TITLE: Tentative Agreement with the Newport Beach Employees League
(League)
ABSTRACT:
The Memoranda of Understanding (MOU) between the City of Newport Beach (City) and
the Newport Beach Employees League (League) expired December 31, 2021. The
League is affiliated with the Orange County Employees Association (OCEA).
Representatives from the City and the League began negotiating the terms and conditions
of a successor agreement in October 2021. A Tentative Agreement (Agreement) has
been reached. The Agreement addresses wages, benefits, and other terms and
conditions of employment for employees represented by the League, as required under
the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act, California Government Code §3500.
To promote greater transparency in the negotiations process, including the costs
associated with the labor contract, the League Agreement (Attachment A) is being
presented at this time for public review and comment. The Agreement, which spans the
time period from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2025 will be presented again for
City Council adoption (or rejection) at the January 25 regular meeting.
RECOMMENDATION:
a) Determine this action is exempt from the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA)
pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) and 15060(c)(3) of the CEQA Guidelines because
this action will not result in a physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly;
and
b) Receive and consider the Tentative Agreement between the City of Newport Beach
and the Newport Beach Employees League.

Page 2
DISCUSSION:
The League represents approximately 100 non -safety employees in municipal operations
and utilities occupations, including park, beach and street maintenance; water and
wastewater services; and equipment/mechanical maintenance. The League is affiliated
with the OCEA. During negotiations, City staff members, League members, and
respective legal representatives discussed wage adjustments, disability benefits,
retirement plans, cafeteria allowance, overtime, certification pays, deferred
compensation, clarifying language, classification and compensation, and other
non -economic matters.
Salient provisions of the Tentative Agreement between the City and the League include:
• Four-year term, from January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2025
• Wage adjustments
o January 2022 — 1.0%
o January 2023 — 2.0%
o January 2024 — 2.0%
o January 2025 — 2.0%
• City -paid short-term and long-term disability benefits
• Modifications to the cafeteria allowance structure and new member medical opt -
out
• Reopener in July 2023 to discuss possible changes to the medical benefit program
• One-time signing bonus of $2,000 for currently active unit members
A draft version of the Tentative Agreement between the City and the League is included
as Attachment A, with changes from the current agreement in redline. Costing information
is included as Attachment B. The total cost of the League Agreement is estimated to be
approximately $2,360,985.
Following City Council review of the Tentative Agreement and proposed MOU with the
League, a final version of the successor MOU will be presented at the January 25, 2022
regular meeting. The costing information and proposed revisions to the MOU will be
posted for public review on the City's website.
The Agreement will not become effective, per Government Code §3505.1, until the
governing body, i.e., City Council, takes action to adopt it. If the City Council approves
adoption of the Tentative Agreement with the League at the January 25, 2022 meeting,
City staff will work to implement the provisions as soon as practicable.
FISCAL IMPACT:
The detailed costing information included in Attachment B is provided on a calendar year
basis. Because the effective date of the agreement is mid -fiscal year, the cost to
implement the terms of the agreement for FY 2021-22 is less than the $382,000 shown
in Attachment B. It is estimated to be $296,000 ($210,000 for the signing bonus plus
$86,000 for the remaining six months of the fiscal year).

Additionally, the disability insurance premiums can be funded from disability insurance
reserve funds on hand for the balance of the current fiscal year, and certain pension and
compensated absences costs are long term in nature and will not impact the current fiscal
year's budget. Should the Council approve the MOU, the budgetary impact is therefore
reduced to approximately $258,000 in FY 2021-22.
ENVIRONMENTAL REVIEW:
Staff recommends the City Council find this action is not subject to the California
Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) pursuant to Sections 15060(c)(2) (the activity will not
result in a direct or reasonably foreseeable indirect physical change in the environment)
and 15060(c)(3) (the activity is not a project as defined in Section 15378) of the CEQA
Guidelines, California Code of Regulations, Title 14, Chapter 3, because it has no
potential for resulting in physical change to the environment, directly or indirectly.
NOTICING:
The agenda item has been noticed according to the Brown Act (72 hours in advance of
the meeting at which the City Council considers the item).

