MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING <br />Between <br />CITY OF ST. ANTHONY <br />And <br />INTERNATIONAL UNION OF OPERATING <br />ENGINEERS, LOCAL 49 <br />Straight 8 Work Schedule <br />Purpose <br />To provide high quality service to the residents of St. Anthony and also to provide flexibility to employees <br />work schedules with the goal of increased production and delivery of City services. <br />Program <br />The straight 8 hour work schedule needs to be flexible with some constraints to be of benefit to the City of <br />St. Anthony and its employees. The Local 49 bargaining group will use the following guidelines: <br />1) The straight 8 hour shift will be the normal hours of work for employees during the span of this <br />memorandum. Employees shift shall be 7:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. <br />2) All crew members shall be prepared when they leave the shop with the proper tools, water, long <br />pants, bug spray, sunscreen, safety equipment etc... <br />3) The two paid 15 minute breaks will be taken as % hour break at 11:00 a.m. or as the crew's work <br />schedule dictates. <br />4) Leave your work site at end of day with only enough time to complete required end -of -day <br />procedures (i.e., fueling, clean-up, time cards, and transport time). <br />5) Extreme weather conditions may require that employees take additional rest and water breaks <br />(high heat and humidity, below zero temperatures or severe wind chill). Discuss this with your <br />supervisor before taking additional breaks. <br />6) Because of the flexibility to accommodate the daily work schedule, all employees may not be on <br />the same break schedule.

Any difficulties with <br />excessive breaks, disorganization, unfair labor requests, crew member conflicts or abuse of the program <br />as a result of the straight 8 hour shift program and this Memorandum of Understanding may be <br />terminated with 30 days written notice by either party. <br />For the City of St. Anthony: For I.U.O.E., Local No. 49: <br />Mark Casey, City Manager Todd Doncavage, Business <br />Date: <br />Date: <br />23 <br />M <br />
