The Union shall have the right to <br /> appoint/elect a reasonable number of representatives who are recognized by the City as <br /> officers or work site leaders/stewards. <br /> <br /> A. Such reasonable number of work site leaders/stewards recognized by the City <br /> shall be limited to sixteen (16). <br /> <br /> B. The City's Employee Relations Manager shall be provided with a list of names <br /> and classification titles of the Union's officers as set forth in the Santa Ana City <br /> Employees, Chapter 1939/Service Employees International Union Local 721 <br /> Bylaws, as well as the names and classification titles of all work site <br /> leaders/stewards and other Union representatives. The Union agrees to inform the <br /> City in writing of any changes in said list within ten (10) calendar days. <br /> <br /> C. During the term of this Agreement, the City agrees to grant up to a total of two <br /> hundred (200) hours per fiscal year on a non-cumulative basis to enable the <br /> officers and worksite leaders/stewards to assist other bargaining unit employees in <br /> processing grievances under the Grievance Review Procedure; provided, <br /> however, that such officers and worksite leaders/stewards shall make advance <br /> arrangement with their supervisors prior to absenting themselves for such <br /> purpose. The officers and worksite leaders/stewards shall be required by the City <br /> to record and report to their supervisors the work time spent in assisting other <br /> bargaining unit employees pursuant to this provision of the Agreement. <br /> <br /> D.

The purpose of this additional three hundred (300) hours <br /> per fiscal year shall be to enable the officers and worksite leaders/stewards to <br /> assist the bargaining unit employees in processing grievances under the Grievance <br /> Review Procedure and for union activities which may include conventions, <br /> seminars and meetings. However, such officers and worksite leaders/stewards <br /> shall make advance arrangements with their supervisors prior to absenting <br /> themselves for such purposes.
