Temporary employees in inverse order of seniority. b. Provisional employees in inverse order of seniority. c. Probationary employees in inverse order of seniority. d. Permanent employees in inverse order of seniority. Should two or more employees in the same classification, with the same status have equal seniority, the order of layoff shall be determined by superiority in performance as documented on the employee's performance evaluation(s).

Notification: Employees to be laid off shall be given written notification of such action (including a copy of the Personnel Rules and Regulations).

Vacancies: An employee shall be allowed to transfer to a vacant position either in the same classification, or in a lateral or lower classification in which the employee has held permanent status in the same or a different department. The requirement that the employee(s) have held permanent status in that classification may be waived if the appointing power certifies that the employee has the necessary education, experience and training for that position. b. Displacement: An employee shall be allowed to return to (a) a lateral or lower classification in the employee's current department providing the employee previously held permanent status in that classification, or (b) a lateral or lower classification in another department in which the employee previously held permanent status, providing that the employee served no less than six (6) months in that department. In both (a) and (b), the employee must have more seniority (in that and higher class ification(s)) than the least senior employee in that classification in the department in question. The employee shall only have the right to displace if there are no vacancies that the employee is qualified to fill at the same or a higher level than the highest level which that employee is qualified to fill through displacement. Such reassignments are only permissible if the employee is fully qualified, trained and capable of performing all work in the new position/classification as determined by the appointing power. If the appointing power determines that the employee is not fully qualified, trained and capable of performing all the work in the new position/classification, the reasons for such a determination shall be provided in writing to the employee, who shall be given the opportunity to respond to these reasons. 6. Exceptions: Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the appointing power determines that the public interest will not be served by application of the preceding criteria, the appointing power may lay off out of seniority order on the basis of a clearly demonstrable superiority in performance and/or qualifications. In such a case, the appointing power shall notify the employee to be laid off, in writing, specifying the basis for such a determination. 7. Reemployment: The names of employees laid off in accordance with provisions of this section shall be placed on a reemployment list if their services have been satisfactory. Names shall be placed on a classifications reemployment list in order of seniority. In the event that a person on layoff declines reemployment to a vacant position or cannot be contacted through telephone and certified mail within fifteen (15) business days, such persons' names shall be removed from the reemployment list. A reemployment list will remain in effect for two (2) years unless specifically extended, or sooner exhausted. Upon reinstatement, an employee will be eligible for all benefits acquired by the employee prior to the layoff, including prior sick leave accruals (providing the employee did not receive cash payment in lieu of the same), vacation accrual rate and seniority. Upon reemployment from the reemployment list to the same job class from which the employee was laid off, the employee will be reinstated at the same salary step held prior to the layoff. An employee shall not receive credit for time spent on layoff in computing time for any benefit entitlement. 8. Appeals: Interpretations of the provisions of this section may be appealed through the grievance procedure in Section 20.0 of the Personnel Rules and Regulations. Such grievances must be filed within five (5) business days of notification of the proposed action. For the purpose of appealing interpretations of this section, the steps in the grievance procedure prior to the meeting with the City Manager shall be deleted.

