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 productivity; to maintain the highest standards of personal integrity and conduct at all times; and to provide procedures for the prompt and peaceful adjustment of grievances as provided herein. NOW, THEREFORE, the parties agree as follows: ARTICLE 1 RECOGNITION AND REPRESENTATION The Village recognizes the Union as the sole and exclusive bargaining representative for all swom full-time Peace Officers (hereinafter referred to as "Officers" or "employees "), but excluding all swom Peace Officers in the rank of sergeant and above, any employees excluded from the definition of "Peace Officer" as defined in Section 3(k) of the Illinois Public Labor Relations Act; supervisory, managerial or confidential employees as defined by the Act; and all persons excluded from coverage under the Act. ARTICLE 2 NON - DISCRIMINATION Section 2.1 Generally. In accordance with applicable law, neither the Village nor the Union shall discriminate against any employee covered by this Agreement because of race, sex, age, religion, creed, color or national origin. Any dispute concerning the interpretation and application of this paragraph shall be processed through the appropriate federal or state agency or court rather than through the grievance procedure set forth in this Agreement. Section 2.2 Americans with Disabilities Act. In accordance with applicable law, both the Village and the Union agree to abide by the requirements of the Americans with Disabilities Act. Any dispute concerning the interpretation and application of this paragraph shall be processed through the appropriate federal or state agency or court rather than through the grievance procedure set forth in this Agreement. 1 ARTICLE 3 Section 3.1 Dues Check off. During the term of this Agreement the Village will deduct from each employee's first paycheck each month the regular Union dues for each employee in the bargaining unit who has filed with the Village a lawfully written authorization form, and will promptly forward same to the Union. The Union agrees to give the Village at least thirty (30) days' notice in writing of any change in the amount of the regular dues to be deducted. The Union further agrees that it will not submit such written notification of a change in the amount of the regular dues to be deducted more than once within any twelve (12) month period of time. The Union agrees to refund to the employee any amounts paid to the Union in error on account of this dues deduction provision. Section 3.2 Fair Share. During the term of this Agreement, bargaining unit employees who are not members of the Union shall, commencing sixty (60) days after the effective date of this Agreement or sixty (60) days after their employment, whichever is later, pay as a condition of employment a fair share fee to the Union for collective bargaining and contract administration services rendered by the Union as the exclusive representative of the employees covered by this Agreement, provided that the fair share fee shall not exceed the dues attributable to being a member of the Union. Such fair share fees shall be deducted by the Village from the earnings of non - members and remitted to the Union in the same manner and intervals as Union dues are deducted. The Union shall periodically submit to the Village a list of employees covered by this Agreement who are not members of the Union and an affidavit which specifies the amount of the fair share fee. The amount of the fair share fee shall not include any contributions related to the election of or support of any candidate for political office or for any member only benefit. The foregoing fair share fee obligation shall not apply to any employee in the bargaining unit as of the date of ratification of the 1993 -96 collective bargaining agreement between the parties who is not a member of the Union on that date. The requirement to pay a fair share fee shall be applicable to any employee who is employed in a bargaining unit position after the date on which this Agreement is ratified by both parties and who either fails to join the Union and authorize dues deduction within the sixty (60) day period, or who is a member of the Union on or after the date on which this Agreement is ratified by both parties and who thereafter withdraws from such membership and revokes authorization for dues deduction. The Union agrees to assume full responsibility to insure full compliance with the requirements laid down by the United States Supreme Court. It is specifically agreed that any dispute concerning the amount of the fair share fee and/or the responsibilities of the Union with respect to fair share fee payers as set forth above shall not be subject to the grievance and arbitration procedure set forth in this Agreement. 2 Non - members who object to this fair share fee based upon bona fide religious tenets or teachings shall pay an amount equal to such fair share fee to a non - religious charitable organization mutually agreed upon by the employee and the Union. If the affected non - member and the Union are unable to reach agreement on the organization, the organization shall be selected by the affected non - member from an approved list of charitable organizations established by the Illinois State Labor Relations Board and the payment shall be made to said organization. Section 3.3 Indemnification. The Union shall indemnify and hold harmless the Village, its elected representatives, Officers, administrators, agents and employees from and against any and all claims, demands, actions, complaints, suits or other forms of liability (monetary or otherwise) as a result