The Area is accurately depicted on the map attached hereto on Notice Exhibit B and incorporated herein. All interested persons, including all persons owning taxable real property located within the proposed Special Service Area No. 2026-1, may file written objections with the Village Clerk and will be given an opportunity to be heard at the hearing regarding the formation of and the boundaries of the proposed Special Service Area No. 2026-1, and the tax levy and an opportunity to file objections to the amount of the tax levy. The purpose for the formation of the proposed Special Service Area No. 2026-1, in general, is to provide special governmental services for maintaining, repairing, and reconstructing stormwater improvements, including all storm sewers, detention systems, stormwater detention or retention basins, and compensatory storage facilities that are necessary or desirable to convey stormwater drainage from, or store stormwater drainage (collectively the “Services”), in the Area. The proposed Services are for maintenance and other purposes as required to provide the Services. It is proposed that to pay for such services, the Village shall levy an annual ad valorem tax based upon the whole equalized assessed value on each parcel of property in the proposed Special Service Area 2026-1 by the Village, sufficient to produce revenues to provide the Services. Initial tax will be imposed when the need arises to provide needed Services. The initial amount of taxes to be levied within the proposed Special Service Area 2026-1 shall be $50,000.00. The maximum rate of taxes to be extended within the proposed Special Service Area in any year thereafter shall not exceed one percent (1%, being $1.00 for every $100.00) of the whole equalized assessed value of the property within the proposed Special Service Area 2026-1.” Said taxes shall be imposed for an indefinite period of time after the date of the ordinance establishing the proposed Special Service Area 2026-1. Said taxes shall be in addition to all other taxes provided by law and shall be levied pursuant to the provisions of the Illinois Property Tax Code. Notwithstanding the foregoing, taxes shall not be levied hereunder and said Area shall be “dormant”, and shall take effect only if the owners association or property owner(s) fails to maintain, repair or replace the stormwater improvements. The President and Board of Trustees shall hear and determine all protests and objections at the hearing and the hearing may be adjourned to another date without further notice other than a motion to be entered upon the minutes fixing the time and place it will reconvene. At the public hearing or at the first regular meeting thereafter, the President and Board of Trustees may delete area from the proposed Special Service Area No. 2026-1. In accordance with the provisions of Section 27-55 of 35 ILCS 200, if a petition signed by at least 51% of the electors residing within the special service area and by at least 51% of the owners of record of the land included within the boundaries of the special service area is filed with the Village Clerk within 60 days following the final adjournment of the public hearing, objecting to the creation of the special service district, the enlargement of the area, the levy or imposition of a tax for the provision of special services to the area, or to a proposed increase in the tax rate, the district shall not be created or enlarged, or the tax shall not be levied or imposed nor the rate increased.

FROM: Jon Pape, Assistant Village Manager ITEM TYPE: Ordinance - Village Board REQUEST SUMMARY Village staff has been contacted by numerous vendors interested in installing fiber internet service, also referred to as Fiber to the Home (FTTH), throughout the Village. These proposals include installing fiber infrastructure in the rights- of-way (ROW) throughout the Village, allowing for individual customers (both residential and commercial) to sign-up for service and be connected to main lines. Village staff has worked with Corporation Counsel on this matter to develop a Master License Agreement (MLA) process to license these vendors to apply for permit to install infrastructure in the public ROW. The goal of the MLA is to provide the following: • Coordination of ROW access and restoration standards • Coordination with existing ROW users • Provide a clear process for permit submittals and approvals • Create service provisions to municipal owned facilities • Recuperate reasonable costs associated with permitting this work • Establish financial guarantees for the maintenance and removal of infrastructure The proposed ordinance amends the powers and duties of the Village Manager with the Village Code and authorize the Village Manager to negotiate and enter into agreements for the use of Village ROW by vendors wishing to install fiber optic cable throughout the Village for the purpose of providing public utility internet service to residents and businesses, commonly referred to as Fiber to the Home (FTTH). FINANCIAL IMPACT N/A RECOMMENDATION Approval of an Ordinance granting the Village Manager authority to allow use of Village rights of way by utilities and telecommunication providers.

FROM: Jana Dickson, Assistant Corporation Counsel ITEM TYPE: Action Item - Village Board REQUEST SUMMARY Village staff has been negotiating the acquisition of certain property rights from the owner of the property located on the southwest corner of Beverly Road and Beacon Pointe Dr. The property rights include fee simple right of way, a permanent easement for utilities, temporary easements for drainage. The property rights sought, are the only remaining property rights needed by the County in order commence the long- anticipated improvement of Shoe Factory Road from west of Essex Drive to east of Beverly Road. After over two years of negotiating with the property owners, Village staff has been unable to make substantial progress in the acquisition and has determined that exercising the power of eminent domain and seeking quick-take authority from the legislature is the most expeditious way forward. Village staff has been working with our lobbyist and legislators to have legislation introduced granting the Village quick-take authority. A public hearing and board resolution requesting quick-take authority, among other things, are required to comply with House Rule 41 and Senate Rule 5-6 before quick-take authority can be granted. If the legislature approves the Village's request, the Village will have one year to exercise the authority and acquire the property through quick-take. FINANCIAL IMPACT Quck-take authority provides a mechanism for the Village to acquire the necessary property rights prior to a court determining the "just compensation" that must be paid to the owner for the property rights. In the event the Village obtains and exercises quick- take authority, the Village is required to continue to engage in a condemnation lawsuit to determine the constitutionally required just compensation. At present, Village- retained appraisers have set a value of the property, and an offer has been made to the owner, in the amount of $486,000.

________, 2026 between the VILLAGE OF HOFFMAN ESTATES (hereinafter referred to as the "Village") and the METROPOLITAN ALLIANCE OF POLICE HOFFMAN ESTATES CHAPTER 97 (hereinafter referred to as the "Chapter"). It is the intent and purpose of this Agreement to set forth the parties' entire agreement with respect to the rates of pay, hours of employment, fringe benefits, and other conditions of employment that will be in effect during the term of this Agreement for employees covered by this Agreement; to prevent interruptions of work and interference with the operations of the Village; to encourage and improve efficiency; and to provide procedures for the prompt and peaceful adjustment of grievances as provided herein. NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows: vi Page 71 of 198  ARTICLE I Recognition and Collective Bargaining Section 1: Recognition The Village recognizes the Chapter as the sole and exclusive bargaining representative for all full-time sworn officers the rank of Sergeants (hereinafter referred to as “sergeant”), excluding all sworn officers above the rank of sergeant and all sworn officers below the rank of sergeant, any employees excluded from the definition of “peace officer” as defined in Section 3(k) of the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act, and all other managerial, supervisory, confidential, short-term and professional employees as defined by the Act, as amended. Section 2: Notification of Chapter Officers The Chapter shall provide the Village Manager and Police Chief with a list indicating the names and titles of all officers of the Chapter on or before April 30 of each year. In addition, the Chapter shall promptly advise the Village Manager of any changes in the officers of the Chapter by providing an updated list to the Village Manager whenever such changes may occur. Section 3: Gender Wherever the male gender is used in this Agreement, it shall be construed to include male and female employees. 1 Page 72 of 198  ARTICLE II Non-Discrimination Section 1: Non-Discrimination In accordance with applicable law, neither the Village nor the Chapter shall discriminate against any employee covered by this Agreement because of race, sex, age, religion, creed, color, national origin, disability, sexual orientation, marital status, and status as a covered veteran or Chapter membership. This Agreement is also subject to and shall be administered consistent with the requirements of the Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA). Other than Chapter membership or non-membership, any dispute concerning the interpretation or application of this Article shall be processed through the appropriate federal or state agency or court rather than through the grievance procedure set forth in this Agreement. Section 2: Non-Profiling The Hoffman Estates Police Department is committed to the ideals of integrity, teamwork, diversity, empowerment, high quality service, commitment to employees, and the protection of constitutional rights. We recognize our obligation to acknowledge and address crucial societal issues that have an impact on the law enforcement profession. One such issue is “racial profiling.” Racial profiling should not be confused with criminal profiling which is a legitimate tool in the fight against crime. Criminal profiling is an investigative method in which a sergeant, through observation of activities and environment, identifies suspicious behavior by individuals and develops a legal basis to stop them for questioning. Racial profiling refers to the decision by the police to stop and question people randomly when the race of the person is used as an indication of suspicious activity. This Department rejects racial profiling as a law enforcement tactic, and we will not encourage, tolerate or condone its use by any of our members. We recognize that a strong police presence is needed in high crime areas. Some people are distrustful of police authority and feel they are unfairly targeted by police. We understand that even proper police procedures can be intimidating and frightening to innocent citizens. We therefore realize that the appropriate use of police authority is as important as the results achieved. The Hoffman Estates Police Department recognizes the importance of community involvement in the reduction of crime, enhanced quality of life, and the safety of our sergeants and our residents. We recognize that the Village of Hoffman Estates enjoys a history rich in multiracial and multiethnic diversity, and that racial profiling is unacceptable and has no place in effective police procedures. We recognize the importance of acceptance and awareness by the community, and we strive to build strong community relationships based upon trust and understanding. We are committed to the development of training to increase sergeant effectiveness and sergeant safety. 2 Page 73 of 198  We reject police tactics based solely upon assumptions of race or ethnicity, and remain committed to the use of sound police strategies based upon probably cause, the judicious use of police discretion and the continued development of community relationships. 3 Page 74 of 198  ARTICLE III No Strike - No Lockout Section 1: No Strike Neither the Chapter nor any sergeant covered by this Agreement will instigate, promote, sponsor, engage in, or condone any strike, sympathy strike, speed-up, slowdown, sitdown, concerted stoppage of work, concerted refusal to perform overtime, picketing, concerted, abnormal or unapproved work to the rule situation, mass absenteeism or any other intentional interruption or disruption of the operations of the Village, regardless of the reason for doing so. Any or all sergeants who violate any of the provisions of this Article may be discharged or otherwise disciplined by the Village. Each sergeant who holds the position of officers or steward of the Chapter occupies a position of special trust and responsibility in maintaining and bringing about compliance with the provisions of this Article. In the event of a violation of this Section of this Article, the Chapter officers will inform its members of their obligation under this Agreement and direct them to return to work. Section 2: No Lockout The Village will not lockout any sergeant during the term of this Agreement as a result of a dispute with the Chapter. 4 Page 75 of 198  ARTICLE IV Management Rights It is understood and agreed that the Village possesses the sole right and authority to operate and direct the employees of the Village and its various departments in all aspects including, but not limited to, all rights and authority exercised by the Village prior to the execution of this Agreement, except as modified in this Agreement. These rights include, but are not limited to the right: a) To determine its mission, policies, and to set forth all standards of service offered to the public; b) To plan, direct, control, schedule and determine the operations or services to be conducted by employees of the Village; c) To determine the methods, means, number and ranks of personnel needed to carry out the department's mission, including hireback details; d) To direct the working forces; e) To hire, promote, assign, or transfer employees; f) To suspend, discipline, demote or discharge for just cause (just cause not required for demotion of probationary sergeant); g) To lay-off or relieve employees; h) To make and enforce rules and regulations; i) To introduce new or improved methods, equipment, or facilities; j) To contract out for goods and services; and k) To take any and all actions as may be necessary to carry out the mission of the Village and the Police Department in situations of civil emergency conditions as may be declared by the President of the Board of Trustees or the Village Manager pursuant to Hoffman Estates Municipal Code 3-1-11. Said action may include the suspension of the provisions of this Agreement provided that wage rates and monetary benefits shall not be suspended. All provisions of this Agreement shall be immediately reinstated once a civil emergency condition ceases to exist. In any or all Articles in this contract that have a time frame, the time frame will start the day after the civil emergency ceases to exist and any occurrences that are alleged to have occurred during the civil emergency should then be discussed in the proper manner as outlined in this contract. 5 Page 76 of 198  ARTICLE V Labor Management Meetings At the request of either party, the President of the Chapter and the Village Manager, or their designees, shall meet to discuss matters of mutual concern that do not involve negotiations for a future contract. The President of the Chapter may invite up to three (3) other Chapter unit members to attend such a meeting. The Village Manager may invite up to three (3) other Village representatives. The party requesting the meeting shall submit a written agenda at least seven (7) days in advance of the items it wishes to discuss. The agenda shall be limited to no more than four (4) items at any one meeting. Discussions at labor management meetings shall not include items being processed under the grievance procedure. The Chapter may request a meeting only after every attempt to resolve an issue within the Department has been made. Labor management meetings are intended to improve communications and shall be advisory only. 6 Page 77 of 198  ARTICLE VI Grievance Procedure Section 1: Definition A "grievance" is defined as a dispute or difference of opinion raised by an employee against the Village involving an alleged violation of an express provision of this Agreement except that any dispute or difference of opinion concerning a matter or issue subject to the jurisdiction of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners shall not be considered a grievance under this Agreement. Section 2: Procedure A grievance filed against the Village shall be processed in the following manner: Step 1: Any sergeant who has a grievance shall submit the grievance in writing to the sergeant's immediate supervisor (in most cases, the sergeant's Lieutenant) or, in the supervisor's absence, the sergeant's Bureau Commander, specifically indicating that the matter is a grievance under this Agreement. The grievance shall contain a complete statement of the facts, the provision or provisions of this Agreement which are alleged to have been violated, and the relief requested. All grievances must be presented no later than ten (10) calendar days from the date of the first occurrence of the matter giving rise to the grievance or within ten (10) calendar days after the sergeant, through the use of reasonable diligence, could have obtained knowledge of the first occurrence of the event giving rise to the grievance. The Lieutenant or Bureau Commander shall render a written response to the grievant within ten (10) calendar days after the grievance is presented. Step 2: If the grievance is not settled at Step 1 and the sergeant wishes to appeal the grievance to Step 2 of the grievance procedure, it shall be submitted in writing to the sergeant's Bureau Commander within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of the Village's answer at Step 1. The grievance shall specifically state the basis upon which the grievant believes the grievance was improperly denied at the previous step in the grievance procedure. The Bureau Commander shall render a written response to the grievant within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of this grievance. Step 3: If the grievance is not settled at Step 2 and the sergeant wishes to appeal the grievance to Step 3 of the grievance procedure, it shall be submitted in writing to the Police Chief within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of the Village's answer at Step 2. The grievance shall specifically state the basis upon which the grievant believes the grievance was improperly denied at the previous step in the grievance procedure. The Police Chief, or his designee, shall investigate the grievance and, in the course of such investigation, shall offer to discuss the grievance with the grievant and an authorized representative of the Chapter at a time mutually agreeable to the parties. If no settlement of the grievance is reached, the Police Chief, or his designee, shall provide a written answer to the grievant and the Chapter within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of the grievance. Step 4: If the grievance is not settled at Step 3 and the Chapter desires to appeal, it shall be referred by the Chapter in writing to the Village Manager, or his designee, within ten 7 Page 78 of 198  (10) calendar days after receipt of the Village's answer at Step 3. The grievance shall specifically state the basis upon which the grievant believes the grievance was improperly denied at the previous step in the grievance procedure. Thereafter, the Village Manager, or his designee, and other appropriate individuals as desired by the Village Manager, shall meet with the grievant and a Chapter representative within ten (10) calendar days of receipt of the Chapter's appeal. If no settlement is reached, the Village Manager or his designee shall submit a written answer to the grievant and the Chapter within fifteen (15) calendar days following the meeting. Section 3: Arbitration