PREAMBLE
This contract entered between the City of Tigard, Oregon, hereinafter referred to as the
"City," and the Tigard Police Officers' Association, hereinafter referred to as the "Association,"
has as its purpose the promotion of an efficient police department; harmonious relations between
the City and the Association; the establishment of an equitable and peaceful procedure for the
resolution of differences; and to set forth their entire agreement with regard to rates of pay, hours
of work, and other conditions of employment.
ARTICLE 1 —RECOGNITION
The City recognizes the Association as the sole and exclusive bargaining agent with
respect to wages, hours and other conditions of employment for the employees in the bargaining
unit as set forth in Addendum A.
The City shall notify the Association of its decision to add any new classifications to the
Police Department. If the City and the Association cannot agree whether a new position is
supervisory, managerial, confidential, or if a new classification should be included in the
bargaining unit, the dispute shall be submitted to the Employment Relations Board. When the
parties are unable to agree as to the representation status of such a new position, the City shall
have the option of leaving the position vacant or filling the position at a provisional wage rate
until the issue is resolved. If such a position is filled on a provisional basis and if there is a
subsequent adjustment in the wage rate, such adjustment shall be retroactive to the date that the
position was filled.
The bargaining unit shall consist of those classifications listed in Addendum A that are
regular full-time employees and those employees within those classifications that are regularly
scheduled to work 20 hours or more per week, excluding supervisory and confidential employees
as defined by the Public Employees' Collective Bargaining Act.
ARTICLE 2 —MAINTENANCE OF STATUS QUO
The City shall be obligated to negotiate over existing conditions that are mandatory
subjects of bargaining or the mandatory bargainable impacts, whether or not they are covered by
this agreement, if the City intends to alter, change or modify such conditions.
1
In the event the City desires to amend or modify or change the status quo that is a
mandatory subject of bargaining or that has a mandatory impact, the City will provide the
Association President or designee with written notice of the proposed change. The Association
shall have ten (10) days to object in writing to the person proposing the change or their designee.
The failure of the Association to object in writing to the proposed change within ten(10) days of
the notice provided for above shall serve as a waiver of the Association's right to bargain. The
Association's written objection shall specify the nature of the objection and identify whether the
Association believes the proposed change involves a mandatory bargainable subject or a
mandatory bargainable impact of a permissive subject.
Thereafter, the parties shall bargain in good faith over said changes for a period not to
exceed thirty(30) days. If after the passage of thirty (30) days, the parties have not reached
agreement, either party may declare an impasse and initiate interest arbitration pursuant to ORS
243.746 by requesting a list of eleven (11) Oregon and/or Washington arbitrators from the
Employment Relations Board who are members of the American Arbitration Association(AAA).
If the parties cannot mutually agree to an arbitrator, they will by lot alternately strike names and
the last one (1) will be the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall conduct a hearing within thirty(30)
days of announcement of their selection, or at such other time as the parties mutually agree.

Such payroll deducted funds shall be remitted promptly to the designated Association
officer or transferred to the Association's bank account designated by the Association to receive

efficiency.

arrival at court. As a condition of receipt of payment for the time involved, all witness fees,
mileage allowances, and other remuneration paid for appearances in court proceedings under this

121-180 months/10-15 yrs 12 hours 144 18
180-240 months/15-20 yrs 13 1/2 hours 162 20.25

Notwithstanding the above specified rates of vacation accrual, no employee shall be
allowed to accumulate vacation/holiday in excess of 300 hours. It shall be the responsibility of
each employee to schedule sufficient vacation/holiday so they are not denied accrual of
additional vacation. If an employee is unable to take vacation, the cap will float up to a
maximum of 320 hours, only if the employee has submitted a memo to their supervisor, prior to
reaching 300 hours, that includes a plan for how/when they will reduce their balance back safely
below the 320-hour cap. If then, the employee is unable to keep the plan due to the operational
needs of the department, they may make arrangements with the Chief to exceed the maximum
accrual specified above, so long as a revised plan for reduction is prepared that will reduce the
balance safely below the 300-hour cap within a reasonable period of time. No employee shall be
allowed to exceed the maximum accrual of 300 hours for more than a four-month total period.
Accrued vacation shall be credited as earned vacation for each month of service. Parttime
employees shall be credited with earned vacation on a prorated basis to that of a forty(40)hour
employee, in accordance with the above schedule. Vacation accrued during the first six (6)
months of continuous service shall not be credited as earned vacation until the employee
completes the first six (6)months of continuous service. The City may waive the six (6)months
of continuous service requirement for lateral hires in its discretion. Subject to applicable state
law, the City may credit lateral hires with up to 120 hours of vacation leave at the beginning of
their employment or allow lateral hires to draw on future accruals during their first six(6) months
of employment in its discretion.
15.2. Scheduling
15
Vacation periods shall be scheduled at the mutual agreement of the City and the
individual employee. Within fifteen(15) days after the completion of each shift bid, the City
shall post a vacation bid sheet for two weeks. The most senior employee within each
classification shall be afforded the first selection of vacation for the upcoming six-month shift bid
period, followed by the next most senior employee within each classification, and so on. Each
employee shall be allowed to select one continuous vacation period(vacation/holiday and comp
time included) from the portions of the shift bid period in which vacation is available. A bid
vacation will not be denied solely because it overlaps another bid vacation so long as the overlap
does not exceed two days. After the seniority vacation selection as provided for above, all
additional vacation will be scheduled subject to the operational needs of the department on a
first-come first-served basis. Once a vacation request has been approved, it shall not be canceled
by the City unless due to circumstances beyond the control of the City.
15.3. Separation
All employees shall be entitled to payment for unused vacation/holiday and comp time
upon separation from City service. In the event of death, the employee's heirs will be entitled to

