File Date: February 22, 2001
45 Day Limitation Period: April 8, 2001
BACKGROUND INFORMATION:
The applicant, Arlington L.C., c/o Gary Watts, is requesting a preliminary plat of Stone Bridge
Estates Part 1, a 5.05-acre, 16-1ot subdivision for property located east of Camden Road, north of
Court Street, and west of Taft Avenue. This property, along with surrounding property, was
annexed into Iowa City in 2000, and was zoned Single-Family Residential, RS-5, at that time. The
rezoning was subject to a Conditional Zoning Agreement, which required general compliance with
2
the neighborhood design principles contained in the Northeast District Plan.
ANALYSIS:
Comprehensive Plan: The Nodheast District Plan, which is part of the Comprehensive Plan,
contains many neighborhood design policies for developing neighborhoods. The Conditional
Zoning Agreement that accompanied the rezoning for this property summarizes that the policies
that should be followed include but are not limited to:
· .. the provision of an interconnected street system, designing collector streets so they
are not continuous through streets, utilizing cul-de-sac streets only where other options
are not practical, designing sidewalk and trail systems as an integral part of the
neighborhood transportation system, preserving natural features such as stream
corridors, and ensuring neighborhood access to open space areas. Other items that are
encouraged by said Plan and that may be considered within said development, but are
subject to review and approval through the preliminary and final plat review process,
include the use of traditional neighborhood design concepts such as the use of narrow
street pavement, alleys, and green elements within streets such as planted medians or
small neighborhood greens."
This plat must be considered in the context of the larger planned neighborhood. The larger
plan, attached, does demonstrate the use of an interconnected street system, no use of cul-de-
sac streets, preservation of the stream corridor, a continuous sidewalk system, and access to
open space areas. While the Commission will be voting only on Stone Bridge Estates Part 1,
you may wish to discuss and offer comments on the larger concept plan for the remainder of
this developing neighborhood.
Street design: The proposed street, Ashford Place, will intersect with Camden Road, which
has been platted to the south. The concept plan for the larger neighborhood shows Ashford
Place continuing to the north with some other streets branching off of it. Chadwick Drive stubs
to the east, and will provide access as the neighborhood is developed to the east
Secondary access: The single means of access to this proposed subdivision is Camden Road,
which connects to Court Street to the south. Camden Road is platted as a collector street; under
the City's secondary access guidelines, Camden Road can accommodate an average of 2,500
vehicles per day before secondary access would be required. While Stone Bridge Estates Pad 1
will not trigger this requirement, the need for secondary access will need to be monitored as future
subdivisions are platted in this area.
Open space: No public open space is proposed with this subdivision. The Northeast District
Plan shows public open space being along a creek to the east, potentially along a drainageway to
the northwest, and being incorporated into a public square centering on Lower West Branch
Road. Fees collected in lieu of open space would go toward purchasing or improving the open
space areas planned for in the Northeast District Plan. The Parks and Recreation Commission
will consider this plat as their April 11 meeting and will make a recommendation to the City
Council regarding open space requirements.
Storm water management: Though no stormwater management is required for this area, the
applicant has planned for a pond to function as stormwater management to the west of the
proposed subdivision. This pond would also be an amenity to the neighborhood. The City does
not intend to accept responsibility for the future maintenance of this pond.
Water main tap-on fees: Water main extension tap-on fees at a rate of $395/acre will be
required for this subdivision and future subdivisions in this area.
3
Minimum lot size: A number of the lots proposed for this subdivision are less than 8,000 square
feet, the minimum lot size in the RS-5 zone. The RS-5 zone allows for 'averaging' the lot sizes so
the overall average density does not go above 5 units per acre, with the condition that no lot be
less than 7,200 square feet, or more than 15,000 square feet. The proposed plat meets these
requirements.
School reservation site: The property to the southeast of this subdivision has been held in
reserve for a potential elementary school. The School District has approximately seven more
years left to exercise their option on this property, or it returns to the applicant, as a development
property. The Stone Bridge Estates subdivision is designed to potentially include a street T-ing off
of Ashford Place to serve the property to the southeast if it should become a development
property. The larger concept plan for the neighborhood leaves the area blank, with the potential
for streets to be extended if the school district returns the property to the developer.
