CHAPTER 2. WAGES
ARTICLE 2.1. General Wages
2.1.1. The salary ranges established in this Memorandum of
Understanding (M.O.U.) shall reflect the following adjustments:
1. Effective July 1, 1994 the salary ranges shall receive
an upward adjustment of 3% (see Exhibit "A" attached for July 1,
1994 salary ranges).
2. Effective July 1, 1995, the salary ranges shall receive
an upward adjustment of 2% (see Exhibit "B" attached for January
1, 1994 salary ranges).
3. Combined revenues from sales tax, motor vehicle in lieu
fees and the secured property tax levy are projected at
$16,285,000 for fiscal year 1994/95. As of June 30, 1995, if
revenues from these sources reach or exceed $16,485,000 after
consideration of loss of revenue or additional costs, the City

addition to the across the board increase effective for July 1,
1995 (item #2 above), all represented classifications shall
receive a one percent (1%) salary increase effective July 1,
1995. OR under similar circumstances, if fiscal year 1994/95
combined revenues reach or exceed $16,685,000 as of June 30,
1995, in addition to the across the board increase effective July
1, 1995 (item #2 above), all represented classifications shall
receive an additional two percent (2%)salary increase effective
July 1, 1995. In the event of combined revenues falling below
the level of $16,285,000 as of June 30, 1995, the City has the
right and may need to implement the existing Furlough Program.
If this occurs, the City shall consult with M.A.P.E. prior to the
implementation of MTO.
4. Both parties agree to develop and conduct an advisory
joint salary survey in 1996, prior to the expiration of this
M.O.U. (the details of which such as information to be included,
cities, etc. are to be worked out immediately prior to
undertaking the project).
ARTICLE 2.2. Step Increase
2.2.1. Entry Level Step. All initial employment shall be at the
first step of the salary range, provided that the City Manager
may make an appointment to a position at an appropriate higher
salary when, in his/her opinion, it is necessary to obtain
qualified personnel, or when it appears that the education or
experience of a proposed employee is substantially superior to
Page 4 of 39
the minimum requirements of the class and justifies a beginning
salary in excess of the first step.
2.2.2. Consideration for Step Increase. An employee may be
considered for a salary step increase in accordance with the time
interval established in the salary plan, as referenced in Exhibit
"A". Which, unless otherwise noted, salary step increases within
established salary ranges are scheduled at yearly intervals.
Advancement to a higher salary step within an established salary
range is granted for continued improvements and efficient and
effective work by the employee in the performance of his/her
duties.
2.2.3. Merit Increases. Accelerated merit performance step
increases of five percent (5%) may be granted an employee based
upon the recommendation of the Department Head and approved by
the City Manager. Employees at the maximum step of their salary
range may be granted a merit performance step increase of five
percent (5%) above and beyond their salary range. A merit step
increase may be effective for up to one (1) year. A merit step
increase may be withdrawn and is not a disciplinary action and is
not appealable.
2.2.4. Anniversary Date. Effective 1-1-89, the anniversary date
for employees promoted on or after this date shall remain
unchanged. Based upon job performance, as measured by a
Performance Evaluation, employees may receive consideration for a
step increase within their salary range on their anniversary
date.
2.2.5. Promotions. Employees promoted to higher level positions
shall be placed at the step in the new salary range that will
provide, at a minimum, a five (5%) increase (unless that would
exceed the top step in the salary range).
2.2.6. Performance Evaluation. Prior to the completion of the
probationary period, a minimum of one performance evaluation
report shall be reviewed with the employee.
Upon completion of the probationary period, a performance report
shall be prepared and reviewed yearly thereafter for each
employee in the Classified Service, as a means of determining
whether in -grade salary increases are merited, and/or as a means
of improving employee performance and communication between
supervisors and subordinates.
ARTICLE 2.3 SALARY CHANGE ON RECLASSIFICATION
If an occupied position is reclassified the incumbent shall be
affected as outlined below:
Page 5 of 39
2.3.1. To a lower classification. When a position is re-
allocated to a lower classification. The incumbent is either:
1. Transferred to a vacant position in the former
classification; or
2. If the incumbent's current salary is greater than the
top step of the lower classification, Y -rated at the
current salary until the salary of the lower
classification is at or above the Y -rate.