domestic partners, so long as domestic partners are allowable under the plans. For employees
regularly scheduled to work thirty (30)hours per week or more, the city will pay ninety percent
(90%) of the premium cost and the employee shall pay ten percent(10%) of the premium cost. If
16
an excise tax is incurred by the City on behalf of an employee as imposed by the carrier because
of the Affordable Care Act or amendments, this article shall re-open to negotiate potential
changes to the existing medical plan and/or VEBA to reduce the total cost of these combined
benefits in an effort to reduce and/or eliminate the impact of the excise tax.
16.2. Part-Time Employees
For employees regularly scheduled to work less than thirty (30) hours but more than
twenty (20)hours per week,the City will pay fifty percent(50%) of the premium cost and the

require such an examination only for sworn officers. Each employee who is required to take
such an examination may choose to use their own physician, at the employee's expense, or to use
a physician designated by the City, at the City's expense.
The spirit of the physical examination and the annual physical capability test is for the
welfare of the employee and is not intended to be punitive in any manner. The physical
examination will focus on specific health maintenance issues and early identification of potential
job-related health problems in the future.
17
The report form will address only those health issues related to personnel in their specific
working environment. Access to the report is limited to the City Manager, Chief of Police,
Human Resources Director, and the named employee.
16.6. Retirement
The City shall continue to participate in the Public Employees Retirement System for

Oregon Laws 2003.
On behalf of employees in the Public Employees Retirement System, the City will
continue to "pick up"the employee contribution as the law requires. The parties acknowledge
that various challenges have been filed that contest the lawfulness, including the
constitutionality, of various aspects of PERS reform legislation enacted by the 2003 Legislative
Assembly, including chapters 67 (HB 2003) and 68 (HB 2004) of Oregon Laws 2003. Nothing
in this agreement shall constitute a waiver of any party's rights, claims or defenses with respect
to the PERS litigation.
On behalf of employees in the Oregon Public Service Retirement Plan, the City will pay
an amount equal to six percent (6%) of the employee's monthly salary, not to be deducted from
the salary, as the employee's contribution to the employee's account when the employee
becomes a member of the Individual Account Program established by section 29 of chapter 733,
Oregon Laws 2003. The employee's contributions paid by the City shall not be considered to be
"salary"under section 1(16)(c) of chapter 733, Oregon Laws 2003, for the purposes of
computing a member's "final average salary"under section 10 of chapter 733, Oregon Laws
2003, or"salary" for the purposes of determining the amount of employee contributions required
to be contributed pursuant to section 32 of chapter 733, Oregon Laws 2003.

access to the medical FSA should the excise tax provisions of the ACA or other provision place
the City in jeopardy of being charged for the program on an individual or citywide basis. The
City agrees that should the program be canceled it would not impact the dependent care FSA
option. If such change were needed, it would be at the start of a month and the city would
provide at least thirty (30) days' notice to the Association.
16.10. Voluntary Employee Benefits Account
To help offset the cost of premium contributions or other health insurance expenses
elected by the employee and the economic impact associated with the employees' portion of the
Paid Leave Oregon contribution, the City will contribute $1,200 annually ($100 per month) to a
Voluntary Employee Benefits Account(VEBA) on behalf of each bargaining unit member
regularly scheduled to work thirty hours (30)per week or more.

of the ACA or other legislation place the City in jeopardy of being charged for the program on an
individual or citywide basis, the VEBA contributions would be converted to non-matching
deferred compensation contributions. If such a change were needed, it would be at the start of a
month and the city would provide at least thirty(30) days' notice to the Association.

At any time during the discipline investigation process, the Chief or designee may decide
that a complaint being investigated as potential discipline will have the maximum discipline of no
more than a written reprimand. If this decision is made by the Chief or designee then the
investigator(s) and Association, on behalf of the employee being investigated, may agree to
modify the investigative procedures listed above in order to speed up the discipline investigation
process and resolve the matter in seven(7) calendar days or less. Allegations related to
truthfulness are not eligible for this waiver.
ARTICLE 28—PERSONNEL FILE
No material in any form which can reasonably be construed, interpreted, or acknowledged
to be derogatory shall be placed in the employee's personnel files unless they have been allowed
to read such material.
Upon request, employees shall have access to their personnel files and shall have the right
of reproduction of their personnel files in full or in part. No portion of an employee's files shall
be transmitted without the explicit consent and request of the employee, other than to those
authorized within the Tigard Police Department, the City Manager, or a court of competent
jurisdiction. The official personnel file shall be maintained in the Human Resources Department.
ARTICLE 29 —WAGES

or who is able to be certified as a Peace Officer through attendance of the lateral/equivalency

an advanced step of the range for the applicable classification commensurate with their former
qualifications and experience on a case-by-case basis and in compliance with Oregon law.
29.3. Schedule Movement
A new employee or promoted employee is eligible for consideration for advancement to
the next step of the salary range for their classification following completion of the equivalent of
six(6) months of service. At six(6)months of service, the City shall have the discretion to

employee's prior experience. Advancement of employees to higher pay steps shall not be
automatic,but may be made to the next pay step in the employee's classification following the
completion of each 12 months of satisfactory work performance. Such advancement shall be
subject to a written employee evaluation by the department head to the City Manager certifying
that the employee had been making normal improvement in the ability to carry out their job
assignment.
Advancement may be withheld or postponed in the event the employee is not performing
their job assignment satisfactorily.
29.4. Promotions

demoted or demoted as a result of a disciplinary action shall be paid at the same step of the lower
range as they occupied before being promoted, with consideration of length of service of the
employee in the higher range. A demoted employee shall retain the same salary increase date.
29.6. Salary Range Changes
When a range is changed, the employee's pay is based upon the same step of the new
range as in the old. Such changes shall not alter the employee's eligibility for salary increases.
29.7. Pay Periods
The City shall pay employees once every two (2)weeks.
ARTICLE 30 —INCENTIVE PAY
30.1. Certification/Education
Certification pay increments will begin as of the date of issuance shown on the
certification. Educational achievement pay increments will begin as of the date of written notice
to the City of a degree or equivalent hours. Members of the bargaining unit shall be eligible for
educational and training incentive increments to be applied to their current salary after meeting
the necessary education and training points for the intermediate or advanced certificate as set
forth by DPSST.
Incentive premiums and education requirements are as follows:
Sworn Personnel
Premium DPSST Certification Educational Achievement
2.50% - AA/AS or Equivalent Hours

