cluding his division head, within five (5)
working days after the occurrence of the

in five (5) working days after submission of
the grievance to him.
Second Step. If the grievance is not satis-

be submitted in writing to the employee's
department head within five (5) working days
after the division head's answer is received
by the employee and/or his designated repre-
sentative. The department head shall meet
with the employee and/or his designated repre-
sentative within ten (10) working days after
submission of the grievance to him. The
department head shall review the grievance
and may affirm, reverse, or modify as he deems
appropriate, the disposition made at the First
Step and shall deliver his answer to the
employee and/or his designated representative
within five (5) working days after said meet-
ing.
Third Step. If the grievance is not satis-
factorily adjusted in the Second Step, it
shall be submitted to an impartial arbitrator
for a final and binding decision, or, if the
City Manager and the employee and/or his de-
signated representative agree, it shall be
submitted to the City Manager for a final and
binding decision. Such submission must occur
within thirty (30) days after the department
head's answer is received.

as he deems appropriate, the disposition made
at the Second Step. The City Manager or his
assistant shall deliver his decision to the
employee and/or his designated representative
within five (5) working days after said meet-
ing, and such decision shall be final and
binding on both parties.
In order to request arbitration, either party
shall serve written notice to the other party
specifying the grievance to be submitted. The
parties shall thereafter attempt to resolve
the issue and select the arbitrator. If
such written notification and selection of
the arbitrator is not completed within
thirty (30) days after the department head's
answer is received by the employee and/or
his designated representative, then either
party may take action to compel arbitration.
Failure to take action to compel arbitration
within thirty (30) days will conclusively
be deemed abandonment of the right to compel
arbitration.
All expenses of the arbitration shall be borne
equally by the parties.
The arbitrator's decision shall be final and
binding on both parties, it being agreed that
the arbitrator shall have no powers to add to
or subtract from nor to modify any of the
terms of any memorandum of understanding be-
tween the parties and that the arbitrator's
award shall be consistent with and controlled
by the Personnel Rules, Ordinances and Charter
of the City of Anaheim, and the laws and Con-
stitution of the State of California.
The arbitrator will be requested by the parties
to render his decision in writing as quickly
as possible but in no event later than thirty
(30) days after the conclusion of the hearings,
unless the parties agree otherwise.
31.04 Any grievance not presented and/or carried
forward by the employee and/or his designated
representative within the time limits speci-
fied in Sections 31.01, 31.02 and 31.03 shall
be deemed null and void, provided, however,
the employee and/or his designated representa-
tive and the City representative may agree to
continue said time limits.
Section 31.1 Any alleged violation of the Personnel Ordin-
ance or Personnel Resolution, any alleged improper treatment
of an employee, or any alleged violation of commonly accepted
safety practices and procedures shall be considered to be a
matter subject to review through the grievance procedure.
31.12 No supervisor shall be represented in grievance
matters by an employee whom he may supervise.
Section 31.2 Any adoption, deletion, or revision of City
policy as may be suggested or recommended by any employee
or employee organization shall not be considered to be a
matter subject to review through the grievance procedure."