2.3.2. To a different classification with the same salary range.
When a position is reallocated to a different classification with
the same salary range, the incumbent shall be granted the same
status in the new classification, in which he/she shall be paid
at the same step of the range and shall maintain the same salary
rights.
2.3.3. To a higher classification. When a position is
reclassified to a classification with a higher salary range, the
incumbent is moved into the higher classification with the
position, except in the circumstances prescribed below.
Placement in the salary range shall be in accordance with the
appropriate memorandum of understanding.
If the duties upon which the reclassification are based could
have been assigned to any of a number of employees in that
classification within the division or department, then a
promotional exam is held for the reclassified position. Such an
exam is a departmental only recruitment limited to employees
within that classification. If the incumbent is not successful
in this competitive process, she/he is assigned to the position
vacated by the promotion.
ARTICLE 2.4. COMPENSATION PLAN.
The Compensation Plan adopted by the City Council shall provide
for salary schedules, rates, ranges, steps and any other special
circumstances or items related to the total compensation paid
employees.
Each position within the classified services shall be allocated
to its appropriate class in the classification plan on the basis
of duties and responsibilities. Each class shall be assigned a
salary range or a rate established in the salary plan. All
persons entering the classified service shall be compensated in
accordance with the salary plan then in effect.
Page 6 of 39
All initial employment's shall be at the first step of the salary
range. The City Manager or his/her designee may authorize, upon
the recommendation of the Appointing Authority, a position at an
appropriate higher salary when, in his/her opinion, it is
necessary to obtain (ing) qualified personnel or when it appears
that the education or experience of a proposed employee is
substantially superior to the minimum requirements of the class
and justifies a beginning salary in excess of the first step.
ARTICLE 2.5. PAY PERIOD
City employees are paid twice per month on the 15th and the last
working day of the month. When a holiday falls on a pay day, the
pay day will be transferred to the following day of regular
business unless the Finance Department is able to complete the
payroll by the previous work day. The method of the distributing
payroll shall be established by the Director of Finance.
ARTICLE 2.6 PROBATIONARY PERIOD
2.6.1. Purpose of Probation. After passing an examination and
accepting appointment, each employee shall serve a period of
probation beginning on the date of appointment. Such period
shall be for the purpose of determining the employee's ability to
perform satisfactorily the duties prescribed for the position.
2.6.2. Length of Probationary Period. The probationary period on
original and promotional appointment shall be for one(1) year.
2.6.3. Rejection During Probation. During the probationary
period an employee may be rejected at any time by the Appointing
Authority without the right of appeal.
2.6.4. Notification of Rejection. On determining that a
probationary employee's work is not satisfactory, the Appointing
Authority shall notify the Personnel Officer in writing of
his/her intention to terminate the employee. After discussion
with the Personnel Officer, the Appointing Authority shall notify

2.6.5. Extension of Probationary Period. The probationary period
shall not be extended except in the case of extended illness or

employee was unable to work.
2.6.6. Regular Status. Regular status shall commence with the
day following the expiration date of the probationary period.
Page 7 of 39
2.6.7. Promotion of Probationary Employee. An employee serving a
probationary period may be promoted to a position in a higher
position classification provided he/she is certified from the
appropriate Eligible List. The employee promoted in this manner
shall serve a new probationary period for the position to which
employee is promoted and the new probationary period and
promotional appointment shall be effective the same date.
2.6.8. Unsuccessful Passage of Promotional Probation. An
employee who does not successfully pass his/her promotional
probationary period shall be reinstated to the position in which
the employee held regular status prior to his/her promotion.
Provided, however, that if the cause for not passing the
promotional probationary period was sufficient grounds for
dismissal, the employee shall be subject to dismissal without
reinstatement to the lower position.
2.6.9. Lateral Transfer Probation. Voluntary transfers to
another job classification, within the same salary range, shall
require a six (6) month probationary period. In the event of
unsuccessful passage of this period refer to 2.6.8.
ARTICLE 2.7. SPECIFIED WAGE ADJUSTMENTS / DIFFERENTIALS
2.7.1. Out -of -Class Compensation. Employees assigned in writing
by their supervisor to perform work in a higher paid
classification, shall be compensated at a rate 5% greater than
the employee's current base salary or the lower step of the
classification within which the duties fall, whichever is greater
after a cumulative three (3) days of work in that higher paid
classification. The out -of -class increase shall be retroactive
to the first day of the assignment.