If the grievance is not settled in Step 4 and the Chapter wishes to appeal the grievance from Step 4 of the grievance procedure, the Chapter may refer the grievance to arbitration, as described below, within fifteen (15) calendar days of the Village's written answer as provided to the Chapter in Step 4: (a) The parties shall attempt to agree upon an arbitrator within five (5) business days after receipt of the notice of referral. In the event the parties are unable to agree upon the arbitrator within said five (5) day period, the parties shall jointly request the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service to submit a panel of five (5) arbitrators, each of whom shall be from Illinois and a member of the National Academy of Arbitrators. Each party retains the right to reject one panel in its entirety and request that a new panel be submitted. Both the Village and the Chapter shall have the right to strike two (2) names from the panel. The party requesting arbitration shall strike the first name; the other party shall then strike the second name. The party requesting arbitration shall then strike the third name and the other party shall then strike the fourth name. The person remaining shall be the arbitrator. (b) The arbitrator shall be notified of his selection and shall be requested to set a time and place for the hearing, subject to the availability of Chapter and Village representatives. (c) The Village and the Chapter shall have the right to request the arbitrator to require the presence of witnesses or documents. The Village and the Chapter retain the right to employ legal counsel. (d) The arbitrator shall submit his decision in writing within thirty (30) calendar days following the close of the hearing or the submission of briefs by the parties, whichever is later. (e) More than one grievance may be submitted to the same arbitrator where both parties mutually agree in writing. (f) The fees and expense of the arbitrator and the cost of a written transcript, if any, shall be divided equally between the Village and the Chapter; provided, however, 8 Page 79 of 198  that each party shall be responsible for compensating its own representatives and witnesses. Section 4: Limitations on Authority of Arbitrator The arbitrator shall have no right to amend, modify, nullify, ignore, add to, or subtract from the provisions of this Agreement. The arbitrator shall consider and decide only the question of fact as to whether there has been a violation, misinterpretation or misapplication of the specific provisions of this Agreement. The arbitrator shall be empowered to determine the issue raised by the grievance as submitted in writing at the First Step. The arbitrator shall have no authority to make a decision on any issue not so submitted or raised. The arbitrator shall be without power to make any decision or award which is contrary to or inconsistent with, in any way, applicable laws, or of rules and regulations of administrative bodies that have the force and effect of law. The arbitrator shall not in any way limit or interfere with the powers, duties and responsibilities of the Village under law and applicable court decisions. Any decision or award of the arbitrator rendered within the limitations of this Section 4 shall be final and binding upon the Village, the Chapter and the employees covered by this Agreement. Section 5: Time Limit for Filing No grievance shall be entertained or processed unless it is submitted at Step 1 within ten (10) calendar days after the first occurrence of the event giving rise to the grievance or within ten (10) calendar days after the sergeant, through the use of reasonable diligence, could have obtained knowledge of the first occurrence of the event giving rise to the grievance. If a grievance is not presented by the sergeant within the time limits set forth above, it shall be considered "waived" and may not be pursued further. If a grievance is not appealed to the next step within the specified time limit or any agreed extension thereof, it shall be considered settled on the basis of the Village's last answer. If the Village does not answer a grievance or an appeal thereof within the specified time limits, the aggrieved sergeant may elect to treat the grievance as denied at the next step and immediately appeal the grievance to the next step. The parties may by mutual agreement in writing extend any of the time limits set forth in this Article. Section 6: Miscellaneous No member of the bargaining unit who is serving in acting capacity shall have any authority to respond to a grievance procedure set forth in this Article. Moreover, no action, statement, agreement, settlement, or representation made by any member of the bargaining unit shall impose any obligation or duty or be considered to be authorized by or binding upon the Village unless and until the Village has agreed thereto in writing. Section 7: Grievance Processing Any grievance filed in accordance with this Article must contain a written statement 9 Page 80 of 198 which includes the following information, at a minimum: (a) Name(s) of the employee(s) involved; (b) Facts giving rise to the grievance; (c) Identity of the contractual provisions alleged to be violated; (d) The grievant's contentions with respect to the involved contractual provisions; (e) A statement of the relief requested; (f) The signature of the employee(s). Reasonable time will be permitted a Chapter representative for purposes of assisting a Chapter member in handling and processing a grievance filed in accordance with this Article. Section 8: Chapter Grievances The Chapter shall have the right to submit a grievance at Step 2 of the grievance procedure, but only if the grievance alleges a violation, misinterpretation or misapplication of any of the express provisions of this Agreement that relate directly to Chapter rights. Any such grievance shall be submitted within fifteen (15) calendar days of the first event giving rise to the grievance or within fifteen (15) calendar days of when the Chapter, through the use of reasonable diligence, should have obtained knowledge of the first event giving rise to the grievance. Section 9: Exclusivity of Grievance Procedure The grievance procedure set forth in this Article shall be the sole and exclusive means for discussing and processing any differences of opinion or disputes involving any alleged violation, misinterpretation, or misapplication of the terms of this Agreement. 10 Page 81 of 198  ARTICLE VII Dues Checkoff Section 1: Dues Checkoff During the term of this Agreement, the Employer will deduct from each employee's paycheck the monthly Union dues for each employee in the bargaining unit who has filed with the Employer a lawfully written authorization form. The Village shall remit such deductions monthly to the Metropolitan Alliance of Police at the address designated by the Chapter. The actual dues amount deducted, as determined by the Metropolitan Alliance of Police, shall be uniform for each employee in order to ease the Employer's burden in administering this provision. If any employee has no earnings or insufficient earnings to cover the amount of the dues deduction, the Chapter shall be responsible for collection of dues. The Chapter agrees to refund to any employee any amounts paid to the Chapter in error on account of this dues deduction provision. Section 2: Indemnification Metropolitan Alliance of Police shall indemnify and hold harmless the Employer, its elected representatives, sergeants, administrators, agents and employees from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, complaints, suits or other forms of liability (monetary or otherwise) that arise out of or by reason of any action taken or not taken by the Employer for the purpose of complying with the provisions of this Article, or in reliance of any written checkoff authorization furnished under any of such provisions. 11 Page 82 of 198  ARTICLE VIII Bill of Rights Section 1: Bill of Rights Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to preclude the applicability of the Peace Officer's Bill of Rights, as set forth in 50 ILCS 725/1 et, but observance of said Bill of Rights shall not be subject to the grievance and arbitration procedure set forth in this Agreement. Section 2: Disclosure No sergeant shall be required or requested to disclose any item of his property, income, assets, source of income, debts, or personal or domestic expenditures (including those of any member of his family or household) unless such information is necessary in investigating a possible conflict of interest with respect to the performance of his official duties, or unless such disclosure is required by law. Section 3: Disciplinary Procedure If the investigation or interrogation of a sergeant results in the recommendation of some action, such as suspension, dismissal, loss of pay, or similar action which would be considered a punitive measure, then before taking such action, the law enforcement agency shall follow the procedures set forth in 65 ILCS 5/10-2.1 et seq. The sergeant may be relieved of duty but shall receive all ordinary pay and benefits as he would have if he were not charged in all cases except where the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners has ordered a suspension without pay under 65 ILCS 5/10-2.1-17 and in such case, the disciplinary hearing shall be held within thirty (30) days unless continued by the Board at the request of either party or waived. No sergeant shall be denied wages as a result of any continuation granted at the request of the Village. This Section shall not apply to the demotion of a probationary sergeant. Section 4: Rights of Criminally Charged Employees If an employee covered by this Agreement is charged by indictment or complaint to have violated any provision of the Criminal Code of Illinois or any Statute of the United States, he shall be entitled to his wages and other economic benefits provided for in this Agreement until such time as formal charges are filed with the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners. Section 5: Written Reprimand In cases of future written reprimands, such reprimand shall become part of the employee's personnel file and a copy shall be given to the employee. 12 Page 83 of 198 Section 6: Personnel File Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to preclude the applicability of the "Access to Personnel Records Act", 820 ILCS 401.01 et seq. or as modified, but observance of said act shall not be subject to the grievance and arbitration procedures set forth in this Agreement. 13 Page 84 of 198  ARTICLE IX Chapter Bulletin Board Section 1: Location The Village agrees to provide an area in the Sergeants office for the Chapter to post one (1) bulletin board. Said bulletin board shall not exceed three (3) feet by four (4) feet in area. Section 2: Posting Contents The Chapter bulletin board shall be used for posting Chapter notices and shall be restricted to the following: a) Notice of Chapter recreational and social activities; b) Notice of Chapter elections and results of such elections; c) Notice of Chapter appointments; d) Notice of Chapter meetings and reports and minutes thereof; e) Communications between the Chapter, Chief of Police, or the Village; f) If the Chapter desires to post any other information or material, the Chapter shall first submit same to the Chief of Police; g) The Chapter may also pass out individual notices and/or materials in each officer's assigned box in the office used by Sergeants. However, before any such material shall be distributed, a copy of any and all material so distributed shall be given to the Chief of Police for his files and records. Any such material so distributed shall be removed from each police officer's individual mailing box within seventy-two (72) hours. The seventy-two (72) hour time frame may be extended by any leave time occurring from the time of placement of the material in the mailbox within the seventy-two (72) hour period. Section 3: Notice Prior to posting of any notice on the Chapter bulletin board or pass out of material to an individual sergeant's box, the Chapter shall file one (1) copy of said notice or material with the Chief of Police. Section 4: Cost All cost incident to preparing and posting of Chapter material will be borne by the Chapter. The Chapter sergeants are responsible for posting and removing material on its bulletin board and for maintaining same in an orderly, neat and professional fashion. 14 Page 85 of 198  ARTICLE X Residency Requirement All sergeants on the Hoffman Estates Police Department are required to live within a forty- five (45) mile radius of the corporate boundaries of the Village of Hoffman Estates, Illinois. 15 Page 86 of 198  ARTICLE XI Uniforms Section 1: Uniform Allowance Each sergeant covered by this Agreement shall receive, as and for his uniform allowance the sum of $800; with $400 payable on May 1 and $400 payable on November 1 of each year of this Agreement. No employee shall be eligible to receive more than a total uniform allowance of $800 during a year in which he or she is promoted, i.e., any uniform allowance received as a patrol officer shall offset the amount due under this Section. Notwithstanding the above, effective January 1, 2020 each newly promoted Sergeant will receive a one-time $300 uniform allowance. Section 2: Uniform Changes It is further agreed that no major change in departmental uniforms and/or equipment will be activated without submission of the proposed changes for review and information before implementation. If a uniform or equipment change is effected upon recommendations of the Chapter, cost shall be borne by the individuals affected. If a uniform or equipment change is effected upon recommendation of the Village, cost shall be borne by the Village. It is not the intent of this Article to prohibit a mutual agreement for major changes in uniforms or equipment. The cost of said change may be borne by the Village. Section 3: Body Armor Vest The Village and Chapter agree that the Village shall replace body armor vests every 5 years and that each sworn sergeant shall wear the body armor vest while on duty except as otherwise permitted by this Section or authorized by the Police Chief. 16 Page 87 of 198  ARTICLE XII Leave of Absence Section 1: Sick Leave Accumulation All employees, except those in intermittent, temporary, seasonal or part-time positions, and except those on leave of absence, shall accumulate sick leave at the rate of one (1) day for each month's service. All leave “days” and related benefits shall equate to 8 hours per day, and shall continue to accrue at that rate. Any alternative work schedule (i.e. a twelve hour schedule) shall not increase accrual of paid leave time, including sick, vacations, holidays and floating holidays. A sergeant using a full leave day while assigned to any alternative work schedule (i.e. a twelve hour schedule) shall have 12 hours deducted from his/her accrued leave. The only exception shall be for funeral leave, for which a day under Section 12.7 shall be considered the officer’s normal work day. Sick leave may be used for non-duty related illness and disability, pregnancy, off-duty injury of a sergeant, or quarantine of a sergeant. Sick leave for the serious illness or an accident involving a member of the immediate family may be used only for the time necessary to remain at home to resolve the problem and only when no one else is available. For purposes of this section, the definition of immediate family shall be the spouse or dependent minor child, parent/parent-in- law of the sergeant, and serious illness shall mean a medical necessity that requires the sergeant to stay at home. Except in the case of an emergency, the sergeant must directly notify the on duty supervisor prior to his absence from work. If a sergeant is unable to notify the on duty supervisor, he shall notify the radio desk personnel. All sergeants who are absent from work due to illness for three (3) consecutive shifts must submit a statement from their physician certifying that absence from work was required due to illness and their fitness to return to full duty. Section 2: Sick Leave Abuse Sick leave is not a right but a benefit provided by the Village in order to provide a sergeant protection against a loss of pay for a specific period of time due to illness. The misuse of sick leave is a serious matter, which cannot be accepted by the Village or the Chapter. The Village and the sergeants shall make every effort to correct the misuse or abuse of sick leave whenever it may be suspected of occurring. Abuse of the sick leave benefit shall be cause for disciplinary action up to and including discharge. Section 3: Leave of Absence A sergeant who suffers an off-the-job injury or illness and is unable to return to work following exhaustion of all of his accrued sick leave benefits, vacation days and holidays, that sergeant, upon request, may be granted a temporary leave of absence with the approval of the Village Manager. Such leave of absence shall begin following the use of all accrued benefits as described above. If the sergeant is permitted a temporary leave of absence, the Village Manager shall set the time period based on the circumstances in each specific case. No sick leave, vacation, 17 Page 88 of 198 holiday, or seniority benefits will accrue to the employee during the temporary leave of absence and any holidays which may occur during the leave shall be forfeited. If a sergeant is determined by appropriate professional(s) to be permanently disabled as the result of an off-the-job injury or illness, the sergeant's benefits shall be terminated effective on the date of such decision, but in no event prior to written notice being sent by the Village. Section 4: Medical Examinations If there is any question concerning a sergeant's fitness for duty or fitness to return to duty following a layoff, injury or illness, the Village may require, at its expense, that the sergeant be examined by a qualified physician and/or another appropriate medical professional selected by the Village. The foregoing requirement shall be in addition to any requirement that a sergeant provide at his own expense a statement from his own doctor upon returning from sick leave or disability leave. If the Village determines that a sergeant is not fit for duty after receiving the result of any of the above examinations/tests, the Village may direct appropriate remedial action and/or place the sergeant on sick leave (or unpaid leave if the sergeant does not have any unused sick leave days). Sergeants shall also participate in an annual pulmonary function test, at no cost to the employee. Section 5: Sick Leave Incentive A sick leave incentive program of the following terms and conditions shall be in effect in order to reduce the amount of sick time usage. Part One: In order to be eligible to receive this benefit, a sergeant must have at least twenty (20) years of continuous service with the Village and a minimum of 1,200 hours of unused accrued sick leave as of the date of resignation from the Village. Part Two: Upon separation from employment, the appropriate value of an eligible sergeant’s accrued sick leave for hours accrued pursuant to the Sick Leave Incentive Payout Schedule below will automatically be applied to the purchase of retiree health insurance or the reimbursement of out-of-pocket medical expenses, for such sergeants or his or her eligible dependents: Sick Leave Incentive Payout Schedule 1,000 - 1,200 hours 40% (480 hours) 1,201 – 1,800 hours 45% (270 hours) 1,801 – 2,400 hours 50% (300 hours) Maximum benefit: 1,050 hours 18 Page 89 of 198  There shall be no cash payout to the employee for any sick leave, and the application of the sick leave benefit described herein shall be pursuant to a plan established by the Village in compliance with Section 105 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the applicable regulations. The maximum benefit shall be 1,050 hours, valued at the employee’s existing rate of pay at time of separation from employment. Part Three: This sick incentive described herein shall be available for use following an eligible employee’s last day of employment with the Village, subject to the conditions specified in Parts One and Two of this Section. Part Four: For purposes of this Section, no sergeants shall substitute scheduled or unscheduled vacation or other paid leave for necessary sick time. Section 6: Continuation of Benefits The Village will provide health care coverage in accordance with the provisions of Article XXII, Section 1, of this Agreement for up to 12 months while an employee is on sick leave or injured on duty disability status. Sick leave and vacation leave will be accrued by a sergeant for up to twelve (12) months while on a duty-related disability leave. Section 7: Funeral Leave In the event of a death in a sergeant's immediate family, the sergeant shall be excused without loss of pay for a period of up to three (3) consecutive workdays for the purpose of arranging for and attending the funeral. The sergeant's immediate family shall be defined as spouse, child, step-child, mother, father, step-mother, step-father, legal guardian, mother-in-law, father-in-law, brother, step-brother, sister, step-sister, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, grandmother, grandfather, spouse's grandmother and spouse's grandfather, son-in-law, daughter-in-law and grandchildren. In the event of a death in an sergeant’s extended family, defined as aunt, uncle, niece and nephew, the sergeant shall be excused without loss of pay for a period of up to one (1) consecutive workday for the purpose of attending the funeral. Section 8: Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 The parties agree that the Employer may adopt policies to implement the Family and Medical Leave Act of 1993 ("FMLA") that are in accord with what is legally permissible under the FMLA. Section 9: Light Duty Light duty for bargaining unit employees will be subject to the Village Light Duty Policy, as set forth in Appendix C, which may be changed from time to time by the Village. An alleged 19 Page 90 of 198 violation of the policy in effect at the time of the alleged violation will be subject to the grievance procedure contained in this Agreement. 