to prevent the occurrence of grievances and to deal promptly with those which occur.
A. Procedures:
1. A written grievance must be taken to the Battalion Chief within
nine (9) calendar days following the occurrence of the problem by the
employee. If possible, the grievance should be settled at this level
through discussions with involved parties within three (3) calendar days
following the knowledge of the grievance by the Battalion Chief. The
employee may choose to be represented by a representative of the Union at
this step if the Union so agrees.
2. In the event Step 1 does not resolve the situation, the employee
and/or Union representative may forward the grievance in writing to the
Fire Chief within three (3) calendar days following Step 1. The written
documentation must include specific circumstances and state the remedial
action requested. The Fire Chief shall further investigate and document
the matter, and render a decision in writing within (3) working days of the
receipt of the request.
3. A grievance not settled at Step 2 shall be submitted to the City
manager within three (3) calendar days of the date of the receipt of the
-4 -
Fire Chief's written reply. The City Manager shall respond within five
(5) working days. .Within nine (9) days after the City Manager's reply,
if necessary, either party may request mediation through the Federal Media-
tion and Conciliation Service to facilitate resolution of a problem. Both
Parties agree to insure that topics and/or individuals discussed are to be
held in absolute confidence and that no disclosure will be made unless
announcements are mutually agreed upon.
4. Grievances not settled in Step 3 of the Grievance Procedure
shall be submitted to -third party neutral advisement in the form of
binding final -offer arbitration as a final recourse.
A request for artibration must be submitted by written notice to
the other party within fifteen (15) days following impasse at Step 3.
Expenses for arbitration shall be borne equally by both parties.
The arbitration proceeding shall be conducted by an arbitrator to be
selected by the Employer and the Union within seven (7) days after notice
has been given. If t)e parties fail to select an arbitrator, the Federal
Mediation and Conciliation Service shall be requested by either or both
parties to provide a panel of five (5) arbitrators. Both the Employer and
the Union shall have the right to strike two names from the panel. The
party requesting arbitration shall strike the first name; the other party
shall then strike one (1) name. The process will be repeated and the
remaining person shall be the arbitrator.
The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on the parties.
The arbitrator shall be requested to issue his decision within thirty (30)
days after the conclusion of testimony and argument.
The rules of conduct under which the arbitrator shall administer acti-
vities shall be pursuant to relevant state statutes (Senate File 531) as
may be modified by the Public Employee Relations Board, any subsequent legis-
lation, or any court decisions pertaining thereto.
Any grievance not appealed from a decision in one of the steps of the
Grievance Procedure, to the next step as prescribed, shall be considered
dropped and the last decision final and binding, except that time li=its may
be extended or advanced by mutual agreement of the parties. If the employer
is not able to respond to a grievance within the prescribed time limits, up
to and including Step 2, the grievance shall automatically progress to the
next step of the procedure.
In the event Management feels the Union has violated the terms and provisions
of this Agreement, Management.shall have the right to file a grievance against the
Union in the form of an unfair labor practice through the Public Employee Relations
Board. Management shall notify the Union nine (9) days prior to such action.
VI. HOLIDAYS - COMPENSATION
Since the nature of fire protection necessitates that firefighters on a
continuous shift work on holidays which are enjoyed by other City employees, and
the normal weekly hours of work are approximately 403 greater (56 versus 40 hours)
than those of other City emoloyees, Holiday time compensation shall be computed
as follows:
88 hours (eleven days a year)
X 1.40
123.20 or 123 hours a year
Holidays the City recognizes are as follows:
1. The first day of January (New Year's Day).
2.
The
third Monday
of February (Washington's Birthday).
3.
The
last Monday
in May (Memorial Day).
4. The fourth day of July (Independence Day).
5. The first Monday of September (Labor Day).
6. The fourth Monday in October (Veteran's Day).
7. The fourth Thursday in November (Thanksgiving Day).
8. The day after Thanksgiving.
9. The twenty-fifth day of December (Christmas Day).
10. One Personal Leave Day.
Employees, with the approval of the Department Head, shall also choose the day
before or after Christmas, or the day before or after New Years Day as an additional
holiday. If the employee wishes a different day between Christmas and New Years,
he/she may select it with the approval of the Department Head.

VIII. SICK LEAVE
Firefighters on a continuous shift shall earn six hours of sick leave per
pay period and have the right to accumulate a maximum 2,160 hours (90 duty shifts).
The City will compensate the employee for fifty (50) per cent of all accrued sick
leave upon termination, provided the employee has served more than one continuous
year.