CHAPTER 3. BENEFITS
ARTICLE 3.1. HEALTH AND WELFARE
3.1.1. City Contribution. A base level of $240/month will be
established as the City's contribution toward City offered health
insurance premiums for both active and retired employees
(employees retiring on or after 9-15-90).
Active employees will have a Flexible Spending Account equal to
$170/month, that may be used to pay for excessive, over the $240
base level, employee cost(s) to enroll in City offered group
Accident, Life and Disability insurance plans. Selection of
coverage must include the $5,000 basic group life insurance
program and the employee's basic health plan (unless employee can
provide proof of other health insurance coverage).
Page 8 of 39
t
3.1.2. Pay Back Provision. For active employees, the difference
between the allotted amount (base level and Flexible Spending
Account) and the cost of the City -offered Health, Accident, Life
and Disability insurance plans will be paid back to the employee
up to a maximum payback of $50/month.
3.1.3. Retirees Health Insurance. Any employee who retires after
July 1, 1985 and before 9-15-90, is entitled to a medical benefit
and the City's contribution to such coverage that will not
exceed the cost of the two party rate of the mean of the two
middle cost medical plans.
Employees retiring on or after 9-15-91 and within 120 days of
leaving City employment shall receive a $240 per month
contribution toward the cost of the health insurance plan they
are enrolled in through the City. There are no pay back
provisions for retirees.
3.1.4. 125 Plan. The City will offer a 125 Plan for excess
health insurance premiums as long as such a plan is desired by
M.A.P.E. and possible under the IRS code.
3.1.5. Pro Rata Benefit Rules. Employees covered by this
Agreement who work less than full time but more than twenty (20)
hours per week on a regular basis shall be eligible to receive
prorated leave benefits and a prorated contribution (from base
amount) by the City for health, life and dental benefits which
they may be eligible for based upon the hours worked.
ARTICLE 3.2. DENTAL INSURANCE
The City will provide a dental insurance program which offers
100% coverage for diagnostic and preventative care; $25.00
deductible on corrective care (80/20); and an 80% payment of
eligible costs associated with crown and cast restoration per
patient per calendar year and orthodontic coverage for eligible
dependents (50/50).
ARTICLE 3.3. JOINT BENEFIT COMMITTEE
Both parties agree to continue to utilize the Joint Benefits
Committee for ongoing review of benefit programs, cost
containment and cost savings options. The Committee shall be
made up of representatives of the Miscellaneous, Supervisory,
Police, Fire and Management employees.
Both parties to this agreement have elected to meet and confer,
after the adoption of the Memorandum of Understanding, to
allocate the benefits portion of this settlement. For fiscal
year 1994/95 it is determined that $16,548 is allocated for
Page 9 of 39
benefit enhancements. Initial thoughts on benefit enhancements
include an increase in cash back and an enhancement in the dental
plan's maximum calendar year benefit, i.e., from $1,000 to
$1,500. For fiscal year 1995/96, it is estimated $11,000 is
available for benefit enhancement. Initial thought on this
benefit enhancement is a change in the vacation accrual to a
method like that provided to Management/Mid-management employees.
ARTICLE 3.4. STATE DISABILITY INSURANCE (S.D.I.)
Employees will have the full premium cost for S.D.I. coverage
automatically deducted from their pay check and no City
contribution will be made toward participation in the plan.
It is incumbent upon the employee to keep the City advised of
their medical status and eligibility for S.D.I. With this
notification, S.D.I. benefits, as determined by the State, shall
be integrated with accrued sick and vacation leave in the
following manner:
1. Employee notifies supervisor of disability and need for
time off. At the same time employee files for S.D.I. through the
State Office.
2. Supervisor verifies from leave records the employee's
accrual balances and projects whether or not employee would,
under normal circumstances, be placed in a leave without pay
status during the time off period.
3. Personnel Action Form (PAF) is completed by the
supervisor to document request and approval of extended leave.
4. Personnel Office, on receipt of PAF, contacts employee
and supervisor to discuss availability of coordination of S.D.I.
with leave benefits.
