violated and explaining the grievance in detail and remedy sought. The
employee and the Union representative shall present the written grievance to the
Division Commander, Human Resources Director, and the Chief of Police who

grievance. The Chief of Police shall make a decision on the matter in writing
within ten (10) working days from such meeting Copies of the Chief's decision

working days whereupon the Mayor shall conduct an investigatory hearing within

elimination shall be determined by flip of coin. The request to AAA shall state the
issue to be decided. The Arbitrator shall confine himself/herself to the precise

Page 21 of 30
issues not so submitted to him/her The Arbitrator shall have jurisdiction and

party paying its own costs. If both parties desire a stenographic record, the
expenses of the same shall be borne equally If only one party desires a
stenographic record then that party shall pay the costs of the preparation of its
own copy and one for the Arbiter and the declining party shall not be a provided a
copy

employee, shall constitute an election of remedies and a waiver of any and all
rights by the appealing employee, Union, and all persons it represents, to litigate
or otherwise contest the appealed subject matter in any court or other available
forum. Likewise, litigation or other contest of the subject matter in any court or
other contest of the subject matter in any court or other available forum shall
constitute an election of remedies and a waiver of the right to arbitrate the matter

stated periods of time by the appropriate parties by mutual agreement in writing.
Pending final decision of any grievance by any of the above procedures, work shall

considered timely The Union or employee shall reduce such grievance to writing as

Section 3. Any grievance that involves or affects a significant portion of the employees
in the bargaining unit may be introduced by the Union in written form to the Chief of
Police as set forth in Step 2 of the grievance procedure, and processed as set forth
therefrom

the Civil Service Commission or continue with the contractual grievance procedure, but
not both. In the event the grievance is unresolved after the Step 1 meeting, the Union
and/or employee shall determine whether to appeal the grievance through the Civil

supervisor Should the employee choose to file an appeal with the Civil Service