IX. ON--THE-JOB INJURY LEAVE
In the event a permanent full-time employee is injured or disabled on the job,
and if the injury or illness is deemed compensable pursuant to City of Iowa City
Fire Pension Board regulations, or any related legislation, and if the City's medical
advisor determines that time off from work is required, no deductions shall be made
from the employee's sick leave or vacation accumulations for a period not to exceed
two (2) full working shifts plus the time remaining in the shift on which she/he was
injured. If the disabled employee requires more than the two (2) work shift period
in which to recuperate and return to work, the employee may be subject to normal sick
leave and, if necessary, the leave of absence provisions until such time as a tempor-
ary pension is determined by the Fire Pension Board.
X. SPECIAL LEAVES
A. Funerals. Employees will be granted up to three days leave per incident with
no loss of compensation nor loss of accrual from Sick, Annual nor Compensatory time
to attend the funeral of his or her spouse, children, mother, father, stepparents,
sister, brother, mother-in-law, father-in-law, grandparents, aunt or uncle, brother-
in-law, sister-in-law, habitual member of the immediate household permanently having
resided under the same roof, or for a military funeral in which such employee is an
official participant. If additional time is needed sick leave may be used to maximum
of three days with the Department Head's approval.
B. Leaves of Absence Without Pay. A leave of absence without pay is a predetermined
amount of time off from work, which has been recommended by the employee's Department
Head and approved by the City Manager. Such leave shall not extend beyond twelve months,
but may be extended with the written approval of the City Manager. With the exception
of maternity and military leaves, the fact that such a leave is possible does not mean
that the requested leave must be granted. A Leave of Absence deprives the employees
department of the services of an employee, who it is assumed is needed if the department
is to properly do its job. Leaves of Absences Without Pay, except in the case of
disciplinary leaves, should be considered as a privilege and the best interests of
the department and the City service must be the determining factors in whether such
leaves are granted or not. When an employee is granted a Leave of Absence Without
Pay, the Department Head commits himself/herself to allowing the employee to return
to work at the end of the leave to the same duties that the employee was performing
when he/she went on leave. The Employee will return to the same step within the pay
range that he/she was on at the time of commencement of the unpaid leave. The pay
range to which the employee returns will be that prevailing at the time of return to
work for the employee's position within the current classification. Any substitutes
hired to fill in for employees on Leaves of Absence Without pay, should be hired
accordingly.
When granted a Leave of Absence Without Pay, the employee commits himself to
returning to work at the end of the Leave. Failure to contact the Department Head
or the Personnel Director at the end of the leave shall be grounds for labeling
the separation from City service a dismissal.
During a leave of absence without pay, the employee:
a. Does not receive pay from the City.
b. Does not earn Vacation nor Sick leave.
C. Must utilize all accumulated vacation and compensatory leaves until
they expire, except in case of disciplinary action when such leaves
may not be used to offset the action.
d. Has no time deducted from Sick leave, except in cases of on the job
injury or other incapacitation, in which case Sick leave may be used
until accruals are exhausted.
e. Cannot pay retirement contributions if the leave exceeds one month in
duration.
f. Must pay group hospitalization premiums falling due during any month
the employee is not on the payroll.
g. Must pay premiums for coverage under the group life insurance plan.
h_ Shall not receive any other benefits during the period of absence.
C: Voting Time.
If an employee is required andin fact works during hours that would make it
impossible to vote in National, State, or local elections, sufficient time to
vote will be provided for this purpose.
D. Military Leave.
All officials and employees of the City, other than temporary employees, who are
members of the National Guard, organized reserves, or any component part of tt:e military,
authority to active state or federal service, be entitled to a leave of absence
from such civil employment for the period of such acting state or federal service
without loss of status or seniority and without loss of pay during the first 30 days
of such leave of absence.
The City Manager may make a temporary appointment to fill any vacancy created
by such leave of absence.
Employees who have been in the Armed Services under military leave from the
City, shall upon reinstatement to City employment maintain the original employment
date for purpose of calculating seniority and eligibility for salary adjustment
consideration, the same as though the time spent in the military service had been
spent in employment for the City, providing that such employee has received an
honorable separation from the Armed Service.
XI. RETENTION TIME
Employees who are required to work either in excess of their normal twenty-
four (24) hour duty shift or 240 hours in a 28 day period, shall be granted com-
pensation equal to one and one-half times the number of hours worked.
The City Manager shall review and approve all assigned overtime, and payment
for overtime shall be made on the next paycheck provided the conditions of service
make it impractical to grant compensatory time off. Compensatory time shall be
taken at such time as the Fire Chief shall determine it will not impair the func-
tions of the Department; and all compensatory time shall be used within the same pay
period it is earned.