5. Employee's time off is recorded as sick leave and if
necessary then vacation leave on time cards submitted by the
supervisor to the Payroll Office.
6. On receipt of the S.D.I. checks employee endorses the
checks over to the City of San Rafael.
7. Based upon employee's hourly rate of pay the Payroll
Office computes how much used sick and/or vacation leave time the
employee may buy back and credits the employee with those hours.
NOTE: The employee may not buy back more than accrued at or
during the time of the disability.
8. The Personnel Office, after notification from Payroll,
notifies the employee when they have used all accrued sick and/or
Page 10 of 39
vacation time and when leave without pay status (LWOP) begins.
Once the employee is on LWOP they would keep any S.D.I. checks
received and would be fully responsible for the monthly health,
dental and life insurance premiums if they chose to remain in the
group plans.
ARTICLE 3.5. RETIREMENT
3.5.1. City Contribution. The City will pay up to a maximum of
five percent (5%) of an employee's salary or fifty percent (50%)
of the employee's retirement contribution rate, whichever is
less, to the Marin County Retirement System.
3.5.2. Contribution with Pre-tax Dollars. The City of San Rafael
acknowledges that under its current practice, the employee's
share of their retirement contribution is deducted with pretax
dollars. This practice will continue until changed through the
Meet and Confer process or until IRS regulations change.
ARTICLE 3.6. SICK LEAVE
3.6.1. Eligibility: Sick leave with pay shall be granted to each
eligible employee. Sick leave may not be used at an employee's
discretion, but shall be allowed only in case of necessity and
actual sickness or disability. The employee is required to
notify employee's immediate supervisor or department head
according to department Rules and Regulations at the beginning of
his/her daily duties. Every employee who is absent from his/her
duties for two (2) consecutive work days shall file with the
Personnel Director, a physician's certificate or the employee's
personal affidavit stating the cause of the illness or
disability.
3.6.2. Accumulation: All eligible full time employees shall earn
sick leave credits at the rate of one (1) working day per month
commencing with the date of employment. Unused sick leave may be
accumulated to an amount not to exceed one hundred fifty (150)
working days. The sick leave accrual rate is prorated for
eligible part time employees. Effective 7-1-90, the cap on sick
leave accrual, 150 days, is eliminated for accrual purposes only.
The cap remains in effect for sick leave separation payoff
purposes for those hired before 10-1-79.
3.6.3. Use of Sick Leave: An employee may use accrued sick leave
during their probationary period. An employee eligible for sick
leave with pay shall be granted such leave for the following
reasons:
Page 11 of 39
1. Personal illness or illness within the immediate family
(family member means an employee's spouse, and any
unmarried child, including adopted child, a stepchild, or
recognized natural child who lives with the employee in a
regular parent-child relationship), or physical
incapacity resulting from causes beyond the employee's
control; or
2. Enforced quarantine of the employee in accordance with
community health regulations; or
3. Medical appointments that cannot be scheduled during non-
working hours shall be charged to sick leave.
3.6.4. Advance of Sick Leave: Whenever circumstances require,
and with the approval of the City Manager, sick leave may be
taken in advance of accrual up to a maximum determined by the
City Manager, provided that any employee separated from the
service who has been granted sick leave that is unaccrued at the
time of such separation shall reimburse the City of all salary
paid in connection with such unaccrued leave.
3.6.5. Compensation For Unused Portion. Upon termination of
employment by resignation, retirement or death, a regular
employee who leaves the City service in good standing and who was
employed in the Miscellaneous unit before October 1, 1979, shall
receive compensation for all accumulated unused sick leave based
upon the rate of three percent (3%) for each year of service, to

Step 2. If the grievant is not satisfied with the
resolution at Step 1 the grievant must reduce the
grievance to writing and present it to the
Department Head within five (5) days.
The written grievance shall contain a statement of
facts about the nature of the grievance, and shall
identify the specific provisions of this
Memorandum of Understanding alleged to be
violated, applicable times, places and names of
those involved, the remedy or relief requested,
and shall be signed by the grievant.
The Department Head shall confer with the grievant
and within ten (10) days respond to the
allegations in writing.
