BeVirt indicated it was on the agenda and would be brought up under Item 4 on the Agenda was the City 11anager's Choice. Mr. Curnes had nothing to present. Item 5 on the Agenda was the Employee Relations Director's Choice. Mel BeVirt asked the Board to accept the job description and classification ranking for the position of Research and Development Engineer ir1 the Wastewater Treatment Plant. He felt the ranking at 530 points, Grade 10 was similar to a superintendent and the position had been created by Council, budgeted by the Department. The ranking was done with the assistance of the Director of Public Works and the Director of the Wastewater Treatment Plant. Criteria would be equivalent to A Certification and would require a degree in Sanitary Engineering . Commissioner Henning asked for a motion to approve both the Benchmark classification and job description of the position of Research and Development Engineer. Commissioner Brundage 1'1tN/et:l , seconded by CorrunissionE:r White to approve thE: motion. AYES: Brundage, Turner, Hennjng, Hanson, White NAYES: None Mr. BeVirt indicated a general grievance was filed January 4 by the International Association of Fire Fighters, Local 1736 relating to Article XII of the Memorandum of Understanding between the Englewood Firefighters Association and the City of Englewood for the years 1980-81. This Article states that "a11 -:e1nployees : c;oire1~ed by this Agreement shall be grant-ed 4-shifts/days personal leave with pay" and that "for any employee who has r,ot used the 4 shifts/days of personal leave ... the City will compensate said employee for the unused tine at the employees regul8r wage rate". The Association, he indicated, would like the perEonal leave available for non-shift workers to be increased to 8 .5 days . This figure is mathematically equivalent in days and cash compensation to the amount of personal leave now offered to shift personnel . Mr . H0lland indicated the inequity is out of proportion so that the shift worker in actuality has available over twice the amount of personal time as the non-shift worker and will get paid on a rate twice that of the non-shift worker for personal days which are cashed in at years' end. Mr. BeVirt indicated the City's position in that the contract language is clear and this is not a grievable matter. Mr. Goodman stated that if the· matter is covered by the contract, the Board should dismiss the matter. Chairperson Henning agreed and after further discussion, Corrunissioner Brundage moved that the Career Service Board not hear the grievance on the basis that the Poar0 hes no a'.r':hori ty c,r jurisdiction to grant the relief soueht .

Commissioners Henning and Turner cited JA and JB of the Agreement, with their concensus that these sections of the agreement were outside the jurisdiction of the Board. These sections cited are: J. "The parties further agree: (a) The excluc:ion of the two classifica.tions as herein provided shall be effective only during the effective term of the present Contract and the execution of this Memorandum of Understanding shall not prohibit either party from bringing the matter of the inclusion or exclusic:n of these two classifications before the Board of Career Service Commissioners or any other appropriate forum by appropriate proceedings after such effective term; nor shall either party be prohibited from applying to the Board or any other appropriate forum to resolve any other employee representation unit problem at any appropriate time.
