Regards: Contract Adjustments Acknowledging Past and Current Practice
Items:
Article XI - Annual Vacation Leave, Section 10.
"Vacation charges and credits shall be charged to the nearest fu4 half hour."
Article XII - Sick Leave, Section 8.
"Sick leave charges and credits shall be charged to the nearest fu4 half hour."

above the $2-98 $250 shall be paid by the Employee."
Explanation:
Annual/Sick/Comp: Past Practice and current practice for years has been employees rounding to the nearest
half hour, not full hour. This mistake was noticed in the contract in October and both the City and Union have a
desire for the contract language and practice to be the same and clear.
Boot Allowance: The Boot Allowance was increased to $250 during the 2021 fiscal package of the 2020-2023
Collective Bargaining Agreement during the session concluded on July 26, 2021 at 3:55pm. MOU attached. This
update fully clarifies the language that should have been updated back in 2021.
This MOU is tied to the Collective Bargaining Agreement dated 2023-2026 as it modifies specific language
present in that document. This MOU will dissolve when the language is either left static or re -negotiated in
2026.
This MOU does not modify any portions of the CBA unless specifically noted above; and all provisions remain
in effect as negotiated.