8.75% Intermediate BA/BS or Equivalent Hours
8.75% Advanced AA/AS or Equivalent Hours
10.00% Advanced BA/BS or Equivalent Hours
See DPSST Sworn Personnel certification Standards.
30.2. Longevity
Longevity merit incentive shall be paid in accordance with the following schedule only to
those employees with five (5) or more years of service with the City on or before ratification of
this Agreement, who elect to be grandfathered into the longevity premium program in lieu of
eligibility for advancement to a sixth(6th) step at five percent(5%) above Step 5. The one-time
election must have been made by eligible employees during the window period established by the
City following ratification of the 2002-2004 Agreement.:
2% after 5 years
3% after 6 years
4% after 7 years
5% after 8 years
6% after 9 years
7.5% after 10 years
10% after 15 years
Employees with less than five (5)years of service with the City on or before ratification of
this Agreement, will not be eligible for longevity under this section, but will be eligible for
advancement to Step 6 consistent with Article 29, Section 29.2 governing schedule movement.
The above percentages shall be applied to the individual employee's base salary but not to
exceed a maximum of the top step of the police officer classification salary. These percentages
shall be applied to the base pay step, not including educational incentive pay to previous
longevity increases (i.e., shall not be compounded).
43
30.3. Special Assignment Pay
Recognizing the right of the City to transfer and assign as determined by the Chief, special
assignment pay will be paid per an employee's current assignment as follows
Motorcycle' 5%
K-92 5%
Detectives 5-10%
TNT/Crisis Negotiation Unit 3-5%
SRO 3-5%
Transit Police3 2.5%
Field Training Officer/Coach(Patrol Only)4 2.5%
Mental Health Response Team 5%
1 Motorcycle Officer activities shall be conducted on-duty. Acceptance of the assignment is based upon
willingness to care for the motorcycle off-duty. Employees who serve as Motorcycle Officers shall receive a pay
differential of five percent(5%)of their base salary while serving in that capacity and shall not receive overtime
wages for off-duty care of the motorcycle. The parties intend to compensate for any off-duty care,cleaning,fueling,
feeding or grooming at the overtime rate computed based upon the FLSA or Oregon minimum wage(whichever is
greater). The five percent(5%)differential compensates for approximately 45 minutes per day. The parties agree
that not more than 45 minutes per day is required for off-duty care of the motorcycle. This agreement is based in part
upon the Letter Ruling of September 25, 1985,of the Deputy Administrator,Wage and Hour Division,United
States Department of Labor. The parties agree that commuting to work with the motorcycle does not constitute
"hours of work"solely because of being on the bike. Motorcycle Officers shall not be entitled to a call back
premium when duty concerns maintenance of the motorcycle. Such time shall be treated as overtime.
2 An evaluation of the time needed for routine care,inclusive of feeding,grooming,and exercise,has
determined that 30 minutes per day is reasonable and sufficient to meet those daily responsibilities.At the discretion
of the city,the employee may be relieved from duty for the equivalent of 3.5 hours per workweek to offset this time
or be assigned a full shift and receive additional compensation for those 3.5 hours beyond their regularly scheduled
shift. Canine handlers will not be granted the 30 minutes per day when they are not physically caring for the dog(i.e.
when dog is kenneled or being cared for by another party).
3 The Transit Police Division special assignment pay is in recognition and consideration of the more
directed patrol mission,the greater likelihood of becoming involved in more complex investigations and the need to
address mission schedule flexibility and the prerequisites of the IGA(Intergovernmental Agreement)between
TriMet and the City of Tigard. The Transit Police Position has a regular work schedule as defined in article 12.2(a)
and(b).It is agreed that the hours worked by the Transit Police Officer may be flexed.When a Transit Police
Officer's shift assignment is changed with the Transit Police unit,this shift change shall be completed pursuant to
Sections 25.3 (overtime Waiver)and 25.4(Adjustment of Schedule at Rotation)of the contract.
4FTOs also receive an additional 2.5%when actively training a recruit. See Article 30.7.
Except in the case of Motorcycle, Mental Health Response Team, and K-9 assignments,
employees will receive 3% (5% for detectives) for the first year in any assignment and will be
eligible for an increase to 5% (10% for detectives) after serving in the assignment for one year.
44
Employees who have previously served in the assignment for more than one year shall start at the
higher percentage.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 30.3, no employee may receive more
than a total of 10% in special assignment pay.
For career development, an employee may volunteer to work a shift in a specialty
assignment in order to determine whether they wish to put in for such assignment. The Chief, in
their discretion, may approve such voluntary assignment, based on operational needs. In such
case, the employee shall not receive assignment pay for the shift in question nor shall the
employee be eligible for shift differential under Article 13.4 for the shift in question.
Staff assigned to the operations division and receiving special assignment premiums shall
bid based on seniority within the previously identified shift slots and no more than two (2)
identical specialty assignment positions may have a common training day on each shift.
30.4. Bilingual Incentive
An employee shall be eligible to receive a three percent (3%) Spanish language premium
if they provide the City with proof on an annual basis that they meet standards acceptable to the