Overtime shall be compensated at one and one-half times the amount of time
worked.
Overtime (that time in excess of normal work time) shall be recognized as that
defined by the Fair Labor Standards Act as it pertains to firefighters.
XII_ MINIMAL CALL-IN TIME
An employee who has left his or her normal place of work for their resi-
dence and is called back to work, shall be credited a minimum of two and one-half
(2'1) hours at the overtime rate, provided the employee has completed a normally
scheduled and assigned duty shift. It is understood that time actually worked in
excess of the first two and one-half (2�) hours will be added to the minimum provided
under this section.
XIII. INSURANCE
The Employer shall subscribe (at the employee's option) to a health care
insurance policy with major medical benefits for the employee on either a single or
family -plan pursuant to relevant policy procedures.
The above medical insurance is to be provided at no cost to full-time permanent
employees and.will be provided on a prorated basis to less than full-time permanent
employees.
The Employer shall also subscribe to a life insurance policy for the employee to
the next greater even thousand dollar amount over their annual salary.
XIV. FOOD ALLOWANCE
Fire Department employees shall be compensated $25.00 per month as a
food allowance.
XV. PAY PLAN
A. The classified positions and the pay ranges for all employees in the bargaining
unit affected by this Agreement are attached as Appendix A. This classification
and pay range will be moved upward five (5) per cent on January 1, 1976, and
each employee will be moved on a step for step basis.
B. It is agreed that beginning July 1, 1975, the City's compensation plan will pro-
vide a method by which the overall salary structure will remain current with
changing economic conditions that affect the income and wages of employees. This
method will involve a cost of living adjustment that will be made to the salary
plan in total. On July 1, 1975, the cost of living adjustment will be made to
the classification and pay range plan attached as Appendix A and each step and
each employee will benefit by the adjustment. A subsequent adjustment will be
made on July 1, 1976.
The cost of living adjustment will be carried out by using a three year moving
average of the annual percentage change in the consumer price index of the
Cedar Rapids - Iowa City metropolitan area. The three year moving average
adjustment will be made to the compensation plan on an annual basis at the
start of each new budget year on July 1st. The actual adjustment will be
determined at the end of the previous calendar year.
The three year moving average of the annual percentage change in the consumer
price index for the Cedar Rapids - Iowa City metropolitan area will be applied
as an adjustment to the mid -point of each salary range. The resulting dollar
amount will be then added to each step in the range. Each salary range would
remain approximately 25% to 27% in length between minimum and maximum salaries.
Both parties to this Agreement recognize that certain rules and procedures will.
be required for future negotiations.
A. Negotiating Teams
The City and the Union shall each be entitled to a negotiating team of
five (5) members at each session. The five members selected shall
constitute the negotiations team; however, subtitutions and or changes
can be made in the membership thereof with twenty-four hours notice. No
team is required to have its five members at each session. For all
sessions held during working hours, all Union members employed by the
City shall have time off subject to availability as determined by their
supervisor, but said time off should not be withheld unreasonably. One
(1) City employee member on the Union team shall receive regular wages
at each session held during working hours, the one (1) to be selected
by the union team at the beginning of each session.
B. Chief Negotiator
Each of the parties shall have a Chief Negotiator for their team. Said
Chief Negotiator so designated shall be in charge of each of the negotiating
teams and shall be responsible for the conduct of the negotiations of
his team as well as any statement or recommendations or reports and/or
news releases of any matters discussed in the negotiations. No other
member of either negotiating team may make any statement, recommendations,
or reports or disclosures of any matters discussed in the negotiations.
No substitution may be made for the Chief Negotiator without one weeks
notice in writing and upon substitution all negotiations shall cease
during the notice period of one week until the new Chief Negotiator shall
become qualified.
C. Executive Sessions
It is understood and agreed by the parties that the negotiating process
is a difficult process and subject to all matter of complications which
may arise during the negotiating sessions, and that to hold the nego-
tiating sessions in public or to allow access to the sessions by the
public or the news media can and would inhibit, prolong and damage the.
negotiating process. It is further understood that any negotiations
that are reached by the negotiating team are only recommendations which
must be approved by the City Council of Iowa City on behalf of the City and
the Union members on behalf of the Union. At such time there will be a
nances, rules or resolutions and the public and the Union members will
have full opportunity to consider the results of the work of the negotiating
teams. It is therefore agreed that all negotiating sessions shall be in
executive session and that no one except the negotiating teams, and one
pt�rsoh for each team to take notes, shall be in the sessions. The parties,
however, may jointly agree to allow additional persons to attend any session
to act as a mediator if the parties desire. All sessions will be held at
mutually convenient times to both the Union and the Management representatives.