At the discretion of the City, any employee may be required, in connection with or instead of disciplinary action, to participate to the City's satisfaction, in an 26 North Coast States Carpenters Union Memorandum of Understanding July 1, 2026 — June 30, 2028 approved drug assistance or rehabilitation program. Such rehabilitation shall be at no direct cost to the City. SCOPE OF POLICY This Policy applies to all employees represented by the Union. Searches In order to promote a safe, productive and efficient workplace, the City has the right to search and inspect all City property, including but not limited to lockers, storage areas, furniture, City vehicles, and other places under the common control of the City or joint control of the City and employees. No employee has any expectation of privacy in any City building, property, or communications system, with the exception of their person and personal property. General Provisions Within thirty (30) calendar days of adoption of this Policy, and then in new employee orientation, the City shall provide new employees and existing employees with a copy of the Policy and a brief explanation of Policy requirements, and encourage them to ask questions via their supervisor or Human Resources. TERMS/DEFINITIONS Illegal Drug: Any drug or substance whose use or production is prohibited by law and/or is not lawfully available for retail purchase. Prescription Drug: A drug lawfully available for retail purchase only with a doctor's prescription. Reasonable Suspicion is based on objective factors, such as behavior, speech, body odor, appearance, or other evidence of recent drug or alcohol use that would lead the supervisor to believe that the employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol. In order to receive authority to test, the supervisor must record the factors that support reasonable suspicion on an Incident Report Form and discuss the matter with the Human Resources Manager or Department Director. If there is a reasonable suspicion of drug or alcohol abuse, the employee may, at the City's discretion, be relieved from duty and placed on administrative leave until the test results are received. The following may constitute some of the reasonable causes to believe that an employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol: • Incoherent, slurred speech; • Odor of alcohol on the breath; • Staggering gait, disorientation, or loss of balance; • Red and watery eyes, if not explained by environmental causes; • Paranoid or bizarre behavior; or • Unexplained drowsiness. 27 North Coast States Carpenters Union Memorandum of Understanding July 1, 2026 — June 30, 2028 DRUG AND ALCOHOL TESTING METHODOLOGY Reasonable Suspicion Testing The City may require a urinalysis drug test screening when the City has reasonable suspicion as defined in this Policy of illegal drug use and/ or of being under the influence of illegal drugs in the workplace. The Human Resources Manager, Department Director, or other manager if designated, must order reasonable suspicion testing. If a supervisor makes observations of an employee which may constitute reasonable cause for drug testing, the supervisor shall immediately take the following actions, if feasible, given the condition of the employee: Inform the employee that the employee may have a Union Representative present for testing, if a representative is available within forty-five (45) minutes of notification. The employee shall also be provided with the attached "Consent for Urine Test for Drugs Form" setting forth the rights and obligations of the employee; Fill out the Incident Report Form (attached), including a statement of the specific facts constituting reasonable cause to believe that the employee is under the influence of drugs, and the names of the person(s) making the supporting observations; Provide a completed copy of the Incident Report Form to the bargaining unit employee before the employee is required to be tested, (and one copy made available to the Union Representative, if present). After being given a copy of the Incident Report Form, the bargaining unit employee shall be allowed enough time to read the entire document, to understand the reasons for the test. Provide the employee with an opportunity to give an explanation of their condition. If available, the Union Representative shall be present during such explanation and shall be entitled to confer with the employee for no more than five (5) minutes before the explanation is required; If the City representative(s), after observing the employee, and hearing any explanation, concludes that there is in fact reasonable cause to believe that the employee is under the influence of drugs, the employee may be ordered to submit to a urine drug test, and the employee shall be asked to sign the Consent for Urine Test for Drugs Form. If the City has reasonable cause to believe an employee is under the influence of drugs or alcohol, as set forth in this Policy, and the employee refuses to submit to a drug test or alcohol test, this may subject the employee to discipline up to and including discharge. Alcohol Testing Procedure Alcohol testing shall be done by a law enforcement official based on a test with a preliminary screening breath testing device which is the testing method used by law enforcement officials in drunk driving cases. The law enforcement official administering the test shall explain the test to the employee being tested and properly administer the test to the employee. The screening parameters for Ethyl Alcohol shall be .04 gm/dL. -2g North Coast States Carpenters Union Memorandum of Understanding July 1, 2026 — June 30, 2028 Drug Testing Procedure The initial testing or confirmatory testing shall be done at a Substance Abuse and Mental Health Service Administration ("SAMHSA") certified laboratory.

If the primary specimen test is positive, the employee shall be informed of their right to request a test of the secondary specimen by the same laboratory, if they choose, at the City's expense. The employee will be removed from the safety -sensitive function pending the outcome of the secondary sample test results. The employee has three (3) business days from notice of the initial test results within which to make the request for the secondary sample test. An individual shall be allowed to provide the required specimen in the privacy of a stall or partitioned area, except if the laboratory requires an attendant in accordance with laboratory procedures.