City. The City may determine that other languages qualify for the foregoing bilingual incentive
based on a demonstrated need.
30.5. Standby
Any employee required to be on standby, whether on a weekend or during the workweek,
will be compensated two dollars and twenty-five cents ($2.25) for every hour so acting.
Employees on standby must be available by phone, able to respond within one hour of being
called, and fit for duty.
30.6. Acting Supervisor
Appointment of non-supervisory personnel to a supervisory position may be made on an
acting basis to fill a temporary vacancy. An employee holding an acting supervisory position
shall be entitled to a five percent(5%) premium for all time so assigned.
30.7. Coaching
When a Field Training Officer assigned to patrol is actively training a recruit, they will
receive two and one-half percent (2.5%) for all hours worked in the pay period in addition to the
two and one-half percent(2.5%) specialty assignment pay in Article 30.3.
45
When an employee, other than a Field Training Officer assigned to patrol, is formally
assigned by the supervisor to actively train a probationary employee or an employee entering a
new assignment, they will receive a premium of five percent(5%) of base salary rate for all hours
worked in the pay period.
30.8. Higher Classification
Employees assigned to work in a higher classification, other than what is described in
Sections 30.6 & 30.7 of this Article, shall be entitled to a five percent(5%)premium for all time
so assigned.
30.9. Take-Home Cars for Employees in Detective Assignments
The City agrees that it will provide a take-home car for any employee in a Detective
assignment.
30.10. ORPAT Incentive
Employees will be provided the opportunity to participate in the DPSST certified ORPAT
course twice per fiscal year. Scheduling of this testing shall be determined by the Chief of Police
and will allow for make-up tests and re-tests as described herein.
Recognizing that participation in this incentive program is purely voluntary, all ORPAT
testing will be done off duty and without compensation. The City will provide the location and all
testing equipment, including a certified ORPAT instructor to facilitate the testing.
Prior to participating in the fitness incentive, employees will be required to sign a waiver
indicating they understand the physical challenges of ORPAT and the risks of participating. If at
any time, in the opinion of the ORPAT instructor or on scene supervisor, the employee appears to
be in physical distress, the testing will be stopped.
Those Employees who successfully complete the ORPAT course in a time that is
considered passing on their first attempt will receive an incentive bonus of two hundred and fifty
dollars ($250.00). An employee may take the ORPAT twice/year, with a maximum incentive of
$500/fiscal year.
The parties recognize that the City will reflect any and all amounts paid as allowances,
bonuses, and/or incentives as subject to the IRS and Oregon payroll tax deduction. For purposes
of this agreement, the minimum standard for passing will be the time established as passing by
DPSST for an Entry Level Police Officer.
46
If an Employee fails to pass the ORPAT, that Employee may request a re-test within(1)
month after their first attempt. At the discretion of the Chief of Police, the Employee may be
allowed to retake the ORPAT at a mutual agreed date, within(2)months after the Employee's
request.
If an Employee passes the ORPAT on their re-test they will receive an incentive bonus of
one hundred and fifty dollars ($150). The parties recognize that the City will reflect any and all
amounts paid as allowances, bonuses, and/or incentives as subject to the IRS and Oregon payroll
tax deduction.
If an Employee is unable to participate in the scheduled ORPAT test due to vacation,
court, bona-fide illness or injury or other reasonable conflict,the Employee may request a
makeup test without penalty so long as the make-up test is completed and passed within a
mutually agreed time frame between the Employee and the Chief of Police.
For make-up tests or re-tests to qualify, officers must first obtain pre-authorization from
the Chief', and then coordinate the make-up or re-test with a local police agency, when that
agency is running their own testing.
Reasonable efforts shall be taken to complete the make-up test within(3) months of the
originally missed scheduled test.
Employees who choose not to participate, or who seek this incentive,but do not meet the
minimum ORPAT passing standard as defined-in this agreement, will not be negatively impacted.
30.11. Shift Work Premium
An employee regularly assigned to swing shift will receive an additional premium of two
percent (2.0%). Swing shift is defined as a majority of the workday after 1400 hours. An
employee regularly assigned to night shift will receive an additional premium of three percent
(3.0%). Night shift is defined as a majority of the workday after 2200 hours. Employees may be
eligible for the swing shift premium or night shift premium but not both.
ARTICLE 31 — SAVINGS CLAUSE
If any article or section of this Agreement or any amendment thereto should be rendered
invalid by operation of law, or held invalid by any lawful tribunal having jurisdiction, or if
compliance with or enforcement of any article or section should be rendered unlawful by any
lawful tribunal having jurisdiction,by statute passed after the effective date of this Agreement, or
47
by the decision of a court of competent jurisdiction involving the same or similar language
contained in the collective bargaining agreement of another public agency in Oregon, the
remainder of this Agreement and addenda shall not be affected thereby, an the parties shall enter
into immediate collective bargaining negotiations for the purpose of arriving at a mutually
satisfactory replacement for such article or section.
ARTICLE 32 —LEGAL DEFENSE FUND