STAFF RECOMMENDATION:
Staff recommends that SUB01-0002, a preliminary plat of Stone Bridge Estates Part 1, a 5.05
acre, 16-1ot residential subdivision located east of Camden Road and north of Court Street, be
deferred, pending resolution of the deficiencies and discrepancies listed below. Upon resolution
of these deficiencies and discrepancies, staff recommends approval.
DEFICIENCIES AND DISCREPANCIES:
1. The purpose of Outlot A needs to be labeled. According the applicant, it will be a future
development area, to be associated with development of the property to the west.
2. The note referring to the cul-de-sac in the 'typical street section' should be removed.
3. The property owner needs to be clarified - the application states that the Lindemann's are the
property owners, while the plat states Arlington L.C. is the property owner.
4. The 15' drainage easement on the north side of the plat should be extended all the way to the
to the stormwater pond to the west.
5. The plat states that erosion control measures are illustrated on the grading plan. Therefore, a
grading plan needs to be submitted.

physical change to the property that differs from previous years. The change is the
addition of permanent aluminum fencing. The fencing is to be taken down once a year
for snow removal and reinstailed in spring. The recommended height from design
review is between 36" and no higher than 48". Design review encourages the
permanent fence applicants to observe the Downtown streetscape fixtures for details
and color.
Other than the new fencing there is no change from the previous year. The applicant
has indicated that the sidewalk caf~ furniture and planters will be the same as the
previous year. There will be Terrazzo Green tabletops, Hunter Green Table Base and
Green Resin Chairs. This application has the recommended approval of the design
review committee.

withheld from the first check of the next month.

(24) hours on duty, twenty-four (24) hours off duty, twenty-four (24) hours on duty, ninety-six (96)
hours off duty, but no employee shall be guaranteed any specific number of hours in any one

shifts, except such members as assigned to other special shifts by the Chief. An adjustment in
benefits will be made for employees who are assigned to other than fifty-six (56) hour week.

made upon twenty-four (24) hours notice. No prior notice is required to change schedules in an
emergency or in the case of inclement weather.
I~umanrellunionslfirelloca1610agm dec 3
Section 3. Tradinq of Time. The City will permit fire fighters to exchange work shifts within
grade and between captains and lieutenants upon the following procedures:
a. Two employees below the rank of Captain may make a mutual request in writing to
the Captains of the respective shifts 24 hours in advance except in the case of
emergency when shorter periods of notice are required. Captains will forward their
own request directly to the Fire Chief or his/her designee.
b. The Fire Chief or his/her designee will approve or deny the request, but permission
to trade will not be denied without reason.
c. The employee receiving the work shift off in the exchange shall pay back the
employee taking his/her place, as required by the law.
d. The substitution may not impose any additional costs on the Employer. In the
event the employer is required to pay any overtime because of the failure of an
employee to pay another back in timely fashion, this overtime pay shall be
deducted from the pay of the negligent employee.
Section 4. Staffing. The Chief has sole discretion to determine the number of people who
take time off in any rank as well as the level of staff for the Fire Department.
Section 5. Pay outside of classification. If an acting temporary appointment out of rank is
made by the Fire Chief for a period of 24 or more consecutive work hours, the employee so
appointed will be paid at the rate of 4% above his/her current salary/hourly rate or at the first step
rate of the rank being replaced if they are at the top step of their permanent pay range. Such pay
adjustments will be retroactive to the original date of assignment.
If an acting temporary appointment to a Battalion Chiet's position is made by the Fire Chief
for a period of twenty-four (24) consecutive work hours or more, the Captain appointed will be
paid at the rate of 4% above his/her current salary/hourly rate. If a lieutenant is so appointed, they
shall be paid at a rate of 4% above the Step I rate for a Captain.
Overtime during any such acting temporary appointment, when worked in such acting
capacity and when compensated by overtime pay, shall be compensated at one and one-half (1 ~)
times the acting hourly rate. However, the Fire Chief may assign an employee who is working on
his/her regular shift to such acting capacity in order to avoid paying acting pay at the overtime rate
to an employee in overtime status.
