The grievance procedure shall provide for the following steps; except for grievances that are a result of disci2linafy. action which shall be in at Step Four: Steer One. Informal Procedure. An employee must attempt first to resolve a grievance through discussion with his immediate supervisor within ten (10) working days from the date of the alleged incident or action giving rise to the grievance on an informal basis. If, after such discussion, the employee does not believe the problem has been satisfactorily resolved, he shall have the right and obligation to discuss it with his supervisor's immediate supervisor, if any, andhisdepartment head, if necessary. Every effort shall be made to find an acceptable solution by these informal means at the most immediate level of supervision. At no time may an informal process go beyond the department head concerned. In order that this informal procedure may be responsive, all parties involved shall expedite this process. In no case may more than thirty (30) days elapse from the date of the alleged incident or action giving rise to the grievance, and the filing of a written grievance in Step Two, or the grievance shall be barred and waived. fteg Two. Department Head Response. If the non -disciplinary grievance is not resolved in Step One, or if no answer has been received within five (5) working days from the presentation of the oral grievance, the employee may, within thirty (30) working days from the date of the incident giving rise to the grievance, present the grievance in writing to his department head. Failure of the employee to take this action will constitute termination of the grievance. The department head shall further review and discuss the grievance with the employee and shall render its decision and comments, in writing, and return them to the employee within ten (10) working days after receiving the grievance. 34 H/PSNL/LABOR/DCEA' MISC.MOU.2018-2021.04-24-18 §1V Three. Management Representative. If the grievance is not resolved in Step Two, or if no answer has been received within time limits established in Step Two, the employee may within ten (10) working days, present the grievance in writing to the designated management representative for processing. Failure of the employee to take this action will constitute termination of the grievance. In the event the employee is not being represented by a recognized employee_ organization,, the designated management representative shall attempt to resolve the grievance. If the employee is being represented by a recognized employee organization, the designated management representative shall convene a joint meeting of the recognized employee organization and himself, within five (5) working days, in an attempt to resolve the grievance. In the event the grievance is not satisfactorily adjusted or settled through discussion at this level, management shall advise the employee and/or employee organization, in writing, within ten (10) working days as to its position on the grievance. Sten Four Grievance Hearing. if the grievance is not resolved in Step Three, the employee may, within ten (10) working days of the receipt of the written position from management representatives, present a "request for hearing" in writing to the Personnel Director. However, the only grievances which may be submitted for review are matters which have resulted in a suspension without pay, reduction in pay, demotion, termination, or otherwise have monetary value to the employee. Failure of the employee to take this action will constitute termination of the grievance. With the approval of the Personnel Advisory Board, the Personnel Director shall request from the State Mediation and Conciliation Service, or mutually agreed upon alternative organization, a list of seven (7) neutral hearing officers. In the event that the parties cannot agree upon a mutually acceptable hearing officer from the list of seven, the parties shall alternately strike names from the list, with the City striking the first name. The identity of the last remaining individual on the list will be selected as the hearing officer. The hearing officer shall preside over a full and fair evidentiary hearing and, within thirty (30) calendar days of its conclusion, render a written decision that includes findings of fact and a recommendation to the City Manager. That decision shall be served jointly upon the grieving party and the City Manager. Stec Five! City Manager's Decision.

