26.3 26.4 26.5 26.6 26.7 26.8 26.9 The time limits previously set forth shall be considered maximums and every effort shall be made to expedite the process. The limits specified may, however, be extended by mutual agreement of the parties. No Review Board and no arbitrator shall entertain, or hear, any dispute unless such dispute involves a position in the unit represented by the Association and unless such dispute falls within the definition of a grievance as set forth in Subsection 26.1. Proposals to add to or change this Memorandum of Understanding or written agreements or addenda supplementary hereto, shall not be arbitrable and no proposal to modify, amend or terminate this Memorandum of Understanding, nor any matter or subject arising out of or in connection with such proposal, may be referred to arbitration under this Section. Neither any Review Board nor any arbitrator shall have the power to amend or modify this Memorandum of Understanding or written agreement or addenda supplementary hereto or to establish any new terms or conditions of employment. No grievance involving demotion, reduction in pay, suspension, dismissal of an employee will be entertained unless it is filed in writing with the Personnel Director within seven (7) working days of the time at which the affected employee was notified of such action. If the Personnel Director in pursuance of the procedures outlined in subsection 25.2(3) above, resolves any grievance which involves suspension or discharge, the Personnel Director may agree to payment for lost time or to reinstatement with or without payment for lost time. Ail complaints involving or concerning the payment of compensation shall be initially filed in writing with the Personnel Director. Only complaints which allege that employees are not being compensated in accordance with the provision of this Memorandum of Understanding shall be considered as grievances. No adjustment shall be retroactive for more than thirty (30) days from the date upon which the complaint was filed. Any other matters of compensation are to be resolved in the meeting and conferring process and if not detailed in the Memorandum of Understanding which results from such meeting and conferring process shall be deemed withdrawn until the meeting and conferring process is next opened for such discussion. No changes in this Memorandum of Understanding or interpretations thereof (except interpretations resulting from arbitration proceedings hereunder) will be recognized unless agreed to by the City Manager and the Association. - 37 -