bargaining unit, who are eligible, are enrolled as participants in Plan II and Plan VI of the Legal
Defense Fund (LDF) of the Peace Officers Research Association of California(PORAC).
32.2. During the first calendar week of December, March, June and September of each year,
the City and the Association shall ascertain the amount due to PORAC for enrolling all eligible
bargaining unit represented employees in coverage under Plan II and Plan VIi for each
subsequent calendar quarter. Said calendar quarter amounts shall be equal to the number of
eligible bargaining unit represented employees employed by the City in December 1, March 1,
June 1, and September 1 times the actual monthly amount charged by PORAC per covered
employee per month for individual coverage, to a maximum amount of eleven dollars ($11.00)

32.5. The Association will extend PORAC Legal Defense Fund coverage to sworn non-
represented police officers.
48
ARTICLE 33 —INABILITY TO PERFORM ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS
33.1. Brady Disclosures
A. The parties recognize that United States Supreme Court has consistently held that
prosecutors have a duty to disclose potentially exculpatory evidence to defense attorneys prior to
trial. The parties acknowledge that there is a difference between a prosecutor's determination that
it has a duty to disclose information about an officer and a determination that a prosecutor will
not call an officer to testify.
B. A disciplinary action or any other adverse personnel action may not be undertaken
by the City against an employee represented by the Association solely because that employee's
name has been placed on a list maintained by a prosecuting attorney's office of recurring
witnesses for whom there is known potential impeachment information, or that the employee's
name may otherwise be subject to disclosure pursuant to Brady v. Maryland, 272 U.S. 83 (1963).
C. This Section(Article 33.1) does not prohibit the City from taking disciplinary
action or any other adverse personnel action, including layoff, for inability to perform an essential
function of the job (testifying or writing credible reports).
D. The City will contemporaneously provide written notice to the Association and
copies of all materials provided to the prosecutor's office whenever the City refers a matter to a
prosecutor's office for a Brady list review, or whenever the City is asked to provide materials to a
prosecutor's office for the purposes of Brady list review by a prosecutor's office.
33.2. Inability to Perform Essential Functions
A. After any CBA investigative due process or any other type of due process has
finally concluded that an employee is unable to perform an essential function of their job, for any
reason other than a healthcare related reason, the City may place an employee on a non-
disciplinary layoff—specifically identified as "inability to perform an essential function layoff."
B. To use this Section (Article 33.2), the City must provide written notice to the
Association and impacted employee and an opportunity for the Association and/or impacted
employee to respond. Along with the notice, the City will provide a copy of the information in its
possession related to the impacted employee's inability to perform an essential function.
49
C. After discussing the matter with the Association, the City will issue a written
decision to the employee and the Association about the impacted employee's employment status
with the City.
D. If the circumstance that prevents the employee from performing an essential
function is resolved, the employee will be recalled, provided there is an open position for which
the employee is qualified. Recall rights under this provision will expire after twelve (12) months
and are independent of layoff and recall rights under Article 24.
E. The parties agree that for purposes of this Section (Article 33.2) the ability to
testify, carry a firearm, maintain DPSST certification, and drive a motor vehicle are essential
functions for all sworn personnel.
F. This Section(Article 33.2) does not prevent the City from investigating
misconduct or issuing discipline based upon the circumstances that led to an employee's inability
to perform an essential function of their job.
33.3. This Section(Article 33.2) does not apply to any situation where an employee is unable
to perform an essential function of their job due to a healthcare condition.
ARTICLE 34—RECOUPMENT OF MONIES - OVERPAYMENT AND
UNDERPAYMENT
34.1. In the event an employee is either overpaid or underpaid by the City, the party that first
learns of the payment error has an obligation to report the error, in writing, to the other party as
soon as the error is discovered and not later than seven (7) calendar days to the Human Resources
department of the City. For this Article Monies will mean anything related to wages, benefits,
reimbursements and/or advances.
34.2. The City will provide written verification to the Association and the impacted employee.
The City and the Association, on behalf of an employee represented by the Association, will
work collaboratively to address the error.
A. Errors resulting in under-payments to the employee will be repaid in full by the
City within fourteen(14) calendar days of the verification of the underpayment.
50
B. Errors resulting in overpayments to the employee will be repaid by the employee
to the City in one (1) of the following ways by the employee electing one (1) of the below options
within fourteen(14) calendar days:
i. The employee may elect in writing to have the entire overpayment recouped from
the employee's next available paycheck following the discovery and verification
of the overpayment; or
ii. The employee may elect in writing to repay the overpayment in equal increments
over the same number of pay periods in which the error occurred. For example, if
an employee was overpaid by $100 per pay period for five (5)pay periods, the
employee may repay $100 per pay period during the next five (5)pay periods after
the error is discovered.
iii. If an employee ends employment before the overpayment is repaid, the remaining
amount owed will be deducted from the employee's final paycheck, including
any vacation, comp time, and holiday-in-lieu payouts, up to the employee netting
at least the statutory minimum in ORS 18.385 (Wage Exemption) (after deducting
for taxes and other legally required garnishments, such as support obligations).
The employee will also be expected to make arrangements with the City to
reimburse any remaining balance within sixty (60) days. Failure to satisfy this
obligation will result in the collection of debt as provided by law.
iv. In lieu of the repayment options outlined in 34.2(b)(i-iii) above, the employee and
the Human Resources Director or designee may agree to another repayment
schedule so long as it does not extend the repayment period and so long as the
Association is in agreement as to the terms of the repayment.
34.3. If an employee does not elect option 34.2(b)(i-iii) within fourteen (14) calendar days of
being notified of the overpayment, the entire overpayment will be recouped from the next
available paycheck or paychecks until the amount is recouped.
ARTICLE 35— TERMINATION
The July 1, 2023, wage increase set forth in Section 29.1 is effective and retroactive to
July 1, 2023. The rest of this Agreement shall be effective as of the date of its signing by both

bargaining unit, the dispute shall be submitted to the Employment Relations Board. When the
parties are unable to agree as to the representation status of such a new position, the City shall
have the option of leaving the position vacant or filling the position at a provisional wage rate
until the issue is resolved. If such a position is filled on a provisional basis and if there is a
subsequent adjustment in the wage rate, such adjustment shall be retroactive to the date that the

The failure of the Association to object in writing to the proposed change within ten(10) days of
the notice provided for above shall serve as a waiver of the Association's right to bargain. The
Association's written objection shall specify the nature of the objection and identify whether the
Association believes the proposed change involves a mandatory bargainable subject or a
mandatory bargainable impact of a permissive subject.
Thereafter, the parties shall bargain in good faith over said changes for a period not to
exceed thirty(30) days. If after the passage of thirty (30) days, the parties have not reached

