employee's absence from work.
65.6 Employee grievances submitted by UNION to ANAHEIM shall be handled in the
following manner:
65.6.1 Step I. An attempt shall be made to adjust all grievances on an
informal basis between the employee, his/her UNION representative,
and a supervisor in the employee's chain of command, up to and
including his/her Division Head, within ten (10) working days after the
occurrence of the incident involved in the grievance. The Division
Head shall deliver his/her answer within ten (10) working days after
conducting the Step I meeting. Grievances resulting from the actions
of a department other than an employee's work unit shall be heard by
an appropriate Administrative Manager from that department.
65.6.2 Step II. If the grievance is not adjusted to the satisfaction of the
UNION in Step I, it shall be submitted in writing to the employee's
Department Head or his/her designated representative within ten (10)
working days after the Step I answer is received by UNION. The
Department Head or his/her designated representative shall meet with
the employee and his/her UNION representative within ten (10)
working days after submission of the grievance to him/her. The
Department Head or his/her designated representative shall review
the grievance and may affirm, reverse, or modify as deemed
appropriate, the disposition made at Step I and the Step II answer
shall be delivered to the UNION within ten (10) working days after
said meeting.
65.6.3 Step III. If the UNION is not satisfied with the Step II answer, it shall
be submitted to an impartial arbitrator for a final and binding decision
(or, if the Anaheim City Manager and the UNION agree, it shall be
submitted to the Anaheim City Manager for a final and binding
decision.) Such submission must occur within thirty (30) days after
the Step II answer is received.
65.6.4 If submitted to the City Manager, the City Manager or. his/her assistant
shall meet with the employee and his/her UNION representative within
ten (10) working days after submission of the grievance to him/her.
The City Manager or his/her assistant may affirm, reverse, or modify
as deemed appropriate, the disposition made at Step II. The City
Manager or his/her assistant shall deliver his/her decision to the
UNION within ten (10) working days after said meeting, and such
decision shall be final and binding on both parties.
65.7 In order to proceed to arbitration, either ANAHEIM or UNION shall serve written
notice to the other party specifying the grievance to be submitted.
65.7.1 Such written notice must be submitted no later than thirty (30)
calendar days after the Step 11 answer is received by the other party.
65.7.2 ANAHEIM and UNION shall, thereafter, attempt to resolve the issue
and select an impartial arbitrator. If an arbitrator cannot be agreed
upon, ANAHEIM and UNION shall request a panel from the American
Arbitration Association or any other mutually agreed upon provider. If
ANAHEIM and/or UNION fails to submit jointly, or separately, the
issue to the agreed upon arbitrator, the American Arbitration
Association or any other mutually agreed upon provider within thirty
(30) calendar days after the written notice to proceed to arbitration is
received, then either ANAHEIM or UNION may take action to compel
arbitration. Failure to take action to compel arbitration within sixty (60)
calendar days after written notice to the other party specifying the
grievance to be submitted will conclusively be deemed abandonment
of the right to compel arbitration.

agreed that the arbitrator shall have no powers to add to or subtract from, nor to
modify any of the terms of any MOU between ANAHEIM and the UNION and that

Ordinances and Charter of ANAHEIM, and the laws and Constitution of the State
of California.

as quickly as possible but in no event later than thirty (30) calendar days after the
conclusion of the hearings, unless the parties agree otherwise.
65.10 Any grievance not presented and/or carried forward by UNION within the time
limits specified in this ARTICLE shall be deemed null and void, provided,
however, UNION and ANAHEIM may agree to continue said time limits.
65.10.1 Any Step I or Step II answer not provided by ANAHEIM to UNION
within the time limits specified in ARTICLES 65.6.1 and 65.6.2 above
shall be deemed a waiver by CITY of Step I or Step II of the grievance
process; however, UNION and ANAHEIM may agree to continue said
time limits. Upon waiver by ANAHEIM of Step I or Step II, UNION
may submit the grievance for consideration at the next step.
65.11 Any adoption, deletion, or revision of ANAHEIM policy as may be suggested or
recommended by an employee or employee organization shall not be considered
to be a matter subject to review through the grievance procedure.
65.12 An employee who has been suspended, demoted, or dismissed may be
reinstated to his/her position as a result of a successful appeal through the
grievance procedure. In the event of such reinstatement, the employee shall be
returned to his/her former status of employment, including reinstatement of
seniority and accrued fringe benefits. In such cases, the City Manager may order
the payment of back pay to a reinstated employee in any amount up to payment
for the full period of time involved. In implementing an arbitrator's award, the City
Manager shall order the payment of back pay to a reinstated employee in the
amount provided in the arbitrator's award. It shall be conclusively presumed that
there is no award of back pay to a reinstated employee unless specifically set
forth in the written order of the City Manager. Any earnings of the reinstated
59
employee from other employment during his/her period of suspension shall be
deducted from the amount of back pay ordered by the City Manager.