Such appointments will be made by the Fire Chief as follows:
a. Firefighters acting out of rank: In making temporary out-of-rank assignments the Fire
Chief will look to the Firefighters assigned to the station affected. Of such Firefighters, a
Firefighter on the Lieutenant promotional list will have priority in accepting the assignment.
If no Firefighter appears on the Lieutenant promotional list, the senior Firefighter at the
affected station will have priority in accepting the assignment except that for such
temporary assignments of 72 consecutive working hours or longer, the Chief may assign
any Firefighter who is on the Lieutenant promotional list. If the Firefighters assigned to the
station do not accept the assignment, the Firefighter moving to the affected station as the
replacement will then be offered the temporary out-of-rank assignment.
b. Lieutenants acting out of rank: In making temporary out-of-rank assignments, the Fire
Chief will share among Lieutenants such assignments with consideration to a Lieutenant's
standing on the Captain promotional list.
The Fire Chief reserves the right to assign temporary out-of-rank assignments if no. personnel
voluntarily accepts such assignment. The Fire Chief reserves the right to establish minimum
standards for persons given out-of-rank assignments.
Section 6. Excused Tardiness. Employees shall be allowed two (2) fifteen (15) minute
penalty-free tardiness' annually. This provision shall only be applicable in situations involving
unintentional tardiness.
Section 7. Administrative Duty. A continuous shift employee (56 hours/week) assigned to
administrative duty (referred to as "light duty") with a forty (40) hour work week schedule will
continue to accrue all benefits and compensation at their continuous shift rate while on the 40
hour assignment, and will use benefits on a pro-rated basis. The ratio will be 56/40 or 1.4, and will
be used when reporting accrual usage, i.e. for every one hour of time taken, 1.4 hours will be
reflected on the accrual usage.
Work week: 56 hours/40 hour = 1.4
Annual hours worked: 2912 hours/2080 hours = 1.4
Holiday time: 135 hours/96 hour = 1.4
If an employee terminates while on a 40 hour work week schedule, their benefit payout will
be calculated on a 56 hour benefit schedule, at the 56 hour work week rate.
When employees on administrative duty work beyond eight (8) hours per day, every effort
will be made to adjust the remainder of the work week to limit total work hours to 40 per work
week. If this is not possible, comp time will be accrued or overtime will be paid in accordance with
applicable laws. In addition, usage of time will be limited to hours absent from the 40 hour work
schedule, at the pro-rated basis.
ARTICLE VI
OVERTIME
Section 1. For purposes of this Article a "day" is defined as beginning at 7:00 A.M. and
ending twenty-four (24) hours later.
Section 2. Overtime is work performed by a permanent employee who is required to work
at the end of twenty-four (24) hour shift or who is called back to work for fire department activities.
Prior authorization from the Officer in charge is required before overtime will be credited.
Employees may be periodically required to work overtime but may request not to do so because
of physical inability as determined by the Chief or his/her designee.
Overtime is voluntary where overtime assignments are made over seventy-two (72) hours
in advance; provided, however, the right to refuse an overtime assignment shall be limited to the
first three (3) employees asked to report to work on a particular work day. Thereafter, overtime
shall be mandatory.
The Fire Chief shall make assignments as soon as he/she knows of the need. There will
be no pyramiding of overtime.
Overtime will be compensated at the rate of one and one-half (1-1/2) times the current
base hourly rate of the employee or by compensatory time off at the rate of one and one-half (1-
1/2) hours of each hour of overtime worked. Permanent employees may accumulate up to 48
hours of compensatory time which may be taken off at times agreed upon by the employee and
the supervisor. The Chief will consider departmental staffing needs, financial considerations, and
employee preferences in determining whether overtime is paid or compensatory time given. In
the event that the Chief shall establish a standing policy that for some period of time all overtime
worked will be compensated exclusively either by pay or by compensatory time off, such policy will
be declared by written notice to the bargaining unit. Upon termination the employee will be paid
for all remaining compensatory time. If an emergency situation occurs, as determined by the
humanrellun~onsiflr e13oca1610agm doc 5
Chief at the end of a fiscal year which would result in a probable loss of compensatory t(me due to
year end accruals, the Chief may authorize overtime payment in lieu of compensatory time at the
end of the first full pay period of the new fiscal year.
