Annual and Sick Leave Changes

The City of Sparks is currently implementing an electronic timekeeping system. This system allows the City to account for time in smaller increments than a half hour. This change will allow employees to use time in less than half hour increments making the timekeeping system more effective and accurate for the City and the employee.

Emergency Communications Dispatcher/Specialist Overtime:

The following sentences were mistakenly omitted from the last contract due to a clerical error. The City and the Union are asking the language be added back into the contract to clarify who gets offered overtime in Emergency Communications.

All sign up overtime, including Special Events, will be offered by seniority. There is a there (3) day limit to “bump” a lower seniority Employee form the sign-up.

Alternatives: 1. The City Council may approve classifications and the Memorandum of Understanding to change the Operating Engineers Local No. 3 Non-Supervisory Contract and Appendix A. 2. The City Council may not approve classifications and the Memorandum of Understanding to change the Operating Engineers Local No. 3 Non-Supervisory Contract and Appendix A. 3.

Recommended Motion: The City Council approves Memorandum of Understanding with Operationg Engineers Local No. 3.