of the Village's action in deducting regular monthly dues and fair share fees and forwarding same to the Union in accordance with the provisions of Sections 3.1 and 3.2 above or in reliance on any authorization forms furnished by the Union under any of such provisions. Section 3.4 Union Use of Bulletin Board. The Village will make available space on the bulletin board located on the lower level at the base of the stairs for the posting of official Union notices of a non - political, non - controversial nature, but only after such notices have been submitted to and approved by the Police Chief or designee for posting. Such approval shall be noted on the posting, along with the date it was approved and the period of time that the notice will be posted. Except as provided in this Section, there shall be no distribution or posting of Union materials of any kind on Village property. Section 3.5 Access to Village Premises. Duly authorized Union business representatives will be permitted access at reasonable times to the premises of the Village for the purpose of handling grievances or otherwise representing employees pursuant to the provisions of this Agreement. These business representatives will be identified to the Police Chief or designee in a manner suitable to the Village and on each occasion will first secure the prior approval of the Police Chief or designee to enter and conduct their business so as not to interfere with Village operations. If such approval is granted, the Police Chief or designee shall designate the area where such business is to be conducted and the period of time to be provided. The Union will not abuse this privilege, and such right of entry shall at all times be subject to general department rules applicable to non - employees. Section 3.6 Union Stewards. The Village recognizes the right of the Union to select a Chief Union Steward and alternate(s) and the Union agrees to furnish the Village in writing within two (2) weeks of ratification of this Agreement with the names of the Chief Union Steward and any alternate(s) selected by the Union. The Chief Union Steward shall be deemed the Union's official spokesperson. Union stewards are not permitted to conduct Union business during work hours without the permission of the Police Chief or designee. 3 ARTICLE 4 LABOR - MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE At the request of either parry, the Union Steward and the Police Chief or their designees shall meet at least quarterly to discuss matters of mutual concern that do not involve negotiations. The Union Steward may invite other bargaining unit members (not to exceed two) to attend such meetings. The Police Chief may invite other Village representatives (not to exceed two) to attend such meetings. The party requesting the meeting shall submit a written agenda of the items it wishes to discuss at least seven (7) days prior to the date of the meeting. Employees scheduled to work will notify the Police Chief prior to their attendance at a meeting and if such attendance is approved, the employee will be permitted to attend the meeting during his regular hours of work with no loss of pay. A Labor - Management Committee meeting shall not be used for the purpose of discussing any matter that is being processed pursuant to the grievance procedure set forth in this Agreement or for the purpose of seeking to negotiate changes or additions to this Agreement. ARTICLE 5 GRIEVANCE PROCEDURE Section 5.1 Defmition. A "grievance" is defined as any dispute or difference of opinion, including any discipline up to and including termination raised by an employee (or the Union as provided below) against the Village with respect to the meaning, interpretation or application of a specific provision or provisions of this Agreement. The Union may only file a grievance if the same facts give rise to a grievance involving two (2) or more employees. Section 5.2 Procedure. The parties acknowledge that it is usually most desirable for an employee and his 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 employee who has a grievance shall submit the grievance in writing to the employee's (in most cases, the Sergeant in charge) immediate supervisor and the appropriate Division Commander. The grievance shall contain a brief statement of the facts, the provision or provisions of this Agreement which are alleged to be involved in the dispute or difference, and the relief requested. All grievances must be presented no later than fourteen (14) calendar days from the date of the occurrence of the matter giving rise to the grievance or within fourteen (14) calendar days after the employee was provided with information, or obtained knowledge, of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the grievance. The immediate supervisor or the appropriate Division Commander shall render a written response to the grievant and the Union Steward within ten (10) business days after the grievance is presented. M 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 Police Chief within five (5) business days after receipt of the Village's answer at Step 1. The Police Chief, or designee, shall investigate the grievance and, in the course of such investigation, shall offer to discuss the grievance within ten (10) business days with the grievant, together with the Union Steward and, if the Union so desires, the Union business representative at a time mutually agreeable to the parties. If no settlement of the grievance is reached, the Police Chief, or designee, shall provide a written answer to the grievant and the Union within ten (10) business days following their meeting. STEP 3: If the