20 Page 91 of 198 Section 10: Jury Duty/Civic Obligation For personal civil court actions, sergeants may require time off from work when they are the plaintiff, defendant, or subpoenaed as a witness on a non-Village matter. Such time shall be chargeable against available personal leave accruals, or be unpaid by the Village. Sergeants, whose presence is required for a personal civil action, must provide written notice to the Police Chief as far in advance as practicable. A sergeant shall be excused from work on the day he is required to be in court for jury duty, with no loss in pay or reduction in benefit time, unless the sergeant is scheduled to work the midnight shift, in which case he will be excused from work the shift immediately preceding his court appearance for jury duty. The sergeant may retain any fee received from the court for jury service. The sergeant shall provide written notice of jury duty to the Police Chief as far in advance as practicable. 21 Page 92 of 198  ARTICLE XIII Smoking Sergeants hired after May 1, 1989 shall not, as a condition of employment, smoke, chew or use tobacco in any form, on the job. The Village retains the right to designate areas for smoking or other use of tobacco for employees hired prior to May 1, 1989. 22 Page 93 of 198  ARTICLE XIV Disability from Injuries in the Line of Duty Whenever any sergeant covered by this Agreement suffers an injury in the line of duty which causes him to be unable to perform duties, he shall continue to be paid by the Village on the same basis as he was paid before the injury, with no deduction from his sick leave credits, compensatory time for overtime accumulations or vacation, or service credits in a public employee pension fund during the time he is unable to perform duties due to the result of the injury but not for a longer period of time than twelve (12) calendar months in relation to the same injury. Sick leave and vacation leave will be accrued by a sergeant for up to twelve (12) months while on a duty-related disability leave. The Village retains the right to order at its expense physical or medical examinations of the injured sergeant to determine the degree of disability. Any salary compensation due the injured sergeant from any type of insurance which may be carried by the Village shall revert to the Village during the time for which continuing compensation is paid to him under the provisions of this Article. Any disabled sergeant receiving compensation under the provisions of this Article shall not be entitled to any benefits for which he would qualify because of his disability under the provisions of the Illinois Pension Code, approved March 18, 1963, as amended before or after the effective date of this Agreement. Any sergeant who is being paid for injured on duty may elect to not take vacation or holidays (that have already been designated by that sergeant to be scheduled during that injured on duty time); however, he must notify the Village of this election within ten (10) days prior to the holiday or vacation. However, if the injury occurs within the ten (10) day period, the sergeant shall notify the Village as soon as he is capable of doing so. Further, it is understood that holidays are not carried over beyond the year in which they are to be used. In regards to a sergeant being allowed outside employment during the period of time which a sergeant is injured on duty and receiving compensation from the Village, any such secondary employment shall be in accordance with the Police Department’s current Secondary Employment policy. It is understood that if the employee should recover compensation from a third party who caused the injury to the employee, the Village shall be reimbursed for the wages paid to the employee for the time that the employee was off work for this injury. If suit is filed, the sergeant shall notify the Village as soon as possible so that all insurance questions may be coordinated. 23 Page 94 of 198  ARTICLE XV Board of Fire and Police Commissioners The parties recognize that the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners has certain statutory authority over sergeants covered by this Agreement, including but not limited to, the right to make, alter, and enforce rules and regulations. Nothing in this Agreement is intended in any way to replace or diminish the authority of the Fire and Police Commission. Any matter within the jurisdiction of the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners shall not be subject to the grievance and arbitration procedure set forth in this Agreement. 24 Page 95 of 198  ARTICLE XVI Rules, Regulations, Orders The Chapter and its members agree that it shall encourage its members to comply, in full, with departmental rules, regulations, orders, and the Village's Personnel Policy Manual, as well as all Rules and Regulations of the Board of Fire and Police Commission of the Village, as the same may be changed from time to time by the Village. 25 Page 96 of 198  ARTICLE XVII Layoff, Recall Section 1: Definition of Seniority Seniority shall be based on the length of time from the last date of beginning continuous full-time employment as a sworn sergeant in the Police Department of the Village. Conflicts of seniority shall be determined on the basis of the order of the sergeants on the Fire and Police Commission promotional list, with the sergeant higher on the list being the more senior. Seniority shall not be earned during the period of any unpaid leave in excess of five (5) consecutive days and in such event the employee's seniority shall be adjusted accordingly. Section 2: Probationary Period All newly promoted sergeants shall be on probation for a period of one year, or such other period as may be established by the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners. A probationary sergeant may be demoted one rank without cause during their probationary period. No grievance shall be presented or entertained in connection with any demotion of a probationary sergeant. Section 3: Seniority List On or before May 1 and November 1 of each year, the Village will provide the Chapter with a seniority list setting forth each employee's seniority date. The Village shall not be responsible for any errors in the seniority list unless such errors are brought to the attention of the Chief in writing within ten (10) calendar days after the Chapter's receipt of the list. Any difference of opinion regarding this list may be handled via the normal grievance procedures except that it is not subject to arbitration. Section 4: Layoff The Village, in its discretion, shall determine whether layoffs are necessary. If it is determined that layoffs are necessary, employees covered by this Agreement will be laid off as provided in 65 ILCS 5/10-2.1-18. The Village, in the exercise of its right will not contract out for the performance of duties and tasks normally assigned to a police officer in lieu of recalling any police officer who has been laid off in accordance with the procedure specified herein. Section 5: Recall Employees who are laid off shall be placed on a recall list for a period of one (1) year. If there is a recall to the position vacated by the employee or employees, employees who are still on the recall list shall be recalled, in the inverse order of their layoff, provided they are fully qualified to perform the work to which they are recalled without further training, and subject to examination by physicians of both the Board of Fire and Police Commissioners and the Pension Board to determine physical fitness. 26 Page 97 of 198  Employees who are eligible for recall shall be given five (5) calendar days' notice of recall and notice of recall shall be sent to the employee by certified or registered mail with a copy to the Chapter. The Village shall be deemed to have fulfilled its obligations by mailing the recall notice by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the mailing address last provided by the employee, it being the obligation and responsibility of the employee to provide the Police Chief or his designee with his latest mailing address. If an employee fails to timely respond to a recall notice, his name shall be removed from the recall list. Section 6: Termination of Seniority Seniority and the employment relationship shall be terminated for all purposes if the employee: (a) quits; (b) is discharged; (c) retires (or is retired pursuant to a legal mandatory retirement age adopted and implemented by the Village); (d) falsifies the reason for a leave of absence or disability leave or is found to be working during a leave of absence or a disability leave without prior written approval of the Village; (e) does not present proof of necessity for a leave of absence within a reasonable time; (f) fails to report to work at the conclusion of an authorized leave of absence or vacation when being capable to do so; (g) is laid off and fails to report for work within five (5) calendar days after having been recalled; (h) is laid off for a period in excess of one (1) year; (i) does not perform work for the Village for a period in excess of twelve (12) months or the length of his seniority; whichever occurs first; (j) misrepresents or omits facts on his employment application and such misrepresentation/omission is material to his employment; or (k) is absent for two (2) consecutive working days without notifying the Village when being capable to do so. 27 Page 98 of 198 Section 7: Reinstatement of Seniority Full seniority rights shall be reinstated to any sergeant covered by this Agreement, provided that the sergeant must complete a program directed by the Chief of Police, and at the Village's expense under the following conditions: (a) A sergeant retires due to disability and is later certified by the Police Pension Board to be capable of resuming his duties and is returned to work by the Village; (b) A sergeant is separated due to a layoff or reduction of forces and is later reinstated. The Village and the Chapter agree that no seniority or benefits shall accrue during any period of disability, dismissal or lay-off. 28 Page 99 of 198  ARTICLE XVIII Overtime, Court Time, Compensatory Time, and Hireback Section 1: Tour of Duty In accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act, the tour of duty for sergeants covered by this Agreement shall be one hundred seventy-one (171) hours in a 28-day cycle established by the Department. However, the Village agrees to pay sergeants at the rate of time and one-half for all hours worked in excess of their normally scheduled duty day. Section 2: Compensation Compensation of the sergeants of the Village of Hoffman Estates for each year of this agreement shall be paid according to Appendix A attached and by reference incorporated herein. Section 3: Overtime and Compensation Time Sergeants may have the option of taking all overtime as compensatory time due per 28-day duty schedule. It will be the responsibility of the sergeant to notify the Chief of Police if he wishes to exercise said option on or before the conclusion of the 28-day cycle for each month. If the sergeant fails to notify the Police Chief that he wishes to exercise his option of compensatory time, he shall then be paid for his overtime accumulated during each respective 28-day duty cycle. This paragraph shall not cover official hire back positions authorized by the Village. A sergeant on leave, sick or disabled shall not be allowed to participate in the hireback schedule. Compensatory time shall be allowed to accumulate and shall be rescheduled by the sergeant with the approval of the Chief of Police and in accordance with the needs of the Department. An employee's request to use accrued compensatory time will not be arbitrarily denied, unless approval would result in overtime liability to the Village. Once an employee has received approval to use compensatory time off at a particular time, such time off will not be arbitrarily canceled by the Village, unless cancellation is necessary to avoid overtime liability to the Village. Upon termination of employment with the Village, all accrued compensatory time shall be paid to the employee at their final rate of pay. No sergeant will accrue more than one hundred sixty (160) hours of compensatory time. Should there be a final determination of the federal courts that indicates that the Fair Labor Standards Act does not cover local sergeants; this section may be reopened for discussion. An employee hired after January 1, 2014 and promoted to Sergeant will follow the Compensation Time Language provided below: Sergeants may have the option of taking all overtime as compensatory time due per 28-day duty schedule. It will be the responsibility of the sergeant to notify the Chief of Police if he wishes to exercise said option on or before the conclusion of the 28-day cycle for each month. If the sergeant fails to notify the Police Chief that he wishes to exercise his option of compensatory time, he shall then be paid for his overtime accumulated during each respective 28-day duty cycle. This paragraph shall not cover official hire back positions authorized by the Village. A sergeant on 29 Page 100 of 198 leave, sick or disabled shall not be allowed to participate in the hireback schedule. Compensatory time shall be allowed to accumulate and shall be rescheduled by the sergeant with the approval of the Chief of Police and in accordance with the needs of the Department. An employee's request to use accrued compensatory time will not be arbitrarily denied, unless approval would result in overtime liability to the Village. Once an employee has received approval to use compensatory time off at a particular time, such time off will not be arbitrarily canceled by the Village, unless cancellation is necessary to avoid overtime liability to the Village. Upon termination of employment with the Village, all accrued compensatory time shall be paid to the employee at their final rate of pay. No sergeant will accrue more than eighty four (84) hours of compensatory time. Should there be a final determination of the federal courts that indicates that the Fair Labor Standards Act does not cover sergeants; this section may be reopened for negotiation, upon timely demand by either party. Any dispute arising in connection with such reopener negotiations may be submitted to interest arbitration under the IPLRA, as amended. Section 4: Shift Hireback Except as otherwise provided herein, this Section only applies to sergeants assigned to the Patrol Division. The calling back of such sergeants for patrol shift duties, hereinafter referred to as a shift callback or hireback. Whenever practical, the assignment will be split between sergeants from different shifts and shall be accomplished by the following procedure: A. Next Shift Vacancy The calling back of supervisors for a next shift vacancy shall be determined by seniority of the supervisors who are working at the time the need arises. Whenever practical, the assignment will be split between sergeants from different shifts, the same seniority process shall govern both selections. If the vacancy is not filled by this process, then an inverse seniority order will be used, whenever practical, to determine the supervisor who must fill the vacancy. B. Advance Vacancy Every effort should be made to fill an advanced vacancy with supervisors from the watch that the vacancy exists. In the event that this cannot be worked out, patrol supervisors from other shifts should be allowed to fill the vacancy by seniority, and then by supervisors from other divisions. In the event that a supervisor has to be ordered back and the advance vacancy is not filled voluntarily, the vacancy shall be filled at the discretion of the bureau commander. C. Scheduled Overtime Overtime assignments, unless otherwise specified in the contract, shall be generally determined based on a separate Supervisory Hireback List. The payment for such 30 Page 101 of 198  assignments shall be at one and one half (1½) times the sergeant's regular rate of pay. The Village reserves the right to determine which Seniority List shall be used based on any special requirements for the overtime. The Village shall not be required to include a Patrol division sergeant who is off duty but in court or working a hireback pursuant to Appendix B, on a hireback list under this Section. D. Maximum Hours Worked Excluding emergency situations, as determined by the Chief of Police, or his designee, and hirebacks, a sergeant generally will not be required to work more than twelve (12) consecutive hours performing patrol duties on a shift. E. Remedy If a sergeant demonstrates that he did not receive an overtime offer as provided by this section, the sergeant shall schedule with his or her supervisor a mutually agreed upon overtime assignment at least equal in hours to the inadvertently missed offer. Section 5: Court Time and Other Hearings Any sergeants because of performing his duty for the Village, who is required to appear at any official hearing or court while not on his regular schedule tour of duty, shall be compensated as follows: (1) Two (2) hours pay at twice the sergeant's regular hourly rate of pay for each session attended. Any hours in excess of two shall be compensated at one and one half (1 1/2) times the hourly rate of pay. If a sergeant's court call is continued by the court from one session to another session within the same calendar day, the sergeant shall be considered on overtime until the conclusion of his scheduled court call that day. For court dates on a sergeant’s regular day off (RDO), the sergeant shall have the option of five (5) paid hours at the sergeant’s regular hourly rate of pay or four (4) hours as time due. Separate records shall be kept for actual time in court and only actual time in court shall be applied for FLSA hours and the above provisions shall have no affect on FLSA calculations of time. For the purposes of this subsection, all morning court calls held at the same location shall be considered one (1) session and all afternoon court calls held at the same location shall be considered one (1) session (e.g. if a sergeant attends both the 9:00 a.m. and 10:30 a.m. court calls, it shall be considered as only one (1) session 31 Page 102 of 198  for pay purposes). If a sergeant is scheduled for a morning court call and it is continued or put over to an afternoon court call, it shall nevertheless be considered as only one (1) session for pay purposes. Should the sergeant be required to appear at a court call, not his regularly assigned court call, on the same day as his regularly assigned court day, said required additional appearance shall be considered a separate session and the sergeant shall be compensated as such (e.g. if a sergeant is assigned the 9:00 a.m. or 10:30 a.m. call and he is advised that a case has been assigned to the 1:30 p.m. call, his appearance at both calls shall be considered separate sessions and not applicable to the conditions as set forth for continued court calls). (2) Any sergeant who is ordered to report in person to the station while off-duty for any reason other than an official hearing before the Chief of Police, for disciplinary action or for failure to correctly complete and turn in his on-duty assignments prior to going off duty, shall be considered on overtime from the time the sergeant reports for work and to such time as he is no longer needed with a minimum of two (2) hours overtime pay guaranteed for call back. Separate records shall be kept for actual time and only actual time shall be applied for FLSA hours and the above provisions shall have no affect on FLSA calculations of time. (3) Sergeants who are ordered to attend Fire and Police Commission hearings shall be compensated as under (1) above. Sergeants who are subpoenaed by the complainant to attend Fire and Police Commission hearings shall be compensated as under (1) above. Sergeants who are subpoenaed by the Respondent to attend Fire and Police Commission hearings and were directly involved in the particular incident shall be compensated as under (1) above. Sergeants who are called or subpoenaed by the Respondent to attend Fire and Police Commission hearings as character witnesses or who were not directly involved in the particular incident shall not be compensated. Section 6: Hireback Sergeants who are not on regularly scheduled duty may be hired back to work as a sergeant by organizations, or agencies through the Village, pursuant to the Department's policy and procedure so established. Compensation for such hireback shall be paid at the rate of one and one-half (1½) times the hourly rate of pay for the top sergeant's base pay rate. Any sergeants working on hireback shall be guaranteed a minimum pay of two (2) hours. Sergeants working such hireback assignments shall be considered on official duty for the Village and shall be covered by full benefits of the Village. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if a sergeant is hired back as a patrol officer, or for patrol officer duties, then he or she shall be paid at the top base police officer hourly rate for such work. Section 7: No Pyramiding Compensation shall not be paid or compensatory time taken more than once for the same 32 Page 103 of 198 hours under any provision of this Article or Agreement. There shall be no pyramiding of overtime or premium compensation rates. The intent of this section is not to prevent an officer from working overtime while on a scheduled vacation or other approved benefit time off. (i.e. called in to work a hireback, a case investigation, or respond to an MCAT or NIPAS assignment). This section pertains to eliminating the option to take benefit time in order to attend court (i.e. a day-shift officer requesting to take 2 hours of time due in order to qualify as off-duty for the purposes of attending court). 33 Page 104 of 198  ARTICLE XIX Shift Exchange, Holidays and Floating Holidays Section 1: Shift Exchange The Police Chief or the non-bargaining unit supervisor in charge may, at their sole discretion, grant the request of any two (2) members of the Police Department to exchange day or days off, without any change in pay, provided that, in the opinion of the Police Chief or the non- bargaining unit supervisor in charge, they are equally capable to perform each other's respective jobs, and able and willing to make the exchange. Such exchanges shall exclude authorized overtime work. All requests should be made in writing at least ten (10) days in advance of the request, when practical. Such requests shall be granted upon the recommendation of the Shift Commander with the approval of the Police Chief or the non-bargaining unit supervisor in charge, and shall not be arbitrarily denied. The Village reserves the right to make reasonable rules limiting the number of shift exchanges that any two employees may arrange. Section 2: Holidays Each sergeant shall be granted eight (8) designated holidays each calendar year. The designated holidays and the dates they are observed are: New Year's Day January 1 Easter Sunday Memorial Day 4th Monday of May Independence Day July 4 Labor Day 1st Monday of September Veterans Day November 11 Thanksgiving Day 4th Thursday of November Christmas Day December 25 Each sergeant may pick one designated holiday to be taken as time off on the day the holiday is observed. Selection of the designated holiday shall be based on seniority, and minimum- staffing levels, as determined by the Department, shall be met. It is understood that due to minimum staffing levels, it may not be possible for all sergeants to select a holiday under this provision. If a sergeant is unable to select a designated holiday, the sergeant, in order of seniority, may select any other day as a designated holiday, as long as minimum staffing levels are met. The sergeant’s immediate supervisor will assign the remaining designated holidays. A sergeant shall have the right to request a change of a designated holiday to become a floating holiday. The Chief of Police, or his designee, shall consider such requests and grant same provided that the operational requirements of the department are not adversely affected. 34 Page 105 of 198  Any sergeant who works a regular shift on a designated holiday shall receive, in addition to the regular rate of pay, four (4) hours of time due or six (6) hours of time due (four hours for eight hour shift and six hours for twelve hour shift) to be taken within a reasonable time frame and with the approval of the Department or four (4) hours or six (6) hours of pay at the straight time rate. Any sergeant that is called into work on a designated holiday shall be compensated at their regular overtime rate and shall receive the straight time holiday compensation on a pro-rata basis for the time actually worked. Section 3: Floating Holidays Sergeants earn floating holidays on a pro rata basis, in the amount of 4.1538 hours per pay period. If the Village permits an employee to use a floating holiday(s) before it is actually earned and such employee then separates from Village employment (for any reason), the dollar value of such unearned time shall be deducted from the employee’s final pay. Each Sergeant shall be granted 108 hours of floating holiday time. Floating holidays selected on a first come, first priority basis, pursuant to a process determined by the Chief of Police. Notwithstanding the foregoing, an employee may, at or before the start of his regularly scheduled shift, request permission to utilize a floating holiday under this section, and such request shall not be arbitrarily denied, unless approval would result in overtime liability to the Village. The Village reserves the right to limit approval of floating holiday requests to one (1) employee per shift Floating holidays may not be carried over from one year to the next unless prior approval is obtained by the effected sergeant from the Chief of Police or his designee upon good cause shown. Floating holidays approved for carryover must be used within six (6) months. 35 Page 106 of 198  ARTICLE XX Drug and Alcohol Testing The Village may require an employee to submit to a urine and/or blood test where there is reasonable suspicion of improper drug or alcohol use by said employee. The Village shall provide an employee who is ordered to submit to any such test with a written statement of the basis for the Village's reasonable suspicion within forty-eight (48) hours of the request. The Village shall use only laboratories which are certified by the State of Illinois to perform drug and/or alcohol testing for such testing and shall be responsible for maintaining the identity and integrity of the sample. The passing of urine will not be directly witnessed unless there is reasonable suspicion to believe that the employee may tamper with the testing procedure. If the first test results in a positive finding by a state certified laboratory, a GC/MS confirmatory test shall be conducted as to the same sample. An initial positive screening test shall not be submitted to the Village; only GC/MS confirmatory test results will be reported only to the Police Chief of the Village. The Village shall provide an employee with a copy of any test results which the Village receives with respect to such employee. A portion of the test sample, if positive, shall be retained by the laboratory for six months so that the employee may arrange for another confirmatory test (GC/MS) to be conducted by a laboratory certified by the State of Illinois to perform drug and/or alcohol testing of the employee's choosing and at the employee's expense. Use of proscribed drugs at any time while employed by the Village, abuse of prescribed drugs, as well as having alcohol or proscribed drugs in the blood while on duty shall be cause for discipline, including termination, subject to confirmation by the Village Board of Fire and Police Commissioners. All issues relating to the drug and alcohol testing process (e.g., whether there is reasonable suspicion for ordering an employee to undertake a test, whether a proper chain of custody has been maintained, etc.) shall be raised with the Village Board of Fire and Police Commissioners. The Village shall continue to provide an employee wellness program to employees covered by this Agreement. An employee's participation in the employee wellness program shall be voluntary. An employee's voluntary request for assistance with drug and/or alcohol problems shall be held strictly confidential by the employee wellness program director. Documents evidencing an employee's voluntary request for assistance with drug or alcohol problems shall not be inserted into an employee's official personnel file without the employee's consent. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to prevent an employee from asserting that there should be treatment in lieu of discipline in any proceeding before the Village Board of Fire and Police Commissioners. 36 Page 107 of 198  ARTICLE XXI Personnel Information Release to the News Media Sergeants covered by this Agreement shall not be subject to having their personnel information released to the media, including: Sergeant photographs, address of residence, telephone number, other personal information, and current duty assignment, except for one (1) of the following reasons: written permission by the sergeant, by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, or in the event an sergeant is charged with a criminal act. 37 Page 108 of 198  ARTICLE XXII Health Insurance Section 1: Hospital and Major Medical Insurance The Village and employees covered under this contract shall pay the monthly premium cost for hospitalization and major medical insurance plan or the HMO option as follows: Effective January 1, 2026 the employee shall pay 16% of the premium for the type of coverage elected (single or family), and the Village shall pay the remainder of the premium.

Section 2: Village's Obligation It is agreed that the extent Village of Hoffman Estates' obligation under this section is limited solely to the payment of the cost of the insurance premium program provided thereunder, and employees and their dependents and beneficiaries shall be entitled to benefits, if any, only in accordance with and governed by the terms and conditions of the insurance policy, or policies, issued to provide such benefits. The Village of Hoffman Estates shall not itself be obligated to pay any insurance benefits provided of in said Section directly to employees or their dependents or beneficiaries. The failure of any insurance carrier, or carriers, to provide any benefit for which it has contracted shall result in no liability to the Village of Hoffman Estates nor such failure be considered a breach by the Village of Hoffman Estates of any obligation undertaken under this or any other agreement. However, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to relieve any insurance carrier from any liability it may have to the Village of Hoffman Estates, employee, or beneficiary, or dependent of any employee. The terms of any contract or policy issued by an insurance carrier shall be controlling in all matters pertaining to benefits thereunder. 38 Page 109 of 198  The Village will not be responsible for changes unilaterally imposed by an insurance provider in benefits, co-payment provisions or deductibles. Should there be a dispute between an employee (or his beneficiary or dependent) and the insurance carrier, or carriers, or the processor of claims, this dispute shall not be subject to the grievance procedure provided for in this Collective Bargaining Agreement between the Village of Hoffman Estates and Metropolitan Alliance of Police Chapter 97.

From the completion of one (1) year of continuous service until the date of five (5) years of continuous service, an employee is entitled to two (2) times the hours worked in a normal workweek, per year. 2. From the completion of five (5) years of continuous service until the date of eleven (11) years of continuous service, an employee is entitled to three (3) times the hours worked in a normal workweek, per year. 3. From the completion of eleven (11) years of seventeen (17) years of continuous service, an employee is entitled to four (4) times the hours worked in a normal workweek, per year. 4. From the completion of seventeen (17) years and over of continuous service, an employee is entitled to five (5) times the hours worked in a normal workweek, per year. 5. In addition, effective January 1, 2020 an employee with an above standard performance evaluation shall receive two (2) additional vacation days regardless of years of service which must be used within a twelve (12) month period after earning. 6. The maximum number of hours employees can accrue vacation leave equals one- and-one-half (1 1/2) times the employee’s annual accrual (e.g., three (3) weeks for two (2) weeks annual accrual, four-and-one-half (4 ½) weeks for three (3) weeks annual earnings. etc.). All employees reaching the maximum vacation accrual will cease to earn additional vacation hours until the vacation balance falls below the maximum accrual limit. Employees are informed on each bi-weekly payroll check stub of current vacation balances. It is the responsibility of employees to monitor individual vacation balances and know how close they are to the maximum accrual limit. Section 2: Scheduling Vacation picks for the length of this contract shall be chosen as follows: Sergeants shall pick their vacation periods in order of overall seniority by shift. A sergeant shall be permitted to split the number of vacation days he is eligible to receive as many times as desired provided that each two (2) times a vacation period is selected, he shall lose his pick until the rest of the sergeants on his shift or unit of assignment have picked by seniority. 41 Page 112 of 198  If a transfer from one shift or unit of assignment to another occurs, the sergeant's vacation pick stands unless mutually agreed upon with management approval. When a sergeant changes shifts after vacation selection has been made, the department shall reasonably attempt to accommodate the vacation schedule of the sergeant changing shifts by first attempting to select sergeants without conflicting vacations. The Village agrees that vacation picks selected at the beginning of the selection cycle shall supersede the assignment of floating holidays or an assigned legal holiday. 42 Page 113 of 198  ARTICLE XXIV Workers Compensation Pay In the event of an employee on duty injury resulting in payment under Article XIV of this Agreement, the injured employee shall remit to the Village any payment received from the workers compensation carrier for wages. The Village will not be obligated to compensate an injured employee prior to receipt of said remittance from the employee. 43 Page 114 of 198  Article XXV No Solicitation While the Village acknowledges that bargaining unit employees may conduct solicitation of Hoffman Estates merchants, residents or citizens, the Chapter agrees that no bargaining unit employee will solicit any person or entity for contributions on behalf of the Hoffman Estates Police Department or the Village of Hoffman Estates. Bargaining unit members agree that the Village name, shield or insignia, communication systems, supplies and materials will not be used for solicitation purposes. Solicitation for the benefit of the collective bargaining representative by bargaining unit employees may not be done on work time or in a work uniform. The bargaining unit members agree that they will not use the words "Hoffman Estates Police Department" in their name or describe themselves as the “Village of Hoffman Estates.” Bargaining unit members shall have the right to explain to the public, if necessary, that they are members of an organization providing collective bargaining, legal defense and other benefits to sergeants employed by the Village. The foregoing shall not be construed as prohibition of lawful solicitation efforts by bargaining unit members directed to the general public. Each party hereto agrees that they will comply with all applicable laws regarding solicitation. This provision of Article XXV does not apply to the solicitation efforts of the Metropolitan Alliance of Police or any of its agents who are not bargaining unit employees. 44 Page 115 of 198  ARTICLE XXVI Secondary Employment Outside or secondary employment shall be governed by the current Hoffman Estates Police Department General Order No. 26. 45 Page 116 of 198  ARTICLE XXVII Termination and Legality Clauses Section 1: Savings Clause If any provision of this Agreement is subsequently declared by legislative or judicial authority to be unlawful, unenforceable, or not in accordance with applicable statutes, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for the duration of this Agreement and the parties shall meet as soon as possible to agree on a substitute provision. However, if parties are unable to agree within thirty (30) calendar days following commencement of the initial meeting then the matter shall be postponed until contract negotiations are reopened. Section 2: Board of Police and Fire Commissioners The authority and powers of the Board of Fire and Police Commission as established in accordance with the Illinois Constitution, Illinois Revised Statutes, and the Rules and Regulations of the Board of Fire and Police Commission shall supersede and take precedence over any provisions of this Agreement, where applicable. In addition, if any provisions of this Agreement are found to be in conflict with the Village Personnel Policy Manual or any Departmental Rules and Regulations or General Orders, said provisions of this Agreement shall take precedence. Section 3: Entire Agreement This Agreement, upon ratification, constitutes the complete and entire agreement between the parties, and concludes collective bargaining for its term. The parties acknowledge that, during the negotiations which resulted in this Agreement, each had the unlimited right and opportunity to make demands and proposals with respect to any subject or matter not removed by law from the area of collective bargaining, and that the understandings and agreements arrived at by the parties after the exercise of that right and opportunity are set forth in this Agreement. Therefore, the Village and the Union, for the duration of this Agreement, each voluntarily and unqualifiedly waives the right, and each agrees that the other shall not be obligated, to bargain collectively with respect to any subject or matter referred to, or covered in this Agreement, including the impact of the Village's exercise of its rights as set forth herein on wages, hours or terms and conditions of employment, even though such subjects or matters may not have been within the knowledge or contemplation of either or both of the parties at the time they negotiated or signed this Agreement. 46 Page 117 of 198 Section 4: Effective Dates of Agreement This Agreement shall become effective as of January 1, 2026 and terminate on December 31, 2028.