B. Overtime
1. Advanced Approval - Employees must have advanced approval from their
supervisor to work overtime.
2. FLSA Overtime - Overtime earned for actual work hours in excess of 40 in
the employee's defined FLSA workweek.
3. Contract Overtime - Overtime earned for an employee whose hours paid in
their defined FLSA workweek exceeds 40. For purposes of calculating
hours paid for contract overtime, holidays and pre -scheduled vacation or
Flex leave occurring during the work week count as time worked. The use
of sick leave, floating holiday hours or flex leave that is not pre -scheduled
and approved in writing in advance do not count as hours worked for
purposes of calculating hours paid for determining eligibility for contract
overtime.
4. Rate at Which Overtime is Calculated - Both FLSA and Contract Overtime
(paid at time and one half — 1.5) shall be calculated at the regular rate of
pay, except that the rate at which Contract Overtime is calculated shall not
include the City's Cafeteria Plan Allowance, the opt -out Cafeteria Plan
Allowance, or any cash back an employee may receive from the Cafeteria
Plan Allowance by choosing benefits which cost less than the Allowance.
5. Workweek for Purposes of Calculating Overtime - For employees who work
the 9/80 work schedule, their defined FLSA workweek shall begin exactly
four hours after the start time of their shift on their alternating regular day
off (i.e., their eight-hour day) and end exactly 168 hours later. For
employees who work a 5/40 work schedule, their workweek shall begin on
Saturday at 12:01 a.m. and will end exactly 168 hours later the following
Saturday at 12:00 a.m.
6. Work Schedule - Regardless of the type of work schedule an employee is
assigned (e.g., 5/40 and 9/80), full time employees are regularly scheduled
to work forty (40) hours in their defined FLSA workweek.
7. Reporting Time - The City calculates overtime in tenths of an hour. An
employee who works in excess of three minutes of the next tenth should
round up to the next tenth and if the employee works three minutes or less
of the next tenth should round down. For example, if an employee whose
normal work schedule ends at 5:00 p.m. works until 5:03 p.m. he/she should
round down and not report the additional three minutes. However, if the
employee works until 5:04 p.m., he/she should report an additional tenth of
an hour of time worked.

For example, if an employee is on a 9/80 schedule and the holiday is
observed on a day that the employee is regularly scheduled to work 9 hours,
the employee is entitled to receive 9 hours of Holiday pay. However, if an
employee is on a 9/80 schedule and the holiday is observed on a day that
the employee is regularly scheduled to work 8 hours, the employee is
entitled to receive 8 hours of holiday pay. Employees will receive 8 hours of
Holiday Pay annually for the Floating Holiday.
Holidays listed above (except the Floating Holiday) occurring on a Saturday
shall be observed the preceding Friday. Holidays occurring on a Sunday
shall be observed the following Monday. (Half day holidays shall be
observed prior to the observed holiday).
2. Holiday Pay Eligibility
Following are the limitations on eligibility for Holiday pay:
(a) Holiday pay will be paid only to employees who work their scheduled
day before and scheduled day after a holiday, or are on authorized
12
Newport Beach Employees League 2019-21
13-18
paid leave (e.g. approved vacation or sick leave that has been
approved by the Department Director).
(b) Newly hired employees will be eligible to receive full pay for
scheduled holidays, without a waiting period.
E. Bereavement Leave
Bereavement leave shall be defined as "the necessary absence from duty by an
employee because of the death or terminal illness in his/her immediate family."
Unit members shall be entitled to forty (40) hours of bereavement leave per
calendar year per incident (terminal illness followed by death is considered one
incident). Bereavement leave shall be administered in accordance with the
provisions of the Employee Policy Manual. Leave hours need not be used
consecutively, but should occur in proximate time to the occurrence. For the
purposes of this section, immediate family shall mean an employee's father,
mother, stepfather, stepmother, brother, sister, spouse/domestic partner, child,
stepchild, grandparents and the employee's spouse's/domestic partner's father,
mother, brother, sister, child and grandparents. The provisions of this Section shall
not diminish or reduce any rights a member may have pursuant to applicable
provisions of State or Federal law. An employee requesting bereavement leave
shall notify his/her supervisor as soon as possible of the need to take leave.
F. Leave Sellback
During calendar year 2019, employees shall have the option (on two occasions) of
selling back on an hour for hour basis, accrued Flex or Vacation leave. In no event
shall the Flex or Vacation leave balance be reduced below one hundred and sixty
(160) hours. Hours sold back will be subject to the Retiree Health Savings Plan
Part C contributions, per Section 4 (E), Retiree Medical. For the term of this MOU
the Assocnati ORLeague has elected Part C contributions for Flex/Vacation at 0%.
Effective in calendar year 2020 and thereafter, employees shall have the option of
converting accrued Flex Leave to cash on an hour for hour basis subject to the
following: On or before the pay period which includes December 15 of each
calendar year, an employee may make an irrevocable election to cash out accrued
flex leave which will be earned in the following calendar year. The employee can
elect to receive the cash out in the pay period which includes June 30 and/or the
pay period which includes December 15 for those Flex Leave benefits that have
been earned during that portion of the year. In no event shall the flex leave balance
be reduced below one hundred and sixty (160) hours. On or before December 31,
2019, each employee shall have the one-time option of cashing out all or a portion
of Flex Leave benefits credited to his/her account as of that date. However, in no
event shall the flex leave balance be reduced below one hundred and sixty (160)
hours when the leave is cashed out.

