After ten years of employment with the City, 50% of the represented employee's unused
sick leave shall be converted to months of medical insurance as adjusted herein. For each
year that an employee has been employed by the City in excess of ten years, the
employee shall be entitled to add 2.5% to the 50% before converting the unused sick
leave to months of insurance.
EXAMPLE
Robert Smith retirees with 20 years of service and 1800 hours of unused sick leave.
1800 - 8 x 75% - 12 = 14.06 years of coverage
The amount of the premium paid shall be the same as the premium paid by the City at the
time of retirement. Any differences created by an increase in premiums must be paid for
by the employee.
In the event the retiree dies the surviving dependent(s) may purchase medical insurance
for the same period as if the employee had not died.
Option #2 —Bank
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 dependent(s). For each year that an employee
has been employed in excess of 10 years, 2.5% will be added to the 50% before valuing
the size of the bank. Each hour of sick leave is valued at $20.00.
EXAMPLE
Robert Smith retires with 20 years of service and 1800 hours of unused sick leave
(multiplication factor - $20.00).
1800 x .75 x 20.00 = $27,000.00
This amount will be reduced each month by the current premium for the employee and
dependent(s) until the balance in gone.
In the event the retiree dies the remaining bank will be reduced by 50% and the surviving
dependent(s) may use the bank until the balance is gone.

of retirement shall be converted to dollars at the employee's current rate of pay.
26.2 In the event an active employee dies before retirement and that employee is
vested in the sick leave conversion program, the surviving spouse will have an
interest in one-half the value of the Bank option as calculated in section 26.1.

35.1 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, formal interpretations and clarifications executed by the
ALCE 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.
A grievance is a good faith complaint of one or a group of employees or a dispute
between the City and the ALCE involving the interpretation, application or
enforcement of the express terms of the MOU and other terms and conditions of
employment and matter of discipline which includes demotion, suspension or
discharge.
As used in procedure, the term "PARTY" means an employee, the ALCE, the

Procedures established herein:

employee.
(c) Disputes as to whether a matter is proper subject for the Grievance
Procedure.
(d) Disputes which may be of a "class action" nature filed on behalf of
the ALCE or the City. Class action grievances shall be in writing
from the ALCE to the City Manager or vice versa.
35.3 STEP ONE: Discussion between the employee and/or the employee's
representative, and the division head or designated supervisor directly involved,
who shall answer within fifteen (15) work days. This step shall be taken within
thirty (30) work days of the date of the action complained of, or the date the
Grievant became aware of the incident which is the basis of the Grievance.
35.4 STEP TWO: If a grievance is not resolved in the initial step, a written statement
signed by the Grievant shall be presented to the department head which shall
include the action being grieved and the desired remedy. A discussion shall then
take place between the employee, his or her representative, and the department
head, who shall answer in writing within fifteen (15) work days. This Step shall
be taken within fifteen (15) work days of the date the department head receives
the written statement.
35.5 STEP THREE: If a Grievance is not resolved in STEP TWO, STEP THREE shall
be the presentation of the Grievance, in writing, by the employee or his or her
representative to the City Manager, who shall answer in writing within fifteen
(15) work days of receipt of the Grievance. This Step shall be initiated within
fifteen (15) work days of the date of the answer in STEP TWO.
35.6 STEP FOUR: If the Grievance is not resolved by the City Manager, 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 within fifteen (15) work days of 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 arbitrators from which the City and the
ALCE shall alternately strike names until one name remains; this person shall be
the arbitrator. If the State Conciliation and Mediation Service cannot provide a
list of five arbitrators, the same request shall be made of the American Arbitration
Association.

opinion or award orally upon submission of the arbitration.
b. Both parties and the arbitrator may tape record the hearing.

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.

dispute. The letter shall present the matter on which arbitration is sought
and shall outline the MOU provisions governing the arbitration. It may

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.

informal.
f. 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.
g. The arbitrator may exclude testimony or evidence which he/she
determines irrelevant or unduly repetitious.
h. Attendance at a hearing shall be limited to those determined by the
arbitrator to have a direct connection with the appeal. Witnesses normally
would be present at the hearing only while testifying and should be
permitted to testify only in the presence of the employee or his/her
representative and the employer's representative.
i. The arbitration hearing will be held on the employer's premises.
j. 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.
26
MOU - CITY OF LODI AND ALCE
GENERAL SERVICES UNIT
2003-2005
The decision, opinion, or award shall be based on the record developed by

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.
35.7 Failure by either party to meet any of the aforementioned time limits as set forth
in Sections 35.3, 35.4, 35.5, or 35.6 shall result in forfeiture by the failing party.
Except, however, that the aforementioned time limits may be extended by mutual
agreement. Grievances settled by forfeiture shall not bind either party to an
interpretation of this MOU, nor shall such settlements be cited by either party as
evidence in the settlement of subsequent grievances.

Procedure.
