To increase the efficiency in responding to Public Works emergencies during weekly off

8:00 am and on holidays. The City is clarifying to the Local that this will not be considered a
firm past practice in the next contract negotiations. It will be at the discretion of the City to
evaluate the effectiveness of this change and if deemed necessary retains the ability to return to a
dispatch system.
Based upon Seniority, employees will be allowed to bid on standby duty for designated
weeks during the calendar year. Should no employee bid on standby duty, the employee with the
least seniority shall be assigned to standby duty by their supervisor. If, an employee scheduled
to be on standby wishes to remove himself/herself from such standby duty due to illness or other
extenuating circumstances, the employee shall first notify and obtain the expressed approval of
his or her supervisor.