grievance is not settled at Step 2 and the Union desires to appeal, it shall so notify the Village Manager in writing within ten (10) calendar days after receipt of the answer of the Police Chief or designee at Step 2. Thereafter, the Village Manager or designee and the Police Chief or other appropriate individual(s) as desired by the Village Manager (not to exceed three) shall meet with the grievant and a Union business representative and other appropriate individuals as desired by the Union business representative (not to exceed three) within fifteen (15) business days of receipt of the Union's appeal. If no agreement is reached, the Village Manager or designee shall submit a written answer to the grievant and Union within ten (10) business days following the meeting. Section 5.3 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 2. Any grievance filed involving suspension or termination shall be initiated at Step 3. Section 5.4 Arbitration. If the grievance is not settled in Step 3 and the Union wishes to appeal the grievance from Step 3 of the grievance procedure, the Union only may refer the grievance to arbitration, as described below, within twenty-one (21) calendar days of receipt of the Village's written answer as provided to the Union at Step 3: (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 (already signed by the Union) to FMCS or return same to the Union fully signed within ten (10) calendar days after same was received by the Village representative, the Union may file a request that is consistent with the provisions of this subsection with FMCS signed only by it with Notice to the Village. The parties agree to request the FMCS to limit the panel to members of the National Academy of Arbitrators who reside within a radius of 175 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 W 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 shall continue until one name remains. The person remaining shall be the arbitrator. The person remaining shall be the arbitrator. A coin flip will determine who strikes first with the loser of the coin toss striking first. (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 and witnesses. 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 5.5 shall be final and binding upon the Village, the Union and the employees covered by this Agreement.

Nothing herein shall be construed as a guarantee of hours of work per day, per week, or per work cycle, and nothing herein shall preclude the Village from restructuring the normal work day, work week or work cycle. It is the Village's intent that such changes will be implemented based upon the valid and legitimate operation needs of the Department. Section 8.2 Work Schedules. The Village shall post work schedules showing the shifts, work days and work hours to which bargaining unit members are assigned. In the event that it becomes necessary to temporarily change the normal work day, workweek or work cycle of an employee, the affected employee(s) will be afforded at least seventy -two (72) hours notice of the change, except in emergencies. There will be no more than two (2) changes per Officer per work cycle, except in emergencies. Section 8.3 Normal Work Day. a) For Officers assigned to one (1) of the four (4) regular patrol shifts, the normal work day shall consist of twelve and one quarter (12.25) consecutive hours of work, including two (2) paid fifteen (15) minute break periods, unless changed in 10 accordance with Section 8.2 or unless otherwise necessary to carry out the mission of the Employer or in the event of civil emergency, riots, civil disorders, tornado conditions, floods, etc. as may be declared by the Village President, the Village Manager, Chief of Police or their authorized designees. The current starting times are 5:45 a.m. and 5:45 p.m. Fifteen (15) minutes of the forty -five (45) minute lunch period will be unpaid to accommodate the Roll Call/Shift Briefing Period. However, Officers will be considered on duty and available for call for the entire work period without benefit of additional compensation should they be called for service. The Chief of Police, at his discretion, may also designate a power shift, with the hours and days scheduled subject to modification by the Chief of Police. b) For Officers not assigned to one (1) of the four (4) regular patrol shifts, (detective, D.A.R.E. Officer, crime prevention Officer, etc.), the normal work day shall consist of eight point four (8.4) or ten point five (10.5) consecutive hours of work as designated by the Chief of Police, unless changed in accordance with Section 8.2. Section 8.4 Normal Work Cycle. a) The Oak Brook Police Department hereby elects a work period of fourteen (14) days, beginning on Sunday and ending Saturday, under the provisions provided in Section 207(x) of the Fair Labor Standards Act. The normal work period shall consist of eighty-four (84) hours of work within the fourteen (14) day work period. The Village will not alter or adjust the normal work day or work period solely for the purpose of avoiding overtime payments or to limit individual employee's opportunity to work overtime. In cases of illness, injury or other emergency reasonably anticipated to last for more than fourteen (14) days, the Village may take reasonable steps to adjust normal work days or workweeks for one (1) or more employees in order to maintain its level of service to the community without necessarily requiring the use of overtime. b) Assignment to Investigations and Support Services Section: Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is recognized that the normal work day of an employee assigned to the Investigation