243.746 by requesting a list of eleven (11) Oregon and/or Washington arbitrators from the
Employment Relations Board who are members of the American Arbitration Association(AAA).
If the parties cannot mutually agree to an arbitrator, they will by lot alternately strike names and
the last one (1) will be the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall conduct a hearing within thirty (30)
days of announcement of their selection, or at such other time as the parties mutually agree.

maximum of 320 hours, only if the employee has submitted a memo to their supervisor, prior to
reaching 300 hours, that includes a plan for how/when they will reduce their balance back safely
below the 320-hour cap. If then, the employee is unable to keep the plan due to the operational

option. If such change were needed, it would be at the start of a month and the city would provide
at least thirty(30) days' notice to the Association.

position, in a lower classification in the bargaining unit,providing the employee has greater
seniority than the employee being bumped, and is qualified to perform the requirements of the
job. An employee who is promoted out of the bargaining unit and into management shall retain
their unit seniority and may bump back into the unit, if laid off, if the management employee has
the greater seniority as a unit member. The employee shall bump the employee in the lower class
with the least seniority with the department. A sworn employee may not bump a non-sworn
employee unless the sworn employee previously held the non-sworn classification. Employees
shall be called back from layoff according to seniority in the classification from which the

SRO 3-5%
Transit Police3 2.5%

1 Motorcycle Officer activities shall be conducted on-duty. Acceptance of the assignment is based upon
willingness to care for the motorcycle off-duty. Employees who serve as Motorcycle Officers shall receive a pay
differential of five percent(5%)of their base salary while serving in that capacity and shall not receive overtime
wages for off-duty care of the motorcycle. The parties intend to compensate for any off-duty care,cleaning,fueling,
feeding or grooming at the overtime rate computed based upon the FLSA or Oregon minimum wage(whichever is
greater). The five percent(5%)differential compensates for approximately 45 minutes per day. The parties agree
that not more than 45 minutes per day is required for off-duty care of the motorcycle. This agreement is based in part
upon the Letter Ruling of September 25, 1985,of the Deputy Administrator,Wage and Hour Division,United
States Department of Labor. The parties agree that commuting to work with the motorcycle does not constitute
"hours of work"solely because of being on the bike. Motorcycle Officers shall not be entitled to a call back
premium when duty concerns maintenance of the motorcycle. Such time shall be treated as overtime.
44
2 An evaluation of the time needed for routine care,inclusive of feeding,grooming,and exercise,has
determined that 30 minutes per day is reasonable and sufficient to meet those daily responsibilities.At the discretion
of the city,the employee may be relieved from duty for the equivalent of 3.5 hours per workweek to offset this time
or be assigned a full shift and receive additional compensation for those 3.5 hours beyond their regularly scheduled
shift. Canine handlers will not be granted the 30 minutes per day when they are not physically caring for the dog(i.e.
when dog is kenneled or being cared for by another party).
3 The Transit Police Division special assignment pay is in recognition and consideration of the more
directed patrol mission,the greater likelihood of becoming involved in more complex investigations and the need to
address mission schedule flexibility and the prerequisites of the IGA(Intergovernmental Agreement)between
TriMet and the City of Tigard. The Transit Police Position has a regular work schedule as defined in article 12.2(a)
and(b).It is agreed that the hours worked by the Transit Police Officer may be flexed.When a Transit Police
Officer's shift assignment is changed with the Transit Police unit,this shift change shall be completed pursuant to
Sections 25.3 (overtime Waiver)and 25.4(Adjustment of Schedule at Rotation)of the contract.
4FTOs also receive an additional 2.5%when actively training a recruit. See Article 30.7.
Except in the case of Motorcycle, Mental Health Response Team, and K-9 assignments,
employees will receive 3% (5% for detectives) for the first year in any assignment and will be
eligible for an increase to 5% (10% for detectives) after serving in the assignment for one year.
Employees who have previously served in the assignment for more than one year shall start at the
higher percentage.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 30.3, no employee may receive more
than a total of 10% in special assignment pay.
For career development, an employee may volunteer to work a shift in a specialty
assignment in order to determine whether they wish to put in for such assignment. The Chief, in
their discretion, may approve such voluntary assignment, based on operational needs. In such
case, the employee shall not receive assignment pay for the shift in question nor shall the
employee be eligible for shift differential under Article 13.4 for the shift in question.
Staff assigned to the operations division and receiving special assignment premiums shall
bid based on seniority within the previously identified shift slots and no more than two (2)
identical specialty assignment positions may have a common training day on each shift.

called, and fit for duty.
30.6. Acting Supervisor
Appointment of non-supervisory personnel to a supervisory position may be made on an
acting basis to fill a temporary vacancy. An employee holding an acting supervisory position
shall be entitled to a five percent (5%)premium for all time so assigned.
30.7. Coaching
When a Field Training Officer assigned to patrol is actively training a recruit, they will
receive two and one-half percent (2.5%) for all hours worked in the pay period in addition to the
two and one-half percent(2.5%) specialty assignment pay in Article 30.3.
When an employee, other than a Field Training Officer assigned to patrol, is formally
assigned by the supervisor to actively train a probationary employee or an employee entering a
new assignment, they will receive a premium of five percent(5%) of base salary rate for all hours
worked in the pay period.

