C. Nothing in this article shall be construed to prevent the bargaining unit member or the KCGMFT from filing a grievance, or to prevent either party from making a negotiations proposal. However, the five (5) day grievance filing deadline in Article 6.D of this agreement may be delayed, by mutual consent of the parties, until a solution or recommendation is made by the CMC. D. The CMC will attempt to resolve issues and problems prior to implementing the grievance procedure or referring them to the negotiations process. However, a problem may be taken through the grievance procedure and/or through the CMC at the same time or separately. E. Issues or problems may be referred by the CMC, the KCGMFT, the Board, or a bargaining unit member to the grievance procedure or negotiations process if it is deemed that the CMC is not the appropriate committee to meet and resolve the issue or problem. F. The parties shall meet at least sixty (60) days prior to the expiration of this agreement to identify issues and begin the bargaining of a successor agreement. If pursuant to such negotiations an agreement is not reached prior to the expiration date, this agreement will remain in effect until a successor agreement is reached, or until the Board and/or the KCGMFT gives notice, in writing, of a desire for changes or termination.