In the event a hireback detail requires a supervisor there will be a separate list as stated above that will exclude supervisory personnel, and a second list of supervisory personnel will be posted for such details. 3. Sergeants not desiring to work hireback for any period(s) of time shall advise the Hireback Coordinator, in writing, of the period(s) for which such sergeant wishes to have his/her name stricken from the hireback list. 4. If an sergeant who has signed for a specific hireback detail fails to report for such detail, other than for an excused absence subject to the final approval of the Hireback Coordinator, such sergeant shall forfeit his next two (2) 72 hour picks in rotation on the hireback list and may be subject to disciplinary action under the rules, regulations, policies or orders of this department. 5. Nothing in the above section shall be interpreted to diminish the duties of the detail supervisor, specified herein. 6. If an employee demonstrates that he did not receive a hireback for which he was entitled under this Agreement, the exclusive remedy shall be to give that employee preference for the next available hireback of equal hours. 52 Page 123 of 198 Section 12: Posting of Hireback Details 1. All hireback details (except in the event of an immediate hireback - less than 72 hours) shall be posted prior to 1200 hours on the date indicated as being posted and any time limits established for signing for any hireback detail shall commence and end at 1200 hours. 2. Hireback details shall be posted in a timely manner but in no event more than thirty (30) days in advance. Section 13: Signing for a Hireback Detail 1. For each hireback detail, the Hireback Coordinator shall indicate upon the sign-up list the number of sergeants requested for such detail. He shall also indicate upon the hireback list as previously explained the sergeants that fall within a 72-hour initial priority pick period. The next detail will begin with the name following the last sergeant eligible on the previous priority pick period. 2. No sergeant shall sign or trade for any other sworn officer position unless said position became an open pick. Violation of this or any alteration of the sign-up list (except by the Hireback Coordinator) will result in disciplinary action, and removal of the sergeant's name from all hireback eligibility lists for a period of thirty (30) days. 3. Sergeants shall sign upon the next available line on the sign-up list to the maximum number of sergeants required. 4. If after the initial 72-hour priority pick period there remains the need for more sergeants to sign for a given detail, the number of spaces available may be signed by an equal number of sergeants that would immediately follow those on the 72-hour priority period. Such second pick period will last forty-eight (48) hours. 5. If after the 48-hour pick period there still remains openings for a specific detail, any sergeant regardless of his position on the hireback list and regardless of rank may sign for such detail. Such open pick period shall remain open for a maximum of ten (10) days or until seven (7) days prior to a specific detail. 6. If openings for a specific detail still remain after the policy stated in No. 5 above, this department may hireback from outside agencies. In no event shall a sergeant of this department be able to "bump" from a specific detail any sergeant hired back from an outside agency. 7. If a detail request comes in seventy-two (72) hours or less prior to such detail date, it shall be regarded as an instance hireback and any sergeant, regardless of rank, may sign for same. 53 Page 124 of 198 8. If a hireback request comes in less than eight (8) days prior to the detail date and is not filled as stated in this policy as it regards priority pick periods at seventy-two (72) hours prior to the detail date, any sergeant, regardless of rank, may sign for such detail. 9. Priority 72-hour pick periods for consecutive details shall follow one another and not be affected by any subsequent 48-hour pick period for the previous detail. 54 Page 125 of 198  APPENDIX C VILLAGE OF HOFFMAN ESTATES LIGHT DUTY POLICY The purpose of this policy is to clarify the conditions under which the Village will place an employee on light duty, and to provide guidance to the departments for administering the policy consistently. The employee is responsible for informing all health care providers of the Village's light duty policy. SCOPE OF THE POLICY This policy will apply to all full-time and part-time employees who have a temporary disability, which prohibits them from performing full job duties, or meeting the essential job functions of the position. Collective bargaining agreements will supersede this policy in those instances where there is a conflict between them. The policy applies to both on-the-job and non-work related injuries and illnesses. However, in assigning light duty work, those employees who have suffered a work related injury would receive first consideration for any light duty work assignments. RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE POLICY The Risk Manager and Department/Division Directors are responsible for monitoring the administration of the policy. All requests for light duty assignments must include the physical or medical restrictions, which will be reviewed by the Risk Manager who will in turn consult with the applicable Director as to the availability of light duty work. The Director, or designee, will work with the Risk Manager to determine the availability of assignments and monitor the employee's progress in returning to full duty status. DEFINITION OF LIGHT DUTY Light duty is defined as temporary work, which can be accomplished by an injured or ill employee within the stipulated medical or physical limitations, and without exposing others to the risk of being harmed. Light duty is further defined as temporary work, which when accomplished will contribute to the fulfillment of the mission of the department as distinguished from "make work" assignments created solely to accommodate ill or injured employees. 55 Page 126 of 198 CONSIDERATION FOR LIGHT DUTY Purpose for Light Duty: It is the policy of the Village to provide light duty work for reasons including but not limited to the following: • To assist employees in recuperating from a temporary illness or injury by reintroducing them gradually to the demands of full duty work. • To avoid placing temporarily disabled employees in positions that may aggravate the existing injury or illness or risk harm to themselves, co-workers or to other persons or property, by assigning them work they can perform within the restrictions of the treating health care provider. • To conserve resources by having recuperating employees accomplish meaningful work that is otherwise performed by the regular work force. • To assist in determining an employee's fitness for duty. The Village Creates No "Make Work" Assignments: Based on the aforementioned objectives, there is no intention of creating "make work" assignments for any employee, regardless of the employee's physical condition, disability or illness. Employees assigned to light duty are placed in full pay status and expected to perform a fair day's work in a function that substantially contributes to the mission of the department and the Village. Availability of Light Duty Work: There is no right to light duty work and no employee will be removed from a Village job to make light duty work available for a recuperating employee. The employee will not receive out-of-classification pay while performing light duty work. Moreover, some employees may be unable to perform certain light duty jobs because of lack of skills, training or similar reasons. The availability of light duty assignments may limit the number of individuals who can perform such work at any given time. In no instance will an injured employee with a light duty assignment be displaced in order to place another injured employee on light duty even if the injury is work related. Finally, there may be instances where light duty is not available. Duration: Light duty work is temporary in nature and will not be made permanent. Light duty may be denied if injured employees do not have a reasonable expectation of returning to full regular duties within ninety (90) days from the first date eligible for a light duty assignment. Case-by-Case Consideration of Assignments: Each case of eligibility for a light duty assignment is considered independently of any other past or present assignments. Thus, the circumstances of 56 Page 127 of 198 each case, the needs of the Village, the availability of assignments in a department, and the nature of the work shall determine an assignment being made. PROCEDURE Duty Status Report: Employees recuperating from an injury or illness, and unable to perform essential job functions, shall have the treating health care provider complete a Duty Status Report. (See Attachment ‘A’). The Duty Status Report is available from the Risk Manager and in the injured employee's department. The employee's treating health care provider may substitute another report form if it contains the same information as requested in the Village's Duty Status Report. The report must identify the employee's limitation(s) and the date on which the employee will next be examined or released for full duty. It is the responsibility of the employee to inform all health care providers of the Village's light duty policy. Identification of Light Duty Work: The employee shall submit the Duty Status Report to the immediate supervisor who will forward the report to the Risk Manager. The Risk Manager will work with the Department Director in identifying light duty work that is compatible with the employee's restriction(s), and the duration of the light duty assignment, as determined by the health care provider. Expiration of Assignment: When the light duty assignment expires as stated on the Duty Status Report, the employee cannot continue to work without furnishing the Risk Manager with a new Duty Status Report that will either: • Recommend the continuation of light duty for a specified period of time and state the date on which the employee will next be examined, or • Restrict the employee from performing any work for a specified period and state the date on which the employee will next be examined, or • Release the employee for full duty on a specified date, or • Any continuation of a light duty assignment will be reviewed and processed like the original assignment. Forfeiture of Workers' Compensation Benefits: An employee who is released for light duty but fails to notify the Department Director or the Risk Manager, may forfeit workers' compensation pay. 57 Page 128 of 198  APPENDIX D Medical Insurance Benefit Summary 2026 PPO 1 Plan Deductible $550 individual / 3 X family Rx Drug Card Copay $5 for Generic $50 for Preferred/Formulary $115 for non- Preferred/non- Formulary Mail order (90 day supply) twice the cost above Out of Pocket Max $1,500/3x family Co- Insurance Network 90% Non- Network 70% Office Visit Copay $20 HMO Plan Rx Drug Card Copay $5 for Generic $50 for Preferred/Formulary $115 for non- Preferred/non- Formulary Mail order (90 day 58 Page 129 of 198  supply) twice the cost above Office Visit Copay $20 Effective January 1, 2027: Blue Advantage Blue Choice Options PPO Plan HMO Blue Choice Options BCBS PPO Out-of- Network Name Network Network Network Deductible $500 $625 $3,000 Out-of-pocket Maximum $1,500 $2,125 $9,000 $1,500 Coinsurance 90% 70% 50% Office visit/PCP $20 copayment $20 $25 50% Specialist copayment $40 $50 50% ER Copayment $250 $250 $250 $50 ER Coinsurance 90% 90% 90% Family deductible and out of pocket maximum are 3 times the amounts above.