course twice per fiscal year. Scheduling of this testing shall be determined by the Chief of Police
and will allow for make-up tests and re-tests as described herein.
46
Recognizing that participation in this incentive program is purely voluntary, all ORPAT
testing will be done off duty and without compensation. The City will provide the location and all
testing equipment, including a certified ORPAT instructor to facilitate the testing.
Prior to participating in the fitness incentive, employees will be required to sign a waiver
indicating they understand the physical challenges of ORPAT and the risks of participating. If at
any time, in the opinion of the ORPAT instructor or on scene supervisor, the employee appears to
be in physical distress, the testing will be stopped.
Those Employees who successfully complete the ORPAT course in a time that is
considered passing on their first attempt will receive an incentive bonus of two hundred and fifty
dollars ($250.00). An employee may take the ORPAT twice/year, with a maximum incentive of
$500/fiscal year.
The parties recognize that the City will reflect any and all amounts paid as allowances,
bonuses, and/or incentives as subject to the IRS and Oregon payroll tax deduction. For purposes
of this agreement, the minimum standard for passing will be the time established as passing by
DPSST for an Entry Level Police Officer.
If an Employee fails to pass the ORPAT, that Employee may request a re-test within (1)
month after their first attempt. At the discretion of the Chief of Police, the Employee may be
allowed to retake the ORPAT at a mutual agreed date, within (2) months after the Employee's
request.
If an Employee passes the ORPAT on their re-test they will receive an incentive bonus of
one hundred and fifty dollars ($150). The parties recognize that the City will reflect any and all
amounts paid as allowances, bonuses, and/or incentives as subject to the IRS and Oregon payroll
tax deduction.
If an Employee is unable to participate in the scheduled ORPAT test due to vacation,
court, bona-fide illness or injury or other reasonable conflict,the Employee may request a
makeup test without penalty so long as the make-up test is completed and passed within a
mutually agreed time frame between the Employee and the Chief of Police.
47
For make-up tests or re-tests to qualify, officers must first obtain pre-authorization from
the Chief, and then coordinate the make-up or re-test with a local police agency, when that
agency is running their own testing.
Reasonable efforts shall be taken to complete the make-up test within(3) months of the
originally missed scheduled test.
Employees who choose not to participate, or who seek this incentive, but do not meet the
minimum ORPAT passing standard as defined-in this agreement,will not be negatively impacted.
30.11. Shift Work Premium
An employee regularly assigned to swing shift will receive an additional premium of two
percent(2.0%). Swing shift is defined as a majority of the workday after 1400 hours.An employee
regularly assigned to night shift will receive an additional premium of three percent(3.0%).Night
shift is defined as a majority of the workday after 2200 hours. Employees may be eligible for the
swing shift premium or night shift premium but not both.

ARTICLE 33 —INABILITY TO PERFORM ESSENTIAL FUNCTION' TA'd —5.15.23
33.1. Brady Disclosures
A. The parties recognize that United States Supreme Court has consistently held that
prosecutors have a duty to disclose potentially exculpatory evidence to defense
attorneys prior to trial. The parties acknowledge that there is a difference between a
prosecutor's determination that it has a duty to disclose information about an officer and
a determination that a prosecutor will not call an officer to testify.
B. A disciplinary action or any other adverse personnel action may not be undertaken by
the City against an employee represented by the Association solely because that
employee's name has been placed on a list maintained by a prosecuting attorney's office
of recurring witnesses for whom there is known potential impeachment information, or
49
that the employee's name may otherwise be subject to disclosure pursuant to Brady v.
Maryland, 272 U.S. 83 (1963).
C. This Section(Article 33.1) does not prohibit the City from taking disciplinary action or
any other adverse personnel action,including layoff,for inability to perform an essential
function of the job (testifying or writing credible reports).
D. The City will contemporaneously provide written notice to the Association and copies
of all materials provided to the prosecutor's office whenever the City refers a matter to
a prosecutor's office for a Brady list review, or whenever the City is asked to provide
materials to a prosecutor's office for the purposes of Brady list review by a prosecutor's
office.
33.2. Inability to Perform Essential Functions
A. After any CBA investigative due process or any other type of due process has finally
concluded that an employee is unable to perform an essential function of their job, for
any reason other than a healthcare related reason, the City may place an employee on a
non-disciplinary layoff— specifically identified as "inability to perform an essential
function layoff"
B. To use this Section (Article 33.2), the City must provide written notice to the
Association and impacted employee and an opportunity for the Association and/or
impacted employee to respond. Along with the notice, the City will provide a copy of
the information in its possession related to the impacted employee's inability to perform
an essential function.
C. After discussing the matter with the Association, the City will issue a written decision
to the employee and the Association about the impacted employee's employment status
with the City.
D. If the circumstance that prevents the employee from performing an essential function is
resolved, the employee will be recalled, provided there is an open position for which
the employee is qualified.Recall rights under this provision will expire after twelve(12)
months and are independent of layoff and recall rights under Article 24.
E. The parties agree that for purposes of this Section (Article 33.2) the ability to testify,
carry a firearm, maintain DPSST certification, and drive a motor vehicle are essential
functions for all sworn personnel.
50
F. This Section (Article 33.2) does not prevent the City from investigating misconduct or
issuing discipline based upon the circumstances that led to an employee's inability to
perform an essential function of their job.
33.3. This Section(Article 33.2) does not apply to any situation where an employee is unable
to perform an essential function of their job due to a healthcare condition.
TA'd 6/14/23
ARTICLE 34—RECOUPMENT OF MONIES - OVERPAYMENT AND
UNDERPAYMENT
34.1. In the event an employee is either overpaid or underpaid by the City, the party that first
learns of the payment error has an obligation to report the error, in writing, to the other party as
soon as the error is discovered and not later than seven (7) calendar days to the Human Resources
department of the City. For this Article Monies will mean anything related to wages, benefits,
reimbursements and/or advances.
34.2. The City will provide, written verification to the Association and the impacted employee.
The City and the Association, on behalf of an employee represented by the Association, will
work collaboratively to address the error.
A. Errors resulting in under-payments to the employee will be repaid in full by the City
within fourteen (14) calendar days of the verification of the underpayment.
B. Errors resulting in overpayments to the employee will be repaid by the employee to
the City in one (1) of the following ways by the employee electing one (1) of the
below options within fourteen(14) calendar days:
i. The employee may elect in writing to have the entire overpayment recouped from
the employee's next available paycheck following the discovery and verification
of the overpayment; or
ii. The employee may elect in writing to repay the overpayment in equal increments
over the same number of pay periods in which the error occurred. For example, if
an employee was overpaid by $100 per pay period for five (5)pay periods, the
employee may repay $100 per pay period during the next five (5)pay periods after
the error is discovered.
51
iii. If an employee ends employment before the overpayment is repaid, the remaining
amount owed will be deducted from the employee's final paycheck, including
any vacation, comp time, and holiday-in-lieu payouts, up to the employee netting
at least the statutory minimum in ORS 18.385 (Wage Exemption) (after deducting
for taxes and other legally required garnishments, such as support obligations).
The employee will also be expected to make arrangements with the City to
reimburse any remaining balance within sixty (60) days. Failure to satisfy this
obligation will result in the collection of debt as provided by law.
iv. In lieu of the repayment options outlined in 34.2(b)(i-iii) above, the employee and
the Human Resources Director or designee may agree to another repayment
schedule so long as it does not extend the repayment period and so long as the
Association is in agreement as to the terms of the repayment.
34.3. If an employee does not elect option 34.2(b)(i-iii) within fourteen (14) calendar days of
being notified of the overpayment, the entire overpayment will be recouped from the next
available paycheck or paychecks until the amount is recouped.
TA'd 8/24/23