Step 3. If the grievant is not satisfied with the
resolution at Step 2, the grievant shall within
five (5) days appeal the matter to the City
Manager.
The City Manager shall investigate the matter,
conduct a hearing if the City Manager deems it
Page 27 of 39
appropriate and within ten (10) days, thereafter,
respond to the allegations in writing.
Step 4. If the grievance remains unresolved after Step 3,
the Union may, by written notice to the City
Personnel Office within ten (10) days after the
receipt of the response in Step 3, notify the City
that the Union wishes to appeal the grievance to
final and binding arbitration. The parties shall
attempt to agree upon an arbitrator. If no
agreement is reached, they shall request a list
from the State Conciliation Service of nine (9)
names.
Each party shall then alternately strike a name
until only one (1) name remains, said person to be
the arbitrator. The order of striking shall be
determined by the flip of a coin.
5.4.3. Arbitration. The arbitrator shall be empowered to conduct
a hearing and to hear and receive evidence presented by the
parties. The hearing shall be informal and need not be conducted
according to technical rules of evidence. Repetitious evidence
may be excluded and oral evidence shall be taken only under oath.
The arbitrator shall determine what evidence is relevant and
pertinent, as well as any procedural matters, and he/she may
call, recall and examine witnesses as he/she deems proper.
The burden of proof shall be upon the Union in grievance matters
and upon the City in disciplinary/discharge matters.
After the conclusion of any hearing and the submission of any
post hearing evidence or briefs agreed upon by the parties, the
arbitrator shall render a written decision which shall be final
and binding upon the City, the Union and any employee(s) involved
in the grievance or disciplinary matter.
The arbitrator shall not be empowered to add to, subtract from,
or in any way modify or alter any provision of this Memorandum of
Understanding. The arbitrator shall only determine whether a
grievance exists in the manner alleged by the grievant, and what
the proper remedy, if any, shall be, or in the case of
disciplinary/discharge matter whether the City allegations are
accurate and the appropriateness of the disciplinary penalty.
The fees and expenses of the arbitrator shall be shared equally
by the Union and the City. All other expenses shall be borne by
tb;e party incurring them. The cost of the services of court
reporter shall be borne by the requesting party unless there is a
Page 28 of 39
mutual agreement to share the cost or unless the arbitrator so
requests. Then the costs will be shared equally.
5.4.4. General Provisions.
(1) Employees who participate in the Grievance Procedure,
by filing a grievance or acting as a witness on the
behalf of either party shall be free from
discrimination by either the Union or the City.
(2) A grievant has the right to be represented at each
stage of the procedure, to cross examine witnesses, and
have access to all information regarding the basis of
the grievance upon which the City relies in making its
determinations.
(3) If the City management fails to respond within the
specified time limits, the grievance shall, at the
request of the Union, automatically be moved to the
next step of the procedure. If the Union or a grievant
fails to process or appeal a grievance within the
specified time limits, the matter shall be deemed
settled. The parties may by mutual agreement waive the
steps in the procedure.
(4) If a hearing is held during work hours of employee
witnesses, such employees shall be released from duties
without loss of pay or benefits to appear at the
hearing. Witnesses requested by the parties shall be
compelled to attend said hearings.
(5) The Personnel Office shall act as the central
repository for all grievances.
(6) Time limits contained herein may be extended by mutual
agreement of the parties. Absence for bona fide
reasons by a grievant, the Union Executive Secretary or
any management official involved in responding to the
grievance shall automatically extend the time limits by
the same number of days of absence.
ARTICLE 5.5. POSITION RECLASSIFICATION PROCEDURE
The process by which an individual position may be audited to
review the appropriateness of its classification is provided
in this Article.
5.5.1. Purpose. This administrative procedure shall establish
consistent guidelines for the creation and/or review of a
position's job classification.
Page 29 of 39
5.5.2. Policy. The City of San Rafael seeks to maintain a
classification system and process whereby all positions are
accurately classified on the basis of current and ongoing job
responsibilities officially assigned to said position(s).
5.5.3. Creation of New Position. The Appointing Authority or
their designee may during the budget process request the creation
of a new job classification by:
1. Completion of prescribed personnel form(s) and a
position description questionnaire form.
2. Completed forms shall be submitted to the City of San
Rafael's Personnel Office.
