CEDAR RAPIDS -DES MDIDES

holiday credit on July 1. Officer B terminates November 1

prior to termination, therefore twenty-four (24) hours (40
used less 16 occurring) would be deducted from the last
week's wages.
If an officer works a full shift on a holiday, four (4) hours of
additional holiday credit will be given during the pay period in
Which the holiday occurs. If an officer works less than a full shift

Section 1. This Agreement shall be effective July 1, 1978, and
shall continue through June 30, 1979. Thereafter, this Agreement
shall continue from year to year unless written notice to change or
modify it is served by either party prior to September 15 of the year
preceding the expiration date of this Agreement or any extension
thereof.
ARTICLE XXVIII

ARTICLE XXIX
COST OF LIVING
Section 1. There will be a cost of living allowance if and when
and to the extent the cost of living exceeds seven percent (7%)
21
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS•DES MOIRES
during the contract year. The method and basis for computing the
allowance will be as follows:
a. All computations will be based on changes in the revised
Consumer Price Index (CPI -W) published by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics, U. S. Department of Labor, Urban and
Clerical Wage Earners, U. S. cities, 1967=100.
b. The base index month shall be May, 1979.
C. Cost of living computations will be made quarterly to
determine the percent difference between the CPI -W for the
base index month (May, 1979) and for August, 1979 -
November, 1979 -February, 1980 -May, 1980.
d. Quarterly cost of living allowance pay adjustments will be
made effective the first day of the month following the
month in which it is determined that the cost of living has
increased in excess of seven percent (7%). By way of
example: If the CPI -W for November, 1979 is issued by the
Bureau of Labor Statistics during December, 1979 and the
difference between the CPI -W for the basic index month
(May, 1979) and November, 1979 is eight and two tenths
percent (8.2%), then effective January 1, 1980, the salary
schedules set forth in Article XXVIII, Compensation, of
this Agreement will be increased one and two tenths
percent (1.2%) as a cost of living allowance. By the same
token, if subsequently the quarterly computations for
February, 1980 (assuming the February, 1980 CPI -W is
issued in March) shows the difference to be seven and four
tenths percent (7.4%), then the one and two tenths percent
(1.2%) cost of living allowance previously granted will be
reduced to four tenths percent (.4%) effective April 1,
1980. In the event the difference based on the May, 1980
quarterly computation were to be eight percent (8%), then
the cost of living allowance effective July 1, 1980 would
be one percent (1%).
Section 2. No cost of living adjustment will have the effect of
reducing the salary schedules set forth in Article XXVIII,
Compensation of this Agreement.
Section 3. Payment of cost of living allowances (adjustments)
will be to the extent permitted by the standards issued by the
Council on Wage and Price Stability or by law. In the event a
payment is questionable, the parties will jointly request a ruling
from the appropriate governmental agency.

ARTICLE XXVII
WAGES
Section 1. Beginning July 1, 1979, the base pay of each step for the Iowa
City Fire Department Fire Fighters, Lieutenants and Captains will be the base
pay rates set forth in the Contract currently in effect (July 1, 1978 through
June 30, 1979) plus the accrued cost of living adjustment's thereto through
April 1, 1979, multiplied by one hundred and seven percent (1.07). By way of
example: Assume a Fire Fighter at Step F and a two percent (2%) cost of living
adjustment as a result of the last cost of living adjustment on April 1, 1979.
The Step F monthly salary is $1,157 plus two percent (2%) or $1,180. Effective
July 1, 1979 the Step F monthly salary (pay rate) would be $1,263 ($1,180 times
1.07%).
ARTICLE XXVIII
OTHER COMPENSATION
Section 1. There will be a cost of living allowance if and when and to the
extent the cost of living exceeds seven percent (7%) during the contract year.
The method and basis for computing the allowance will be as follows:
MICROFILMED BY
JORM MICROLAB
CEDAR RAPIDS -DES n01NEs
18
a. All computations will be based on changes in the revised Consumer
Price Index (CPI -W) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S.
Department of Labor, Urban and Clerical Wage Earners, U.S. cities,
1967=100.
b. The base index month shall be May, 1979.
C. Cost of living computations will be made quarterly to determine the
percent difference between the CPI -W for the base index month (May,
1979) and for August, 1979 -November, 1979 -February, 1980 -May, 1980.
d. Quarterly cost of living allowance pay adjustments will be made
effective the first day of the month following the month in which it
is determined that the cost of living has increased in excess of seven
percent (3). By way of example: If the CPI -W for November, 1979 is
issued by the Bureau of Labor Statistics during December, 1979 and the
difference between the CPI -W for the basic index month (May, 1979) and
November, 1979 is eight and two tenths percent (8.2%), then effective
January 1, 1980 the salary schedules set forth in Article XXVIII,
Compensation, of this Agreement will be increased one and two tenths
percent (1.2%) as a cost of living allowance. By the same token, if
subsequently the quarterly computations for February, 1980 (assuming
the February, 1980 CPI -W is issued in March)'shows the difference to
be seven and four tenths percent (7.4%), then the one and two tenths
percent (1.2%) cost of living allowance previously granted will be
reduced to four tenths percent (.4%) effective April 1, 1980. In the
event the difference based on the May, 1980 quarterly computation were
to be eight percent (8%), then the cost of living allowance effective
July 1, 1980 would be one percent (3).
e. No cost of living adjustment will have the effect of reducing the
salary schedules set forth in Article XXVIII, Compensation of this
Agreement.
Payment of cost of living allowance (adjustments) will be to the
extent permitted by the standards issued by the Council on Wage and
Price Stability or by law. In the event a payment is questionable,
the parties will jointly request a ruling from the appropriate
governmental agency.
Section 2. Lon evit Pa . A payment will be made to permanent full time
employees as of December 1979, to reflect years of service with the City
according to the following schedule:
Length of Service on December
b years
1 day - 10 years

1 day - 15 years
225.00

This payment will be prorated on the basis of monthly segments for members who
retire before December 1 in any fiscal year. Any employee who terminates after
December 1 will reimburse the City on the same proration.
In addition, a payment of $300 will be made to each permanent full time
bargaining unit employee as of December 1, 1979. In the event that an employee
terminates for any reason after December 1, 1979, he/she will reimburse the City

payment. This payment will be compensable if allowed by Chapter 410 or 411.