INTO
Unit members whose actual start date occurs prior to the first day of the pay period following
City Council approval of this MOU and who elect to opt out of medical coverage offered by the
City because they have provided proof of minimum essential coverage ("MEC') through
another source (other than coverage in the individual market, whether or not obtained through
Covered California) will receive One Thousand Dollars ($1,000) per month in taxable cash
paid bi-weekly. For these same employees, if they elect medical coverage and spend less
than the City contribution provided above, those unused cafeteria plan funds shall be paid to
the employee as taxable cash biweekly.
Newly appointed unit members whose actual start date occurs on or after the first day of the
pay period following City Council approval of this MOU and who elect to opt out of medical
coverage offered by the City because they have provided proof of MEC through another
source (other than coverage in the individual market, whether or not obtained through Covered
California) shall receive Five Hundred Dollars ($500) per month in taxable cash paid biweekly.
For these same employees, if they elect medical coverage and spend less than the City
contribution provided above, there shall be no cash back provided.

as a full-time employee into the League until on or after MOU adoption — this
employee is subject to the $500 opt -out amount and does not receive cash back if
the medical coverage elected is less than the City contribution.
2. Full-time employee hired by the City prior to MOU adoption who later drops down
to part-time and then is reappointed to the unit as a full-time employee — this
employee is subject to the $500 opt -out amount and does not receive cash back if
the medical coverage elected is less than the City contribution.
3. Full-time employee hired by the City prior to MOU adoption who later transfers
into the unit from another unit — if the employee was not subject to the $500 opt -out
amount and/or no cash back in the unit from which they are transferring, they will
receive the benefit of $1,000 opt -out and/or cash back if the medical coverage
elected is less than the City contribution.
On or before July 1, 2023, at the request of either party, the parties shall meet and confer in
15

2. Employee Contributions
The NBEL has agreed to share in the rising cost of pension obligations.
Under the terms of this MOU, unit members will contribute additional
amounts toward the PERS retirement benefit, to the extent permissible by
law. Should any provision be deemed invalid, the City and NBEL agree to
meet for the purpose of renegotiating employee retirement contributions.
Employees in each Tier contribute 13% of pensionable pay toward the
retirement benefit.
Employee retirement contributions that are in addition to the normal PERS
Member Contribution (of 7% or 8%) shall be calculated on base pay, special
pays, and other pays normally reported as "PERSable" compensation, and
will be made on a pre-tax basis through payroll deduction, to the extent
allowable by law. It is recognized that these payments will not be reported
to PERS as contributions toward either the Member or Employer rate, as
provided under GC Section 20516(f).
Tier I Employees shall pay their eight percent (8%) (compensation
earnable) member contribution, 2.42% compensation earnable (as cost
sharing) per Government Code section 20516(a) and 2.58% compensation
earnable (as cost sharing) per Government Code section 20516(f).

subject to the provisions of the (PEPRA) and equals 50% of the "total normal
cost".
Tier 3 employees shall make an additional contribution of pensionable
compensation toward retirement pursuant to Government Code Section
20516(f), for a total employee contribution of 13% of pensionable
compensation.

