Negotiations Meetings. 1. Upon written request by either party for a negotiation meeting, the receiving party will have five (5) calendar days to reply to the request. Within fifteen (15) calendar days after receipt of the reply an initial meeting shall be held between the parties, unless otherwise mutually agreed to by both parties. 2. Issues proposed for negotiations shall be submitted in writing for mutual exchange between the Union and the Board at the initial meeting set for such purpose. Original proposals shall be written and in language suitable for inclusion in the final Agreement. Topical listings of items proposed for negotiations (i.e. "laundry list") shall constitute a clear failure of compliance and may be disregarded. Subsequent meetings within the time limits as designated in the Negotiations Procedure will be held to negotiate the proposals. 3. After the first (1st) meeting, no new proposals shall be submitted by either party unless by mutual agreement. 4. Each negotiations meeting will be held in Executive Session, including mediation sessions, if held. 5. Meetings shall be scheduled with the least interruption of work schedules. Other rules for conducting negotiations procedures which are deemed necessary and not covered by this procedure shall be discussed and agreed upon at the first meeting.