Section 8: Duty of Fair Representation The Union agrees to fulfill its duty to fairly represent all members covered by this agreement. The Union further agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Village from any and 5 Page 141 of 198 all liability, including monetary damages, which result from any failure on the part of the Union to fulfill its duty of fair representation. Section 9: Personnel File The Village agrees to abide by the requirements of the “Access to Personnel Records Act”, 820 ILCS 40/1 et.seq. 6 Page 142 of 198  ARTICLE V Labor Management Meetings Labor Management meetings between the Union representatives and management shall be arranged by the Village Manager or his designated representative upon request of either party only after the chain of command in the Public Works Department has been exhausted. Labor Management meetings shall be called by the Village consistent with confidentiality, or other legal restrictions to advise the Union of any anticipated major changes affecting the working conditions of the bargaining unit employees. Arrangements for any consultation meetings shall be made five (5) working days in advance whenever possible and an agenda of matters to be taken up at the meeting shall be presented in writing at the time consultation meeting is requested. Meetings may address both items on an established agenda as well as additional matters of mutual interest. Union representatives shall be limited to no more than four (4) individuals at any one meeting. Minutes of Labor Management meetings shall reflect verbal and written statements, questions and suggestions made during meetings, as recorded by a Union representative and approved by both parties. Once approved, minutes shall be archived by the Village. When contact is required by the Union Representative on matters within the scope of this Article, the point of contact is the Village Manager. Where contact is required by management with the Union, the point of contact is the Chief Union Steward. If the Union requests consultation, it shall bear the cost of expenses and compensation for its own representatives. 7 Page 143 of 198  ARTICLE VI Grievance Procedures Section 1: Definition A “grievance” is defined as a dispute or difference of opinion raised by an employee against the Village during the term of this Agreement regarding the alleged violation, misinterpretation or misapplication of an express provision of this Agreement only. Section 2: Procedure The parties acknowledge that it is usually most desirable for an employee and, if requested by the employee, a Union steward, to meet with the employee’s immediate supervisor to resolve problems through free and informal communications. If, however, the informal process does not resolve the matter, then in processing any grievance the following steps shall be adhered to: STEP 1: Any employee who has a grievance shall submit the grievance in writing to the employee’s immediate non-bargaining unit supervisor, specifically indicating that the matter is a grievance under this Agreement. The grievance shall contain a complete statement of the facts, the provision or provisions of this Agreement which are alleged to have been violated, and the relief requested. All grievances must be presented no later than five (5) working days from the date of the first occurrence of the matter giving rise to the grievance or within five (5) working days after the employee, through the use of reasonable diligence, could have obtained knowledge of the first occurrence of the event giving rise to the grievance. The immediate supervisor shall render a written response to the grievant within five (5) working days after the grievance is presented. STEP 2: If the grievance is not settled at Step 1 and the employee wishes to appeal the grievance to Step 2 of the grievance procedure, it shall be submitted in writing to the Head of the Division in which the employee is assigned or the Division Head’s designee within five (5) working days after receipt of the Village’s answer at Step 1. The grievance shall specifically state the basis upon which the grievant believes the grievance was improperly denied at the previous step in the grievance procedure. The Division Head or his designee shall render a written response to the grievance within five (5) working days after the grievance is presented. 8 Page 144 of 198  STEP 3: If the grievance is not settled at Step 2 and the employee wishes to appeal the grievance to Step 3 of the grievance procedure, it shall be submitted in writing to the Head of the department in which the employee is assigned or the Department Head’s designee within seven (7) working days after receipt of the Village’s answer at Step 2. The grievance shall specifically state the basis upon which the grievant believes the grievance was improperly denied at the previous step in the grievance procedure. The Department Head, or his designee, shall investigate the grievance and, in the course of such investigation, shall offer to discuss the grievance within seven (7) working days with the grievant and an authorized representative of the Union at a time mutually agreeable to the parties. If no settlement of the grievance is reached, the Department Head, or his designee, shall provide a written answer to the grievant and the Union within seven (7) working days following their meeting. STEP 4: If the grievance is not settled at Step 3 and the grievant desires to appeal, it shall be referred by the grievant in writing to the Village Manager within seven (7) working days after receipt of the Village’s answer at Step 3. Thereafter, the Village Manager or his designee and other appropriate individual(s) as desired by the Village Manager, shall meet with the grievant and a Union representative within ten (10) working days of receipt of the grievant’s appeal. If no agreement is reached, the Village Manager or designee shall submit a written answer to the grievant and the Union within seven (7) working days following the meeting. Section 3: Arbitration If the grievance is not settled in Step 4 and the Union wishes to appeal the grievance from Step 4 of the grievance procedure, the Union may refer the grievance to binding arbitration, as described below, within ten (10) working days of receipt of the Village’s written answer as provided to the Union at Step 4: (a) The parties shall attempt to agree upon an arbitrator within ten (10) working days after receipt of the Union’s written notice of referral. In the event the parties are unable to agree upon the arbitrator within said ten (10) working day period, the parties shall jointly request the Federal Mediation and Conciliation Service to submit a panel of five (5) arbitrators each of whom shall be from Illinois and be a member of the National Academy of Arbitrators. Each party retains the right to reject one panel in its entirety and request that a new panel be submitted. Both the Village and the Union shall have the right to strike two (2) names from the panel. The party requesting arbitration shall strike the first name; the other party shall then strike a name. The process shall be repeated and the person remaining shall be the arbitrator. 9 Page 145 of 198  (b) The arbitrator shall be notified of his/her selection and shall be requested to set a time and place for the hearing, subject to the availability of Union and Village representatives. (c) The Village and the Union shall have the right to request the arbitrator to require the presence of witnesses or documents. The Village and the Union retain the right to employ legal counsel. (d) The arbitrator shall submit his/her decision in writing within thirty (30) working days following the close of the hearing or the submission of briefs by the parties, whichever is later. (e) More than one grievance may be submitted to the same arbitrator where both parties mutually agree in writing. (f) The fees and expenses of the arbitrator and the cost of a written transcript, if any, shall be divided equally between the Village and the Union; provided, however, that each party shall be responsible for compensating its own representatives and witnesses. Section 4: Limitations on Authority of Arbitrator The arbitrator shall have no right to amend, modify, nullify, ignore, add to, or subtract from the provisions of this Agreement. The arbitrator shall consider and decide only the question of fact as to whether there has been a violation, misinterpretation or misapplication of the specific provisions of this Agreement. The arbitrator shall be empowered to determine the issue raised by the grievance as submitted in writing at Step One. The arbitrator shall have no authority to make a decision on any issue not so submitted or raised. The arbitrator shall be without power to make any decision or award which is contrary to or inconsistent with in any way applicable laws, or of rules and regulations of administrative bodies that have the force and effect of law. The arbitrator shall not in any way limit or interfere with the powers, duties and responsibilities of the Village under law and applicable court decisions. Any decision or award of the arbitrator rendered within the limitations of this Section shall be final and binding on the parties. 10 Page 146 of 198  Section 5: Time Limit for Filing No grievances shall be entertained or processed unless it is submitted at Step 1 within five (5) working days after the first occurrence of the event giving rise to the grievance or within five (5) working days after the employee or the Union, through the use of reasonable diligence, could have obtained knowledge of the first occurrence of the event giving rise to the grievance. If a grievance is not presented by the employee within the time limits set forth above, it shall be considered “waived” and may not be pursued further. If a grievance is not appealed to the next step within the specific time limit or any agreed extension thereof, it shall be considered settled on the basis of the Village’s last answer. If the Village does not answer a grievance or an appeal thereof within the specified time limits, the grievance shall be deemed denied at the step and the grievant may immediately appeal the grievance to the next step. The parties may by mutual agreement in writing extend any of the time limits set forth in the Article. Section 6: Miscellaneous No member of the bargaining unit who is serving in acting capacity shall have any authority to respond to a grievance being processed in accordance with the grievance procedure set forth in this Article. Moreover, no action, statement, agreement, settlement, or representation made by any member of the bargaining unit shall impose any obligation or duty to be considered to be authorized by or binding upon the Village unless and until the Village has agreed thereto in writing. Section 7: Exclusivity of Grievance Procedure The grievance procedure set forth in this Article shall be the sole and exclusive means for discussing and processing items subject to the grievance procedure. 11 Page 147 of 198  ARTICLE VII Job Posting/Probationary Promotions Section 1: Posting If there is a permanent job opening which the Village has decided to fill, the opening shall be posted by the Village on the bulletin board and employees will have five (5) working days after the opening is posted to make an application for such opening. The Village retains the right to temporarily fill the opening by transfer or otherwise. Even though a job opening has been posted, the Village retains the right to decide whether or not it should be filled. Any employee on approved vacation leave on the date of a job posting will be entitled sufficient time to apply for the position upon returning from vacation. Section 2: Orientation A department supervisor or his designee will orientate the new employee. Section 3: Probationary Promotions When a promoted employee fails to pass his six-month probationary period as determined by the Village, he will be demoted to the position he had at the time of his promotion if the position has not been filled and at the rate of pay previously held. If the position has been filled, then the demoted employee will be returned to a position that best represents the use of the employee’s skills as determined by the Village. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as preventing the layoff of a less senior employee in order to accommodate the demotion, in accordance with Article XV. A probationary period may be extended for an additional six months , at the discretion of the Director of Public Works, or their designee. 12 Page 148 of 198  ARTICLE VIII Union Access Section 1: Visitation The Village agrees that non-employee officers and representatives of the Union shall have reasonable access to the premises of the Village during working hours with advance notice to the appropriate Village representative. Such visitations shall be for the reasons of the administration of this Agreement. The Union agrees that such activities shall not interfere with the normal work duties of employees. The Village reserves the right to designate a meeting place or to provide a representative to accompany a Union officer where operational requirements do not permit unlimited access. Section 2: Union Steward The Union shall have the right to certify three (3) stewards to participate in the Grievance Procedure to the extent set forth in Article VI, Grievance Procedure, of this Agreement. In the absence of a steward, one (1) Local Union Representative may act in the capacity of a steward and may participate in the Grievance Procedure to the extent set forth in Article VI, Grievance Procedure, of this Agreement. Section 3: Notification to Village The Chief Steward shall notify the Village Manager, in writing, of the name of the Stewards and so certify. Said notification will be made within forty-eight (48) hours of the certification of the Steward by the Union. Section 4: Union Representation The Union Steward or other appropriate Local Union Representative may represent individual Union members in matters appropriate for Grievance handling as set forth in Article VI, Grievance Procedure. 13 Page 149 of 198  ARTICLE IX Sick Leave Section 1: Annual Earnings Sick leave benefits for employees shall be up to ninety–six (96) hours per year earned bi- weekly at the rate of 3.692 hours for each completed payroll period the employee has been paid for at least forty (40) hours. Said sick leave shall accumulate from year to year of continuous employment with the Village. Employees who have exhausted all sick leave benefits may, upon written request and subject to advance approval by the Village Manager or his designee, be permitted to use any accrued vacation time and/or accrued compensation days during additional sick time. Under special circumstances, advanced sick leave may be granted by advance approval of the Village Manager. Employees shall not be paid for the first day of each sick leave occurrence beginning with the sixth (6) such occurrence in the fiscal year. An employee’s pre-approved use of sick leave to attend a scheduled appointment with the employee’s or employee’s close family member’s physician or dentist during the employee’s scheduled working hours will not be considered an occurrence under this paragraph, provided the appointment does not exceed four (4) hours and the appointment cannot be scheduled to occur during the employee’s non-work time, verified by a written note from the employee’s or employee’s close family member’s physician or dentist stating an appointment was unable to be scheduled outside of the employee’s normally scheduled work hours. For purposes of this section, close family members shall be defined as the employee’s spouse, child (including stepchild), parent and spouse’s parent. Section 2: Usage Sick leave may be used for an employee’s illness, pregnancy and/or childbirth, off-duty injury or non work-related disability of an employee, or quarantine of an employee. Sick leave 14 Page 150 of 198 usage shall be charged to accrued time at a rate corresponding to employees daily work schedule. An employee may not use sick leave during the first ninety (90) days of employment. Employees shall be eligible to receive paid sick leave when there is a sickness or disability involving a member of their immediate family, which requires the employee’s personal care and attendance, provided that requiring the employee to report to work would cause a serious hardship on the member of the immediate family suffering from the illness or disability. For purposes of this Section, the definition of immediate family shall mean the employee’s spouse, child, parent, or parent-in-law. In addition, an employee may, subject to advanced approval by the employee’s Department Director or the Department Director’s designee, be permitted to utilize accrued sick leave to attend a necessary appointment with the employee’s or employee’s close family member’s physician or dentist during the employee’s scheduled working hours, provided that such appointment does not exceed four (4) hours and that said appointment could not be scheduled to occur during the employee’s non-work time. Further, a written notice, , from the employee’s or employee’s close family member’s physician must be submitted upon the employees return to work. The Department Director may limit the use of such sick leave to those hours traveling or actually attending the medical or dental appointment and may require the employee to work those scheduled hours, which do not conflict with the appointment. Section 3: Reporting Sick Leave Absences If an employee fails to call in sick prior to the start of his work day, that employee shall not be paid (or able to use available sick leave benefit) for that time away from work until the time he has made contact with a supervisor, unless such failure is justified by good cause acceptable to the Director of Public Works. Notwithstanding the above, if an employee fails to call in sick to a supervisor any time after two (2) hours past the start of his work day, that 15 Page 151 of 198 employee shall not be paid (or able to use available sick leave benefit) for the full work day or any portion thereof. Any employee absent three (3) or more consecutive work days, who is suspected of abusing sick leave or who has developed a pattern of sick leave usage shall furnish a statement from their attending physician certifying that absence from work was required due to illness and that they are fit to return to full duty. The Village may require, at its discretion and at its expense, and whenever possible during normal working hours, that an employee take a medical physical in conjunction with the above sick leave release procedure. An employee shall provide the Village with accurate information concerning the reason for sick leave usage, and cooperate fully with the Village in connection with any inquiries or medical examinations required under this Article. Section 4: Sick Bank During the term of this Agreement, employees will be eligible to participate on the same basis as other Village employees in any sick leave incentive program or the sick bank program that may be in effect for Village employees generally. Section 5: Misuse of Sick Leave Sick leave is not a right but a benefit provided by the Village in order to provide an employee protection against a loss of pay for a specific period of time due to illness. The misuse of sick leave is a serious matter which cannot be accepted by the Village or the Union. The Village and the employees shall make every effort to correct the misuse of sick leave whenever it may be suspected of occurring. Abuse of the sick leave benefit shall be cause for disciplinary action up to and including discharge. Section 6: Medical Leave of Absence An employee who suffers an off-the-job injury or illness and is unable to return to work following exhaustion of all of his accrued sick leave benefits, vacation days, and holidays, and 16 Page 152 of 198  any Family Medical Leave as provided by Village policy, if applicable, upon request, may be granted a temporary leave of absence with the approval of the Village Manager. Such leave of absence, if granted, shall begin following the use of all accrued benefits and any Family Medical Leave provided by Village policy, if applicable, as described above. If the employee is permitted a Medical Leave of Absence, the Village Manager shall set the time period based on the circumstances in each specific case. The employee shall inform the Village in writing about the nature of the disability and length of time needed for leave. The request shall be accompanied by a written statement from an appropriate professional, which includes the, prognosis, and expected duration of the disability. No sick leave, vacation, holiday or seniority benefits will accrue to the employee during the temporary leave of absence and any holidays, which may occur during the leave, shall be forfeited. Failure to apply for such leave within seven (7) days upon expiration of sick leave benefits will result in automatic termination, unless the employee is able to demonstrate that extraordinary circumstances beyond his control prevented him from applying for such leave within the seven (7) day period. If an employee is determined by appropriate professionals to be permanently disabled and unable to perform the essential duties of his position with reasonable accommodation, as the result of an injury or illness, the employee shall be terminated, effective on the date of such decision by the Village Manager. Section 7: Sick Leave Separation Incentive A sick leave incentive program of the following terms and conditions shall be in effect in order to reduce the amount of sick time usage. Part One: In order to be eligible to receive this benefit, a separating employee must have at least twenty (20) years of continuous service with the Village and a minimum of one thousand (1,000) hours of unused accrued sick leave as of the date of his 17 Page 153 of 198 resignation from the Village. Part Two: Upon separation from employment, the appropriate value of an eligible employee’s accrued sick leave hours accrued pursuant to the Sick Leave Incentive Payout Schedule below will automatically be applied to the purchase of retiree health insurance or the reimbursement of out-of-pocket medical expenses, for such employee or his eligible dependents. Sick Leave Incentive Payout Schedule 1,000 hours 30% (300 hours) 1,001 – 1,600 hours 35% (210 hours) 1,601 – 2,400 hours 40% (320 hours) Maximum benefit: 830 hours There shall be no cash payout to the employee for any sick leave, and the application of the sick leave benefit described herein shall be pursuant to a plan established by the Village in compliance with Section 105 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and the applicable regulations. The maximum benefit shall be eight hundred and thirty (830) hours, valued at the employee’s existing rate of pay at the time of separation from employment. Part Three: This sick incentive described herein shall be available for use following an eligible employee's last day of employment with the Village, subject to the conditions specified in Parts One and Two. Part Four: For purposes of this Section, no employee covered by this agreement shall substitute scheduled or unscheduled vacation or other paid leave for necessary sick time. 18 Page 154 of 198  ARTICLE X Rules and Regulations Section 1: The Union and the Village agree that each will encourage employees to comply, in full, with all Public Works Departmental rules, regulations, orders and directives and the Village of Hoffman Estates Personnel Policy Manual that are not in conflict with provisions of the Agreement. Work rules, regulations, policies, procedures and general orders of the Department in effect on the effective date of this Agreement or issued after the effective date of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect if not in conflict with any article or section of this bargaining Agreement. Section 2: Precedence of Agreement If there is any conflict between the written provisions of this Agreement and the written provisions of any Village ordinance, Village Personnel Policy Manual or departmental policy, rule or regulation, which may be in effect from time to time, the written terms of this Agreement shall take precedence. 