or Support Services Section will necessarily vary depending on the needs of the Department and that, from time to time, it will be necessary to make changes in the employee's normal work day or work week without the need for prior notice to the Union. C) The Village and the Union agree and understand that any change to the definition of "normal work day" as defined in this Article will also require collective bargaining over the definition of "normal work cycle." Section 8.5 Overtime Compensation. Upon ratification and approval of this Agreement, all hours paid in excess of the normal eighty- four (84) hours within the work period shall be compensated at the overtime rate of one and one- half (1.5) times the employee's regular straight time hourly rate of pay for each overtime hour worked in excess of eighty four (84) hours in a fourteen (14) day work period. Overtime pay 11 shall be earned in fifteen (15) minute increments as provided by the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA). All overtime shall be paid on the basis of the regular straight time hourly rate calculated by dividing the employee's annual salary by 2,184 hours. Section 8.6 Overtime Assignments. The Chief of Police or designee(s) shall have the right to require overtime work. Officers may not refuse overtime work. An overtime list will be maintained for each patrol team, which will be utilized to assign off duty personnel (on days off) to cover shortages created by sick call or mandatory- posted overtime that has not been filled. The off duty team assigned to the affected hours will be required to fill the actual hours in which the shift does not meet minimum manpower requirements. If any employee establishes that he has not been offered his appropriate share of overtime opportunities, such employee shall have first preference to future overtime opportunities until reasonable balance is recreated. Section 8.7 Employee Training Hours /Compensation. Employees who are required to attend training outside of the Village of Oak Brook shall be compensated on a day- for -day basis for single eight (8) hour, full -day, classes. (Ex: An employee scheduled to work a twelve (12) hour day shall be considered compensated for twelve (12) hours of pay and mileage, whether the training lasts twelve (12) hours or less). For multi-day classes, work hours will be arranged to allow maximum usage of any scheduled work hours prior to incurring overtime. (Ex: an employee is scheduled to work two (2) twelve hour shifts during a scheduled three (3) eight (8) hour per day training seminar. No overtime would be incurred as both the scheduled shifts and the training times would equal twenty -four (24) hours.) Employees who are required to attend training inside the Village of Oak Brook shall be required to account for the twelve (12) hours duty time. Should any training class in Oak Brook end early, the employee(s) shall report to the on duty watch commander and be assigned work as necessary to offset for the total shortfall. (Work may consist of further training opportunities within the Village, travel to and from the training, or other work as needed within their job assignment). Employees may use earned time off to make up any shortfall with the pre - approval of their supervisor or the approval of the on duty watch commander. To assist the Department to facilitate training, an employee's days off may be changed to accommodate the training scheduled including up to three (3) all department training days. Section 8.8 Court Time. Employees who are required to make a court appearance outside their normal hours of work (i.e., hours not contiguous to their normal shift or on a day not regularly scheduled) shall be paid either four hours' pay at straight -time or one and one -half (1.5) times for all hours actually spent making a court appearance, whichever is more. Court time that is contiguous to an employee's normal shift hours shall be compensated at the appropriate hourly rate of pay. Employees who are required to be "on call" for court appearances outside their normal hours of work (i.e., hours not contiguous to their normal shift or on a day not regularly scheduled) shall have the option of being paid two (2) hours of pay at straight time hourly rate of pay or receiving two (2) hours of compensatory time for each such day they are required to be "on call." 12 Section 8.9 Compensatory Time. a) At the time overtime is posted, the Police Chief may specify that such posted overtime will only be paid and that an employee who works the overtime may not select compensatory time in lieu of overtime pay. For all other hours worked beyond normally scheduled hours of work, including un- posted overtime and any ordered overtime hours, an employee may elect to either receive compensatory time or overtime pay. The compensatory time rate will be calculated the same as overtime as described in Section 8.5 of this Agreement. Employees may accumulate to a maximum of eighty -four (84) hours of compensatory time that may be replenished throughout the year prior to being subject to the provisions in subsection b below. Compensatory time off shall be granted at the Employee's request within a reasonable time period that does not unduly disrupt the operations of the Village. b) Accumulated compensatory time in excess of thirty -six (36) hours that is not taken by December 1, shall be paid to the affected employee at their regular of rate of pay, unless it is prescheduled and approved to be taken between December 1 and December 31, or the Village Manager has approved a request of the Employee to carry it over. Compensatory time payments shall be dispersed on a regularly scheduled payroll no later than the last payroll of the year. Section 8.10 Call -In Pay. An employee who is called back to work outside his normal hours of work (i.e., hours not contiguous to his normal shift), will be paid at one and one -half (1.5) times his regular straight -time hourly rate of pay for all hours worked outside his normal hours of work, with a minimum of two (2) hours pay at one and one -half (1.5) times. This Section shall not be applicable to scheduled overtime. Section 8.11 Shift Bid. The assignment of Officers assigned to the Patrol Division shall be subject to the following: Each of the shifts shall consist of permanent (as opposed to rotating) annual assignments. 