D. Proposals
The parties agree to prepare written proposals as to the items they wish
to negotiate. Such proposals shall be in writing and delivered to the
other side at the first meeting. Additional proposals involving different.
subject matters than the original proposals may be submitted at any time
during the negotiating process. It is the intent of the proposals submission
to assist the parties in the negotiating process by enabling each party to
know generally of the other parties interests so that the parties in the
negotiating team may determine the areas of the agreement and disagreement
and be prepared to provide information of areas of disagreement which may
help resolve same.
E. Impasse Procedure
At the conclusion of negotiations, if there remain items of impasse
(non -agreement) either party may request mediation through the Federal
Mediation and Conciliation Service. If mediation fails.to resolve items
of impasse, such items may be submitted to third party neutral advisement
in the form of fact finding as the first step. If fact finding fails to
resolve items of impasse both the Union and the Employer shall report back
to their governing bodies on the items of impasse. Within fifteen (15)
days after fact finding either the Union or the Employer may petition the
other by written notice requesting arbitration for those items of impasse.
Such arbitration shall involve binding final - offer arbitration as the
final recourse in addition to the recommendations of the fact -finder.
The arbitration proceedings shall be conducted by an arbitrator to be
selected by the Union and the Employer within seven days after notice has
been given. If the Union and the Employer fail to select an arbitrator, the
Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service shall be requested by either party,
• -12-
or both parties, to provide a panel of five arbitrators. Both the Union and
the Employer shall have the right to scratch two names from the panel. The
p:arty requesting arbitration shall strike the first name; the other party
shall then strike one name. The process shall be repeated and the remaining
person shall be the arbitrator. The decision of the arbitrator shall be
final and binding on the parties and the arbitrator shall be requested to
issue his/her decision within thirty (30) days after the conclusion of testi-
mony and agreement. The rules of conduct under which the arbitrator shall
administer activities shall be pursuant to relevant state statutes (Senate
File 531) as may be modified by the Public Employee Relations Board, any
subsequent legislation, as any Court decisions pertaining thereto.
Expenses for fact finding and/or arbitration shall be borne equally by
both parties.
XVII. DURATION OF AGREEMENT
This Agreement shall be in effect for a period of two and one-half calendar
years beginning on January 1, 1975, and ending on June 30, 1977. On or before
October 1, 1976, the parties to this Agreement shall arrange mutually convenient
meetings for the purpose of consumating a new Agreement which shall become effec-
tive on July 1, 1977.
XVIII. SAVINGS CLAUSE
Should any provision of this Agreement be held unlawful by a court or adminis-
trative agency of competent jurisdiction, all other provisions of this Agreement shall
remain in force for the duration of the Agreement. This Agreement is subject to all
Federal, State, and local laws; provided that should any change be made in any of
these laws which would be applicable and contrary to any provision contained herein,
such Provisions shall automatically be terminated. If replacement provisions are
deemed necessary by Management or the Union they shall be negotiated immediately.

The City government is responsible to the citizens to provide the best possible
service for the community in the most efficient and economical manner. The Pay
Plan for its employees reflects that responsibility in that it is designed to justly
compensate those employees whose performance best serves the governments overall
mission. Thus the City's Pay Plan is based on the principle of merit and performance.
In the salary plan for this contract most position classifications include a
salary range which is divided into six salary steps each approximately five (5) per-
cent apart. The salary range is approximately 263 in length between the first step
and the last step. The steps in themselves serve as indices to the employee and
employer of the normal salary increment available should the employees performance
merit a salary increase. Performance evaluations are mandatory every six months for
employees on steps A and B, and every twelve months from step C through step F.
Satisfactory performance would merit normal progression through all of the steps in
each salary range in a four year period.
For purposes of this agreement, and specifically to implement the above pay
plan, Management agrees to the following:
1. Merit increases shall be guaranteed to all those employees
eligible on January 1, 1975.
2- Merit increases shall be guaranteed to all those eligible on
July 1, 1975.
3. Subsequent merit increases shall be granted based upon per-
formance.
This Agreement shall be binding on the parties, their successors
and assigns and shall be approved by the appropriate governing bodies
that have the authority to bind the respective parties to this Agreement
and the undersigned hereby represents that they have the authority to
sign this Agreement and it has been approved by the governing bodies
of the parties.