Retiree MedoGal Benef4
E. Retiree Medical Benefit
This is an Integral Part Trust (IPT) RHS Retiree Health Savings (RHS) plan (formerly the Medical
Expense Reimbursement Program - "MERP'). Each member has an individual RHS account
("Account'), which accumulates based on the category they fall under. Funds from the Account may
be used for eligible health care expenses after separation, retirement or a change in personnel
status to a position that does not receive the RHS benefit. These changes in personnel status will
activate the Account and allow funds to be withdrawn until the Account balance is depleted.
Since the plan restricts all distributions to be spent for health insurance premiums and
health care expenses, as defined by the Internal Revenue Code Publication 502, § 213(d) and
the Plan document the contributions, fund investment earnings and benefit payments (when
withdrawn from the Account) are not taxable when posted. Additionally, certain contributions may
only be deposited upon retirement from the City. The categories are provided below.
1. Background
In 2005, the City and NBCEA agreed to replace the previous "defined benefit" retiree medical
program with a new "defined contribution" program. The process of fully converting to the new
program is ongoing for an extended period. During the transition, employees and (then) existing
retirees were administratively classified into different categories. The benefit is structured differently
for each of the categories. The categories are as follows:
a. Category 1 - Employees who become eligible for the benefit after January 1, 2006. This may
include new hires, rehires and part-time employees appointing to full-time status.
b. Cate -gory - Employees who were active and enrolled in the previous defined benefit as of
December 31, 2005, eligible for the new defined contribution program as of January 1, 2006 and
whose age plus years of service as of January 1, 2006 was less than 50.
C. Category- Employees who were active and enrolled in the previous defined benefit as of
December 31, 2005, eligible for the new defined contribution program as of January 1, 2006 and
whose age plus years of service as of January 1, 2006 was 50 or greater.
2. Eligibility
All League members are eligible for the RHS benefit. However, if a member separates or changes
positions to a bargaining unit which does not offer this benefit, the member is no longer eligible for
any contributions to the plan and their Account will be activated for use and withdrawal of funds by
the employee (or former employee). This means if a unit member subsequently reappoints to a
position which offers the RHS benefit, they will be enrolled in "Category I" and must revest in the
18
Newport Beach Employees League 2019-21
13-26
program. Any remaining balance deposited during prior eligibility will remain in the Account.
Employees who become ineligible (no longer covered by a City employee association, union or plan
offering the RHS benefit) before vesting forfeit the City's Part B contribution. Said employee will only
receive Part A and Part C contributions. The only exception is an active employee who separates
before vesting due to an approved industrial disability. In such case, the employee will receive exactly
five years' worth of Part B contributions, using the employee's age and compensation at the time of
separation for calculation purposes. This amount will be deposited into the employee's Account at
the time of separation.
3. Account Contributions
Account contributions are categorized as Part A, Part B and Part C.
Part A contributions are a mandatory, automatic I% employee contribution deducted each pay period
and deposited into the Account through payroll. Deductions begin the pay period in which the
employee becomes eligible and are reported to CalPERS as pensionable.
Part B contributions require a five year vesting period which begins when the employee becomes
eligible for the RHS benefit. At the conclusion of the vesting period, the City will credit the first five
years' worth of Part B contributions into the Account (interest does not accrue during that period and
the contributions are calculated at $2.50 per month for each year of the employee's full-time service
plus age) and begin to contribute $2.50 per month for each year of the employee's full-time service
plus age (e.g. 30 years old and five years of service would be a factor of 35. $2.50 x 35 = $87.50 per
month). This factor is updated annually in the pay period including January 1. Part B contributions
are not reported to CalPERS as pensionable.
The parties agree that the City's Part B contributions during active employment constitute the
minimum CalPERS participating employer's contribution (i.e., the CalPERS statutory minimum
amount) towards medical insurance after retirement. The parties also agree that, for retirees selecting