2. The selection of permanent annual assignments on either of the main shifts (Days or Nights shall be based on seniority subject to the provisions of this Section 8.11. 3. The Department may require that Employee assigned to each shift complete the full year on that shift. However, exceptions may be granted for extenuating circumstances. 4. At the same time that Officers bid for permanent shifts, they may also bid for any departmental identified "power shift" for the following year. Assignments to the "power shift" will be solicited to Employee on a volunteer basis and assigned by the Chief of Police. If the power shift is terminated at the discretion of the Chief 13 of Police, Officers will be re- assigned to fill the manpower needs of the Department. Such placement will not displace any previous Officer's bid for that calendar year. 5. For vacancies that develop mid -year, the Chief of Police will consider qualified Employee who volunteer for such assignments. However, the method of replacement for those positions will be determined exclusively by the Chief of Police. 6. Officers who are serving as detectives who are returned to the Patrol Division shall be assigned to the shift of the Officer who has received the detective assignment and will remain on that shift until the next time shifts are bid as provided above. When the Department knows prior to the bid process that a Detective will be returned to the Patrol Division, the Officer shall be eligible to participate in the annual bid process scheduled immediately prior to the year in which such return shall occur. If an Employee has been selected to move from the Patrol Division to Detective status prior to a shift selection bid, such Employee shall not bid a shift selection during the annual bid process scheduled immediately prior to the year in which such change in status will occur. 7. The Chief of Police will determine the shift assignments of probationary Officers. 8. Notwithstanding Section 8.2, the Police Chief shall have the right to transfer employees who have been permanently assigned to a shift under this Section in order to meet the bona fide operational needs of the Department to achieve a reasonable balance of experience on each shift, or to ensure the presence of necessary specialty training on each shift (e.g., doss of an employee filling a specialty position, retirement, injury or other long -term leave, changes necessitated due to personnel problems adversely affecting operations, etc.). Employees will be given fourteen (14) days notice of a permanent schedule change, unless the change is to fill an emergency need. When a position is to be filled to meet the Department's bona fide operational needs or to insure the presence of necessary specialty skills of each shift, such position shall normally be filled first by a qualified Employee who volunteers, or if no qualified Employee volunteers, then by the least senior Officer who is qualified to meet the Departmental need. If more than one qualified Employee volunteers, the Employee will be selected by the Chief of Police. Employees shall be given as much notice as practicable of such transfers. If the reason for the transfer no longer exists and it would not adversely affect operations, the Officer shall be given the right to return to the shift originally bid. 9. The selection of permanent annual assignments on each of shifts shall be implemented and evaluated as follows: 14 a. Prior to November 1, the Police Chief or designee shall post all scheduled shift positions in the Patrol Division. Whether a posted shift position is filled shall be determined by the Police Chief. b. Between November 1 and November 15, all non - probationary Officers shall . submit written bids, for a permanent shift commencing on the first shift change date in the following January and extending through the first shift change date twelve months thereafter. Shifts will be awarded on the basis of seniority. Only Officers on full `unrestricted duty" may participate in the shift bid process. Any Officer that is not eligible to bid for a shift will be assigned to a shift at the conclusion of the bid process. In the event multiple shift vacancies exist, Officers that were not eligible to bid for a shift will select a shift vacancy based on seniority at the conclusion of the bid process. c. Officers failing to exercise their seniority to select a permanent shift shall be assigned by the Chief of Police to any unfilled vacant shifts. Section 8.12 Canine Officer.

If the employee does not supply such statement/documentation within a reasonable time after being requested or if the 16 statement/documentation is not deemed satisfactory and not remedied within a reasonable time thereafter, the request for sick leave shall be denied and the time off shall be without pay. It is specifically agreed that the Village retains the right to audit, monitor, and/or investigate sick leave usage.