Section 3. Minimum Call-In. An employee who has completed a work day and who is
called in to work in an emergency situation without prior notice will be paid for a minimum of two
and one-half (2-1/2) hours. If the emergency call-in takes more than two and one-half (2-1/2)
hours the employee will be compensated for time spent. Minimum call-in will be paid at the
overtime rate. This section shall not apply to employees who are already at their place of
assignment for the purpose of reporting for regular or other previously assigned duty and who are
utilized to supplement, rather than replace, on-duty personnel.
Section 4. Calculation of Overtime. Generally, overtime will be recorded on the basis of
six (6) minute segments, and an employee must work an entire segment to be credited with one-
tenth (1/10) hour for overtime. However, in the case of retention time, an employee will receive
one (1) hour of overtime for any part of an hour of previously authorized work.
E.g., if a unit is called out at 6:30 A.M. for a fire and are unable to return to the station until
7:20 A.M., each crew member who has received authorization to answer the call will receive one
(1) hour of overtime. In the event that the crew is required to stay until 8:20 A.M. (1 hour 20
minutes) the time in excess of one hour will be recorded to the nearest one-tenth (1/10) hour and
the employee would receive 1.3 hours of overtime.
ARTICLE VII
SPECIAL LEAVES
Section 1. On the Job Injury. In the event of a temporary and disabling injury or disease
of an employee while at work, the City shall provide a leave of absence with pay, provided the
injury or disease is incurred in or aggravated by the actual performance of duty at some time or
place. The City shall bear any and all costs for treatment of such injury or disease.
The City's Medical Advisor shall make the initial judgment on whether time off work is
required by the injury or disease.
The allowance provided by this Section shall be administered consistent with the
provisions of Chapter 411 of the Code of Iowa.
Section 2. Funerals. An employee will be granted up to a maximum of two (2) shifts per
incident as determined by the Chief with no loss of compensation to attend the funeral of his/her
spouse, domestic partner as recognized by City policy, children, mother, father, stepparent, sister,
brother or grandparent.
An employee will be granted up to one (1) shift per occurrence with no loss of
compensation nor loss of accrual from sick, annual, or compensatory time to attend the funeral of
his/her mother-in-law, father-in-law, grandparent-in-law, aunt or uncle, brother-in-law, sister-in-law,
or permanent member of the immediate household. In-law relationships referred to herein shall
include such relationships through a domestic partner as recognized by City policy.
If additional time is needed, an employee shall be permitted to use up to one (1) shift of
accumulated sick leave with the approval of the Fire Chief or Battalion Chief.
Section 3. Leave of Absence Without Pay. A leave of absence without pay is a
predetermined amount of time off work, which has been requested by the employee, recommend-
ed by the Fire Chief and approved by the City Manager. Generally, such leave shall not exceed
twelve (12) months. Upon termination of any such leave of absence, the employee shall return to
work in the same range and step as when he/she left and will receive compensation on the same
basis as if he/she had continued to work at his/her regular position without leave, provided that,
during that period, if the nature of operations has changed so that similar work does not exist the
employee may apply for vacancies in related areas or other vacancies at the City for which the
humanrellunions~irelloca1610agm doc 6
employee is otherwise qualified. If an opening for the employee no longer exists in his/her civil
service rank, he/she will be assigned to the first open position which becomes available in his/her
civil service rank, or in a lower rank, within 90 days of the termination of such leave of absence,
or, in the case of a leave of absence necessitated by a medically certified illness or injury to the
employee, within 180 days of the termination of such leave of absence. Once an employee
returns to work in a position as provided herein, that position shall become his/her permanent civil
service rank.