a CalPERS medical plan, or any other plan with a similar employer contribution requirement, the
required employer contribution will be deducted from the employer's contribution to the retiree's
account.
Part C contributions are determined by League election and deposited into the Account when flex
leave hours are converted to taxable cash through leave cash -out or at the time of separation or
status change. Spillover pay does not qualify for Part C contributions. Part C contributions are not
reported to CalPERS as pensionable.
The Association determines the level of contribution for all unit members, subject to the following
constraints. All employees within the Association must participate at the same level. The participation
level shall be specified as a percentage of the flex leave balance available in each employee's leave
19
Newport Beach Employees League 2019-21
13-27
bank at the time of separation from the City, or status change, or as a percentage of the flex leave
balance being cashed out.
For example, if the Association wishes to elect 30% Part C contributions, then each member leaving
the City, or cashing out eligible leave at any other time, would have the cash equivalent of 30% of
the amount that is cashed out deposited to their RHS Account on a pre-tax basis. The remaining
70% would be paid in cash as taxable income. Individual employees do not have the option to deviate
from this breakout.
The Association may change the Part C contribution amount as part of a meet and confer process.
The purpose and focus of these changes should be toward long-term, trend type adjustments. Due
to IRS restrictions regarding "constructive receipt, " the City will impose restrictions against frequent
spikes or drops that appear to be tailored toward satisfying the desires of a group of imminent
retirees.
The Association has decided to participate in Part C contributions at the level of zero percent (0%)
flex leave.
Nothing in this section restricts taking leave for time off purposes.
4. Benefit
a. Category 1: Employees in this category make Part A and receive Part B contributions
(subject to vesting) automatically each pay period through payroll deductions. Part C contributions
are received through cash outs. No contributions are made to Category 1 participants after
separation.
b. Category 2: Employees in this category make Part A and receive Part B contributions
(subject to vesting) automatically each pay period through payroll deductions. Part C contributions
are received through cash outs. No contributions are made to Category 2 participants after
separation.
If a Category 2 participant retires from the City with a minimum of 5 consecutive years of full-time
service, the City will contribute to the participant's Account a one-time contribution equal to $100 per
month for every month the participant contributed to the previous "defined benefit" plan up to a
maximum of 15 years (180 months). This contribution is deposited into the Account at the time of
retirement, and only if the employee retires from the City and becomes a Ca1PERS annuitant of the
City of Newport Beach. No interest will be earned in the interim.
Category 2 participants with less than five years of continuous contributions into the prior defined
benefit plan as of January 1, 2006: only the years of service after January 1, 2006 count towards
20
Newport Beach Employees League 2019-21
13-28
Part B contributions upon vesting. Contributions in years before 2006 will be paid out as stated in the
above paragraph.
C. Category 3: Employees in this category make Part A contributions automatically each pay
period through payroll deductions. Category 3 participants do not receive any Part B contributions.
Part C contributions are received through cash outs.
If an eligible Category 3 participant retires from the City of Newport Beach, the City will deposit $400
per month into the Account upon retirement, up to a maximum of $4,800 per year, less the Ca/PERS
minimum required employer contribution as determined by Ca1PERS annually, which shall continue
as long as the employee or surviving spouse/qualified dependent is still living. To offset this expense
to the City, active Category 3 participants will contribute an additional $100 per month to the plan
until retirement. There is no cash out option for these funds and they cannot be spent in advance of
receipt.
Category 3 participants also receive an additional one-time City contribution of $75 per month
for every month they contributed to the previous plan prior to January 1, 2006, up to a maximum of
15 years (180 months). This contribution is deposited into the Account at the time of retirement, and
only if the employee retires from the City. No interest will be earned in the interim. Contributions are
contingent upon remaining a Ca1PERS annuitant of the City.

