PROMOTION AND TRANSFER. 11.1 Except as otherwise provided in this section for the entry-level positions of Equipment Service Worker, Utility Worker, Groundman, Power Plant Warehouse Worker, Warehouse Worker and Line Tree Trimmer and Substation Maintenance Worker when new positions or additional positions are created, or vacancies other than temporary vacancies occur, in positions within the bargaining unit for whom Local Union 1245 is the exclusive representative, the City shall fill such positions from qualified pre-bid employee applications, if any. In filling such positions, the City shall give preferential consideration to Regular employees as defined in 7.2, who are within the bargaining unit covered by this Memorandum of Understanding, in the sequence set forth below. When employees in the same preferential sequence as provided in (a) through (c) are each qualified by knowledge, skill, efficiency, adaptability and physical ability for appointment to the position vacancy, the pre-bid of the employee with the most seniority in an IBEW Local 1245 bargaining unit shall be given preferential consideration for appointment. For each entry-level position vacancy which occurs, the City may refrain from following the procedures set forth herein and may select any applicant for an entry-level position vacancy which in the judgment of the City is best-qualified for said position vacancy.
(a) Pre-bids made by Regular employees who are in the Department in which the vacancy exists who hold a classification equal to or higher than that in which the job vacancy exists.
(b) Pre-bids made by Regular employees who are in the Department in which the vacancy exists who are at the top rate of pay of the next lower classification in the normal line of progression.
(c) Pre-bids made by Regular employees who are in the Department as applicable in which the vacancy exists who hold classifications other than those listed above. Whenever the City is unable to fill any position vacancy covered by this Memorandum of Understanding as set forth above, the City shall give consideration to those employees who are qualified and covered by any other Memorandum of Understanding between the City and the Union, prior to the City employing any other person for a position covered by this Memorandum of Understanding.
11.2 The City shall in not more than twenty-one (21) working days from the date the position vacancy is filled, post on the designated bulletin boards a notice regarding the disposition of the position with the name of the applicant selected, and mail a copy of such notice to the Union’s Business Representative together with a list of all applicants for the position.
11.3 Any Regular employee of the City as defined in 7.2 may submit a pre-bid on any existing job classification and location for which the employee desires consideration. The pre-bid must be submitted on a form provided by the City’s Personnel Office. At the time the form is delivered to the Personnel Office, it will be dated and receipted and a copy provided to the employee. The City shall not consider original pre-bids for any position vacancies which are submitted less than eight (8) calendar days prior to the filling of a job vacancy. Pre-bids will be valid until such time as the employee changes classifications, or until fifteen (15) calendar days have elapsed from such time as the employee rejects a permanent appointment to the classification and location on which the pre-bid is made.
11.4 Notwithstanding anything contained herein, the City need not consider the pre-bid application of any employee who does not possess the knowledge, skill, efficiency, adaptability, and physical ability required for the position for which the application is submitted. For purposes of determining employee qualifications, the City may utilize examinations. The City and the Union agree to meet during the term of the contract through the ad hoc process to clarify the testing process used to determine qualifications for the Working Xxxxxxx classifications. The City shall not consider the application of any employee for a Working Xxxxxxx-Line position if the employee has been classified as Lineman less than the equivalent of one (1) full year unless there is no otherwise eligible applicant for the position. When the City intends to appoint an employee to a vacancy in preference to an employee with greater seniority, as specified in 11.1, the City shall notify Union’s Business Representative of its intent prior to such appointment.
11.5 Whenever a vacancy occurs in any job classification, the City may, at its discretion, temporarily fill such vacancy. If practicable, the City shall fill such temporary vacancy with the employee who would be most eligible therefor under the provisions of this Article. If the temporary vacancy lasts for forty-five (45) calendar days or more, and the City elects to temporarily fill such temporary vacancy, the City shall select the employee who would be most eligible therefor under the provisions of this Article and shall fill such temporary vacancy by temporary reclassification of the selected employee.
11.6 A temporary vacancy is one created by additional workload, or an employee’s absence from work due to illness, disability, vacation, leave of absence, or a vacancy of less than six (6) months duration.
11.7 All appointments filled by promotion or transfer of a City employee shall be on a probationary basis for six (6) calendar months for the purpose of determining qualifications and fit for the position. At any time during the probationary period, either the employee or the City may terminate the appointment. If an appointment is terminated, the employee shall be returned to either the employee’s previous classification and wage rate, or some other classification that is mutually satisfactory to both the employee and the City. If an appointment is terminated, the City need not give further consideration on that classification and location for a period of one (1) year to the employee who did not successfully complete the probationary period.
11.8 Notwithstanding anything contained in this Article, the City’s Labor Relations Representative and the Union’s Business Representative may agree to other provisions during the term of this Memorandum of Understanding.

(1) The non-unit employee must have previously been employed by the City in a classification in the bargaining unit.
(2) The non-unit employee must be placed in a classification in the unit which is no higher than the previous classification held.
(3) With the exception of the initial three (3) calendar months out of the bargaining unit, seniority accrued by the non-unit employee shall not be recognized for the purposes of this Article only.
(4) The non-unit employee must be placed in a vacant position and may not displace, demote, or cause the layoff of another unit member.
(5) After placement in the unit, the employee may not be promoted to a higher classification within the unit until the employee has served at least one (1) year in the bargaining unit. After completion of one (1) year of service back in the bargaining unit, the employee’s previous seniority accrued while in the unit and the initial three (3) calendar months while out of the bargaining unit, shall be combined with the new year of seniority for purposes of the provisions of this Article.
11.10 Attached hereto and made a part hereof is Exhibit “C” titled “Lines of Progression.” ARTICLE 12: DEMOTION, DISPLACEMENT, AND LAYOFF
12.1 When it becomes necessary for the City to lay off Regular employees, the City will give employees involved as much notice as possible; but in no event will such employees receive less than two (2) weeks notice of layoff. Where probationary or temporary employees are to be laid off, no notice of layoff need be given.
12.2 Layoff in all cases due to lack of work will be determined by an employee’s seniority. An employee whose job is being eliminated may elect to displace an employee in a lower paid classification if qualified to perform the duties of the lower paid classification and if the employee’s seniority is greater than that of the employee in the lower paid classification.
12.3 Regular employees who are laid off will be given preference in filling future vacancies for a period up to six (6) months, providing they keep the City advised of their current address.
12.4 Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article, the City’s Labor Relations Representative and the Union’s Business Representative may agree to other procedures during the term of this Memorandum of Understanding.
