However, if the immediate supervisor has no authority to adjust the issue, the grievance shall be introduced at the next level in the chain of command. 6.3 If the employee or employees or their delegated Guild representative is/are not satisfied with the solution by the supervisor, the grievance, in writing, may be presented within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt from the immediate supervisor to the Department Director who shall attempt to resolve it within (30) thirty calendar days after it has been presented to him or her. It is required that the written statement include the section of the Agreement allegedly violated, the facts, and the remedy sought. 6.4 If the employee or group of employees or their delegated Guild representative is not satisfied with the solution by the Department Director, the grievance, in writing together with all other pertinent material may be presented to the Mayor by the Guild representative, within fifteen (15) calendar days of receipt from the Department Director. 6.5 In the event a grievance is not satisfactorily settled after presentation to the Mayor, the Guild, if it so chooses, may submit the matter to arbitration under the following procedures; provided, however, that a grievance involving a disciplinary action at the level of an Education or Warning may only proceed through the Mayor's review and decision, unless the Employer later relies on any document of an Education or Warning as part of a subsequent disciplinary action against the disciplined employee, at which time the Employer agrees that the Guild may elect to contest any such Education or Warning through arbitration, and the Employer affirms that it will not assert any procedural defenses in processing that matter. A written request for arbitration must be made by the Guild within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of the Mayor's decision. In regard to each case reaching this step, the parties will attempt to agree on an arbitrator to hear and decide the particular case. If the parties are unable to agree on an arbitrator within ten (10) working days of the submission of the written request for arbitration, either party may request a list of nine (9) names from the Public Employment Relations Commission (PERC). An arbitrator shall be selected by alternating strikes, the first strike to be determined by a flip of a coin. The arbitrator shall hold a hearing and accept pertinent evidence submitted by both parties and shall be empowered to request such data as he/she deems pertinent to the grievance. Each party to the proceedings may call such witnesses as may be necessary. Such testimony shall be limited to the matters set forth in the written statement of grievance. The arguments of the parties may be supported by oral comment and rebuttal. The hearing shall be kept private and shall include only the parties in interest and/or their designated representatives and witnesses. 6.6 The arbitrator shall be authorized to rule and issue a decision in writing on the issue presented for arbitration, such decision shall be final and binding on both parties. The arbitrator shall rule only on the basis of information presented in the hearing before him/her and shall refuse to receive any information after the hearing except when there is mutual agreement, and in the presence of both parties. The arbitrator shall have no power to render a decision that will add to, subtract from, or alter, change or modify the terms of this Agreement, and the arbitrator's power shall be limited to interpretation and application of the express terms of this Agreement. The arbitrator's decision shall be made in writing and, if neither party wishes to submit a post -hearing brief, shall be issued to the parties within thirty (30) days after the arbitration hearing. If either or both parties wish to submit post -hearing briefs, said brief(s) may be submitted to the arbitrator on a date agreed upon by the parties or, if they are unable to agree on a date, designated by the arbitrator. If post - hearing briefing is submitted, the arbitrator's written decision shall be issued to the parties within thirty (30) calendar days of submission of the briefs. Each party shall pay any compensation and expenses relating to its AGREEMENT (PATROL OFFICER EMPLOYEES) PAGE 5 OF 24 CITY OF PORT ORCHARD/PORT ORCHARD POLICE GUILD JANUARY 1, 2019 - DECEMBER 31, 2021 V CITY PO Pill own witnesses or representatives. If either party requests a stenographic record of the hearing, the cost of said record will be paid by the party requesting it. If the other party also requests a copy, that party will pay one- half of the stenographic costs. Any PERC fee for the list of nine (9) names and the fee and expenses of the arbitrator shall be paid by the party ruled against by the arbitrator. In the event that the arbitrator's decision provides for a split ruling, the arbitrator shall then determine the appropriate share of the total cost that will be paid by each party. 6.7 None of the foregoing is intended to mean that the Guild itself cannot lodge a grievance and process the same through the various steps to arbitration in accordance with and subject to the provisions hereof. The right of the Guild to so lodge and process a grievance is expressly confirmed. An employee may be represented at any stage of the grievance procedure by the Guild. No settlement of a grievance with an employee shall be contrary to the terms of this Agreement. 6.8 ELECTION OF REMEDIES — In no event may the Guild/employee receive an arbitration hearing and a hearing under the Port Orchard Civil Service Commission's appeal procedures regarding the same grievance, issue, or matter. The Guild, on behalf of the employee, must elect a remedy i.e., either pursing arbitration under this Article 6 or pursuing an appeal before the Port Orchard Civil Service Commission (within the timeframes established by the Civil Service Commission's rules). Submission of a matter to the Port Orchard Civil Service Commission constitutes an election of remedies and irrevocably waives the right to pursue the matter through the arbitration process. Similarly, submission of a matter to the arbitration process constitutes an election of remedies and irrevocably waives the right to pursue the matter through the Port Orchard Civil Service Commission.