action.:
Carryforwards from FY23 Budget:
•CIP 91027 Improvements for Police Department Property—A carryforward request, related to
delays in locating adequate for storage and contract awarding. With these delays the project did not
start until FY24, so requesting full budget be carryforward into FY24. ($295,000)
•CIP 91028 Public Works Washdown Facility—Bid was delayed until FY24 due to lack of available
staff. ($73,500)
•CIP 92065 Lasich Park Property Development Plan -This is a coordinated project with TVWD.
Design on the Property Plan and Boat Launch Feasibility Study has been delayed and will continue
after TVWD's project at the location is complete. ($262,000)
•CIP 92068 Cook Park Accessible Boat Ramp—Permitting delays and redesign to comply with
OSMB. ($97,000)
•CIP 92069 Cook Park Inclusive Play Structure—Delays due to the addition of a donated scoreboard
and associated installation. ($341,000)
•CIP 92072 Parks and Recreation System Plan SDC Analysis and Rate Study—Staffing challenges
and the Tyler Implementation Project has caused this project to be a lower level on the priority list.
($10,000)
•CIP 95065 Pacific Highway Street Lights—This is a coordinated project with ODOT. Construction
began June 2023,with most work to be completed in FY 24. ($522,072)
•CIP 95070 Greenburg Road,Tiedeman Avenue, and North Dakota Street Study—Delay in design
work. ($75,000)
•CIP 96057 Abandon Reservoirs 9-1 and 9-2 and Pump Station 11 —Weather related construction
delays. ($50,000)
•CIP 97017 Main Street Green Street Retrofit (Phase 2) —Supply chain delays causing completion of
project into FY24. ($200,000)
Carryforwards(CF)from FY23 Budget with additional Appropriation requests:
•CIP 91025 Police, City Hall, and Permit Center Roof Maintenance—Material cost increased much
higher than anticipated. (CF: $18,500,plus $65,500)
•CIP 92046 Fanno Creek Trail (RFFA Grant) —Coordinated project with ODOT. ODOT's bids
coming in more than$2M higher than initial estimate. (CF: $111,000,plus $1,100,000)
•CIP 91024 Library HVAC System—Initial bids coming in higher than anticipated. Reallocating the
budget planned in FY25 budget from CIP 91026 towards this project in FY24. (CF: $214,500,plus
$975,000)
New Requests:
•CIP 95080 Power to the Pedal Pilot Program—The City was awarded $105,800 grant from PGE
Drive Change Fund in late FY23. Portion of the project was completed in FY23 utilizing available
fund appropriations.This request is to increase the fund appropriation in the new year to cost the
remaining work needed. ($55,412)
•CIP 95081 Ki-a-Kuts Bridge Pile Rehabilitation—During recent maintenance found that
rehabilitation of steel piles at Bents 3 and 4 is needed due to corrosive water conditions. Project
estimate is $182,000. Only design work is currently being requested with the construction planned to
occur and get budgeted in FY25. ($38,000)
•CIP 92063 River Terrace Parks—Negotiations with the developer to purchase park land in River
Terrace came in higher than anticipated. ($150,000)
•CIP 96062 Water System Plan Addendum for Kingston Terrace—Work on this system addendum
kicked off in FY23 utilizing existing appropriations from other projects and therefore required no
budget amendments at the time. While originally planned to be completed during FY23, delays with
the Kingston Terrace development have led this to move to FY24. As such, the project now
requires dedicated appropriations in the current fiscal year. ($172,000)
•Q1PD02 Levy Outreach—The Police Department is working closely with the City Manager's Office
and Design& Communications and has identified the need to increase public awareness and to
develop postcard mailers for Tigard residents to receive information about the Police levy renewal.
The estimated cost of two mailers (including postage) to all 36,250 Tigard households is about
$25,000. Funds are available within the Asset Forfeiture Fund and just need to recognize the
appropriation. ($25,000)
•Q1PD01 Levy Patrol vehicle replacement—One of the two vehicles purchased for use by Police
Levy fund to support one of the eight (8) Levy funded patrol officers was hit and requires
replacement. The Levy vehicle was not originally slated for replacement until FY26, and additional
appropriation is required to accommodate. ($60,000)
Correction of Funding:
•CIP 95060 Tigard Street (Fanno Creek) Bridge Replacement—Correcting the transfer and fund
appropriations to match planned budget. Project was to be City Gas Fund but transfer shows in Gas
Tax Fund. No change to planned expense, only correction of the source of fund and associated
appropriation. ($1,610,000; net zero)