In the event an employee fails to return to work at the end of any such leave or extension
he/she shall be deemed to have voluntarily resigned or, if applicable, voluntarily retired on the last
day of work prior to such leave. During a leave of absence without pay, the employee:
a. cannot pay retirement contributions if the leave exceeds one month in duration;
b. shall not receive any other accruals or job benefits during the period of absence;
c. shall not acquire additional seniority during said leave except in the case of
temporary medical disability or where otherwise specified by this Agreement;
d. shall not earn sick, vacation, or other leave;
e. must use all accumulated leave time to which he/she is entitled prior to the time
that the leave without pay commences;
f. must pay prorated health, dental and life insurance premiums falling due during
any month the employee is not on the payroll, if coverage is desired and is
available subject to insurance carrier approval, as follows:
1. For any calendar month during which the employee is on unpaid leave not
exceeding ten calendar days and insurance coverage is desired, the City
will pay the cost of the insurance premiums for Medical, Dental and Life
insurance.
2. For any calendar month during which the employee is on unpaid leave in
excess of ten calendar days and insurance coverage is desired, the
employee must pay 1/20 of the insurance premium for each calendar day
beyond ten days that the employee is on unpaid leave of absence. The
remainder of the premium will be paid for by the City.
3. The employee may choose which insurance coverages, if any, are to be
retained during the unpaid leave of absence.
4. Payment for insurance coverages desired by the employee may be
deducted from current or future pay due to the employee. Failure to return
from an unpaid leave where insurance coverage was desired will result in
the City billing the individual for costs which would otherwise have been
deducted from the employee's pay.
The Fire Chief may waive the above conditions (a. through e.) for leaves of absence not
exceeding ten (10) calendar days.
Section 4. Jury Duty. An employee summoned for jury duty shall notify the City so that a
request to the Court in writing may be made to excuse the employee because of the nature of fire
suppression activities. In the event that no such request is made by the City or that the employee
is not excused, the employee shall receive his/her regular compensation from the City for all
humanreflun~on~lfirelloca1610agm doc 7
regular duty time spent in jury service and the City shall receive the pay earned for. such jury
service. Compensation for travel expenses may be retained by the employee. An employee shall
report to the assigned work area both before and after time spent on jury duty for regularly
scheduled work days.
Section 5. Witness Fees. An employee shall be granted leave with pay when required to
be absent from work for the purpose of testifying in court in response to legal summons, when
such appearance arises directly from his/her duties or obligations as an Iowa City firefighter, and
the City shall receive the witness fees up to the amount of compensation paid to the employee for
days testified.
Section 6. Military Leave. The City will comply with the Code of Iowa on military leave.
Section 7. Preqnancy Leave. A pregnant employee shall be entitled to a leave of absence
without pay if she is disabled as a result of pregnancy or related cause at the exhaustion of other
accumulated leaves. All employees requiring such leave shall notify the Fire Chief prior to the
anticipated date of birth and should be able to substantiate their condition by a doctor's statement.
Employees may work during pregnancy if health permits.
Those granted leaves under this section shall present a doctor's statement as to
pregnancy disability and recovery therefrom. Within seven (7) days following birth, miscarriage, or
abortion, the employee shall advise the City of the date by which she will return to work. Unless
the employee returns to work by such date, or any other date by reason of extension granted by
the City, the employee will be considered to have voluntarily resigned or retired.
ARTICLE VIII

Section 1. The following days shall be paid holidays for permanent employees: New Year's
Day (January 1); Martin Luther King, Jr. Day (third Monday in January); Washington's Birthday
(third Monday in February); Memorial Day (last Monday in May); Independence Day (July 4);
Labor Day (first Monday in September); Veteran's Day (November 11 ); Thanksgiving Day (fourth

Section 2. In addition, there shall be granted to permanent employees who do not work a
continuous shift the day before or after Christmas, or the day before or after New Year's Day as
an additional holiday. The City Manager may direct that employees observe a particular day for
this holiday but if the Manager fails to make such designation by December 15 of the calendar
year in question, employees may select a particular day subject to the approval of the supervisor.
If the City Manager does not designate a day employees may choose a day between December
24 and January 2 for this holiday with the supervisor's approval.