In computing such charge, the Employer shall convert accumulated days, or other time units as the case may be, to a monetary equivalent based on the base monthly salary of the employee at the time of the injury or illness. "Base monthly salary" for the purposes of this Section means the amount earned by the employee before any voluntary or involuntary payroll deductions, and not including overtime pay. (3) One-half (1/2) of the amount of the disability leave supplement as defined in RCW 41.04.505 shall be paid by the Employer.

(5) In no event shall the employee receive more in combined benefits than he/she would have received in base salary if he/she had not been disabled. 12.11.3 Pursuant to RCW 41.04.515, the disability leave supplement shall continue as long as the employee is receiving benefits under RCW 51.32.090, up to a maximum of six (6) months from the date of injury or illness. 12.12 Washington State Fa-mily and Medical Leave Program.

POLICE OFFICER INTERVIEW GUIDELINES AND RELATED MATTERS 23.1 The Employer retains the right to adopt rules for the operation of the Port Orchard Police Department and the conduct of its employees provided that such rules do not conflict with City Ordinances, applicable Civil Service rules, or this Agreement. Unless otherwise specifically noted herein, nothing in this Article 23 shall be construed as limiting any of the Employer's management rights expressed in this Agreement. A. General Procedures 1. It is essential that public confidence be maintained in the ability of the Employer to investigate and properly adjudicate complaints against its employees. Additionally, the Employer has the right and the responsibility to seek out and discipline those whose inappropriate conduct impairs the effective operation of the Employer. The rights of the employee, the Employer, as well as those of the public, must be protected. In criminal investigations, an employee shall be afforded those constitutional rights available to any citizen. In administrative investigations in which an employee will be interviewed concerning an act which, if proven, could reasonably result in disciplinary action involving a loss of pay against him or her, she/he will be afforded the safeguards set forth in this Article 23 and she/he shall also be subject to the obligations set forth in this Article. 2. Upon initiating an administrative investigation which could reasonably result in disciplinary action against an employee involving a loss of pay, the Employer will notify the subject employee in writing, unless such notification would endanger the investigation. To the extent possible, this notice will include a description of the general nature of the complaint. Upon receipt of this notice, the employee shall contact the Police Chief or Deupty Chief (or their designee) within five (5) calendar days for the purpose of scheduling an interview. The interview shall be held within ten (10) calendar days of the date of written notification unless the Employer determines it is appropriate to conduct the interview at a later date. Nothing in this Section or this Article shall preclude the Employer or its designee from investigating additional matters, allegations, and the like which come to light during the investigation process; in that event, the Employer shall provide the employee with written notice of the investigation of the additional matters or additional allegations. 3. The employee being interviewed as the subject of the investigation shall be afforded, upon request, the opportunity to consult with a Guild representative and/or attorney for the Guild. Up to two Guild representatives (including the attorney) may be present at the interview of the subject employee. The interview may not be unduly delayed awaiting an unavailable Guild representative or Guild attorney. The subject employee will be informed in writing not less than forty-eight (48) hours prior to conducting the interview that he/she is the subject of an inquiry that may lead to disciplinary action that involves a potential loss of pay. This notice shall describe the general nature of the investigation and a summary of the factual allegation(s) sufficient to generally apprise the employee of the nature of the charge(s). 4. The employee under such investigation shall be informed of the name of the person in charge of the investigation and the persons to be present during the questioning of the employee during the interview. The employee shall be informed of the agency or investigative section that the investigator represents. 5. When possible, the interview of the subject employee shall be conducted at a reasonable hour, preferably when the employee is on -duty or during the normal waking hours for the employees, unless the seriousness of the investigation requires otherwise. If the interview occurs during off -duty time of the subject employee, the employee shall be compensated for such off -duty time in accordance with Employer's regular procedures. 6. The interview of the subject employee shall take place at a location designated by the investigating officer, preferably at the Police Department unless another location is determined appropriate by the investigating officer. 7. The interview shall be for a reasonable period, taking into consideration the gravity and complexity of the issue(s) being investigated. Persons questioned shall be allowed to attend to their own personal physical necessities whenever reasonably possible.