Vendors have been selected by the City to administer the program. The contract
expense for program -wide administration by the vendor will be paid by the City.
21
Newport Beach Employees League 2019-21
13-33
However, specific vendor charges for individual account transactions that vary
according to the investment actions taken by each employee, such as fees or
commissions for trades, will be paid by each employee.
The City's Deferred Compensation Committee, or its successor committee, will have
the authority to determine investment options that will be available through the plan.
F_G. Tuition Reimbursement
NBEL members attending accredited community colleges, colleges, trade schools
or universities, or recognized professional organizations or agencies, may apply
for reimbursement of one hundred percent (100%) of the actual cost of tuition,
books, fees or other student expenses for approved job—related courses,
seminars, or professional development programs. Maximum tuition reimbursement
for employees shall be $1,500 per fiscal year. Reimbursement is contingent upon
the successful completion of the course. Successful completion means a gradeof
"C" or better for undergraduate courses and a grade of "B" or better for graduate
courses.
All claims for tuition reimbursement require the approval of the Human Resources
Director or designee.
G -.H. Deferred Comaensation
Each employee shall have the right to enroll in the deferred compensation program
set up by the City and subject to the rules of IRS Code section 457. For each
employee who enrolls in the deferred compensation program, the City shall
contribute to each employee's deferred compensation account as follows: Effective
the first day of the pay period which includes January 1, 2020, the City shall
contribute twenty five dollars ($25) per month to each enrolled employee's deferred
compensation account if the employee contributes at least twenty five dollars ($25)
per month towards his/her deferred compensation account. The City is only
obligated to make the contribution to an employee's deferred compensation
account if the employee has enrolled in the deferred compensation program.
Under federal law, there is an annual maximum contribution which may be made
to an employee's IRS Code section 457 account. Although the City will be making
contributions to employees' accounts each pay period, it is the employees'
responsibility to track their total contribution amount. If an employee's account
contributions reach the annual 457 maximum, the City will stop making
contributions for the remainder of the calendar year and will not owe the employee
any additional compensation related to this section.
SECTION 5. MiscellaneousMorking Conditions
A. Reductions in Force/Layoffs
22
Newport Beach Employees League 2019-21
13-34
The provisions of this section shall apply when the City Manager determines that
a reduction in the work force is warranted because of actual or anticipated
reductions in revenue, reorganization of the work force, a reduction in municipal
services, a reduction in the demand for service or other reasons unrelated to the
performance of duties by any specific employee. Reductions in force are to be
accomplished, to the extent feasible, on the basis of seniority within a particular
Classification or Series and this Section should be interpreted accordingly.
DEFINITIONS
"Layoffs" or "Laid Off" shall mean the non -disciplinary termination or
employment.
2. "Seniority" shall mean the time an employee has worked in a Classification
or Series calculated from the date on which the employee was firstgranted
regular status in the current Classification or any Classification within the
Series, subject to the following:
(a) Credit shall be given only for continuous service subsequent to the
most recent appointment to regular status in the Classification or
Series; and
(b) Seniority shall include time spent on industrial leave, military leave,
and leave of absence without pay, but shall not include time spent
on any other authorized or unauthorized leave of absence.
3. "Classification" shall mean one or more full time positions identical or similar
in duties not including part-time, seasonal or temporary positions.
Classifications within a Series shall be ranked according to pay (lowest
ranking, lowest pay).
4. "Series" shall mean two or more classifications within a Department which
require the performance of similar duties with the higher ranking
classification (s) characterized by the need for less supervision by superiors,
more difficult assignments and more supervisory responsibilities for
subordinates. The City Manager shall determine those classifications
following a meet and consult process which constitute a Series.
5. "Bumping Rights", "Bumping" or "Bump" shall mean (1) the right of an
employee, based upon seniority within a series to bump into a lower ranking
classification within the same series, (2) to be followed by, an employee
being permitted to bump into a classification within a different series. The
latter bumping shall be based upon unit wide seniority and shall be limited
to a classification in which the employee previously held regular status.
23
Newport Beach Employees League 2019-21
13-35
No employee shall have the right to bump into a classification forwhich the
employee does not possess the minimum qualifications such as specialized
education, training or experience.
PROCEDURE
The General Services Division within the Municipal Operations Department will
select employees for layoff by straight seniority department wide. This means
department management has total control of position elimination and personnel
reassignment within ranks, but the layoffs shall be on a straight forward "last hired -
first fired" basis.
The layoff system for the Utilities Division shall operate the same department -wide
seniority as does the General Services Division, with the exception of the Electrical
and Telecommunications sections. Because of the highly specialized skills and
training of the personnel in these sections, these sections shall be treated as
unique and individual unto themselves.
In the event the City Manager determines to reduce the number of employees
within a classification, the following procedures are applicable:
1. Temporary and probationary employees within any classification shall, in
that order, be laid off before permanent employees.
2. Employees within a classification shall be laid off in inverse order of
seniority.
3. An employee subject to layoff in one classification shall have the right to
bump a less senior employee in a lower ranking classification within a
series. An employee who has bumping rights shall notify the Department
Director within three (3) working days after notice of layoff of his/her
intention to exercise bumping rights.
4. In the event two or more employees in the same classification are subject

