The remaining balance shall be converted into an equivalent number of days. (NOTE: A day is equivalent to 12 hours for employees on a 56 -hour week schedule and 8 hours for an employee on a 40 -hour week schedule). The number of days shall be multiplied by the then current monthly premium being paid by the City for the employee and if applicable his dependents, subject to the cap shown in Article XXII. 50% of that dollar value shall be placed into a "bank" to be used for medical, dental and vision insurance premiums for the employee and dependent. For each year that an employee has been employed in excess of 10 years, 2 1/2% shall be added to the 50% before valuing the unused sick leave, not to exceed 100% of that dollar value. For example: Robert Smith retires with 20 years of service and 1800 hours of unused sick leave. City paid monthly medical insurance premiums are $344.45 for him and his wife. 1800-(1800 x 16 2/3) = 1500 hours 1500+12 = 125 days x 75% = 93.75 93.75 x $344.45= $ 32,292.19 This amount shall be reduced each month by the current premium(s) for the employee and dependent until the balance is gone. In the event the retiree dies the remaining bank shall be reduced by 50% and the survivor may use the bank until the balance is gone. 15 MOU - CITY OF LODI AND LPF 2015-2017 24.2 In the event an active employee dies before retirement and that employee is vested in the sick leave conversion program, the surviving dependents shall have an interest in one-half the value of the bank as calculated in Section 24.1. 24.3 Represented employees who retire on a service retirement and are eligible to convert accrued, unused sick leave into City paid insurance upon retirement shall be given the option of purchasing, at the retiree's cost, additional insurance for a period of time equal to the period of time for which they received City paid insurance upon retirement. Employee's option shall be exercised upon expiration of the City paid coverage. 24.4 In accordance with the sick leave conversion provision outlined in this MOU, a surviving spouse of either an active or retired member may be continued on the medical insurance plan and/or dependent coverage at the appropriate premium for the same period as if the employee had not died. 24.5 An employee eligible for the sick leave conversion program defined in Section 24.1 may choose instead to receive a cash settlement for all or part of 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. 24.6 Out of area retirees may receive reimbursement for insurance premiums up to the City's liability as specified in Section 24.1. 24.7 The City shall modify its contract with PERS to add credit for unused sick leave per Government Code Section 20862.8. 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 December 6, 1995.

For purposes of the FLSA, it is mutually understood the City has declared a 24 day work cycle. For purposes of overtime calculations under the FLSA, sick leave, vacation leave, compensatory time, and holiday leave will be considered time worked. 27.2 If an employee assigned to a 56 -hour work week schedule terminates his/her employment in the middle of a two week payroll cycle, the employee's pay for that cycle shall be computed by multiplying the number of days between the first day of the payroll cycle and the last shift worked by eight (8) hours or the number of actually worked in that payroll cycle, whichever is greater. 27. 3 It is agreed that the work schedule of the Fire Inspector and the Administrative Captain is a 40 -hour week and that all holiday, vacation, and sick leave benefits are based on a 40 -hour week rather than a 56 -hour week. 27.4 Effective May 25, 2015, the following formulas will be used in order to convert all accrued leave hours for employees that move from a 40 -hour work week to a 56 - hour work week or from a 56 -hour work week to a 40 -hour work week: For conversion from 40 to 56 hours Multiply by 1.4 For conversion from 56 to 40 hours Multiply by 0.7143 Thereafter, accruals shall be earned based on the assigned work schedule.

