disciplinary actions listed above, any other matter or issue subject to the jurisdiction of the board
of Police Commissioners shall not be considered a grievance under this Agreement.
Section 6.2. Procedure. The parties acknowledge that it is usually most desirable for an officer
and his/her immediate supervisor to resolve problems through free and informal
communications. If, however, the informal process does not resolve the matter, the grievance
will be processed as follows:
STEP 1. Any officer who has a grievance shall submit the grievance in writing to the officer's
immediate on -duty supervisor of the rank of sergeant or higher specifically indicating that the
matter is a grievance under this Agreement. The grievance shall contain a complete statement of
facts, the provision or provisions of this Agreement which are alleged to have been violated, and
the relief requested. Preparation of these written materials shall not be done during the officer's
hours of work. All grievances must be presented no later than seven (7) calendar days from the
event giving rise to the grievance or within seven (7) calendar days after the officer, 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 seven (7) calendar days after the grievance is presented.
STEP 2. If the grievance is not settled at Step 1 and the officer wishes to appeal the grievance to
Step 2 of the grievance procedure, it shall be submitted in writing to the Deputy Police Chief of
Operations or his/her designee within seven (7) calendar days after receipt of the Village's
answer at Step 1. The grievance shall specifically state the basis upon which the grievant
believes that grievance was improperly denied at the previous step in the grievance procedure.
Preparation of these written materials shall not be done during the officer's hours of work. The
Deputy Police Chief shall investigate the grievance and, in the course of such investigation, shall
offer to discuss the grievance within, seven (7) calendar 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 Deputy Police Chief shall provide a written answer to the grievant and
the Union within seven (7) calendar days following the meeting.
STEP 3. If the grievance is not settled in Step 2 and the officer wishes to appeal the grievance to
Step 3 of the grievance procedure, it shall be submitted in writing to the Police Chief or his/her
.19
designee within seven (7) calendar days after receipt of the Village's answer at Step 2. The
grievance shall specifically state the basis upon which the grievant believes that grievance was
improperly denied at the previous step in the grievance procedure. Preparation of these written
materials shall not be done during the officer's hours of work. The Police Chief or the Police
Chief's designee shall investigate the grievance and, in the course of such investigation, shall
offer to discuss the grievance within seven (7) calendar 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 Police Chief, or the Police Chief's designee, shall provide a written
answer to the grievant and the Union within seven (7) calendar days following their meeting.
STEP 4. If the grievance is not settled at Step 3 and the grievant or the Union (if a Union
grievance) desires to appeal, it shall be referred by the Union in writing to the Village Manager
or his/her designee within seven (7) calendar days after receipt of the Village's answer at Step 3.
Thereafter, the Village Manager or the Village Manager's designee and the Police Chief or other
appropriate individuals as desired by the Village Manager (not to exceed three) shall meet with
the grievant and a Union representative and other appropriate individuals as desired by the Union
representative (not to exceed three) within seven (7) calendar days of receipt of the Union's
appeal. If no agreement is reached, the Village Manager or the Village Manager's designee shall
submit a written answer to the grievant and the Union within seven (7) calendar days following
the meeting.
STEP 5. 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, it may refer the grievance to arbitration, as
described below, within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of the Village's written answer as
provided to the Union at Step 4.
(a) In the absence of agreement on a neutral arbitrator, the parties shall file a joint request
with the Federal Mediation & Conciliation Service ("FMCS") for a panel of five (5)
arbitrators from which the parties shall select a neutral arbitrator. In the event that the
Village representative does not sign and submit said request to FMCS or return it to the
Union fully signed within ten (10) calendar days after receipt by the Village
representative, the Union may file a request that is consistent with the provisions of this
subsection with the FMCS signed only by it with notice to the Village. The parties agree
to request the FMCS to limit the plan to members of the National Academy of Arbitrators
who reside within a radius of 100 miles of the City of Chicago. Both the Village and the
Union shall each have the right to reject one panel in its entirety, on written notice to the
other, within seven (7) calendar days of its receipt and request that a new panel be
submitted. The Village and the Union shall have the right alternately to strike names
from the panel. One party shall strike a name, the other parry shall then strike a name,
and this procedure shall continue until one name remains. The person remaining shall be
the arbitrator. The parties shall alternate striking the first name, with the Union striking
the first in the grievance arbitration, and the Village striking on the next grievance
arbitration and so on thereafter during the collective bargaining relationship between the
parties.

(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 arbitrator shall endeavor to submit his/her 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.
(d) More than one grievance may be submitted to the same arbitrator where both parties
mutually agree in writing.
(e) The fees and expenses of the arbitrator and the cost of a written transcript shall be
divided equally between the Village and the Union provided, however, that each parry
shall be responsible for compensating its own representatives or witnesses.
Section 6.3. Limitations of 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 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 or issues reasonably raised by the grievance as initially submitted. The
arbitrator shall have no authority to make a decision on any issue or issues not so reasonably
raised. The arbitrator shall be without power to make any decision or award which is contrary to
or inconsistent with applicable laws. Any decision or award of the arbitrator rendered within the
limitations of this Section 6 shall be final and binding upon the Village, the Union and the
grievants.
Section 6.4. Time Limit for Filing No grievance shall be entertained or processed unless it is
submitted within the time limits set forth in Step 1.
If a grievance is not presented by the officer or by the Union (as defined above) 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 officer
or the Union, whichever is applicable, may elect to treat the grievance as denied at the step and,
within fifteen (15) days after the Village answer was due, 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 6.5. Bypassing Steps. The parties may by mutual agreement in writing agree to bypass
one or more steps of the grievance procedure. Any grievance filed by the Union shall be initiated
at Step 3.