19 Page 155 of 198  ARTICLE XI Health and Safety Committee Section 1: Committee Selection The Department of Public Works shall have an employee Safety Committee comprised of five (5) persons. The Director of Public Works shall choose one (1) person from the Department. The Union shall choose one (1) person from each of the following three (3) divisions: Water and Sewer, Street, remaining work groups. The Union shall also select one (1) additional member at large and in any event shall appoint no more than two (2) persons of any similar classification. Section 2: Committee Purpose In accordance with Village procedures, the responsibilities of the Safety Committee include: 1. Review any work-related accidents in the department, and present recommendations to the department head. These recommendations may include suggestions for better safety techniques or equipment. 2. Identify unsafe working conditions and practices and make recommendations for their correction. 3. Periodically make safety inspections of the department and forward recommendations to the department head. 4. Safety Committees shall encourage employee input regarding safety suggestions. 5. Any employee involved in a matter under review by the Committee shall be given the opportunity to verbally discuss the incident with the Committee. The Union recognizes the importance of this Committee and agrees to make any changes in membership necessary to maintain the Committee’s integrity and to avoid a conflict of interest. 20 Page 156 of 198  Section 3: Meetings Safety Committee meetings shall be scheduled on a monthly basis or as needed, and any suggestions should be referred to the Village Manager. The minutes of the Safety Committee meetings shall reflect verbal and written statements, questions and suggestions submitted to the Chairman during the Safety Committee meeting. The Village shall respond to reasonable questions and suggestions submitted during the Safety Committee meetings. The Village’s response shall be provided at the following Safety Committee meeting and the minutes shall reflect verbatim said response. Section 4: The parties agree to cooperate in fulfilling all obligations under applicable laws providing for a safe and healthful workplace. 21 Page 157 of 198  ARTICLE XII Union Bulletin Boards Section 1: Bulletin Boards The Village agrees to provide an area in the garage for the Union to post one (1) bulletin board. Also, space in the Building & Grounds work area of the Village Hall will be provided for the union to post one bulletin board. Section 2: Size The bulletin board space at the garage shall not exceed three (3) feet by three (3) feet. The bulletin board space at the Village Hall will not exceed two (2) feet by two (2) feet. Section 3: Use The Union bulletin boards shall be used for posting of Union notices and shall be restricted to the following: a) Notice of Union recreational and social activities; b) Notice of Union elections and results of such elections; c) Notice of Union appointments; d) Notice of Union meetings, committee meetings, and reports and minutes of said meetings; e) If the Union desires to post any other information or material, the Union shall first submit a copy of same to the Director of Public Works for his approval. The Director of Public Works shall have the sole discretion to approve or disapprove of said posting. Section 4: Removal of Posted Material Any material posted on the Union bulletin boards not on file with the Director of Public Works shall be removed by a supervisor accompanied by a Local Union Steward or representative. 22 Page 158 of 198  Section 5: Union Responsibility All cost incident to preparing and posting of Union material will be borne by the Union. The Union is responsible for posting and removing approved material on its designed bulletin boards and for maintaining such bulletin boards in an orderly condition. 23 Page 159 of 198  ARTICLE XIII Sub-Contracting Section 1: General Policy It is the general policy of the Village to continue to utilize its employees to perform work they are qualified to perform. However, the Village reserves the right to contract out any work it deems necessary in the interests of efficiency, economy, improved work product or emergency. Section 2: Notice and Discussion Except where an emergency situation exists, before the Village changes its policy involving the overall sub-contracting of work in a general area, where such policy change amounts to a significant deviation from past practice which will result in the loss of work of a significant number of bargaining unit employees, the Village will notify the Union and offer the Union an opportunity to discuss the desirability of sub-contracting such work. 24 Page 160 of 198  ARTICLE XIV Working Out of Classification Section 1: Pay for Work Out of Classification Public Works employees requested to work temporarily, for more than four (4) hours in any classification above the one currently held shall receive $1.80 per hour in addition to the employee’s base rate of pay for the time said employee is working in the higher classification. Section 2: Selection of Employees to Work Out of Classification The selection of Public Works employees to work out of classification shall be the responsibility of the Superintendents, or their designee. If an employee(s) is needed to perform temporary assignment(s) in another division other than the one normally assigned to, the Village will make a reasonable effort to find a volunteer(s). If no one volunteers, or the assignment requires a particular person’s skills or qualifications, the Village shall select a qualified person in reverse seniority order. Unless a particular person’s skills or the amount of training involved require his or her continued presence in a temporary position, a temporary assignment will not exceed 60 work days, at which time a different person shall be selected. This process shall continue until the job assignment is completed. It is specifically understood that this Section shall not pertain to any assignments that are a normal and regular part of an employee’s out-of-division assignments or emergency responsibilities; e.g., snow and ice control, emergency response, etc. 25 Page 161 of 198  ARTICLE XV Seniority & Layoffs Section 1: Probationary Period – New Employees All new employees shall be on probation for a period of one (1) year of work, and shall be subject to discharge, demotion, layoff or otherwise dismissed by the Village at its option. Neither the reason for nor the above-referenced action may be the subject of a grievance. The probationary period may be extended by the Village Manager for an additional three (3) month period. Section 2: Seniority and Seniority List Seniority shall be based on the length of continuous full-time service with the Village. The Village shall maintain seniority lists of all employees covered by this Agreement. Seniority shall be applied on a department wide basis to determine scheduled overtime provided that the most senior employee is qualified to do the work. To determine the observance of a Designated Holiday, Superbowl and any Call Duty, divisional seniority will be used provided the most senior employee available to meet the staffing requirements is qualified. If the department’s staffing needs are not filled going through the applicable seniority list, then an inverse seniority order will be used to meet staffing needs. The inverse process will start with the least senior employee qualified to do the work for scheduled overtime, Designated Holidays, Superbowl and Call Duty staffing assignments. The Union shall provide the department’s management with a list of those employees off for the observance of Designated Holidays and the Superbowl by April 1 of each year. Snow and Ice route assignments for the upcoming season will be selected by November 15 and will be made based on department seniority for the initial call-out of employees on a Salting Roster. Any vacancies on the Roster will be filled by the 26 Page 162 of 198 selection process that was submitted by November 15. It is understood that during continuing snow and ice operations, originally selected route assignments will not be in effect. Section 3: Termination of Seniority and Employment Seniority and employment shall be terminated when an employee: a) is absent for three (3) consecutive workdays without reporting the reason for such absence to the Village and the expected date of return. Such person shall be considered to have quit without notice. If the employee does not return to work on the date that he indicated, it will be necessary for the absent employee to again notify the Village, and failure to do so shall be considered a quit. b) is laid off or absent for any other reason for a period of time equal to his seniority or twelve (12) months, whichever is less (except that absence due to sickness or occupational injury does not apply). c) fails to return from an approved leave of absence, including sick leave, on the workday following the expiration of the leave. d) quits or retires. e) is discharged. Section 4: Layoffs In the event the Village determines that a layoff is necessary during the remainder of the term of the contract, employees will be laid off by job classification from the affected division in reverse order of hire, provided that at the Village’s determination, the remaining employees in the department division can fully perform the remaining work. Prior to any layoff of a full-time employee in a classification and/or division, all seasonal, part-time, temporary or probationary employees in the affected classification and/or division shall be laid off or terminated. An employee will be notified in writing of his layoff. When an employee in an affected division is laid off, that employee, if in a higher classification, will have the opportunity to displace the least senior (based on department seniority) bargaining unit employee within the same job classification, if applicable, or in the 27 Page 163 of 198 next lower job classification, provided he is qualified to fully perform the remaining work of the bargaining unit employee displaced. The compensation of a laid off employee displacing another bargaining unit employee in the same job classification will remain the same. If the laid off employee, who is displacing a bargaining unit employee in a lower job classification, is at a rate of pay higher than the salary range maximum of the lower job classification, the employee will be placed at that range’s maximum rate of pay. If the laid off employee’s compensation is at a rate of pay lower than the salary range maximum of the lower job classification, the employee will be placed at the next lower pay step of that salary range that closest corresponds to the rate of pay in the former higher job classification. The following provisions shall be applicable to any non-probationary full-time employees who are laid off by the Village during the time that they have recall rights: 1. An employee shall receive full pay for all earned and unused vacation time and floating holidays. 2. If an employee with at least three years seniority voluntarily elects to be terminated rather than being laid off and thereby forfeiting any right to recall, said employee shall receive two (2) weeks salary as severance pay. 3. An employee shall be on a recall list for a period of time equal to his seniority or 12 months, whichever is less. 4. Employees shall have the right to maintain insurance coverage under COBRA by paying in advance the full applicable monthly premium (employer and employee co-payments) for employee’s coverage in effect prior to the layoff. 5. An employee shall have the right to apply for vacancies at any position covered by this Agreement which the Village has decided to fill, provided the Village has the right to determine whether the employee is qualified to fill any such vacancy. If two or more employees on layoff apply for the same position, which the Village is seeking to fill and the Village has determined that their qualifications are equal, the position shall be awarded to the employee with the greatest seniority. 28 Page 164 of 198  Section 5: Recall If there is a recall in the employee’s departmental division, employees who are still on the recall list in said departmental division shall be recalled in the inverse order of their layoff. If any employee is recalled from layoff, the employee shall be automatically restored to the rate of pay which he received prior to the layoff, provided the employee is restored to his original job. Employees who are eligible for recall shall be given seven (7) calendar days notice of recall and notice of recall shall be sent to the employee by certified or registered mail with a copy to the Union, provided that the employee must notify the Village of his intention to return to work within three (3) days after receiving notice of recall. The Village shall be deemed to have fulfilled its obligations by mailing the recall notice by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, to the mailing address last provided by the employee, it being the obligation and responsibility of the employee to provide the Village with his latest mailing address. If an employee fails to timely respond to a recall notice, his name shall be removed from the recall list. Section 6: New Hires The Village shall not hire any new employees at any time unless all present regular employees covered by this Agreement are working a full forty (40) hour week. Section 7: Discharges Any employee may be discharged, and any dispute arising as a result of such discharge, with the exception of discharges of new employees on probation, shall be subject to the grievance procedure as herein provided. 29 Page 165 of 198  ARTICLE XVI Normal Workday/Workweek Section 1: Application This Article is intended to define the normal hours of work per day or per week in effect at the time of execution of this Agreement. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as preventing the Village from restructuring the normal workday or workweek for the purpose of promoting the efficiency of municipal government; from establishing the work schedules of employees; and establishing part-time positions. Should the Village need to restructure the normal workday or workweek, existing qualified employees may volunteer, in seniority order, to fill that position(s). If sufficient staffing is not met through volunteers, the position or remaining positions of the restructured work schedule shall be filled through an inverse order of seniority from those qualified bargaining unit employees hired after January 1, 2000. In order to provide qualified trained staff for a restructured work schedule under the terms of this Section, the Village may temporarily assign a qualified bargaining unit employee through seniority to the restructured schedule to train a permanently assigned employee or provide coverage while that employee is attending training. A temporary assignment shall not extend more than thirty (30) workdays for any one employee. Section 2: Calendar Week Departmental calendar week shall be from 12:00 a.m. Sunday to 11:59 p.m. Saturday. Section 3: Normal Workweek and Workday Except as provided elsewhere in this Agreement, the normal workweek shall consist of forty (40) hours per Departmental Calendar week and such additional time as may, from time to time, be required in the judgment of the Village to serve the citizens of the Village. A normal 30 Page 166 of 198 workday may be interrupted by an unpaid lunch period and consist of two breaks totaling no more than 30 minutes combined. 31 Page 167 of 198  ARTICLE XVII Overtime Section 1: Overtime Pay Employees covered by this Agreement shall be paid one and one-half (1-1/2) times their regular straight time hourly rate of pay for all authorized hours of work in excess of forty (40) hours in a workweek as required by the Fair Labor Standards Act or as provided for in Section 4 of this Article. For purposes of this Article, “hours of work” shall mean hours actually worked plus scheduled vacation time, floating holidays, designated holidays and compensation time and shall not include sick time, or any other non-work time, as stated in the Fair Labor Standards Act. Employees have the option of converting earned overtime to compensation time (one hour of overtime equals one and one-half hours of compensation time) in an amount not to exceed sixty-four (64) total hours of unused compensation time at any given time. Said time may be scheduled off up to a maximum of forty-eight (48) hours in any one calendar year with the approval of the employee’s non-bargaining unit supervisor and a forty-eight (48) hour notice of intent to take said time is required. Employees may, at their option, cash out up to forty (40) hours of their accrued compensation time on an annual basis. Said payment will be made as a separate check only on the first payroll of each December. Section 2: Holiday Time Inclusive of holiday pay at an employee’s regular hourly rate of pay, an employee shall be paid two-and-one-half (2-1/2) times his regular straight time hourly rate for all hours worked on any of the seven (7) designated holidays. 32 Page 168 of 198  Section 3: No Pyramiding Compensation shall not be paid or compensatory time taken more than once for the same hours under any provision of this Article or Agreement. There shall be no pyramiding of overtime or premium compensation rates. Section 4: Overtime Payment An employee who works any hours between 4:30 p.m. and his regular starting time as determined by the Village shall be compensated at one-and-one half (1-1/2) times their regular straight time hourly rate of pay. On any day this occurs, an employee will not be guaranteed eight hours of straight time pay, or permitted to extend any portion of the day with other benefit compensation. Furthermore, it is understood that after an employee has worked a combination of forty (40) hours of straight time and overtime in any single workweek, there will be no guarantee of additional working hours in that same workweek. Section 5: Overtime Selection No non-bargaining unit employee will take scheduled overtime work which can be performed by a bargaining unit employee until scheduled overtime opportunities have been posted for twenty-four (24) hours. Notice of scheduled overtime opportunities shall be posted with the date and time of the posting. After the twenty-four (24) hour notice, any qualified member of the department, including non-bargaining unit employees, may sign up. The Village agrees to make a reasonable effort to offer non-emergency bargaining unit overtime to bargaining unit employees who are qualified and capable of performing the work and can respond in a satisfactory response time. The remedy for any error in assignment to overtime shall be to assign the employee the next available overtime. In the event that there is less than 24 hours’ notice of scheduled overtime, the supervisor shall contact bargaining unit members, based on seniority, via Everbridge. If the required 33 Page 169 of 198 staffing is not filled, the supervisor shall use call duty personnel. If additional staffing is still needed, then any qualified member of the department, including non-bargaining unit employees, may sign up. This provision shall not apply to and is not intended to limit or restrict the Village’s right to subcontract for services, as provided in Article XIII. Section 6: Overtime Selection – Hold Over In the event that a bargaining unit employee needs to be “held over” past their normal work hours to complete work started earlier in the day, those bargaining unit employee(s) will be offered the opportunity to continue that work to complete the task. Should the bargaining unit employee, originally assigned to the crew doing the work not be able to stay to complete the task, the Supervisor will request to replace that bargaining unit employee with another bargaining unit employee based on qualified seniority via Everbridge. This provision does not apply to the Snow and Ice Roster. 34 Page 170 of 198  ARTICLE XVIII Call Duty/Call Back Section 1: Call Back An employee called back to work after having left work shall receive a minimum of two (2) hours at the applicable overtime rate unless the time extends to his regular work shift at which time the employee’s straight time rate would apply or unless the individual is called back to rectify his own error. Section 2: Call Duty The Village may institute a call duty policy, which may apply to all bargaining unit employees. When an employee is required to be on call duty after hours on their regularly scheduled work days (M – F, or Tues. – Sat.), he shall receive $60 or one and one half (1.5) hours of compensation time for each call duty tour. When an employee is required to be on call duty during their non-scheduled work days (Sat. – Sun or Sun. – Mon.) or a Village Designated Holiday, he shall receive $80 or one and one half (1.5) hours of compensation time. A tour is defined as 24 hours. Employees required to be on call duty shall be provided fourteen (14) days notice except in exigent circumstances. Section 3: Heavy Equipment Operator Call Duty Employees designated and classified as Heavy Equipment Operators are required to be available for HEO work such as utility excavations. When said employee is required to be on this call duty after hours on their regularly scheduled work days (M – F, or Tues. – Sat.), he shall receive $60 or one and one half (1.5) hours of compensation time for each call duty tour. When an employee is required to be on call duty during their non-scheduled work days (Sat. – Sun. or Sun. – Mon.) or a Village Designated Holiday, he shall receive $80 or one and one half (1.5) hours of compensation time for each tour of duty.

