City web site (www.icgov.org).
2. The Iowa City Deer Task Force will continue to evaluate the effectiveness of warning signs
and reflectors designed to reduce the likelihood of vehicle-deer accidents. To further
minimize deer-vehicle conflict, Council will direct staff to consult with a qualified professional
to evaluate feasibility of passageways under roads in planning and designs for transportation
improvement projects. The City will also investigate the availability of federal funds for
including such passageways in eligible transportation projects.
3. The City will actively work with the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) to fully
understand and support their efforts to control the deer population for which the DNR is
responsible and which affects the health, safety, and welfare of Iowa City residents.

contraception pilot project or program in Iowa City.-

information about vehicle-deer accidents, citizen comments, and an annual helicopter deer
count. -

kill no more than the number of antlerless deer as recommended by the IDNR within the Iowa
City corporate limits, by sharpshooting, during the winter of 2006-2007.
a. To enhance understanding of deer reproductive rates, in cooperation with the DNR, the
sharpshooting agency, -and meat processors, the City will allow reproductive necropsies
to be performed on deer killed.
b. The City will fully comply with all state law governing the killing of deer, exercise great
caution and observe all possible safety measures during the sharpshoot, assure use of
the most humane methods available, and arrange for free distribution of processed deer
meat.
7. The Iowa City Deer Task Force will evaluate the effectiveness of this Deer Management
Plan. A report will be filed with the DNR.
8. As the Iowa City Deer Task Force "sunsets" in March of 2007, the Iowa City Deer Task Force
will formulate for the City Council a recommendation on continuance.
Approved by the Deer Task Force on April 11 , 2006 by a vote of 5-2 (2 absent)
Approved by the Iowa City City Council on May 2, 2006
LONG-TERM DEER MANAGEMENT PLAN (Rev. 10/05)
1. The City of Iowa City will develop an educational program that will provide residents with information on deer habits and
guidelines for limiting localized deer damage through the use of screening, alternative plantings, and other techniques.
The City's Long Term Deer Management Plan will be included. Educational materials will be distributed through a variety
of methods including public informational meetings, pamphlets, and government television programs.
2. The City of Iowa City will evaluate the need for and, where appropriate, install or petition the State or County to install on
roadways under their jurisdiction warning signs and/or reflectors that may reduce the likelihood of vehicle-deer accidents.
The City will prepare annual reports on effectiveness of deer reflectors. In addition, thoughtful consideration will be given
to deer migratory paths as transportation improvement projects are approved by the City Council.
3. In order to prevent irreparable damage to the ecosystems in Iowa City and to prevent significant injury or damage to
persons or property, the City Council has set the maximum deer population density to be twenty-five (25) per square mile
per City-designated management district. Actual numbers are to be collected via helicopter count.
4. In order to implement ~s long-term deer population limit, the City of Iowa City formally requests that the Natural Resource
Commission approve a rule establishing a special deer population management area for Iowa City with the following
conditions, limitations, and procedures:
a. The special deer management area is defined as all public and private land in Iowa City as designated by the City
Council of Iowa City.
b. The City is allowed to kill as many deer as the City determines necessary to reach its desired goal. Killing may occur
between September 1 and February 28. .
(1) The City is allowed to utilize sharpshooting with centerfire rifles and rimfire rifles for the lethal removal of deer.
Bait may be used to attract deer to the sites. The City shall determine locations, training, and all other conditions
for the sharpshooting activities. The City shall also comply with all applicable state laws.
(2) All deer killed by sharpshooting are to be processed for human consumption and distributed free of charge.
Processing lockers participating in the plan will be allowed to keep and utilize the deer hide.
(3) No licenses will be required for the City and no fees will be charged.
c. The City will initially utilize sharpshooting over bait to reduce the number of deer in each management district to the
population limit. By the end of the initial reduction plan, it is projected that the deer population will be at a level that
requires maintenance rather than aggressive reduction. The City will strongly encourage use of non-lethal methods
to maintain deer numbers but recognizes that killing of deer may be necessary to maintain the population goal.
5. The Deer Task Force will convene each spring to review educational material, deer population numbers (current and
projected), management options, and to recommend methods to kill deer. Any or all legal lethal methods available
(including sharpshooting and bow and arrow hunting) may be utilized after the initial reduction plan if the method(s) meet
the following criteria: 1) public safety, 2) community acceptance, 3) effectiveness in maintaining the desired number of
deer.
6. To aid in the implementation of the Long Term Deer Management Plan, the Deer Task Force will submit an annual plan to
be adopted by the City Council following public hearing. Annual plans as approved by the Council will be forwarded to the
Department of Natural Resources and, if necessary, the Natural Resources Council for authorization to implement.