3. Personnel Office staff shall within 60 calendar days of
receipt of the forms complete a formal audit of the proposed
job class and prepare a written report.
4. The written report shall be submitted to the City
Manager and the City Council for final approval.
5. Creation of a new job classification shall be effective
with the start of the new fiscal year.
5.5.4. Reclassification. The Appointing Authority or their
designee or an incumbent of a position may request, in writing, a
classification review. This classification review may be
requested if the position has not been reviewed within the
previous twelve (12) months and either permanent and substantial
changes have been made in the duties and responsibilities
assigned to the position or there is evidence that the majority
(50% or more) of the work being performed is not appropriate for
the position's current classification.
1. All requests for reclassification must be submitted to
the Personnel Office on prescribed personnel form(s) by the
appointing authority. Reclassification requests must be
accompanied by a current job description approved by the
position's immediate supervisor and appointing authority.
2. Employee initiated reclassification requests must first
be directed to the employee's Appointing Authority. The
appointing authority shall forward the employee's request to
the Personnel Officer within ten (10) days of receipt.
3. The Personnel Officer shall ensure the review (audit) of
the employee's position is completed within sixty (60)
calendar days of receipt of the request in the Personnel
Office.
4. Based upon the analysis and evaluation of a position,
the Personnel Office reviewer may recommend that the
Page 30 of 39
position be sustained in its current class or be
reclassified (up or down) to the proper classification based
upon the assigned work. The City Manager or their designee
shall review all reclassification recommendations made by
the Personnel Office.
5. Within ten (10) days of receipt of the written audit
decision the affected employee(s) may, in writing, submit a
request for review of this decision to the City Manager.
This request for review must show substantial error and/or
omission on the part of the auditor. The City Manager may
render a decision on the appeal on the basis of the written
material or may interview the involved parties to discuss
the specific error or omission prior to rendering a
decision.
6. The City Manager shall have final decision making
authority on all reclassifications.
7. Reclassifications shall be effective the first of the
month following final approval of the action. Any changes
of pay as a result of the reallocation shall be in
accordance with the City's Personnel Rules and Regulations
in effect at the time.
ARTICLE 5.6 FURLOUGH PROGRAM
Both the City of San Rafael and M.A.P.E. recognize the current
economic condition of the State of California and the City of San
Rafael. Through this recognition and in a cooperative spirit the
City of San Rafael and M.A.P.E. have worked expeditiously on the
development of a Furlough Program. This Agreement does not mean
the City will necessarily implement furloughs; but in the event
it is necessary to implement due to continued economic problems
in the City of San Rafael the procedures for this Furlough
Program shall provide for both Voluntary Time Off (herein
described as VTO) and Mandatory Time Off (herein described as
MTO).
5.6.1. Voluntary Time Off (VTO). The needs of the City and the
respective departments (as determined by the Department Head and
City Manager) will need to be considered in the actual granting
of VTO. Any VTO time granted and the resulting savings will have
a corresponding impact on the time needed through MTO.
1. An employee's VTO time would count in determining how
many hours of MTO an employee needed to take during the
fiscal year.
Page 31 of 39
2. An employee selecting VTO would receive one half hour of
furlough induced Personal Leave time off for every hour of
VTO taken not to exceed the number of furlough induced
Personal Leave time off an employee scheduled for MTO would
receive (establishes a maximum cap of 5%). This furlough
induced Personal Leave time is to be taken as described in
5.6.2. (4.b.).
3. Employees who take VTO at a time other than when MTO is
taken by other employees will have to take vacation leave,
compensatory time off or leave without pay if the MTO
results in the closure of the department.
5.6.2. Mandatory Time Off (MTO). MTO will be taken by the
employee during the MTO period when feasible in their respective
department (as determined by the Department Head and City
Manager) and after consultation with the union. The City will
attempt to schedule MTO time in blocks of days (between Xmas and
New Years) or individual days next to scheduled holidays and/or
weekends.
1. Employees may not take paid vacation time in lieu of
designated MTO time.
2. MTO time shall be considered time in pay status for the
accrual of leave and eligibility for holidays. MTO time
will not impact health, dental and life insurance benefits.