If the schedule is submitted incomplete, the Department will complete the schedule from the designated HEO personnel list. 36 Page 172 of 198  ARTICLE XIX Heavy Equipment Operator Program Section 1: Program Purpose The HEO program is established for operators of equipment required in earth excavations using the backhoe such as for water main repair, hydrant and valve replacement in close proximity to other utilities. A minimum one (1) year commitment is required of program participants. Participants must demonstrate and maintain adequate knowledge and skill in performing HEO duties and are expected to perform such tasks intermittently, as determined by the Director of Public Works or their designee, to retain proficiency. Continued participation in the program is contingent upon satisfactory performance of HEO responsibilities. Section 2: Designated HEO The Department will designate up to six (6) HEO positions annually thereafter based on an operator’s continued skill and ability on the equipment and the operator’s safety record with the equipment. In the Department’s determination, additional designated HEOs may be added to the program to address operational needs. Section 3: HEO in Training The Department will maintain a secondary pool of personnel who have HEO skills and abilities (as determined by the Department) that will be eligible to sign up for the HEO Call Duty Program to supplement the designated HEOs. These individuals are considered as HEOs in training and will be assigned to this secondary pool by the Department and would only be eligible for a designated HEO position based on meeting the criteria as established in #2 above. 37 Page 173 of 198 Section 4: Call Duty A Call Duty program is established to provide coverage seven (7) days per week as provided in Article XVIII, Section 3. The call duty should be equally divided between the designated HEOs. However, the call duty list may be supplemented with a secondary pool of employees that are approved by the Department. The minimum participation level of the designated HEOs shall be 6 weeks per year. All HEOs, as with all other department personnel, are required to respond to emergencies or other types of call-outs, however, not as first responders, that involve multiple personnel participation such as would be the case for snow removal operations, flooding or other events of a significant magnitude that may not involve equipment operation. The Union will provide a complete HEO Call Duty Schedule to the Department fourteen (14) days prior to the upcoming month’s call duty. If the schedule is submitted incomplete, the Department will complete the schedule from the designated HEO personnel list. Any schedule changes must be approved by a Supervisor prior to the change. 38 Page 174 of 198  ARTICLE XX Salary Schedule and Fringe Benefits Section 1: Salary Schedule Effective January 1, 2026, the following step increases and wage adjustments shall be in effect for bargaining unit position classifications in accordance with the schedule below.

Crew Leader – The Department will designate annually, based on operational functions, up to six (6) crew leader positions who assign and coordinate the work activities of at least two (2) other bargaining unit employees over the majority of the work year. In the Department’s determination, additional designated crew leaders may be added to the program to address operational needs. Night Shift – Employees working the designated night shift (2:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m.). H. Snow and Ice Operations The Snow and Ice operations of the Village are an emergency service and not subject to the provisions of the Call-Duty Section of ARTICLE XVIII or other provisions of this Agreement. Snow and Ice operations are in 44 Page 180 of 198  effect from December 1 of a calendar year through April 1 of the next calendar year. Two (2), twelve 12-hour Salting Rosters (A.M. and P.M.), filled on a seniority basis, are maintained throughout the season. For each hour, outside an employee’s regularly scheduled workday, on either the A.M. or P.M. Salting Roster that employee will receive a stipend of one dollar and sixty-five cents per hour ($1.65). Effective January 1, 2028 that employee will receive one dollar and seventy cents per hour ($1.70). The total stipend will be paid in a separate check to all eligible employees on May first of each year along with the uniform allowance, when applicable. If an employee should separate from Village service during a Snow and Ice season any eligible Salting Roster stipend due will be processed with the employee’s final payout. To address snow and ice emergencies outside of the declared Snow and Ice Season (Dec 1st – April 1st) a voluntary sign up list will be posted on an as needed basis by management staff. Employees that sign up will receive 16 hours of stipend pay at the current stipend rate per hour for weekdays and 24 hours of stipend pay for weekends and holidays. Said employees will be required to respond for the 24 hour period posted, if contacted to address a snow and ice emergency. Should the Village not receive an adequate number of union employee sign ups, then union employees will be contacted in reverse seniority order to address the emergency. If after contacting all union staff there still remains an inadequate number of responding union employees, the Village will deploy non-union staff or auxiliary drivers to address the emergency. Wages for members of the bargaining unit shall be adjusted during the term of the –2020-2025 Agreement only according to the schedule set forth in Subsections A through F. The Village and the Union agree that the wage increases contained in Subsections A through F are minimum 45 Page 181 of 198 increases, and that the Village may, at its discretion, provide discretionary increases to any or all employees at any time, including but not limited to performance, range or market adjustments Section 2: Designated Holidays.

Holiday time shall be paid at a rate corresponding to employees daily work schedule (e.g., eight (8) hour work days). Section 3: Floating Holidays Members of the unit shall be entitled to floating holidays totaling forty (40) hours to be used at the discretion of the employee subject to the approval from the department head. They shall be subject to procedures outlined in the Personnel Policy Manual, as the Village may change from time to time. In January of each fiscal year, an employee may be entitled to one (1) additional floating holiday (utilized as a prize day) if during the twelve (12) months of the preceding fiscal year they had no more than two (2) sick leave occurrences. Additionally, an employee may be entitled to two (2) additional floating holidays (utilized as prize days) if during the twelve (12) months of the preceding fiscal year they had no more than one (1) sick leave occurrence. Floating holidays may be taken in four (4) hour increments corresponding to the assigned work schedule. Employees must request the use of floating holidays in writing with forty-eight (48) hours notice. 46 Page 182 of 198  Section 4: Health Insurance The Village and employees covered under this contract shall pay the monthly premium cost for the hospitalization and major medical insurance plan or the HMO option subject to the following schedule: 01/01/2026 01/01/2027 01/01/2028 10% 15% 10% Employee Single, Single Plus Single/ Family Single, Single Plus Share One. Family Premium One, Family Premium Premium Village Remainder Remainder Remainder Share The employee contributions required under this Section shall be deducted from the employee’s paycheck. Employee contributions required under this Section shall be in addition to employee deductibles or cost sharing required under the Village insurance plan. The Union agrees the Village retains the right to change carriers or otherwise provide for coverage (e.g., self-insurance) as long as the level of benefits remains substantially the same. Effective January 1, 2026 and each January 1 after that the health insurance plan revisions pursuant to Appendix C will be made. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section, the parties agree that if the Village makes any changes or modifications with respect to co-payments and/or deductibles for out-patient surgical procedures and/or with respect to co-payment levels of the indemnity plan (now at 80/20), that are applicable to other regular full-time Village employees, then such changes or modifications shall likewise be applicable to the employees covered by this Agreement on the same terms and on the same date that they are applicable to other regular full-time Village employees provided, however, that written notice thereof is provided to the Union at least thirty (30) days prior to the effective date of such changes and/or modifications. 47 Page 183 of 198  The parties agree that the Village may take actions to comply with the provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA). For purposes of compliance with the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (hereinafter referred to as the “ACA”) and/or to avoid the statutory threshold of the “Cadillac Plan Excise Tax” provided for in Section 49801 of the Internal Revenue Code, the parties agree as follows: If the Employer determines that the total dollar amount of health coverage costs for either individual or other coverage is at or above ninety percent (90%) of single and family coverage of the “Cadillac Plan Excise Tax” statutory thresholds provided for in Section 49801 of the Internal Revenue Code, for either self-insured or fully-insured coverage), or if changes under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (the “ACA”) are enacted into law or made applicable through regulations or through binding sub-regulatory guidance and such changes render the Employer’s health plan out of compliance with the ACA, the employer shall notify the Union of that determination with reasonable supporting documentation. Within thirty (30) days of such notification, for purposes of avoiding the statutory thresholds of the “Cadillac Plan Excise Tax”, the parties shall reopen the Agreement’s health insurance provisions and shall meet to re-negotiate the terms of the health plan design only, including but not limited to possible changes in deductibles, out-of-pocket maximums, co-pays and co-insurance that will reduce the total dollar cost below 90% of both single and family coverage of the “Cadillac Plan Excise Tax” statutory thresholds provided for in Section 49801 of the Internal Revenue Code), or to re-negotiate changes in the health plan in order to be in statutory compliance with the ACA. In the event that the parties reach impasse on these issues or negotiations delay beyond October 1 of the calendar year, the Employer may unilaterally implement its final offer. 48 Page 184 of 198  Section 5: Miscellaneous It is agreed that the extent of the Village of Hoffman Estates’ obligation under Section 5 (Health Insurance) of this Article is limited solely to the payment of the cost of the insurance premium program provided thereunder, and employees and their dependents and beneficiaries shall be entitled to benefits, if any, only in accordance with and governed by the terms and conditions of the insurance policy, or policies, issued to provide such benefits. The Village of Hoffman Estates shall not itself be obligated to pay any insurance benefits provided for in said sections of this Articled directly to employees or their dependents or beneficiaries. The failure of any insurance carrier, or carriers, to provide any benefit for which it has contracted shall result in no liability to the Village of Hoffman Estates. Additionally, such failure will not be considered a breach by the Village of Hoffman Estates of any obligation undertaken under this or any other agreement. However, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to relieve any insurance carrier from any liability it may have to the Village of Hoffman Estates, employee, or beneficiary, or dependent of any employee. The terms of any contract or policy issued by an insurance carrier shall be controlling in all matters pertaining to benefits thereunder. Should there be a dispute between an employee (or his beneficiary or dependent) and the insurance carrier, or carriers, or the processor claims, this dispute shall not be subject to the grievance procedure provided for in this Collective Bargaining Agreement between the Village of Hoffman Estates and Local 700. The Village reserves the right to maintain or institute cost containment measures relative to insurance coverage as long as the basic level of coverage remains substantially the same. Such changes may include, but are not limited to, mandatory second opinions for elective surgery, pre-admission and continuing admission review, prohibition on weekend admissions 49 Page 185 of 198 except in emergency situations, and mandatory out-patient elective surgery for designated surgical procedures. Section 6: Vacation Schedule Length of Service Annual Earnings Starting the 1st payroll to 3rd year anniversary a rate of 2 weeks Beginning of the 4th year to 10th year anniversary a rate of 3 weeks th th Beginning of the 11 year to 16 year anniversary a rate of 4 weeks During the 17th year a rate of 4 weeks + 1 day During the 18th year a rate of 4 weeks + 3 days Beginning of the 19th year and each year thereafter a rate of 5 weeks Employees following the term of the CBA and Department policies may use accrued vacation time up to the accrued balance. Thus new employees can use vacation during the first year of employment. The bi-weekly accrual of vacation time has an automatic carry-over of up to one-and-one-half an employee’s annual earnings (i.e., two (2) weeks annual earning – three (3) annual weeks maximum accrual, four (4) weeks annual earnings – six (6) weeks maximum accrual) An employee who reaches the maximum accrual limit of vacation will cease earning vacation benefit until such time that the total vacation time balance is below the maximum limit. At that time, vacation benefit will resume accruing bi-weekly. Any vacation time canceled by the Village will not be lost to the employee nor count against the maximum accrual. However, such canceled time must be used within six (6) months of cancellation. Up to five (5) vacation and prize days per anniversary year may be taken in four (4) hour increments corresponding to one-half of the assigned daily work schedule. All other vacation time must be taken in full-day (eight (8) hour increments). Employees must provide ten (10) days written notice of vacation of five (5) days or more and forty-eight (48) hours written notice to use vacation of less than one (1) week. All use of vacation time is subject to approval by the supervisor. 50 Page 186 of 198  Each employee shall be allowed four (4) exemptions per calendar year from the forty- eight (48) hour advance notice requirement, provided that a valid reason exists. An employee may not use the exemption for vacation in excess of a full work day increment (eight (8) hour work day). However, employee may use said exemption for vacation in increments of four (4) hours based on the eight (8) hour work day schedule. Use of more than four (4) exemption requests by an employee during the calendar year shall be cause for denial of the vacation usage. During the Snow & Ice season (Dec. 1 – April 1) or other after hours emergency situations, employees may use vacation time, compensation time or floating holiday to fill in for regular hours not worked as a result of being sent home to prepare for or recover from an after hours snow storm. In no case shall said vacation time, compensation time or floating holiday cause more than 40 regular hours in any one workweek. Employees will be allowed up to four (4) exemptions per calendar year from the 48-hour advance notice with the ability to use vacation in increments up to eight (8) hours, which will be considered an exemption. Should an employee be late for work in excess of fifteen (15) minutes and not make contact with a supervisor prior to the start of the work day, that tardy will be considered use of (1) exemption. Section 7: Uniforms All employees who are provided with uniforms are required to wear these uniforms and report to work with them being clean and neat in appearance. The Village reserves the right to determine the appropriate attire, in addition to the uniforms, for bargaining unit employees and when the attire should be worn.

The affected employee upon request shall be allowed to have an Union representative or steward present during the discussion, although such discussion will not be inordinately delayed if a representative is not available. Section 2: Drug Testing All bargaining unit employees shall be subject to drug and alcohol testing consistent with the Department of Transportation rules governing drug and alcohol testing and implementing the Omnibus Transportation Employee Testing Act of 1991.

Use of prescribed (i.e., illegal) drugs at any time while employed by the Village, abuse of prescribed drugs, as well as having prescribed drugs in the blood while on duty, shall be cause for discipline, including discharge. Cause for discipline, including dismissal, shall exist when an employee consumes or possesses alcohol at any time during or just prior to the beginning of the employee’s working hours or anywhere on any Village premises or job sites, including Village buildings, properties, vehicles and the employee’s personal vehicle while engaged in Village business; or when an employee is under the influence of alcohol during working hours. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to prevent an employee from requesting treatment in lieu of discipline. Section 3: Medical Examinations If there is any question concerning an employee’s fitness for duty or fitness to return to duty following a layoff or leave of absence, the Village may require, at its expense, that the employee be examined by a qualified physician and/or another appropriate medical professional selected by the Village. The foregoing requirement shall be in addition to any requirement that an employee provide at his own expense a statement from his own doctor upon returning from sick leave of not less than three (3) days, or disability leave. If the Village determines that an employee is not fit for duty after receiving the results of any of the above examinations/tests, the Village may place the employee on sick leave (or unpaid leave if the employee does not have any unused sick leave days). 56 Page 192 of 198  ARTICLE XXII Termination and Legality Clauses Section 1: Savings If any provision of this Agreement is subsequently declared by legislative or judicial authority to be unlawful, unenforceable, or not in accordance with applicable statutes, all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for the duration of this Agreement and the parties shall meet as soon as possible to agree on a substitute provision.
