The City Manager or his or her designated representative shall meet with the employee and/or the employee's designated representative within fifteen (15) working days after submission of the grievance. The City Manager, or his or her designated representative, after careful review, may affirm, reverse, or modify the disposition made at the Second Step and his or her decision, which shall be final and binding, shall be delivered in writing, to the employee and/or the employee's designated representative within fifteen (15) working days after said meeting. A copy of the written grievance to the City Manager, or his or her duly authorized representative, and of the City Manager's or his or her representative's written decision, shall be filed in the personnel records of the department and the grievant's personnel jacket maintained in the City Personnel Services Department. C. Fourth Sten. If the grievance is not resolved at the third step, the Union may request that the grievance be submitted to advisory arbitration for issuance of a recommendation. The Union must advise the Personnel Department within 10 calendar days of receipt of the decision from the City Manager at Step 3 of its desire to request to have the matter considered by an arbitrator. Upon request to submit the matter to arbitration, unless the parties can agree on an arbitrator to hear the grievance, the City will request a list of seven arbitrators from the State Mediation and Conciliation Service. Upon receipt of the list, the parties will strike names with the Union striking first. Once an arbitrator is selected, he/she will conduct a hearing regarding the grievance. The cost of the arbitrator shall be equally shared between SEIU and the City. Once the arbitrator issues his/her advisory recommendation to the parties, the recommendation shall be submitted to the City Manager who will make a final decision on the grievance within 20 days of his/her receipt of the recommendation. 17.4 Reservation of Rights. After the procedure set forth in this Article has been exhausted, the grievant, the Union, and the City shall have all rights and remedies to pursue said grievance under the law. 55 25B-57