ARTICLE 14 DRUG AND ALCOHOL TESTING Section 14.1 General Policy Regarding Drugs and Alcohol. The use of illegal drugs and the abuse of legal drugs and alcohol by members of the Police Department present unacceptable risks to the safety and well-being of other employees and the public, invite accidents and injuries, and reduce productivity. In addition, such conduct violates the reasonable expectations of the public that the employees who serve and protect them obey the law and be fit and free from the effects of drug and alcohol abuse. 29 In the interest of employing persons who are fit and capable of performing their jobs, and for the safety and well-being of employees and residents, the Village and the Union agree to establish a program that will allow the Village to take the necessary steps, including drug and/or alcohol testing, to implement a general policy regarding drugs and alcohol. Section 14.2 Definitions. A. "Drugs" shall mean any controlled substance listed in Chapter 56 -1/2 of the Illinois Revised Statutes, known as the Controlled Substances Act, for which the person tested does not submit a valid pre -dated prescription. In addition, it includes "designer drugs" which may not be listed in the Controlled Substances Act but which have adverse effects on perception, judgment, memory or coordination. Among the drugs covered by this policy are the following: Opium Methaqualone Psilocybin - psilocin Morphine Tranquilizers MDA Codeine Cocaine PCP Heroin Amphetamines Chloral Hydrate Meperidine Phenmetrazine Methylphenidate Marijuana LSD Hash Barbiturates Mescaline Hash Oil Glutethimide Steroids B. The term "drug abuse" includes the use of any controlled substance which has not been legally prescribed and/or dispensed, or the abuse of a legally prescribed drug which results in impairment while on duty. C. "Impairment" due to drugs or alcohol shall mean a condition in which the employee's ability to properly perform his duties due to the effects of drugs or alcohol in his body is diminished. When an employee tests positive for drugs or alcohol, impairment is presumed. Section 14.3 Prohibitions. Police Officers shall be prohibited from: 1. Consuming or possessing alcohol or illegal drugs at any time during the work day, unless pursuant to official assignment. Using, selling, purchasing or delivering any illegal drug at any time unless pursuant to official assignment. Being impaired due to the use of alcohol, legal drugs or proscribed drugs during the course of the work day. 4. Failing to report to their supervisor any known adverse side effects of medication or prescription drugs which they are taking. 30 5. Failure to report the use, possession or sale of illegal drugs by other members of the Department to the employee. Violations of these prohibitions will result in disciplinary action up to and including discharge. Section 14.4 The Administration of Tests. A. Informing Employees Regarding Drug Testing. All current employees will be given a copy of this Drug & Alcohol Testing provisions upon execution of the agreement between the parties. All newly hired employees will be provided with a copy at the start of their employment. B. Pre - Employment Screening Nothing in this policy shall limit or prohibit the Village from requiring applicants for bargaining unit positions to submit to blood and/or urine specimens to be screened for the presence of drugs and/or alcohol prior to employment. C. When a Test May Be Compelled. There shall be no random, across - the - board, or routine drug testing of employees except as otherwise expressly agreed to in writing by the parties. Where there is reasonable suspicion to believe that an employee is either impaired due to being under the influence of drugs or alcohol while on duty or has violated the prohibitions specified in Section 14.3, that employee may be required to report for drug/alcohol testing. At the time the employee is ordered to submit to testing, the Village shall notify the Union representative on duty and if none is on duty, the Village shall make a reasonable effort to contact an off -duty Union representative. Refusal of an employee to comply with the order for a drug/alcohol screening will be considered as a refusal of a direct order and will be cause for disciplinary action up to and including discharge. It is understood that drug or alcohol tests may be required at least under the following conditions: When an employee has been arrested or indicted for conduct involving illegal drug related activity on or off duty; 2. When an employee is involved in an on-the-job injury causing reasonable suspicion of illegal drug use or alcohol abuse; 3. When an employee is involved in an on -duty accident involving a reportable injury to a police Officer or another party or damage to police department equipment or to another party of at least $1,000; 4. When an employee commits a serious rules violation in connection with a work assignment; 31 5. Where an employee has experienced excessive absenteeism or tardiness under circumstances giving rise to a suspicion of off -duty drug or alcohol abuse. The above examples do not provide an exclusive list of circumstances which may give rise to testing. In addition, other circumstances may give rise to testing provided they conform to the reasonable suspicion standard. The reasonable suspicion standard for this purpose exists if the facts and circumstances warrant a rational inference that a person is either impaired by alcohol or controlled substances or has violated