The decision of the City Manager shall be the final administrative decision. ARTICLE XXIII 1116IM03MMOR Sul Section 1. Substance Abuse Policy. The City of Downey and the Association have a vital interest in maintaining safe, healthful and efficient working conditions. Being under the influence of a drug or alcohol on the job may pose serious safety and health risks not only to the user but to co-workers and the citizens of Downey. The possession, use or sale of an illegal drug or of alcohol on the job also poses unacceptable risks for safe, healthful and efficient operations. "On the job" means while on City premises, at work locations, or while on duty or being compensated on an "on call status." 35 H/ P S N L/ LA B O R/ D C EA- M I S C. M O U. 2018-2021.04-24-18 The City of Downey and the Association recognize that their future is dependent on the physical and psychological well-being of all employees. The City and the Association mutually acknowledge that a drug and alcohol -free work environment benefits Downey's employees and citizens. The purpose of this section is to define the City's drug and alcohol policy as well as the possible consequences of policy violation. A. Possession, sale, useor being under the influence of drugs or alcohol while on the job is strictly prohibited. This prohibition shall not apply to legitimate undercover activities of Police Officers which are undertaken in accordance with the direction of the Police Department. B. When reasonable suspicion exists, the City may require an employee to submit to a medical examination, including, but not limited to, a substance screening. Substance screening means the testing of urine or other body fluids as reasonably deemed necessary by a physician to determine whether an employee has a restricted substance in their system. 1. Reasonable suspicion is cause based upon objective facts sufficient to lead a reasonably prudent supervisor to suspect that an employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol so that the employee's ability to perform the functions of the job is impaired or so that the employee's ability to perform his/her job safely is reduced. 2. Post -accident testing under this Article shall be conducted based on reasonable suspicion as defined in this Section and shall not be automatic, unless as required by law per Department of Transportation (DOT) Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration Regulations (FMCSA) (refer to City of Downey Controlled Substance and Alcohol Misuse Policy and Procedures Manual). C. Any manager or supervisor requesting an employee to submit to a substance screening shall document in writing the facts constituting reasonable suspicion and shall give the employee a copy. The employee shall be given an opportunity to provide additional facts. An employee who is then ordered to submit to a substance abuse screening may request to be represented. Because time is of the essence in substance screening, a representative must be available within a reasonable time or the employee will then be ordered to submit to substance screening. An employee whorefusesto submit to a substance screening maybe considered insubordinate and shall be subject to disciplinary action up to and including termination. D. The supervisor, or designee; shall transport the suspected employee to the testing facility. Testing shall occur on City time and be paid for by the City. Employee urine samples, or other body fluids, will be by a certified system which includes methods or mechanisms designed to assure the integrity of the sample. The facility used for testing shall be certified by the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration of the Department of Health and Human Services and comply with established guidelines for "chain of custody" to insure that identity and integrity of the sample is preserved throughout the collecting, shipping, testing and storage process. 36 H /PS N L/LAB OR/DC EA -M I SC . MO U, 2018-2021.04-24-18 E. Any positive test for alcohol- or drugs will be confirmed by a scientifically sound method. An employee who tests positive on a confirmatory test will be given the opportunity to discuss the results with a physician to be designated by the City. The employee should be prepared at that time to show proof of any valid medical prescription for any detected substance or to otherwise explain, if he or she so chooses,_a positive test result. F. While use of medically prescribed medications and drugs is not per se a violation of this policy, this policy shall establish that no employee shall operate a City vehicle or dangerous machinery or equipment while taking any kind of medication or drugs which are clearly marked that they may cause significant drowsiness or impair an employee's performance. An employee shall notify his/her supervisor, before beginning work, when taking such medications or drugs. In the event there is a question regarding an employee's ability to safely and effectively perform assigned duties while using such medications or drugs, clearance from a physician designated by the City may be required. The City reserves the right to send an employee home on sick leave under these circumstances. G. Employees with substance abuse problems are encouraged to participate voluntarily in the City -sponsored Employee Assistance Program (EAP). Assistance through the EAP may be sought by an employee with complete confidentiality and without adverse consequences to his/her employment. Employees should be aware, however, that'a request for assistance through the EAP will not insulate the employee from disciplinary action already contemplated. Depending upon the facts surrounding the reasonable suspicion determination, positive test result, and/or other violation of this policy or other City/department rules and regulations, the City may refer an employee to the EAP. Such referral could, at the discretion of the City, be made available to the employee as an alternative to disciplinary action. Referral would be subject to agreement by the employee to enroll, participate in and successfully complete a rehabilitation and/or counseling program and other terms and conditions in a "Last Chance Agreement." 