MAINTENANCE OF EXISTING BENEFITS. The Parties agree and Tempe City Code 2-400 Et Seq confirms that in the event of a conflict between the City of Tempe Personnel Rules and Regulations and attachments thereto, department policies and procedures, other Council-approved programs, and this Memorandum of Understanding, the Memorandum of Understanding shall govern. If there is no conflict between the above referenced documents, the Parties are governed by the Personnel Rules and Regulations, attachments thereto and Council-approved programs. In the event all such formerly referenced documents are silent on a particular issue, the City Manager and/or designee shall retain the right to exercise judgment on all such matters. If, during the term of this Agreement, the City anticipates either a substantive change in the benefits not included in this MOU, but provided to Unit Members through the City of Tempe Personnel Rules and Regulations and attachments thereto and other Council-approved programs, or other revision of the City’s Rules and Regulations, the City shall meet with the Union to explain the reasons for the change, shall meet and confer regarding the potential impact of such changes, and shall allow the Union to propose alternatives to the changes at least 45 days prior to making such changes (except in the case of an emergency or unless such time period is waived by the Union). In the event of administrative memoranda or changes reviewed or adopted by the City Council, the City shall advise Council of the Union’s recommendations concerning such proposed changes prior to implementation. The purpose of the provisions of this Article is to continue to provide current financial benefit levels, as that terminology is customarily defined as part of the employees’ overall compensation package. Such other benefits, allowances, terms and conditions of employment as may be negotiated or implemented affecting other bargaining units within the City of Tempe shall, at the request of the Union, necessitate a meet and confer process with the City of Tempe.