This recognition does not preclude the LPF from discussing with the City the LPF's point of view as it relates to the timeliness and necessity of promotions. The merits of each promotion should be discussed by both parties with the intent of reaching an understanding. It is the LPF's contention that economics is one component and should not be the sole deciding factor when determining whether to promote or not. It is through joint discussions that the City and the LPF believe resolution can be found. ARTICLE XXXI — COMPLETE AGREEMENT 31.1 The parties acknowledge that during the negotiations which resulted in this MOU, each had the unlimited right and opportunity to make demands and proposals with respect to any subject or matter not removed by law from the scope of negotiations, and that the understandings and agreements arrived at by the parties after the exercise of that right and opportunity are set forth in the MOU. Any other prior existing understanding or agreements by the parties, whether formal or informal, regarding any such matters are hereby superseded or terminated in their entirety. 21 MOU - CITY OF LODI AND LPF 2015-2017 31.2 Per the Side Letter signed on May 20, 2004: Except as required by operational/or business necessity impacting City employees as a whole, there shall be no changes to the Rules for Personnel Administration during the term of this MOU. This does not prevent the parties from mutually agreeing to meet and confer over proposed changes to the Rules during the term of this MOU. ARTICLE XXXII - CONCERTED ACTIVITIES 32.1 Represented employees agree that they shall not strike, withhold services, engage in "slowdowns" or "sick ins" or participate in any other form of concerted activity which is intended to or which does adversely affect job performance or rendering of City services. ARTICLE XXXIII - EMPLOYEE REPRESENTATION 33.1 This Memorandum of Understanding (hereinafter referred to as "MOU") is entered into between representatives of the City of Lodi (hereinafter referred to as "City") and representatives of the Lodi Professional Firefighters (hereinafter referred to as "LPF"). The parties to this MOU acknowledge and agree that this MOU constitutes the result of meeting and conferring in good faith as contemplated by Section 3500 et seq. of the Government Code of the State of California, and further acknowledge and agree that all matters upon which the parties reached agreement are set forth in this MOU. The terms and conditions of this MOU are applicable to those employees in those positions represented by the LPF of the City of Lodi, i.e., Firefighter I, Firefighter II, Fire Engineer, Fire Captain, and Fire Inspector. It is mutually agreed that wages, hours, and other terms and conditions of employment of such employees shall be as hereinafter set forth. Except as specifically stated in this Memorandum, all existing benefits currently being furnished to employees and all existing terms and conditions of employment are to continue in effect unless and until the parties meet and confer regarding a change in such existing benefits, terns or conditions of employment. The terms and conditions of this MOU shall continue in effect during the term of this MOU. 33.2 The City and the LPF mutually agree that the City shall grant dues deduction to City employees who are members of the LPF in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in Section 4, Rule 2 of City of Lodi Resolution No. 3344 entitled "Adopting Rules and Regulations to Implement Provisions of the Employee -Employer Relations Resolution."

In addition, the LPF shall refund to the City of Lodi any amounts paid to it in error upon presentation of supporting evidence. 22 MOU - CITY OF LODI AND LPF 2015-2017 Changes in the LPF membership dues rate shall be certified to the City, in writing, over the signature of the LPF President. The change shall be implemented as soon as practicable, but in no event later than thirty (30) days after the notification. 33.3 LPF shall maintain exclusive representation rights during the term of this MOU. Every employee covered by this MOU who is a member of LPF twenty (20) days after the signing of this MOU shall, as a condition of employment, maintain his or her membership in good standing in accordance with the Constitution and Bylaws of the LPF during the term of this agreement. 33.4 No employee covered by this Memorandum of Understanding shall be discriminated against by the City or by the Union with respect to any job benefits or other conditions of employment accruing from this agreement because of union membership, non -membership in the union, race, color, sex, creed, national origin, marital status, disability or political affiliation. It is understood that violations of this section are not subject to arbitration. 33.5 The City shall make available a period of one hour to the LPF in each recruit class with an end toward education of each employee of the rights and benefits under the collective bargaining agreement, as well as other association benefits, and the responsibilities of the employee and the association. 33.6 The City and LPF agree and understand that if any section of this MOU in any way conflicts with the terms and conditions of employment stated in other authorities, such as personnel rules, administrative policy and procedure manual, city resolutions, or city ordinances, any ambiguity shall be resolved in favor of the MOU language. If the MOU is silent on an issue, the current applicable document (i.e. policy manual) is controlling. 