<br />ARTICLE 5 <br /> <br />OFFICIAL REPRESENTATIVES <br /> <br />A maximum of four (4) Association representative unit members shall be allowed concurrent time off without <br />loss of compensation to represent the Association in the meet and confer process. The Association shall <br />, submit the names of these unit representatives to the Human Resources Director at least two (2) working <br />days prior to scheduled meet and confer sessions, and the representatives shall advise their supervisors in <br />advance prior to leaving their work assignments to attend such meetings. <br /> <br />ARTICLE 6 <br /> <br />LAYOFF AND RE.EMPLOYMENT <br /> <br />6.1 <br /> <br />Layoff <br /> <br />Whenever in the judgment of the City Council it becomes necessary in the interest of economy or because <br />the position involved no longer exists, the City Council may abolish any position or employment in the <br />competitive service, and the employee holding such position or employment may be laid off without the <br />filing of written charges. Any appointing power may likewise layoff a regular employee whenever lack of <br />work or lack of funds requires a reduction in the number of employees. <br /> <br />6.2 <br /> <br />Notification of Layoff <br /> <br />The City shall notify the Association no less than fifteen (15) working days prior to any employee being laid <br />off. Upon written request of the Association to the Human Resources Director, the City will meet to discuss <br />the conditions causing the layoff and the impact upon classifications in the bargaining unit. Such <br />discussions shall be without recourse to the grievance procedure. <br /> <br />6.3 <br /> <br />Order of Layoff <br /> <br />In the event of a reduction in force, bargaining unit members with the shortest length of service in the <br />classifications affected shall be laid off first. If two employees have equal length of service in a <br />classification, the order of seniority shall be determined by standing on the eligibility list. If two employees <br />have equal length of service in a classification and the same standing on the eligibility list, the order of <br />seniority shall be determined by employment test score. <br /> <br />6.4 <br /> <br />Bumping Rights <br /> <br />Any unit member laid off under the terms of this article may, if he or she so elects, be reassigned to a <br />position in a lateral or lower related classification within the same department which is held by an employee <br />having less service with the City. Such reassignment shall occur only in the event the employee is capable <br />by virtue of prior training and experience to perform the work required. <br /> <br />4 <br />
