F.O.P. Lodge President. The F.O.P. Lodge President is the highest ranking Lodge official. The President will be permitted sufficient time off during the work week to attend to Lodge matters within the Presidents capacity. During such service in this post, the Lodge official shall continue to have entitlement to wages, fringe benefits, seniority accrual and all other benefits allowed a bargaining unit member as though job related duties were being performed at all times. During the term in office, the Lodge official shall continue to be required to report daily to the Lodge official's supervisor at the lodge official's assigned shift starting time, and shall be required to apprise said supervisor of the lodge official's whereabouts at all working times while performing the duties allowed by this Section. The Lodge President and/or representatives shall be granted time off not to exceed fifteen (15) days per calendar year to perform duties or to attend conventions. The Lodge official will be required to drop or forego any of the activities allowed by this section, upon the direction of a supervisor, for the purpose of assisting in emergency police work. But for an emergency situation, sufficient time to perform Lodge functions will not be unreasonably limited by the Administration or department supervisors nor will the Lodge official devote unnecessary city-paid time to these functions. None of the duties of the Lodge official herein described may be conducted on city-paid overtime hours, nor shall they be conducted if city-paid overtime hours are required to fill the Lodge officials position.
