Fourth Step. If U1 is greater than or equal to U2, a standard known resistance (Ro) is inserted between the negative side of the high voltage bus and the electrical chassis. With Ro installed, the voltage (U1') between the negative side of the high voltage bus and the electrical chassis is measured (see Figure 5). The electrical isolation (Ri) is calculated according to the following formula: Ri = Ro*Ub*(1/U1' – 1/U1) Figure 5 Measurement of U1’ Electrical Chassis Energy Conversion System Assembly REESS High Voltage Bus + + Energy Conversion System - REESS - U1’ R0 Traction System Electrical Chassis If U2 is greater than U1, insert a standard known resistance (Ro) between the positive side of the high voltage bus and the electrical chassis. With Ro installed, measure the voltage (U2’) between the positive side of the high voltage bus and the electrical chassis (see Figure 6 below). The electrical isolation (Ri) is calculated according to the following formula: Ri = Ro*Ub*(1/U2’ – 1/U2) Figure 6 Measurement of U2’ U2’
Fourth Step. Within seven (7) working days after receiving the City Manager’s written decision the employee may submit the grievance for consideration by either, but not both, the Personnel Board or an arbitrator, subject, in each grievance submitted to arbitration, to the execution of “An Agreement for Arbitration” signed by the employee, the employee’s representative, if any, and the City Manager.
Fourth Step. If the grievance is not satisfactorily resolved at the third step, the grievance shall be submitted to the Board of Education to be considered in as timely a fashion as the schedule of Board meetings and the agendas therefore permit. The aggrieved and the grievance committee may present a written brief to the Board and Superintendent and may request an oral hearing on the grievance, which will be granted at the discretion of the Board.

Fourth Step. If the Association is not satisfied with the disposition of the grievance at Step Three, the Association may submit the grievance to final and binding arbitration through the American Arbitration Association, which shall act as the administrator of the proceedings. If a demand for arbitration is not filed with the American Arbitration Association within thirty (30) days of the date for the Step Three Answer, then the grievance shall be deemed withdrawn. The fees and the expenses of the arbitrator shall be shared equally by the parties. The arbitrator shall have no power to alter the terms of this Agreement. STATEMENT OF BASIC PRINCIPLES
Fourth Step. If the grievance is not resolved satisfactorily at step three (3), there shall be available a fourth step of binding arbitration. The Association may submit, in writing, on behalf of the Association, a request to the Superintendent within thirty (30) business days from receipt of the Step Three answer to enter into such arbitration. The arbitrator shall be selected from the American Arbitration Association in a manner as follows: The Voluntary Labor Rules of the American Arbitration Association then pertaining shall be followed in the selection of an arbitrator. The cost of the arbitrator shall be borne equally between the Association and the School Board. Should either party request a transcript of the proceedings, that party will bear the cost of the transcript. Neither party to the grievance will be permitted to assert grounds not previously asserted before the Board of Education. Each party shall be entitled to representation and witnesses. The arbitrator’s authority shall be strictly limited to deciding only the issue or issues presented to him/her in writing by the parties, and his/her decision must be based solely upon his or her interpretation of the meaning or application of the express language of the Agreement. The arbitrator shall have no power to alter, amend, modify, nullify, ignore or add to the terms or provisions of the Agreement.
Fourth Step. If the answer of the Directors is not satisfactory, then the Executive Board (TFCA) and the employee will have 30 days as stated in the Third Step to call for a binding arbitration. The name of the arbitrator to be selected will be from a panel requested by the parties from the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service. The City or the TFCA shall request a panel of seven (7) names from the FMCS. The parties shall select the arbitrator using the alternate strike off method. Within seven (7) days of the receipt of said panel, the City and Association shall strike names. In the event more than one grievance is referred to the same hearing, the costs of the arbitration shall be divided proportionately. All other expenses for witnesses or otherwise shall be borne by the party incurring the cost. However, any on-duty Department of Fire & Rescue Operations member called as a witness or as a representative by either side will continue to receive his regular rate of pay while attending such hearing, not to exceed the normal hours he would have been on duty.
Fourth Step. If the grievance is not settled following completion of the Third Step of the grievance procedure, the Teamsters may request binding arbitration. The request for binding arbitration must be submitted to the Human Resources Director, in writing, within ten (10) days of receipt of the response from Step Three. An arbitrator may be selected by mutual agreement of the County and the Teamsters. Should the parties fail to agree on an arbitrator, they shall make a joint request to the State Conciliation Service for a list of five (5) qualified arbitrators. The arbitrator shall be selected from the list by the parties alternately striking names, with the opportunity to strike determined by chance. All documentation supporting the parties’ positions shall be filed at least ten (10) days before the hearing with the arbitrator. The arbitrator shall not have power to alter, amend, change, add to, or subtract from any of the terms of this Memorandum of Understanding. The decision of the arbitrator shall be based solely upon the evidence and arguments presented to the arbitrator by the respective parties. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding upon the parties. The cost of employing the arbitrator shall be borne equally by the parties. All other costs such as, but not limited to, attorney’s fees and witness fees shall be borne only by the party incurring that cost.
Fourth Step. The fourth salary step level may be granted to an employee who has proven to be fully satisfactory in a given classification for one (1) additional year of service from the granting of the previous salary step increase.
Fourth Step. If the decision of the City as given in the Third Step of the Grievance Procedure is not satisfactory, then the Association shall notify the City in writing within fifteen (15) work days after the answer of the Director, that the grievance is to be submitted to arbitration. The parties may mutually agree to a mediator to discuss any grievance. The mediator may give an advisory opinion as to the merits of the grievances before him/her. Said opinion shall not be used in any subsequent arbitration; nor shall it prejudice the positions of either party. The cost of said mediation shall be borne equally by the parties. Within fifteen (15) work days after notification when a grievance is submitted to arbitration the parties will decide if the Expedited Advisory Labor Arbitration process is to be used as set forth in this contract, or, if not, then the following process for binding arbitration is to be followed. At the request of either party, the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service or the American Arbitration Association will submit a list of seven (7) names of available arbitrators. In the event that the parties cannot agree on the medium for presentation of these issues, the Federal Mediation Conciliation Service shall be used. Upon receipt of the list within fourteen (14) work days, the City and the Association representative shall alternately strike one (1) name from the list. The side to strike the first name shall be chosen by lot. The person whose name has been chosen shall become the arbitrator. The arbitration shall be heard at the arbitrator's earliest available date. The fees and expenses of the arbitrator shall be paid by the party against whom the arbitrator renders an adverse decision. In the event more than one grievance is referred to the same hearing, the costs of the arbitration shall be divided proportionately, the loser bearing the proportionate share of the costs for the cases lost. All other expenses for witnesses or otherwise shall be borne by the party incurring the cost. However, any City employee called as a witness by either side, will continue to receive his regular rate of pay while attending such a hearing, not to exceed the normal eight
