Election of Procedures. It is further understood that any controversy which is within the domain of the Civil Service Commission shall be referred directly to the Commission. The decision of the Civil Service Commission shall be final and binding on both parties. An employee who wishes to appeal disciplinary action taken by the City which allegedly violates this Contract shall have the option of filing an appeal with the Civil Service Commission if it is within the authority of the Commission by law, or to proceed under the Grievance Procedure contained in this Contract, if applicable, but the employee must make an election in writing between the two procedures and will not be entitled to grieve and to process an appeal to the Civil Service Commission on the same matter.
