DateJanuary I.5,1974
Subject: REVISION OF PERSONNEL RULES & REGULATIONS Submitted By:
Section 14 (Rule X) - OVERTIME William C. Baldwin
Personnel Director
Statement of tha Hatter : Since adoption of the Griffenhagen-Kroeg� report
there has been misunderstanding between department heads, departments and
employees as to the interpretation of the overtime rule. In the "meet and
confer" sessions of 1973-74 it was agreed between management and the three
employee associations that the overtime rule would be standardized and the
rules and regulations amended accordingly. This article of the memorandums
of understanding was ratified by the City Council, consequently the personnel
department made a study of the cities in this County regarding overtime pay.
It was determined that a majority of the cities paid overtime at the rate of
one and one-half or time in lieu.of pay at the same rate. Based on this study
the personnel department re -wrote the rule and reached agreement with the
associations on the context. Because of a change in city managers it was
not possible to place this matter on the agenda until this time. It should
be noted that the 1972-73 memorandum of understanding reached with the police
association, in fact, granted that department overtime at the time and
one-half rate for all duties extending the 40-hour work week. A second
resolution adopted in 1973 grants $10.00 per day "stand-by" time for ambulance
duty for the fire department employees. Thus, these two changes are currently
resolute and are incorporated in the revision.
Exhibit
(1) Existing overtime rule.
(2) Revised overtime rule.
(3) Resolution No. ,,?.1J 3 , amending Resolution No. 1727.
to City Manager -
Staff Recommendations/: Approval of the suggested changes should be
granted to clarify and defane overtime to prevent misunderstanding or mis-
interpretation of this rule by management or the employee. A minimum of
additional cost to the City would occur since the majority of overtime is
"emergency call back" as defined under the existing rule and by agreement
with the associations or because of approved memorandums of understanding.
Referral to the City Attorney is requested tar the drafting of a resolution
amending Resolution No. 1727.

City Manager's Recommendation
Date: January 15, 1974
Over a period of time the City Council has approved ,by
minute action and by approving certain memorandum of
understanding with employee associations a number of
changes in the Ci'ty's overtime policy. These changes,
however, were not incorporated into the City Personnel
Rules- This has created considerable confusion and
misunderstanding, both on the part of department heads
and the employees. "This agenda bill is an attempt to
incorporate all of the previous overtime policies into
one Personnel Rule. The,only additional change at this
time is in Section G, Standby Pay, The Standby Pay
for employees has been changed from $3.50 to $5.00.
At the present time the only employees, outside the Fire
Department, who are on regular standby are in the Public
Works Department. It is recommended that the Council
approve the Personnel Rule change as outlined. If the
Council concurs, the matter should be referred to the
City Attorney for the preparation of the necessary
resolution.
Council Action
1-15-74 The matter was referred to the City Attorney, following
an Executive Session, and the City Attorney was requested
to prepare the necessary Resolution for the next regular
meeting.
2-5-74 Resolution No. 3353 was adopted.
