AUTHORITY AND RECOGNITION. The City recognizes the Association as the sole and exclusive bargaining agent for all covered Officers, pursuant to Subsection I of Chapter 143 of the TLGC, excluding the rank of Chief of Police, assistant chief (by statute), deputy chief (by this Agreement), and non-sworn employees. It is agreed that Officers appointed to deputy chief pursuant to Article 15 of this Agreement shall be considered as working out of classification for the duration of their appointment, and they will be covered by an executive pay plan, rather than this agreement’s provisions for pay and benefits. The Association has determined that Deputy Chiefs’ benefits under the executive pay plan, and under the City’s Ordinance pertaining to this rank are, taken as a whole, favorable in the context of pay and benefits in the Department and that it is reasonable and consistent with the Association’s duties under Texas law to exclude them from the bargaining unit for all other purposes, for the duration of this agreement. Should the City repeal said Ordinance, or if said Ordinance is found by a court of law to be invalid, in whole or in part, the Association shall have the right to reopen negotiations as to this group of employees only, and only to the extent of the effect of the repeal or invalidation. In the event an individual files an action against the Association and the City on account of the operation of Article 1, the City agrees to defend on behalf of both parties the validity of this provision adopted by both parties, with counsel of the City’s choice. This provision does not preclude the Association from retaining its own defense counsel, at its expense, and the City shall reasonably cooperate with counsel designated by the Association to participate. Any obligation for back pay or benefits, or the fees or costs of such litigation (not including any attorneys’ fees paid by the Association to their own separate counsel) resulting from such litigation shall be the sole responsibility of the City of Fort Worth.
