Canine Assignment. The Chief of Police may assign officers to canine duty. Officers so assigned shall not obtain any tenure or other property interest in the assignment. Once so assigned the City shall pay a five percent (5%) pay differential above the Officer’s top salary step inclusive of P.O.S.T. incentives as compensation for the time spent outside of regular shift hours spent caring for the assigned animal. This pay differential shall be paid each pay period for the time the Officer is assigned to canine duty. When the Officer is reassigned, upon request or by management from canine duty, the five percent (5%) pay differential shall cease. The assignment to canine duty shall generally conform to the provisions of the agreement of June 18, 1984, which is referenced here for informational purposes only and is not made a part of this agreement. The City retains the sole right to administer the canine program, which may include its termination. The City may also renegotiate the terms of this section upon notification to the Association.