At this time MTO time will impact Marin County retirement
contributions; but if the Marin County Retirement System
changes its policy on this, the City will, effective the
first on the month following notice from the Marin County
Retirement System, make the necessary change in the
program's administration to correspond with the change in
the policy. Any employee who notifies the City no later
than 07-30-93 of their retirement date, and retires from the
Marin County Retirement System during FY 93-94, shall be
exempted from the MTO requirements. If said employee did
not retire during FY 93-94 as stated, said employee would be
docked in pay an amount equivalent to the number of MTO
hours taken by other represented employees.
3. MTO time shall apply toward time in service for step
increases, completion of probation, and related service
credit.
4. Other Terms and Conditions:
a. The MTO program shall be limited to a maximum five
percent (5%) reduction in work hours/pay for the fiscal
year. For each MTO hour deducted, the involved employee
Page 32 of 39
shall be credited with a one half hour added to a furlough
induced Personal Leave balance.
b. Personal Leave accrued through the MTO Program may
be taken beginning July 1, following fiscal year, with
supervisory approval. Furlough induced Personal Leave has
no cash value upon termination of employment. If an
employee is laid off before having the opportunity to take
unused furlough induced Personal Leave, said employee would
be eligible to take the unused furlough induced Personal
leave during the thirty day layoff notice period.
c. Should the City of San Rafael experience a financial
windfall during the fiscal year that furloughs are
implemented, the City and M.A.P.E. agree to re -open
negotiations on this Furlough Plan.
CHAPTER 6. UNION RIGHTS
ARTICLE 6.1. EMPLOYEE REPRESENTATIVES
6.1.1. Designation. The Union shall by written notice to the
City Manager, designate -certain of its members as Employee
Representatives. Employee Representatives shall be permitted
reasonable time for Union activities including grievance
representation. In all cases, the Representative shall secure
permission from the Representative's supervisor before leaving a
work assignment. Such permission shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
Employee Representatives for salary discussions shall be in
accordance with Meyers-Milias-Brown (MMB) Act.
6.1.2. Bulletin Boards. Authorized representatives of the Union
shall be allowed to post Union notices on specified bulletin,
boards maintained on City premises.
ARTICLE 6.2. DUES DEDUCTION
6.2.1. Dues Collection. City agrees, upon written consent of the
employee involved, to deduct dues, as established by the Union,
from the salaries of its members. The sums so withheld shall be
remitted by City, without delay, along with a list of employees
who have had said dues deducted.
6.2.2. Dues Collection During Separation from Employment. The
provisions specified above (6.2.1.) shall not apply during
periods of separation from the representation Unit by any such
employee, but shall reapply to such employee commencing with the
Page 33 of 39
next full pay period following the return of the employee to the
representation Unit. The term separation includes transfer out
of the Unit, layoff, and leave without pay absences with a
duration of more than five (5) working days.
Agency Shop. The parties hereto recognize that membership in the
Association is not compulsory, that employees have the right to
join, not join, maintain, or drop their membership in the
Association and that neither party shall exert any pressure on or
discriminate against an employee regarding such matters. The
Association agrees it is obligated to represent all of the
employees in the Unit fairly and equally, without regard to
whether or not an employee is a member of the Association.
Therefore, effective August 1, 1992, any employee of the City as
of August 1, 1992, who is a member of the Association on August
1, 1992, or who subsequently joins, and all employees in the Unit
hired on or after that date shall, as a condition of continued
employment, either be required to belong to the Association or to
pay to the Association an amount equal to 90% of that which would
be paid by an employee who decides to become a member of the
Association at the time of employment.
The employee's earnings must be regularly sufficient after other
legal and required deductions are made to cover the amount of the
dues or service fees check off authorized. When an employee is
in a non -pay status for an entire pay period, no withholding will
be made to cover the pay period from future earnings. In the
case of an employee who is in a non -pay status during only part
of the pay period, and the salary is not sufficient to cover the
full withholding, no deduction shall be made. In this
connection, all other legal and required deductions have priority
over Association dues.
The Association shall notify the City in writing as to the amount
of such dues uniformly required of all members of the
Association.