by a group of employees, or by the NBEL. The Grievance Procedure is the sole
and exclusive method by which an employee or the NBEL may challenge a
provision of this MOU.
A grievance shall be brought to the attention of the immediate supervisor for
discussion within ten (10) business days after an employee or NBEL Board
member knew, or in the exercise of reasonable diligence should have known, the
act or events upon which the grievance is based. If the Employee or the NBEL (if
filed by the NBEL) is not satisfied with the decision reached through the informal
discussion or if extenuating circumstances exist, the Employee or NBEL shall have
the right to file a formal grievance in accordance with Step 2 of this section.
Grievances not presented within the time period shall be considered resolved.
The supervisor shall meet with the grievant to settle grievance and give a written
answer to the grievant within seven (7) business days from receipt of the grievance
by the supervisor. When the immediate supervisor is also the department head the
grievance shall be presented in Step 2.
Step 2: If the employee or the NBEL (if filed by the NBEL) is not in agreement with
the decision rendered in Step 1, the grievant shall have the right to present a formal
27
Newport Beach Employees League 2019-21
13-39
grievance to the Department Director within ten (10) business days after the
discussion in Step 1. The right to file a grievance petition shall be waived in the
event the Employee or NBEL fails to file a formal grievance within ten (10) business
days after the occurrence of the incident that forms the basis of the grievance. All
formal grievances shall be submitted on the form prescribed by the Human
Resources Director and no formal grievance shall be accepted until the form is
complete. The formal grievance shall contain a clear, concise statement of the
grievance, the facts upon which the grievance is based, the rule, regulation or
policy the interpretation of which is involved in the grievance, and the specific
remedy or remedies sought by the grievant. The Department Director should
render a written decision within ten (10) business days after receipt of the formal
grievance.
Step 3: If the formal grievance has not been satisfactorily adjusted in Step 2, it may
be appealed to the City Manager or designee within ten (10) business days after
the Employee receives the decision. The City Manager or designee may accept or
reject the decision of the Department Director and shall render a written decision
within ten (10) business days after conducting a grievance hearing. The decision
of the City Manager or designee shall be final and conclusive. If mutually
agreeable, a meeting may be conducted involving all affected parties at any step
in the grievance procedure prior to a decision. The City Manager or designee may
delegate uninvolved Department Directors to act on behalf of the City Manager to
provide findings and recommendations. The findings and recommendations of the
uninvolved Department Directors are advisory only and the City Manager's or
designee's decision shall be final.
Time Limits: Grievances shall be processed from one step to the next within the
time limit indicated for each step. Time limits shall be strictly enforced. Any time
limits established can be waived or extended only by mutual agreement confirmed
in writing. Any grievance not carried to the next step by the Employee or NBEL
within the prescribed time limit shall be deemed resolved upon the basis of the
previous decision.
A grievance may also be filed and appealed to the 3rd step of the grievance
procedure for performance evaluations and written reprimands.
H. Probationary Period
Newly hired employees shall serve a twelve (12) month probationary period. The
probationary period for promoted employees shall be six (6) months.

