The Union shall be notified in advance of any contemplated changes in classification <br />descriptions and such changes shall be subject to the meet and confer process during the term of this <br />Memorandum of Understanding. If the Union and the City cannot reach agreement on the appropriate pay <br />level for a job so reclassified, the classification description shall revert to its former status. A worker <br />required to perform duties outside of his/her job classification shall be compensated in accordance with the <br />provision of Article 15.11. <br /> <br />12.3 During the window period of the months of September and October, a worker may request in writing a <br />reevaluation of his/her job based on significant changes in job content or significant discrepancies between <br />job content and the classification description. <br /> <br />The City will issue a determination on any reclassification request within ninety (90) calendar days from the <br />receipt of the request, however this timeline may be extended at the mutual consent of the City and the <br />Union. If meetings are held to discuss the requested reevaluation, the worker may request representation <br />by the Union. The City shall not agree to a change in the appropriate pay level for a job description until the <br />Union has received a copy of the proposed change and has been given the opportunity to meet and confer <br />with the City. <br /> <br />Unless otherwise extended by mutual agreement, in the event the an amendment to the classification & <br />salary plan requiring Council action is not required, the meet and confer process shall begin no later than <br />ninety (90) calendar days following the City's initial receipt of the reclassification request. Upon agreement, <br />any changes determined will become effective the first pay period following such agreement, or upon the <br />ninety-first (91st) calendar day following the City's initial receipt of the reclassification request, whichever <br />occurs first. In the event that an amendment to the classification & salary plan requiring Council action is <br />recommended, changes will be subject to Council approval and will be effective the first pay period following <br />Council approval. If Council action is required, the City will meet and confer with the Union over the <br />recommended changes within one hundred twenty (120) calendar days following the City’s initial receipt of <br />the reclassification request. The City shall bring the recommendation to Council within thirty (30) days of the <br />conclusion of the meet and confer process. <br /> <br />12.4 The parties agree that the City retains its right to create new positions and that this Article 12 shall not apply <br />to such newly created positions. Newly created positions shall be posted for filling by competitive process. <br /> <br /> <br />ARTICLE 13 - DISCIPLINE <br />6.3.B. - Page 26