Moneys withheld by the City shall be transmitted to the Treasurer
of the Association at the address specified. The Association
shall indemnify, defend, and hold the City harmless against any
claims made, and against any suit instituted against the City on
account of check off of employee organization dues or service
fees. In addition, the Association shall refund to the City any
amount paid to it in error upon presentation of supporting
evidence.

CHAPTER 7. MANAGEMENT RIGHTS

of any of the rights set forth above, the effect of said exercise
of rights by the City impacts an area within the scope of
representation as set forth in the Meyers/Milias/Brown Act, case

CHAPTER 8. REDUCTION IN FORCE
ARTICLE 8.1 AUTHORITY
The Appointing Authority may lay off, without prejudice, any
regular employee because of lack of work or funds, or
organizational alterations, or for reasons of economy or
organizational efficiency.
ARTICLE 8.2 NOTICE
Regular employees designated for layoff or demotion shall be
notified in writing at least thirty (30) calendar days prior to
the anticipated date of termination or demotion. The employee
organization shall also be no notified.
ARTICLE 8.3 ORDER OF LAYOFF
Layoffs and/or reductions in force shall be made by
classification. A classification is defined as a position or
number of positions having the same title, job description and
salary. Extra hire employees shall be laid off before permanent
employees in the affected classification. In effecting the
preceding order, a part-time permanent employee with more
seniority can displace a full time permanent employee.
ARTICLE 8.4 SENIORITY
If two or more employees within a classification have achieved
permanent status, such employees will be laid off or reduced on
the following basis:
a. Seniority within the affected classification will be
determinative. Such seniority shall include time
served in higher classifications (s). The computation
of seniority for part-time employees will be credited
on a pro rata basis to full time service. Time spent
on a City Manager approved leave of absence without pay
does not count toward seniority.
b. If the seniority of two or more employees in the
affected classification or higher classifications(s) is
equal, departmental seniority shall be determinative.
C. If all of the above factors are equal, the date regular
status in City service is achieved shall be
determinative.
Page 36 of 39
d. If all of the above are equal, date of certification
for appointment shall be determinative.
ARTICLE 8.5 BUMPING RIGHTS
An employee designated to be laid off may bump into a class at
the same salary level, or into the next lower classification in
which such employee has previously held regular status. An
employee who is bumped, shall be laid off in the same manner as
an employee whose position is abolished.
ARTICLE 8.6 TRANSFER RIGHTS
The Personnel Officer will make every effort to transfer an
employee who is to be affected by a reduction in force to another
vacant position for which such employee may qualify. The length
of eligibility for such transfer will be the period of
notification as provided in 10.2, but no longer than the
effective date of such layoff or reduction.
ARTICLE 8.7 RE-EMPLOYMENT
8.7.1. General Guidelines. Individuals who have been laid off or
demoted shall be offered reappointment to the same classification
in which they held status in the order of seniority in the
classification. Individuals demoted in lieu of reduction in
force shall be offered restoration to the highest class in which
they held status and in which there is a vacancy prior to the
appointment of individuals who have been laid off.
8.7.2. Right to Re-employment. Each person who has been laid off
or demoted in lieu of a layoff from a position the person
held, shall, in writing, be offered reappointment in the same
classification should a vacancy occur in the classification
within two years after the layoff or demotion. Prior to being
re-employed, the employee must pass a physical exam administered
by a City appointed physician and must pass the background check
administered by the City.
8.7.3. Time Limits. Should the person not accept the
reappointment within seven (7) calendar days after the date of
the offer, or should the person decline or be unable to begin
work within two weeks after the date of acceptance of the offer,
the person shall be considered unavailable for employment, shall
forfeit the right to re-employment and be removed from the re-
employment list.
8.7.4. Availability. Whenever a person is unavailable for re-
employment, the next senior person who is eligible on the re-
employment list shall be offered re-employment.
Page 37 of 39
8.7.5. Probationary Status. Employees re -appointed under the
provisions above will not be required to complete a new
probationary period if they had previously held permanent status
in the classification. Employees who had not completed their
probationary period shall serve the remainder of the probationary
period upon re -appointment.
8.7.6. Restoration of Benefits. Employees restored to previously
held positions shall be deemed to have returned from a leave of
absence for the purpose of all rights and benefits legally
permissible. Time not on the payroll will not count as time
worked for the purposes of seniority accrual.