1. It is the City's intent to use the EAP option for first offenders except the City reserves the right to discipline for those offenses which area significant violation of City/department rules and regulations or where violation did or could have resulted in serious injury or property damage. Section 2. Departmentof •,• • D•T) Controlled Substance and Alcohol Testing Program. 1. Administration. In accordance with City of Downey Resolution No. 5934, policy and procedures for compliance with the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration (FMCSA) Regulations (49 CFR Parts 40 and 382) shall remain in effect for those employees who are required to possess and maintain a commercial driver's license as a condition of employment for the performance of safety sensitive duties. As applicable, the _City's policy and procedures will be amended to comply with changes in law. 2. Unless otherwise designated, the Human Resources Director is the Designated Employer Representative (DER) and shall be responsible for overseeing compliance and implementation of this City's DOT Controlled Substance and Alcohol Testing Program. 37 H/PSNULABOR/DCEA-MISC. MOU.2018-2021,.04-24-18 3. Consequences of a Positive Controlled Substance and/or Alcohol Test. A covered employee who tests positive for a controlled substance and/or alcohol may be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination from employment. 4. As a result of a positive controlled substance and/or alcohol random test, a temporary non -safety sensitive job assignment for an employee who is removed from the performance of safety sensitive duties or who is restricted from driving non-commercial City vehicles, may be approved by the department head based on the availability of meaningful work to meet operational need. 5. An employee must use accrued leave time or request personal leave of absence without pay if time off from work is necessary for any treatment or rehabilitation program. The costs of rehabilitation or treatment services, whether or not covered by the employee's medical plan, are the ultimate responsibility of the employee. 6. The cost of a split specimen under a random test shall be paid by the City or reimbursed to the employee on a negative result only. The cost of a controlled substance and/or alcohol test under follow-up testing is the responsibility of the employee. Section 3. Labor -Management Committee. Representatives of the Association and management shall meet on a quarterly basis for purposes of improving communication" and resolving labor relations matters. Agendas shall be agreed upon in advance, with both parties having equal opportunity to submit items. Any matter agreed upon by both parties may be discussed; but discussion does not constitute waiver of access to the grievance process. Chairmanship of the committee shall be alternated among the parties. During the term of this Agreement, the City agrees to discuss with the Association the following items: a. The feasibility of implementing a "4/10" work schedule. b. No -cost employee wellness ideas. Section 4. Transfer Rights. The City agrees that if an employee's current supervisor or department head does not approve an employee's transfer to another department who has offered thatemployeea position, the employee may appeal the decision to the Personnel Director. Section 5. Rest Periods/Breaks. The City Manager hereby authorizes department heads to permit their employees to take brief rest periods during any working day at such times and of such duration as will result in an increase in their work output and thus promote efficiency. Rest periods shall not exceed fifteen minutes per break and nor shall exceed two breaks per workday. No such rest period shall be taken during the first or last hour of any employee's working period. The taking of rest periods is hereby declared to be_a matter of privilege and not of right. Supervisors shall have the right to schedule rest periods to maximize the efficiency of their operations. Any rest period not taken at the time permitted shall be deemed waived and shall not be accumulated or carried over from one work period to any subsequent work period, or compensated in any form. 38 H/PSNL/LABOR/DCEA MISC.MOU.2018-2021.04-24-18 Section 6. State Disability Insurance. As "soon as practicable, the 'City agrees to provide the Association with information regarding the cost and steps to implement employee paid State Disability Insurance Coverage. The City and the Association agree that the City is not obligated to implement such coverage. ARTICLE XXIV • •- r •1 r Zr Section 1.

This Agreement is not intended to conflict with federal or state law. Section 2.

ARTICLE XXV During the term of this Agreement, the parties mutually agree that they will not seek to negotiate or bargain with -regard -to wages, hours, and terms and conditions of employment, whether or not covered by this Agreement or in the negotiations leading thereto and irrespective of whether or not such matters were discussed or were even within the contemplation of the parties hereto during the negotiations leading to this Agreement.