withheld from the first check of the next month.

HOURS OF WORK
Section 1. The normal work week will average fifty-six (56) hours, consisting of twenty-four
(24) hours on duty (commencing at 0700 hours), twenty-four (24) hours off duty, twenty-four (24)
hours on duty, twenty-four (24) hours off duty, twenty-four (24) hours on duty, ninety-six (96)

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.

Section 3. Tradina 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. Staffina. 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. Pav 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 Chiefs 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 1 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 Dutv. 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:
Annual hours worked:
Holiday time:
56 hours/40 hour = 1.4
2912 hours/2080 hours = 1.4
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 payor by compensatory time off, such policy
will be declared by written notice to the bargaihing unit. Upon termination the employee will be
paid for all remaining compensatory time. If an emergency situation occurs, as determined by the
humanrellunionslfireJlocal610agm.cIoc
5
Chief at the end of a fiscal year which would result in a probable loss of compensatory time 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 Iniurv. 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 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-Iaw, 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 Pav. 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
humanreUunions/firellocaI610agm.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. Jurv Dutv. 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
humanreUunionslfire/local610agm.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. Militarv Leave. The City will comply with the Code of Iowa on military leave.
Section 7. Preanancv 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 retums 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
HOLIDAYS
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

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

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.
a. An hour of accumulated sick leave shall be used for each hour an employee is sick and off
work during a work week. A doctor's statement regarding nature of illness and recovery
therefrom may be required. Sick leave may be used on an hour-to-hour basis for doctor's
appointments or other health maintenance needs.
b. In addition to sickness of an employee, sick leave may be used for:
(1) On-the-job injury;
(2) Serious illness or hospital confinement of a spouse, domestic partner as
recognized by City policy, or child, or critical illness of the employee's mother,
father, mother-in-law, father-in-law, including mother or father of a domestic
partner, brother, sister, or grandparents, as well as any other relatives or members

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 payor 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 altemative 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.

Section 1. There will be a cost of living allowance if and when and to the extent the cost of
living exceeds nine percent (9%) during the contract year subject to a maximum payout of two
percent (2%) of an employee's base salary for the quarter in question. The method and basis for

(CPI-W) published by the Bureau of Labor Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor,
Urban and Clerical Wage Eamers, U.S. cities, 1967=100.
b. The base index month shall be May 2006 for FY07, May 2007 for FY08, and May
2008 for FY09.
c. Cost of living computations will be made quarterly to determine the percent
difference between the CPI-W for the base index month and for August,
November, February, and May of each applicable fiscal year.
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 nine percent (9%). However, these quarterly cost of
living payments are limited to a maximum of two percent (2%) of an employee's
base salary for the quarter in question. Furthermore, any payments made under
this Article for the final quarter described in Section (c) shall not be included in the
base salary of any employee but shall be paid on a one-time, non-recurring basis.
humanrellunionslfirellocal610agm.doc

e. No cost of living adjustment will have the effect of reducing the salary schedules
set forth in Article XXVIII, Compensation of this Agreement.

the December 1 payment.
Section 4. Each permanent, full-time bargaining unit employee who is a duly certified
Emergency Medical Technician-Basic as of the first day of the contract benefit period as defined

($475.00) on the second payday of each fiscal year.
ARTICLE XXIX
USE OF TIME OFF
Current policies goveming 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.