Section 3. Permanent employees on a continuous shift shall receive one hundred thirty-
five (135) hours of holiday credit on the first day of each fiscal year as defined in Article XXVII,
Section 1, of this agreement. Any continuous shift employee who begins work after July 1 of any
calendar year will receive credit for the remaining holiday dates in the year. If an employee
separates after July 1 of any year, those holidays which have been credited but which have not
yet occurred will be deducted for the purpose of considering separation pay. Requests for use of
holiday time shall be made to the Battalion Chief who shall determine when holiday time may be
taken.
For the purpose of this Article, a holiday for continuous shift employees begins at 7:00
A.M. on the day of the holiday and continues for a period of twenty-four (24) hours thereafter.
Section 4. In lieu of overtime pay for working on a holiday, a payment of $200 ($20.00 per
holiday) for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 2001 and of $250 ($25.00 per holiday) for the fiscal
year beginning July 1, 2002, will be made to each permanent full-time continuous shift bargaining
unit employee. Payment will be made on the second payday of the fiscal year. Any continuous
shift employee who begins work after July 1 of any year will receive payment for the remaining
holiday dates in the year. If an employee separates after July 1, those holidays which have been
paid but which have not yet occurred will be deducted for the purpose of considering separation
pay.

Section 6. Holidays or personal leave days shall not be carried beyond the last day of any
fiscal year as defined in Article XXVII, Section I of this agreement.
Section 7. Definitions. "Continuous shift employees" as used in this article includes all
personnel who are working on twenty-four (24) hour shifts.
ARTICLE IX
SICK LEAVE
Section 1. Accumulation. Employees shall be granted twelve (12) hours of sick leave credit
per month and shall have the right to accumulate unused sick leave up to a maximum of 2,160
hours (90 shifts). Sick leave shall not be accumulated while an employee takes a leave of
absence without pay but any employee granted a City paid leave shall continue to earn sick leave.
Accumulation of sick leave shall commence on the date of first permanent employment. Additional
sick leave will not accrue while an employee is receiving pension compensation on any basis or
on an unpaid leave of absence except a temporary occupational disability. Employees on
temporary occupational disability leave shall continue to accrue sick leave during the first ninety
(90) days of such leave.
Upon retirement, the City shall pay for one-half (1/2) of the accumulated sick leave on the
basis of the employee's current hourly base salary, provided that the dollar amount of the payment
may be up to but shall not exceed the amount that an employee would have been due if he/she
had terminated on June 28, 1985. Employees hired on or after June 29, 1985, are not eligible for
payment under the provisions of this paragraph. An employee must have been employed by the
City for at least one year in order to be eligible for payment of accumulated sick leave upon
termination.
Section 2. Use of Sick Leave.

humanrel/unions/flrellocar610agrn doc 9
Serious illness is one in which the ill person is incapacitated to such a degree that he/she
cannot alone adequately provide for his or her daily living needs.
Section 3. Notifications. An employee shall notify his/her supervisor as soon as
reasonably possible of any sickness or illness which will cause him/her to miss work and, unless
such notification is given prior to the beginning of the work day, the absence will not be charged to
sick leave, but will be charged to other accumulated leave or to leave of absence without pay.
Unusual circumstances will be evaluated and may result in charging the absence to sick leave.
An employee who becomes sick at work will notify his/her supervisor before leaving the area. An
employee who is unable to perform any required duties as a result of illness must leave the work
area and charge the time to sick leave or other accumulated leave, or to leave without pay.
Section 4. In the event an employee is injured or disabled on the job requiring time away
from work, no deductions shall be made from the employee's accumulated sick leave or annual
leave unless such employee requires more than two (2) shifts following the day of the injury in
which to recuperate and return to work.
Section 5. While an employee is receiving sick leave pay from the City, self-employment
for pay or work for another employer for pay is expressly forbidden. A waiver of this provision
shall be given if the employee presents evidence from his/her physician to the satisfaction of the
City that the employee's medical disability would preclude fulfillment of the employee's duties with
the City, but that the nature of the disability would permit work at alternative outside employment.