33.7 Beginning January 1, 2014, and each January 1 thereafter, the Lodi Professional Firefighters Association will notify the City of the hours to be deducted from each member's last pay check in February (not to exceed 10 hours annually) for the Union Leave Bank. The hours will be deducted from the employee's holiday leave bank. Requests to use another leave bank must be submitted to payroll two (2) weeks prior to the deduction date. Union Leave Bank hours may not exceed more than 600 hours on a yearly basis. The President of the Lodi Professional Firefighters shall designate members that can use the hours. Hours may be donated from member's vacation leave, holiday leave or compensatory time off. The Union Leave Bank shall be charged an equivalent amount of time required to cover the absence of the member utilizing the LPF bank, including any overtime required to cover the shift. 23 MOU - CITY OF LODI AND LPF 2015-2017 ARTICLE XXXIV - GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE 34.1 This grievance procedure shall be used to process and resolve disputes regarding the interpretation or application of any of the terms and conditions of this MOU, letters of understanding, and formal interpretations and clarifications executed by the LPF and the City. The intent of this procedure is to resolve grievances informally at the lowest possible level and to provide an orderly procedure for reviewing and resolving grievances promptly. The term "day" means a working day i.e. Monday through Friday excluding fixed City Hall closures. A grievance is a good faith complaint of one or a group of employees or a dispute between the City and the LPF involving the interpretation, application, or enforcement of the express terms of this MOU and other express written terms and conditions of employment or clear past practices. As used in this procedure, the term "party" means an employee, the LPF, the City or the authorized representatives of any party. The employee is entitled to representation through all the steps in this procedure. Matters of discipline are to be handled exclusively in accordance with the provisions of section 34.4. 34.2 INFORMAL PROCEDURE The informal procedure must be used as an initial step in all grievances. An employee or their representative having a grievance arising from employment in the municipal service shall seek adjustment of the grievance initially through verbal contact with their immediate supervisor within twenty (20) working days of the date of the action being grieved, or the date the grieving party became aware of the incident which is the basis of the grievance. The employee or his/her representative shall state the nature of the grievance and any pertinent information required for the supervisor to sufficiently investigate the incident and resolve the grievance. Should the immediate supervisor be unable to make a satisfactory adjustment, the employee or their representative may seek adjustment through verbal contact to the next higher level of supervision up to and including the Fire Chief. The time allowed between steps in this process is ten (10) working days. All verbal contacts shall be documented as to the date, time and place of the contact. In matters involving disputes between two employees (including personality conflicts between and employee and his/her supervisor), the two employees should meet in an attempt to resolve their differences. If they cannot resolve the issues between themselves, the complaint procedure outlined in the Lodi Fire Department Policy Manual shall be used as the Informal Grievance Procedure. 24 MOU - CITY OF LODI AND LPF 2015-2017 Should the employee progress through the above steps and find that the Fire Chief is unable to make a satisfactory adjustment within the time frame given, or is a party to the grievance, the employee or his representative may seek adjustment through the Formal Grievance Procedure. 34.3 FORMAL PROCEDURE An employee who has not received satisfactory adjustment through the use of the Informal Grievance Procedure may, within ten (10) working days of the last time deadline of the Informal Procedure, file a Formal Grievance. Initiation of the formal grievance procedure requires that the grievance be submitted in writing. The steps of the Formal Grievance Procedure are as follows: Step A. Class Action Grievances or a Lodi Fire Department Grievance Form is filed with the Fire Chief. If satisfactory adjustment is not attained the employee or his/her representative may proceed to Step B within ten (10) working days. Step B. Class Action Grievances or A Lodi Fire Department Grievance Form is filed with the City Manager. The City Manager or designee shall investigate the grievance and shall respond in writing within ten (10) working days. If satisfactory adjustment is not attained the employee or his representative may proceed to Step C within ten (10) working days. Step C If the grievance is not resolved by the City Manager or designee, arbitration shall be the final level of appeal for grievances and discipline. It is agreed by both parties that the decision of the arbitrator is binding and final on both parties and that if this procedure is utilized all other avenues of appeal are waived. If arbitration is chosen the City must be notified by the grievant or his/her representative within fifteen (15) working days following the City Manager's decision. Within ten (10) working days after the request for arbitration is received by the City or at a date mutually agreed to by the parties, the parties shall meet to select an impartial arbitrator. If no agreement is reached at this meeting, the parties shall immediately and jointly request the State Conciliation and Mediation Service to submit to them a panel of five (5) arbitrators from which the City and the LPF shall alternately strike names until one (1) name remains; this person shall be the arbitrator. If the State Conciliation and Mediation Service cannot provide a list of five (5) arbitrators, the same request shall be made of the American Arbitration Association. To insure that the arbitration process is as brief and economical as possible, the following guidelines shall be adhered to: 25 MOU - CITY OF LODI AND LPF 2015-2017 1. An arbitrator may, upon mutual consent of the parties, issue a decision, opinion or award orally upon submission of the arbitration. 