Prior to subcontracting any work (and before putting out a Request for Proposals for such work), <br />the City agrees to meet with the Union to discuss alternatives to subcontracting. Upon request, the <br />City shall provide the Union with any cost information, performance audits, specifications, or other <br />information it requires to propose an effective alternate to subcontracting. The City will consider <br />the Union's "bid" or alternatives in good faith along with all other bids it may receive. Whether to <br />accept the Union's bid or that of a subcontract is within the discretion of the City. <br />34.02 The City shall make office space available to the Union on an as needed basis for the <br />purpose of conducting Union business. <br />34.03 If the City anticipates using welfare recipients, workfare participants or other such public <br />assistance recipients/participants to perform bargaining unit work, it will advise the Union and <br />negotiate the effect on the bargaining unit or any welfare -to -work initiative prior to implementing <br />the initiative. <br />34.04 The City shall pay the cost of the test and any license or renewal fees for any employee <br />required to be a notary public. <br />34.05 Commercial Driver's License <br />A. In the event an employee is required to possess a CDL as a condition of <br />employment, the employer shall reimburse the employee the cost of the first CDL <br />an employee obtains and any renewals, plus any endorsements to that license and <br />any testing necessary to obtain it. In the event an employee leaves the employment <br />of the City for any reason whatsoever (excluding death) within two (2) years of <br />receiving training, licensing or endorsements at expense, the City shall deduct from <br />the employee's final pay the cost of training, licensing and endorsements. <br />B. In the event an employee is required to possess a CDL as a condition of employment <br />and loses their license for any reason whatsoever, or receives eight (8) or more <br />violation points, or fails any required testing, the employee shall be removed from <br />their current position and temporarily reclassified for a period not to exceed ninety <br />(90) days or such longer period as determined by the City, providing a position <br />exists within the bargaining unit. Such reclassifications shall supersede the job <br />posting procedure and may result in a reduction of wages, but shall not result in a <br />promotion or increase in per hour rate of pay. When reclassified, the employee shall <br />be placed in the wage tier for that position based upon the employee's date of hire. <br />C. If no position is available or the employee is unable or refuses to perform the <br />assigned duties, the employee shall be laid off without the right to bump other <br />regular full-time or part-time employees. If the employee is able to obtain a CDL <br />and has less than eight (8) violation points within ninety (90) days, or such longer <br />period as determined by the City, the employee shall be returned to their previous <br />classification. <br />28 <br />