with pay, if working, to attend grievance hearings with Deerfield if, by virtue of their position
with the Union, their attendance is necessary. Attendance shall be subject to reasonable prior
notice and the approval of the Chief of Police, which approval shall not be unreasonably denied
or withheld.

relating to any officer covered by this Agreement shall be open and available for inspection by
the affected officer during regular business hours, consistent with the Personnel Records Act.
Chapter 820, ILCS 40/1 et. seq. and subsequent revisions.
Any record of summary punishment may be used for a period of time not to exceed five (5) years
and shall thereafter not be used to support or as evidence of adverse employment action. Any
oral or written reprimand which has been in an officer's HR file for more than 18 months will
not be considered or used in either the promotion process or for progressive discipline purposes,
provided the officer has not engaged in the same or similar conduct during the 18 month period.
Section 7.2. Employee Notification. A copy of any disciplinary action or material related to an
officer's performance which is placed in the personnel file shall be sent to the officer within
seven (7) calendar days of the addition.

Section 7.4. Requirement for Response to Complaint. No officer will be required to submit a
written response to Deerfield on any complaint against him/her by persons in or outside the
Deerfield Police Department, unless said persons cause that complaint to be reduced to writing to
include any accusations against the employee and will include the identity of the complaining
party. Prior to any report having to be written by an officer, the officer will be furnished with a
copy of said complaint. Nothing in this section shall modify or delete the provisions of Article 4.
Nothing in this section shall prevent the management of the Deerfield Police Department from
independently investigating any complaint against an officer. In any meeting called by command
or supervisory personnel, in which an officer reasonably believes that discipline will result from
the meeting, the officer may request that a Union representative be present. Such representative
may be a local unit representative or an Illinois Council of Police representative, at the officer's
choosing, provided that the selection of a Union representative shall not unreasonably delay the
conduct of the meeting.
VA
ARTICLE 8. INDEMNIFICATION
Deerfield shall be responsible for indemnifying all officers as set for in 65 ILCS 5/1-4-5, 1-4-6,
1-4-7, 1-4-8 and any subsequent revisions.

Section 9.1. Labor -Management Conferences. At the request of either party, the President of the
Union and the Police Chief or their designee(s) shall meet at least quarterly to discuss matters of
mutual concern that do not involve negotiations. The President of the Union or his/her
designee(s) may invite other Union bargaining unit members (not to exceed two) to attend such
meetings. The Police Chief or his designee(s) may invite other Village representatives (not to
exceed two) to attend such meetings. The Union shall submit a written agenda of the items it
wishes to discuss at least seven (7) calendar days prior to the date of the meeting. This section
shall not be applicable to any matter that is being processed pursuant to the grievance procedure
set forth in this Agreement. Attendance at such meetings shall be voluntary.
Section 9.2. Attendance at Labor -Management Conferences. Attendance at labor-management
conferences shall be voluntary on the officer's part. Attendance at such conferences shall not
interfere with required duty time, and attendance, if duty time, is permitted only upon reasonable
notice to and prior approval of the Chief of Police. The Chief of Police may approve attendance
subject to the manpower needs of the department. Officers attending a labor-management
conference while on duty shall suffer no loss in pay during approved attendance. Officers
attending such conferences shall be limited to two.
ARTICLE 10: SHIFT BIDDING
On or about November 1" of each year, an annual schedule for the following year will be posted.
The posted schedule will contain shift assignments for midnight shift, day shift and afternoon
shift.
On or about October 0 of each year, the Deputy Chief of Operations will distribute a shift
preference survey to all officers. Officers will list their choices from most to least preferred shift.
Shift assignments will be made by seniority unless it is determined by the Chief that there is an
unbalanced mix of experience and/or necessary specialized positions on a particular shift. The
officers shall have the opportunity to resolve such problems on their own and if not, the chief
shall have the right to modify such bidding procedure. Remaining shift positions will be assigned
by taking into consideration officers' seniority, department needs and the overall effective and
efficient operation of the Department.
Officers with less than twenty-four (24) months of continuous service at the time of selection and
shift assignment, are ineligible to bid for shift positions, unless mutually agreed upon by the
Department and the Union. The Deputy Chief of Operations will assign such officers into a
8
rotating position that will be reflected on the annual schedule.
The rotation of officers with less than twenty-four (24) months of continuous service may
necessitate the movement of non -probationary personnel. That movement shall be based on
seniority.
Officers taking permanent positions will either have to remain in the position they selected for
the entire time period, or find a volunteer (based on reverse seniority) to take the position,
subject to approval by the Chief; based on department needs and the overall effective and
efficient operation of the department.
If a permanent position becomes available after the selection process has been completed, the
selection for the vacancy will be made by seniority, based on the previous shift preference
survey. The selection may result in the movement of other personnel.
Officers returning to Patrol from a specialty position (Investigations, Youth, DARE and MEG)
will be placed on a shift by the Deputy Chief of Operations until the next annual shift bid.
ARTICLE 11.OVERTIME PAY
Section 11.1. Court Proceedings. During the term of this Agreement, any officer who is required
to be present at any court proceeding as a result of his/her official duties performed on the behalf
of Deerfield (criminal or civil), during his/her off -duty hours, shall be paid a minimum of three
(3) hours pay for such court attendance at time and one-half. Officers appearing in court in both
the morning and afternoon of the same day are eligible for the minimum three hours
