The decision will be in writing and it shall contain the crucial reasons supporting the decision and award. The arbitrator has no power to add to, subtract from, or modify the terms of the MOU or the written ordinances, resolutions, rules, regulations, and procedures of the City, nor shall he/she impose any limitations or obligations not specifically provided for under the terms of this MOU.

By filing a grievance and processing it beyond Step Four, the grievant expressly waives any right to statutory remedies or to the exercise of any legal process other than is provided by this grievance/arbitration procedure. The processing of a grievance beyond Step Four shall constitute an express election on the part of the grievant that the grievance/arbitration procedure is the chosen forum for resolving the issues contained in the grievance, and that the grievant will not resort to any other forum or procedure for resolution or review of the issues. The parties do not intend by the provisions of this paragraph to preclude the enforcement of any arbitration award in any court of competent jurisdiction. 2:S Failure by either party to meet the aforementioned time limits will result in forfeiture by the failing party.

ARTICLE VII - SICK LEAVE CONVERSION 7.1 This section applies to all employees hired prior to October 10,_ 1.994:_*' -e e ewe date ef this eentfaet. For all unused sick leave, a represented employee with ten years of employment with the City shall receive medical insurance coverage upon retirement (but not upon resignation or termination) on the following basis: Fifty percent (50%) of the dollar value of sick leave will be placed into a "bank" to be used for medical insurance premiums for the employee and dependents. For each year that an employee has been employed in excess of 10 years, two and one-half percent (2.5%) will be added to the fifty percent (50%) for valuing the size of the bank. For example: Officer Smith retires with 20 years of service and 1800 hours of sick leave. His/her monthly salary is $3,412,47 ($19.61 per hour). 1800 X .75 x S 19.61 = $24,473.50 This amount will be reduced each month by the current premium for the employee and dependent until the balance is gone. In the event the retiree dies the remaining bank will be reduced by fifty percent (50%) and the survivor may use the bank until the balance is gone or may cash out the remaining balance. 7.2 In the event an active employee dies before retirement and that employee is vested in the sick leave conversion prograrn (10 years) the surviving dependents have an interest in one- half the value of the bank as calculated in Section 7.1. 13 Draft 4 September 4, 1996 CITY OF LODI AND PuLICE OFFICERS' ASSOCIATION OF LODI - MOU - 1996-1999 7.3 In accordance with the sick leave conversion provisions, a surviving spouse may at his/her own expense continue medical insurance at the employee only premium for the same period as if the employee had not died. 7.4 A retired employee may choose to receive a cash settlement for unused sick leave at the rate of $.30 on the dollar. Under this provision, the employee's sick leave balance at the time of retirement shall be converted to dollars at the employee's current pay rate. 7.5 Represented employees who retire on a service retirement shall have the option of purchasing, at the employee's cost, additional medical insurance sufficient to reach age 65. 7.6 Out of area retirees may receive reimbursement for medical insurance premiums up to the City's liability as specified in Section 7,-1_2 of this Article. 7.7 The-C-ity--a-gr-ees-lQ--rnod-ify--its-eentract---wit#-PERS--te-add-c;ed}t--for---unused--siek--leave-per- Govemment-Eede-Seetion-a-0969-r. Employees may. -elect_ to. -add_ -PERS --_credit for. -unused._ sick..leaye. per_,Government Code Section 20868.8. This benefit is available to all employees regardless of the date hired; however, it is the only sick leave conversion benefit available to employees hired after October 10, 1994.It is agreed that eight hours equals one day for purposes of determining days creditable. If an eligible employee opts to utilize the provisions of Section 7.1 the City will report they have zero hours of unused sick leave. ARTICLE X - MEDICAL INSURANCE 10.1 The City shall offer medical insurance equivalent to the Foundation Health Plan known as Summit V with a pharmaceutical plan included to members of this unit.