Prior to any interview where the employee is the subject of an administrative investigation, the employee shall be advised of the substance of the following: You are about to be questioned as part of an administrative investigation conducted by the City of Port Orchard Police Department or its designee. You are hereby ordered to answer the questions that are put to you that relate to your conduct and/or job performance, and to cooperate with this investigation. You are required to answer questions relating to the performance of your official duties or fitness for duties. Your failure to cooperate with this investigation can be the subject of disciplinary action in and of itself, including dismissal. The statements you make or evidence gained as a result of this required cooperation may be used for administrative purposes but will not be used or introduced into evidence in a criminal proceeding. 9. Employees shall not be subjected to objectively offensive language, nor shall investigators make promises or threats as an inducement to answer questions. Investigators may, however, explain the consequences to the subject employee for his/her refusal to answer questions and cooperate with the investigation (i.e., that such conduct constitutes an independent basis for disciplinary action, up to and including dismissal). 10. The Employer shall not require employees who are the subject of an investigation to be subjected to visits by the press or news media; nor shall their home address be given to the press or news media without the employee's consent (unless otherwise required by law). 11. Unless otherwise specified herein, nothing contained in any of the above guidelines shall restrict and/or limit the authority of the Department Director in the performance of his/her duties and responsibilities as the Chief Administrator of the Port Orchard Police Department. 12. The complete interview of an employee may be recorded by the Employer or the employee, and/or the either party's representative. If a recording is made of the questioning, the party making the recording shall provide a copy of the recording (or a transcript of the recording, if made) to the other party upon request. By operation of this Agreement, all participants to the interview will be deemed to have already consented to being recorded. 13. It is the Employer's goal that all interviews and investigations be completed without unreasonable delay. After ninety (90) days have elapsed from the time the subject employee receives written notification that he/she is the subject of an administrative investigation, the employee or his/her Guild representatives may contact the Chief of Police (or his/her designee) and inquire when the Employer anticipates completing the subject investigation. The Employer shall timely respond to any such request and provide reasonable detail as to the status of the investigation and the reason for the delay. 14. Upon completion of the administrative investigation and the Employer's review of the case, the employee under investigation shall be informed of the results of the investigation i.e., whether the complaint determined unfounded, exonerated, not sustained, sustained, or other misconduct found. 15. Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude the Chief of Police or his/her designee from ordering an employee member to cooperate with other agencies involved in criminal investigations. If a member fails to comply with such an order, the member shall be subject to disciplinary action, up to and including termination. This Section shall not be construed as requiring any employee to forgo their Constitutional right against self-incrimination. B. When the Investigation Results in Departmental Charges Being Filed After the investigation is completed and the findings are that the complaint has been sustained or other misconduct found, the employee will be furnished with a copy of the completed investigation report. The employee shall be advised of the investigation's findings and any future action to be taken on the incident.

Employees involved in the use of lethal force shall be allowed an opportunity to consult with a Guild representative or attorney prior to being required to provide a statement regarding that use of lethal force. The affected employee may waive the requirement to wait seventy-two (72) hours, or the employee or the Guild may request, to the Chief, a reasonable extension of the waiting period (which shall be subject to the Chief s discretion). D. Personnel Records 1. Employee personnel files are the property of the Employer. An employee's official personnel files shall be considered the official record of his/her service. Employees shall be provided a copy of all material in their official personnel file upon request. The Employer shall give the employee a copy of discipline - related documents or evaluations that will be placed into his/her official personnel file. The employee shall have the right to attach statements in rebuttal or explanation to those documents. All records of employee discipline, up to and including Written Reprimands, may upon request be removed from an employee's personnel file three (3) years after issuance of the discipline, unless the employee has subsequently been disciplined for similar misconduct demonstrating a pattern of behavior. Employees are responsible for initiating the process by making a written request to the Chief of Police. The Employer will then take appropriate actions to remove said files and notify the employee. 2. Employee personnel files will be maintained as confidential records to the extent required by applicable law. Access to the employee's personnel file will be limited to the employee, his/her representatives upon written authorization from the employee (and presentation of proper identification), officials of the City and their designees (including the Employer's attorneys), and other persons, agencies, and entities as may be required or allowed under applicable law. It is understood that certain members of the Employer's staff will have access to employee personnel files and may need to review or update personnel files while conducting Employer business. 3. The Employer shall disclose information in personnel files to third parties in accordance with applicable law. Prior to disclosing personnel file documents (other than employment verification information) the Employer will give the affected employee notification of the request. If the Employer believes that the document(s) is subject to disclosure, it will notify the employee. The employee shall have five (5) working days to provide the Employer any reason for not releasing the requested document(s) and/or to give the employee an opportunity to take action to prevent the release of said document(s) at the expense of the employee prior to the Employer releasing the requested document(s). The employee may waive the notice requirement. 4. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as requiring the Employer to obtain the employee's consent to use his/her personnel files in any disciplinary proceeding or other litigation of any type involving the employee. 5. No secret personnel file will be kept on any employee. This does not preclude, however, a supervisor from maintaining notes on an employee's job performance or a supervisory working file. For purposes of this Section, a "supervisory working file" may consist of material relevant to the preparation of the employee's performance evaluation and/or documentation of counseling sessions, commendations, training records, or other records/information related to an employee's performance. Material in the supervisory working file shall only include documents relevant to the completion of an employee's current performance evaluation. Upon completion of the evaluation, all material in the supervisory working file shall be returned to the employee or destroyed. 6. Nothing herein shall be construed as limiting any rights the Guild has under applicable law to access to records.

Evidence that an officer's name has been placed on a Brady list, or may otherwise be subject to disclosure pursuant to Brady, shall not be introduced for any purpose in any administrative appeal of a punitive action, except as provided in this subsection.