retirement benefits to be effective on or before

ARTICLE 67 - POST RETIREMENT MEDICAL BENEFITS
67.1 ANAHEIM agrees to continue sponsorship of the Retired Employee Insurance
Program through September 30, 2005. Retired employees who are receiving a
post-retirement medical benefit from ANAHEIM on September 30, 2005 shall
continue to receive such benefit from ANAHEIM in accordance with the
provisions of the MOU between ANAHEIM and UNION that was in effect at the
time of their retirement. Employees who retire on or after October 1, 2005 shall
become entitled to post-retirement medical benefits solely through and under the
terms of a Trust Fund established and maintained by the UNION.
67.2 UNION shall establish a Trust to be effective no later than October 1, 2005. The
terms and conditions of the City's agreement to the Trust are set forth in a Letter
of Understanding dated August 12, 2005. The following terms and conditions
provide an overview of the Agreement, but are not meant as a substitute for the
Agreement. If any of the provisions of the following overview are inconsistent
with the terms of the Letter of Understanding, the language of the Letter of
Understanding shall prevail.
67.3 UNION shall assume all responsibility and liability for post-retirement medical
benefits for all active employees of ANAHEIM employed in classifications for
which the UNION is the recognized employee representative ("UNION active
employees") and their eligible dependents, spouses, and registered domestic
partners who separate from ANAHEIM service on or after October 1, 2005. The
UNION shall defend, indemnify, and hold ANAHEIM harmless from any legal
action or claims arising from any breach of this agreement by the Trust or the
UNION, or failure by the Trust to fulfill its fiduciary responsibilities.
67.4 ANAHEIM shall have the right to audit the Trust on a periodic basis as
determined by the City. The Trust shall cooperate fully with any audit, and,
except to the extent limited by law, shall make all records available for inspection
and review. ANAHEIM shall pay for any audit conducted under this Section.
67.5 The Trust shall be responsible for determining benefit eligibility and benefit
schedules. The Trust shall inform ANAHEIM of the eligibility and benefit
schedules it adopts effective October 1, 2005, and shall provide written notice to
ANAHEIM whenever eligibility or benefit schedules may be modified.
67.6 On October 1, 2005, or as soon thereafter as the UNION notifies ANAHEIM that
the Trust is established, ANAHEIM shall remit to the Trust that portion of the
Post -Retirement Medical Reserves that has been set aside for employees in
classifications represented by the UNION. The designated reserves shall be
T
apportioned between ANAHEIM and the Trust such that the same portion of
assets based on plan liabilities shall be allocated to retired employees receiving
Post -Retirement Medical benefits on September 30, 2005, and to those active
employees hired prior to January 1, 2002 who are employed on September 30,
2005.
67.7 ANAHEIM and UNION agree that the Trust shall be funded by ongoing
contributions from employees and ANAHEIM.
67.7.1 Effective the first pay period following October 1, 2005, ANAHEIM
shall contribute and remit to the Trust four percent (4%) of active
UNION employee gross compensation, less the amount necessary to
offset and amortize ANAHEIM's actuarially determined unfunded
liabilities for those UNION retirees who are receiving a post-retirement
medical benefit from ANAHEIM, which amount shall be retained by
ANAHEIM. ANAHEIM and UNION agree that if the Trust is not
established on October 1, 2005, ANAHEIM will set aside amounts
required by this Section. Upon notification by the UNION that Trust is
established, ANAHEIM shall remit all amounts set aside.
67.7.2 Effective December 26, 2008, ANAHEIM shall remit to the Trust five
percent (5%) of active UNION employee gross compensation, less the
amount necessary to offset and amortize ANAHEIM's actuarially
determined unfunded liabilities for those retirees who are receiving a
post-retirement medical benefit from ANAHEIM, which amounts shall
be retained by ANAHEIM. This Post -Retirement Medical Benefit
contribution shall not be reduced to less than one-half percent (112%)
of active UNION employee gross compensation.
67.7.3 The parties further agreed that in addition to ANAHEIM's contribution
set forth above, ANAHEIM shall withhold four percent (4%) of each
employee's base biweekly compensation, and remit those funds to the
Trust.
67.7.4 For the fiscal year ending June 30, 2006, and every two (2) years
thereafter, ANAHEIM shall conduct an actuarial valuation of
ANAHEIM's Post -Retirement Medical liabilities. The valuation shall
include an estimate of the percentage of UNION gross payroll
required to amortize ANAHEIM's actuarially determined unfunded
liabilities for those UNION retirees who are receiving a post-retirement
medical benefit from ANAHEIM to June 30, 2036.
67.8 UNION may at any time direct ANAHEIM to modify the percentage withheld from
UNION active employees as the employee contribution to the Trust in lieu of the
percentage set forth herein. Such changes will be effective the first day of the
payroll period following receipt of written authorization. No such authorization
shall affect ANAHEIM's contribution to the UNION Trust.
67.9 Effective October 1, 2005, those active UNION employees enrolled in the City's
mandatory Retired Health Savings plan (hired on or after January 1, 2002) will
67
be transferred to the UNION Trust. ANAHEIM will convert the mandatory plan to
a voluntary plan in which all employees may participate.
