however, that if any such employee continues to work into their regular work hours, the
employee shall be paid overtime compensation only for actual work time up to their
regular work hours.

adequately rested for their assigned work shift. In the event a supervisor or Watch
Commander deems it necessary for an employee to work through their rest period, the

only be made to address extenuating circumstances and will be evaluated on a case
by case basis. The decision to grant or deny said requests is at the sole discretion of
the Chief of Police.
2.10 Communications Center Staffing - When staffing shortages occur in the
Communications Center due to unforeseen or exigent circumstances, Dispatcher/Jailers

from working overtime shifts.

updated work schedule maintained by the Services Division Supervisor and Patrol

staffing shortages unless conditions exist which require a total departmental call -out.

to work on the vacation days or adjacent regular days off unless exigent

the employee, LPDA, or their representative may seek adjustment through either
verbal or written contact to the next higher level of supervision up to and including
the Chief of Police who shall render a decision in writing within ten (10) working
days of hearing the appeal. 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

within the timeframe given, or is a party to the issue, the employee, LPDA, or their
representative may seek adjustment through the formal grievance procedure. Any
decision by City at this step shall be a written decision rendered within ten (10)
working days of hearing the appeal.
28.3 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. The steps of the Formal
Grievance Procedure are as follows:
STEP A
Class action grievances are filed, in writing, with the City Manager and can only be
made by the LPDA president or representative upon the authority of the LPDA.
Grievances that affect individual employees may be filed, in writing, with the City
Manager by the affected employee, the LPDA, or their representative. The City
Manager shall investigate the grievance and shall respond in writing within ten (10)
working days. If satisfactory adjustment is not attained the employee, LPDA, or their
representative may proceed to Step B within ten (10) working days.
STEP B
The employee, LPDA, or their representative shall file an appeal of the City Manager's
decision to the City Clerk. Within fifteen (15) days of the receipt of the appeal, the City
Clerk shall begin the process of establishing a list of eligibles for a Personnel Board of
22

the City Clerk. The Personnel Board of Review has no power to add to, subtract from or
modify the terms or conditions of this MOU; nor, do they have any power to add a
greater form of disciplinary action than that which was originally grieved. Within
fifteen (15) days after the hearing, the Personnel Board of Review shall submit a written
statement of findings and directions to the City Manager, the employee, and the LPDA.
The directions of the Board shall be binding on all parties to the MOU.
The Personnel Board of Review shall be constituted as follows:

to the Personnel Board of Review to both parties. The criteria of qualifications are
the same as in Step One. If there are not seven (7) persons from the list each party
may select from the available names or ask the City Clerk to post for a vacancy(ies
). If there are more than seven (7) names, seven (7) names will be drawn by lot
which shall be witnessed by the parties chosen in Step One.
3) The two persons selected in Step One shall select a third member from the list,
either by agreement, lot, striking names, or any other means the two can agree upon.
28.4 Any employee shall have the right to appeal letters of reprimand and suspensions of
three (3) days or less through the chain of command up to the Police Chief or designee.
The decision of the Police Chief or designee is final and binding and not subject to
further appeal.
28.5 FAILURE TO MEET TIME REQUIREMENTS
Failure by either party to meet any of the aforementioned time limits shall result in the
following action:
Failure by an employee to take the initial grievance action within the twenty (20)
working days given in the Informal Grievance Procedure will result in forfeiture of the
grievance. Failure of management to meet any of the time limits set forth on any step in

next level of appeal. This action must be taken within ten (10) working days of the last
date of the time limit which management failed to meet.
