Contract Maintenance. Representatives of the Employer and the Association, upon the request of either party, will meet monthly for the purpose of reviewing the administration of the contract and/or to resolve problems that may arise. Either party may request a meeting. Time and date shall be mutually agreed upon. Request for such meeting shall provide a minimum of one weeks notice. However, a meeting date shall be scheduled within ten workdays of the request. These meetings are not intended to bypass the grievance procedure. Each party will submit to the other, on or before the Friday prior to the meeting, an agenda covering what they wish to discuss. Should such a meeting result in a mutually acceptable amendment to the Agreement, then the amendment shall be subject to ratification by the Employer and the Association provided that the respective representatives shall be empowered to effect temporary accommodations to resolve special problems not requiring alteration of previously ratified agreements. When contract maintenance meetings are conducted during regular work hours, released time shall be provided for the Association’s Representative(s).