the City at any time without right of appeal or hearing, except as provided in
Subsection 3, below.
2. Promotional Probation
(a) An employee on promotional probation may be failed at any time
without right of appeal or hearing, except as provided in Subsection
3, below, and except that failing an employee on promotional
probation must not be arbitrary, capricious or unreasonable.
(b) An employee who fails promotional probation shall receive a
performance evaluation stating the reason for failure of promotional
probation.
(c) When an employee fails his or her promotional probation, the
employee shall have the right to return to his or her former class

returned to his or her former class, the employee shall serve the
remainder of any uncompleted probationary period in the former
class.
(d) If the employee's former class has been deleted or abolished, the
employee shall have the right to return to a class in his or her former
occupational series closest to, but no higher than, the salary range
of the class which the employee occupied immediately prior to

An employee who alleges that his or her probationary release was based
on discrimination by the City, may submit a grievance within ten (10) days
after receipt of the Notice of Failure of Probation.

Newport Beach Employees League 2019-21
13-41
vehicle accident review board will evaluate the supervisor's field report prior to
making its preventable/non-preventable determination.
K. Safety Shoes
If the City determines that an employee in the bargaining unit is required to wear
safety shoes, the employee shall be provided with a voucher (annually) which
enables the employee to purchase safety shoes from the City's vendor for safety
shoes. The City has identified certain safety shoe styles for which it will pay (as of
1/1/19 the maximum the City will pay is $172.80). If the cost of the particular safety
shoe styles (for which the City will pay) increases, the amount the City will pay will
increase (by the increased cost of those styles of shoes).
If the soles of the safety shoes wear out within a year, the employee should present
the shoes to his/her supervisor. If the supervisor agrees that the soles are worn
out, he/she will authorize the employee to purchase a new pair of shoes at City
expense. If the supervisor judges that the uppers are in good condition, he will
authorize the employee to have the shoes resoled at City expense.
L. Uniforms
It shall be understood by the NBEL and its members that employees who report
for work either "out of uniform" or in "dirty" or "otherwise substandard" uniforms will
be sent home without additional prior notice and without pay. Such incidents shall
further be documented and regularly repeated violations of the uniform standards
will subject the employee to progressive discipline up to and including dismissal
for negligence and/or misconduct.
Employees represented by the NBEL will be permitted to wear specified and
approved shorts as part of the City approved optional uniform. The shorts must be
dark blue in color, the inseam must be no less than 4 and 1/2 inches after
shrinkage. They must be worn in combination with the standard City uniform shirt
of the optional (golf style) City uniform shirt, and they must be worn with either
white or blue socks. The optional uniform shall be considered proper and
acceptable year round. Department Directors may make individual exceptions to
this optional uniform agreement through the establishment of Departmental Policy
in the interest of reasonable safety considerations.
PERS Reporting of Uniform Allowance - To the extent permitted by law, the City
shall report to the California Public Employees' Retirement System (CaIPERS) the
uniform allowance of $95 per year for classifications who receive a uniform as
special compensation in accordance with Title 2, California Code of Regulation,
Section 571(a)(5). Notwithstanding the previous sentence, for "new members" as
defined by the Public Employees' Pension Reform Act of 2013, the uniform
allowance will not be reported as pensionable compensation to CalPERS.

of their shift and another rest period of fifteen (15) minutes during the second half
of their shift. Rest periods should be taken as close to mid shift as is possible.
Such rest periods shall be scheduled in accordance with the requirements of the
Department, but in no case shall rest periods be scheduled within one (1) hour of
the beginning or the ending of a work shift or lunch period. The City may designate
the location or locations at which rest periods may be taken.
Rest periods shall be considered hours worked and employees may be required to
perform duties, if necessary.
Q. Service Awards

employed by the City on more than one occasion, non-consecutive time will be
considered as part of total service. An employee is required to individually notify
the awards committee of all of the service time.
