regarding matters governed by Civil Servic rules or statutory
provisions shall not be considered grievaaces and not subject to
the grievance procedure hereinafter set forth. Nor shall any
disciplinary actions which may be appealed to the Civil Service
Commission be considered grievances and subject to the grievance
procedure herein. Grievances, as herein defined, shall be processed
in the following manner
Step 1- If the employee cannot resolve the grievance with
his immediate supervisor, which he shall attempt to do, informally,
such employee or group of employees may notify the Grievance Committee
of the Association, in writing, setting forth the nature of the
grievance, the facts on which it is based, the provision of the
Agreement allegedly violated, and the remedy sought The Grievance
Committee shall meet within three (3) days and find if a valid
grievance does in fact exist. If no valid grievance is found
to exist, no further action is necessary.
Step 2 If the Committee finds a valid grievance does exist,
its finding in writing, along with the original request of the
employee or group of employees, shall be forwarded to the Chief
of Police for adjustment, but, in no event, any later than fifteen
(15) calendar days from the date the employee(s) knew or should
have known of the occurrence giving rise to the grievance. The
Committee, along with the employee(s) shall be present when the
grievance is preseated and discussed with the Chief.
Step 3 If within five (5) working days of submission to
the Chief of Police the grievance has not been settled, the matter
may be mutually extended for a period not to exceed a second five
(5) working days. If, after the first five (5) days period or
mutually agreed second five (5) days period no settlement has been
reached, the matter shall then be submitted in writing within fifteen
(15) days from the original request by the employee or group of
employees to the City Manager for adjustment.
Ste 4: The City Manager, upon receipt of notification of
appeal, shall call a hearing within ten (10) days. At such hearing,
the employee(s) shall present a case based upon the facts on which
it is based, the provision of the Agreement allegedly violated,
and the remedy sought as outlined in Step 1. Witnesses may be
called at the request of either party or the City Manager. The
City Manager may designate an impartial review board as an alternative
to hear the matter. The City Manager shall present his decision
in writing to the employee(s) and the Chief of Police within thirty
(30) calendar days of the date of the hearing. The decision of
the City Manager will be final, subject to the employee(s) right

Step 5. Arbitration. The arbiter shall be mutually selected
by the parties to hold a hearing on the issue in dispute at a time
and place agreed by the parties. The arbiter shall render a
written decision within thirty (30) days after the close of the
hearing The arbiter is empowered to decide only the issue presented
to him by mutual agreement of the parties. He has no power to
add to, detract from, or modify any provisions of the Agreement.
Failure to follow the timeframes in the grievance procedure constitutes
a waiver of the grievance by the Association. Taking a grievance
appeal to arbitration constitutes an election of remedies and the
waiver of all rights by the appealing employee(s), the Association,
and persons it represents, to litigate or otherwise contest the

POLICE OFFICERS' CAREER DEVELOPMENT PLAN
Section 1 - Purpose. This Career Development Plan is for
the purpose of enhancing employee satisfaction based upon a career
as a Pasco Police Officer It is founded on the assumption that
attainment of higher education directly related to the job of a
police officer has intrinsic value to the community and to the
employee's self-worth. It is also founded on the principle that
performance standards should be raised at all levels within the
ranks of the Pasco Police Department, particularly in the rank
of "Police Officer", since the vast majority of the police officers
will not become or may not desire to become supervisors for some
time, if at all. Finally, it is based on the objective of sustaining
a career service of quality police officers.
- 9 -
Section 1 (a). Temporary, provisional or probationary police
officers are not eligible to participate in career development or
maintenance programs until they have successfully passed their
probationary period and become a non-probationary regular police
officer.
Section 2 - Components of Career Development Plan for Police
Officers.
(a) Replacement of the existing educational incentive plan
shall be effective January 1, 1981, and implementation

Plan, each eligible employee shall file with the Chief
of Police a statement of goals for career development,
and a declaration of intent, all in writing, indicating
a desire to enter into a continuing education program
at any accredited educational institution in a police-
related field of study. The definition of "police-related"
shall be established by the Chief of Police with the
approval of the City Manager, but the development of
the scope of meaning for "police-related" shall be based
on the inputs of an Association/Management Committee
spelled out in a later section of this Article. Once
approved, the employee shall be responsible for developing
his/her career in harmony with the approved career development
plan of that employee.
(c) Career development premium pay to eligible employees
will be paid on a monthly basis as set forth herein.
(d) No element of the Career Development Program, including
the establishment of standards, eligibility criteria,
approval or disapproval of any employee's career development
plan, or premium pay levels, shall be subject to any
impasse procedures related to the Agreement. This Includes
grievance procedures, mediation, and/or arbitration,
under RCW 41.56, however, the City welcomes the involvement
of the Association/Management Committee as stipulated
in Section 7, as well as the written views, comments,
and suggestions of the Association on any area of concern
regarding the Career Development Plan, and the City will
deal with these concerns on their constructive merits
for the good of the police service.
(e) Eligible employees shall be eligible to receive career
development premium pay as spelled out herein, based on
(1) Maintenance of educational effort and/or (2) through
achievement in a continuing educational program (police-
related) based on a degree (AA or BA).

premium" in the amount of Ten Dollars ($10.00) per credit hour
up to a maximum of Fifty Dollars ($50.00) per month. This is
due and payable to the employee upon the satisfactory completion
of such credit hours and as long as the employee maintains a grade
point average of 2.0, or better. This premium pay shall not be
considered a part of base pay and will be suspended during any
period of time that failing grades in a particular course are being
achieved. Any suspension from duty without pay, discharge for
cause, or medical disability leave, is sufficient reason to suspend
or cease these payments, as the case requires.
Section 4 - Achievement of Degree in Continuing Education
Program/Career Maintenance Premium.
When an eligible employee under an approved program has
satisfactorily gained an AA or BA degree, then such employee shall
be eligible and will receive a monthly "career maintenance premium",
as shown below, based on the years of service with the Pasco Police
Department at the time the degree is obtained

disability leave, is sufficient cause to suspend or cease these
career maintenance payments.
Section 5 - Requalification Requirements.

police officer adhering to his/her approved career development

degree premium (AA or BA), officers must complete one
of the following options once every three (3) years,
and the educational requalification option must be completed