Section 6. Sick Leave Bank.
a. Permanent employees in the bargaining unit may apply to the Sick Leave Bank if
they have exhausted their own sick leave accumulation and are seriously ill. Hours
of sick leave shall be contributed to the bank by bargaining unit members who
have reached the maximum accumulation of sick leave (2160 hours or 90 shifts) at
the rate of 5.54 hours per pay period. The City does not formally maintain a bank
balance; however, the City acknowledges that sufficient hours exist in the bank to
cover all requests. Contributing to the Bank does not guarantee an automatic loan
from the Sick Leave Bank.
b. Employees who use Sick Bank days will repay the bank at the regular sick leave
accrual schedule after returning to work. Employees who do not return to work or
who fail to accumulate a sufficient amount of sick leave will pay back the Bank
from other accrued leave or in cash, except for those cases where the joint City-
Union committee may waive such payback due to the death or permanent disability
of the employee.
c. A joint City-Union committee will administer the use of Sick Bank days by
employees. The committee will be made up of one Union representative, one City
representative and one person chosen by the two representatives. The Bank
Administration Committee will determine when sick leave may be used, application
procedures, the length of time which any employee may borrow, the length of the
waiting period after exhaustion of sick leave before employees may borrow time,
amount of time before which days must be paid back, and other criteria for using
Bank days.
The Committee is charged with maintaining the integrity of the Bank for
serious or catastrophic illness of individuals in the entire unit and will develop
policies to protect against abuse by individuals.

USE OF TIME OFF
Current policies governing the use of holiday, compensatory and vacation time will apply
uniformly on a departmental basis.
Once holiday, compensatory and vacation time is approved and scheduled, its use shall
not be denied except:
1. In emergency situations.
2. Where minimum staffing cannot be achieved due to unavailability of replacement
personnel.
Where #2 above applies, it is understood that the employer will place up to four telephone
calls to attempt to secure a replacement for an employee whose scheduled time is subject to
cancellation. If no replacement is secured, the scheduled time off is cancelled unless the affected
employee secures a replacement.
Efforts by the employer to contact replacement personnel (other than the number of
telephone call attempts) shall not be grievable under the provisions of this agreement.
The benefits to the bargaining unit of this article were agreed to by the employer in
exchange for the Union's acceptance of a salary and benefit package less than the employer
would have otherwise agreed to.

SIDE LETTER Of AGREEMENT
BETWEEN
CITY OF IOWA CITY
AND
IOWA CITY ASSOCIATION OF PROFESSIONAL FIREFIGHTERS
IAFF, AFL-CIO, LOCAL 610
For contractual purposes, a Lieutenant assigned to the Training/Public Education assignment will
be defined as Lieutenant under Adicle I of the Collective Bargaining Agreement.
A Lieutenant (56 hours per week) assigned to the Training/Public Education assignment with a 40
hour work week schedule, will continue to accrue vacation sick leave and holiday time at the
higher shift rate while on the 40 hour assignment, and will use benefits on a pro-rated basis. The
ratio of shift (56 hours), to regular week (40 hours), is 1.4. Therefore, this ratio will be used when
reporting accrual usage; i.e., for every 1 hour of time taken, 1.4 hours will be reflected on the
accrual usage.
Work Week: 58 hours/40 hours = 1.4
Annual Hours Worked: 2912 hours/2080 hours = 1.4
Holiday Time: 123 hours/88 hours = 1.4
If an employee assigned to a 40 hour schedule terminates employment while on this schedule,
his/her benefit payout will be calculated on a 56 hour benefit schedule, at the 56 hour work week
rate.
The annual salary for a Lieutenant in the Training/Public Education assignment will be the
equivalent of pay grade 37, with the hourly rate adjusted to reflect a 40 hour work week.

He/she would be eligible for increases in accordance with ARTICLE XXVII ,WAGES Section 2.
When time is worked beyond 8 hours per day every effort will be made to adjust the remainder of
the work week to limit total work hours to 40 per work week. If this is not possible, comp time will
be accrued or overtime will be paid in accordance with applicable laws.
The parties agree that this side letter take effect from July 1, 2001 to June 30, 2003.
