Step Four If the decision of the President/Superintendent is not satisfactory to the grievant or no decision is rendered, CRFO may, within fifteen days of receipt of the notification of the decision, submit a request for arbitration. The grievance, including but not limited to disputes over procedural or substantive arbitrability, shall then be submitted to an arbitrator for advisory determination.
9.4.4.1 Within five days of receiving the request for arbitration, CRFO and the District will first attempt to agree upon an arbitrator. If no agreement is reached, the parties shall request the State Conciliation Service to supply a panel of seven names of persons experienced in hearing grievances in public education. Each party will alternately strike a name until only one name remains. That person will be the arbitrator. The order of striking will be by lot. Upon mutual agreement, the list of arbitrators may be obtained from the American Arbitration Association.
9.4.4.2 CRFO and the District shall each bear their own costs associated with representation at any step in the grievance procedure, except for the costs of the arbitrator. CRFO and the District shall share equally the costs of the arbitrator’s fees and expenses and any costs for a court reporter and transcript.
9.4.4.3 As soon as possible after the arbitrator’s selection, the arbitrator shall conduct a hearing into the matter and render written findings of fact and conclusions on all the issues submitted. If the parties cannot agree upon a submission agreement, the arbitrator shall determine the issues by referring to the written grievance and the answers at each step. After the hearing both parties will have an opportunity to submit written briefs.
9.4.4.4 The arbitrator will have no power to alter, amend, add to, subtract from, or disregard any of the terms of this agreement but will recommend only if there has been a violation of this agreement. The arbitrator will be without power or authority to make any recommendation that requires the commission of an act prohibited by law or that violates the terms of this agreement.
9.4.4.5 The findings of fact and the recommendation of the arbitrator will be advisory to the Board of Trustees, which will make the final determination. Upon review of the record, if the Board of Trustees is unable to render a final determination on the record, the Board may reopen the record for the taking of additional evidence and may adopt its own written findings of fact and conclusions.
Section Four The State shall deduct the agency service fee biweekly from the paycheck of each employee who is required under C.G.S. 5-280 to pay such a fee as a condition of employment, provided, however, no such payment shall be required of an employee whose membership is terminated for reasons other than nonpayment of Union dues or who objects to payment of such fee based on the tenets of a religious sect. The amount of agency service fee shall not exceed the minimum applicable dues and/or assessments payable to the exclusive bargaining agent.
Sixty (60) days shall have expired after the appointment, without the consent or acquiescence of Borrower, of any trustee, receiver or liquidator of Borrower or of all or any substantial part of the properties of Borrower without such appointment being vacated; or

Level Four If the Association is not satisfied with the disposition of the grievance at Level Three or if the grievant is not represented by the Association, the grievant may submit the grievance to arbitration before an impartial arbitrator, using the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Services (FMCS). In order to submit the grievance to arbitration, both the Superintendent and FMCS must receive written and timely notice that the grievance is proceeding to arbitration within twenty (20) days following receipt of the Level Three disposition and that the Association, (if the Association is representing the grievant), or grievant, if the association is not representing the grievant has submitted the grievance to FMCS for arbitration within that time limit.
1. If the District does not agree within ten (10) days of receipt of the written notice, that the matter is arbitrable, the District shall notify the Grievant and the Association, in writing, that it disagrees as to the arbitrability of the grievance. The Parties agree that in such instances, an arbitrator will be selected, according to the rules of FMCS, to determine the question of arbitrability and if found to be arbitrable, to then determine the substantive issue. If there is no objection by the District to the arbitrability of the grievance, the Parties shall proceed to arbitrate the substantive grievance issue on its merits.
2. The District and the Association (or the grievant if the Association is not representing the grievant) agree to make available, upon specific written request to the other, such information as is necessary to effectively process grievance. The cost of gathering the information shall be borne by the requesting Party in accordance with Florida Statutes. Requests for such information shall allow a reasonable time prior to the Level Four hearing (except that if the arbitration hearing is to determine arbitrability, then a reasonable time before a hearing is set or the purpose) for collection of requested information. Neither the District nor the Association (nor the grievant, if the grievant is not represented by the Association) shall be permitted to assert in such arbitration proceeding any ground or rely on any evidence which had been specifically requested by the opposite Party but which was not previously disclosed to the requesting Party.
3. If the Parties cannot mutually agree to an arbitrator within seven (7) days of the receipt of the list of arbitrators from FMCS, then the arbitrator will be selected by FMCS in accordance with its rules. The arbitrator shall have no power to add to, subtract from, modify or alter the terms of the Agreement. The arbitrator will conduct a hearing, shall render his/her decision in writing within (30) days after the close of the arbitration hearing and shall furnish a copy to the Association/grievant and the District. The Parties agree that the decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding on all Parties. The fees and expenses of the arbitrator shall be shared equally by the District and the Association unless the Association has elected to withdraw or not to support the grievance and so notifies all Parties in writing. In this case, the fees and expenses of the arbitrator shall be shared equally by the District and the grievant. All other expenses shall be borne by the Party incurring them, and neither Party shall be responsible for the expense of witnesses called by the other.
Step Three a. If the grievance is not resolved within ten (10) working days of the referral to Step Two in Article A.
Five weeks accrual - Employees shall accrue five weeks of vacation annually after the completion of 520 full-time biweekly pay periods (20 years) of continuous employment, up to a maximum balance of ten weeks.
Adjustments to Fees Notwithstanding any of the fee limitations set forth in this Article 6, commencing upon the expiration of the first year of this Agreement, and upon the expiration of each year thereafter during the Term, the then-‐current fees set forth in Section 6.1 and Section 6.3 may be adjusted, at ICANN’s discretion, by a percentage equal to the percentage change, if any, in (i) the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers, U.S. City Average (1982-‐1984 = 100) published by the United States Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, or any successor index (the “CPI”) for the month which is one
(1) month prior to the commencement of the applicable year, over (ii) the CPI published for the month which is one (1) month prior to the commencement of the immediately prior year. In the event of any such increase, ICANN shall provide notice to Registry Operator specifying the amount of such adjustment. Any fee adjustment under this Section 6.5 shall be effective as of the first day of the first calendar quarter following at least thirty (30) days after ICANN’s delivery to Registry Operator of such fee adjustment notice.
Interest Rate Options The Borrower shall pay interest in respect of the outstanding unpaid principal amount of the Loans as selected by it from the Base Rate Option or LIBOR Rate Option set forth below applicable to the Loans, it being understood that, subject to the provisions of this Agreement, the Borrower may select different Interest Rate Options and different Interest Periods to apply simultaneously to the Loans comprising different Borrowing Tranches and may convert to or renew one or more Interest Rate Options with respect to all or any portion of the Loans comprising any Borrowing Tranche; provided that (i) there shall not be at any one time outstanding more than ten (10) Borrowing Tranches in the aggregate among all of the Loans and (ii) if an Event of Default or Potential Default exists and is continuing, the Borrower may not request, convert to, or renew the LIBOR Rate Option for any Loans and the Required Lenders may demand that all existing Borrowing Tranches bearing interest under the LIBOR Rate Option shall be converted immediately to the Base Rate Option, subject to the obligation of the Borrower to pay any indemnity under Section 5.9 [Indemnity] in connection with such conversion. If at any time the designated rate applicable to any Loan made by any Lender exceeds such Lender’s highest lawful rate, the rate of interest on such Lender’s Loan shall be limited to such Lender’s highest lawful rate.