2. Both parties and the arbitrator may tape record the hearing. 3. There shall be no official transcript required; however, either party may utilize a court reporter at its own sole expense. The cost of a court reporter required by an arbitrator shall be shared equally by the parties. 4. The parties may agree to prepare a joint letter submitting the issue(s) in dispute. The letter shall present the matter on which arbitration is sought and shall outline the MOU provisions governing the arbitration. It may contain mutually agreed on stipulations of fact and it may be accompanied by any documents that the parties mutually agree shall be submitted to the arbitrator in advance of the hearing which may not necessarily be stipulations of fact. Further, if the parties mutually agree, the entire matter may be submitted to arbitration for review without a hearing. Absent agreement to prepare a joint letter, the parties may submit separate letters. 5. The strict rules of evidence are not applicable but shall be of a type or kind relied upon by prudent people in the conduct of serious business and the hearing shall be informal. 6. The parties have the right to present and cross examine witnesses issue opening and closing statements, and file written closing briefs. Testimony shall be under oath or affirmation. 7. The arbitrator may exclude testimony or evidence which he/she determines irrelevant or unduly repetitious. 8. The arbitrator may exclude witnesses and observers from the hearing at his or her discretion. 9. The arbitration hearing shall be held on the employer's premises. 10. The cost of arbitration shall be borne equally by the parties. However, the cost, if any, of cancellation or postponement shall be the financial responsibility of the party requesting such delay unless mutually agreed by the parties. The decision, opinion, or award shall be based on the record developed by the parties before and during the hearing, unless otherwise agreed to by the parties. The decision shall be in writing and shall contain the crucial reasons supporting the decision and award. 26 MOU - CITY OF LODI AND LPF 2015-2017 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 the MOU. The arbitrator shall be without power or authority to make any decision that requires the City or management to do an act prohibited by law. The arbitrator has no power to add to a disciplinary action. The arbitrator's decision shall be final, binding, and precedential and the arbitrator's decision shall possess the authority to make an employee whole to the extent such remedy is not limited by law, including the authority to award back pay, reinstatement, and to issue an order to expunge the record of all references to a disciplinary action if appropriate. If the City believes that the matter is not arbitrable and/or not grievable, the matter shall be bifurcated. The parties shall select an arbitrator to hear the issue of arbitrability only. In the event that the arbitrator determines the matter to be arbitrable, the parties shall select a second arbitrator to hear the merits of the case. By filing a grievance and processing it beyond the City Manager the grievant expressly waives any right to statutory remedies for the same contract remedies that were available through arbitration or to the exercise of any legal process other than is provided by the grievance/arbitration procedure for those contractual remedies under this contract. The process in a grievance beyond the City Manager shall constitute an express election on the part of the grievant that the arbitration procedure is the chosen forum for resolving the issues contained in the grievance, and that the grievant shall not resort to any other forum or procedure for resolution or review of the issues. The parties do not intend by the provisions of these paragraphs to preclude the enforcement of any arbitration award in any court of competent jurisdiction. Allegedly discriminatory acts by the city may be addressed through the judicial system, DFEH, EEOC, and/or the City's internal complaint procedure system as provided by law. Allegedly discriminatory acts are not subject to this procedure. 34.4 GRIEVANCE INVOLVING A DISCIPLINARY ACTION This section sets forth the exclusive means for grieving disciplinary actions in the form of a written reprimand, demotion, suspension or dismissal. In the event the 27 MOU - CITY OF LODI AND LPF 2015-2017 employee wishes to challenge the City Manager's final decision on such discipline, the employee shall appeal the decision to binding arbitration, commencing with Step C of Article 34.3 of this MOU. All other, lesser forms of discipline shall be reviewable by the Fire Chief without a further right of appeal. ARTICLE XXXV - LAYOFF PROCEDURE 35.1 It is mutually agreed by both parties that the layoff procedure, incorporated in the Policy and Procedure manual, dated May 1, 1995 is included in this MOU by reference and it is further agreed that both parties interpret it to mean that time served in a higher level shall be counted at a lower level for purposes of determining order of layoff. ARTICLE XXXVI - PHYSICAL FITNESS 36.1 It is agreed that the physical fitness program shall be continued and shall meet the following goals: Provide a complete physical examination on an annual basis. These examinations to be performed by professional medical staff contracted for by the City. 2. Provide a fitness assessment which will evaluate each individual employee's fitness as compared to the YMCA normative scores which are defined as: "a percentage based on fitness evaluations perfor ed by the YMCA and are categorized according to age group and sex."
