee leaves work
as a result of the injury.
Amounts payable as temporary disability payments shall be based upon the
injured employee's weekly earnings, or his weekly earning capacity at the time
of the injury, multiplied by 66.667 percent; provided, however, no such payments
shall be less than forty-nine dollars per week nor more than one hundred
fifty-four dollars per week or as otherwise may be established by law.

has been accrued to the employee's account.

SECTION 17: RECORDING OF TIME
The City and the employees covered by this Memorandum of Understanding
both recognize the need to provide the required levels of service in the best
cost-effective manner as possible. Adherence to prescribed attendance regulations
is one of many factors involved in providing such service.
Should the City be able to demonstrate that other administrative techniques
are insufficient to record properly the attendance of employees, the City and
the Union, as the designated representatives of the employees, agree that at
such time further discussions will be held on the necessity for and the procedural
aspects of implementing an alternative method of assuring proper recordation of
attendance. Said discussions will be limited to this subject matter and will
not be the basis for negotiating any other condition of employment.
SECTION 18: DUE PROCESS
In each and every instance involving the issuance of warning notices,
suspensions or the dismissal or discharge of an employee, such will not be
effectuated without the empl9yee first having been given in writing the
basis for such action being taken and the opportunity to question the reasons
therefore of his supervisor or department head. Said opportunity shall be as
soon as it is practicable after having been served the written notice and
shall not constitute any limitation otherwise available through the grievance
or appeal procedures.
SECTION 19: LAYOFFS
Layoffs of employees may be made by the Appointing Authority for lack
of funds, lack of work or for other similar and just cause. The order of
layoff shall be that which, in the opinion of the Appointing Authority, will
cause the least disruption of service to the City; provided, however, that
within any given position classification employees whose salaries or wages
are funded in part or whole by Federal employment grants shall be laid off
first before employees holding certified status and who occupy positions
funded from sources other than Federal employment grants.
The City and Union agree that at a mutually convenient time during the
term of this agreement discussions will be held preparatory to the development
of a layoff procedure which will provide for such conditions as applicable
criteria, demotion in lieu of layoff, recall and other similar but allied
provisions.
SECTION 20: REINSTATEMENT
The names of employees affected by layoff shall be placed on a recall
-12 -
list for a period of t~,.;o years in the reverse order oi layoff and shall have
the first opportunity for reinstatement. Failure to respond within ten days
to a written notice of such opportunity shall cause that name to be removed
from the recall list.
Employees whose salaries and wages are funded in part or whole by Federal
employment grants and who are laid off shall not be eligible for reinstatement
until all other employees whose names are on the recall list have been given
the opportunity for reinstatement.
SECTION 21: I::1PASSE PROCEDURES
The following procedures, extracted from the Municipal Code, shall apply
in the event the parties are unable to resolve an impasse satisfactorily:
2.52.410 Impasses
A. Impasse procedures may be invoked only after the possibility of
settlement by direct discussion has been exhausted. The impasse procedures
are as follows:
1. Mediation (or conciliation). (Defined in Section 2.52.290)
All mediation proceedings shall be private. The mediator shall make no
public recommendations nor take any public position concerning the issue;
2. A determination by the City Council after a hearing on the merits
of the dispute.
3. Any other dispute resolving procedures to which the parties
mutually agree or r.rhich the City Council may order.
Any party may initiate the impasse procedure by filing with the other
party (or parties) affected a written request for an impasse meeting
together with a statement of its position on all disputed issues. An
impasse meeting shall then be scheduled by the municipal employee relations
officer forthwith after the date of filing of the written request for such
meeting, with written not~ce to all parties affected. The purpose of such
impasse meeting is two fold:
a. To permit a review of the position of all parties in a final
effort to reach agreement on the disputed issues, and
b. If agreement is not concluded, to mutually select the specific
impasse procedure to which the dispute shall be submitted; in the absence
of agreement between the parties on this point, the matter shall be
referred to the City Council.
B. The fees and expenses, if any, of mediators or of any other impasse
procedure, shall be payable one-half by the City and one-half by the employee