the prohibitions contained in Section 14.3. Reasonable suspicion will be based upon the following: 1. Observable phenomena, such as direct observation of use and/or the physical symptoms of impairment by use of alcohol or use of controlled substances; 2. Information provided by an identifiable third party which is independently corroborated, or is from a source which is credible based on providing previous corroborated tips or information. D. Order to Submit to Testing. At the time an employee is ordered to submit to testing authorized by this Agreement, the Village shall provide the employee with the reasons for the order. A written notice setting forth objective facts which formed the basis of the order to test will be provided in a reasonable time period following the order. The employee shall be permitted to consult with a representative of the Union at the time the order is given, provided that such a representative is available within a thirty (30) minute time period and the consultation is concluded within forty-five (45) minutes from the time the order is given. A refusal to submit to such testing may subject the employee to discipline, but the employee's taking of the test shall not be construed as a waiver of any objection or rights that he /she may have. When testing is ordered, the employee will be removed from duty and placed on leave with pay pending the receipt of results. Section 14.5 Conduct of Tests. The Village may use breathalyzer tests for alcohol testing. In conducting the testing authorized by this Agreement (other than by use of a breathalyzer, with respect to which only item h., below, shall apply), the Village shall: (a) Use only a clinical laboratory or hospital facility that is licensed pursuant to the Illinois Clinical Laboratory Act that has been accredited by the National Institute or Drug Abuse (NIDA). (b) Use of tamper proof containers, have a chain -of- custody procedure, maintain confidentiality, and preserve specimens for a minimum of twelve (12) months. (c) Collect a sufficient sample of the same bodily fluid or material from a police Officer to allow for initial screening, a confirmatory test and a sufficient amount to be set aside reserved for later testing if requested by the employee. 32 (d) Confirm any sample that tests positive in the initial screening of drugs by testing the second portion of the same sample by gas chromatography, plus mass spectrometry or an equivalent or better scientifically accurate and accepted method that provides quantitative data about the detected drug or drug metabolites. (e) Provide the employee tested with an opportunity to have the additional sample tested by a clinical laboratory or hospital facility of the employee's own choosing, at the employee's own expense, provided the employee notifies the Human Resources Director in writing within seventy -two (72) hours of receiving the results of the tests of the employee's desire to utilize another laboratory or hospital facility. (f) Require that with regard to alcohol testing, for the purpose of determining whether the employee is under the influence of alcohol, test results that show an alcohol concentration of .04 or more based upon the grams of alcohol per one hundred (100) milliliters of blood be considered conclusively positive. (g) Provide each employee tested with a copy of all information and reports received by the Village in connection with the testing and the results. (h) Insure that no employee is subject to any adverse employment action except temporary reassignment with pay or relief from duty with pay during the pendency of any testing procedure. Any such reassignment or relief from duty shall be immediately discontinued in the event of a negative test result, and all records of the testing procedure will be expunged from the employee's personnel files. (i) Require that the laboratory or hospital facility report to the Village that a blood or urine sample is positive only if both the initial and confirmatory test are positive for a particular drug. The parties agree that should any information concerning such testing or the results thereof be obtained by the Village inconsistent with the understanding expressed herein, the Village shall not use such information in any manner or forum adverse to the employee's interests. (j) Engage the services of a medical expert experienced in drug testing to design an appropriate questionnaire to be filled out by an employee being tested to provide information of food or medicine or other substance eaten or taken by or administered to the employee which may affect the test results and to interview the employee in the event of positive test results to determine if there is any innocent explanation for the positive reading. Section 14.6 Cutoff Levels. The initial test cutoff levels shall be in accordance with the then applicable cutoff levels established by the Department of Health and Human Services. All specimens identified as positive on the initial screening test shall be confirmed using BC/MC techniques (or 33 scientifically equivalent or better techniques) at the cutoff levels in accordance with the then applicable cutoff levels established by the Department of Health and Human Services. Section 14.7 Right to Contest. The Union and/or the employee, with or without the Union, shall have the right to file a grievance concerning any testing permitted by this Agreement. Section 14.8 Voluntary Reauests for Assistance. The Village shall make available a means by which the employee may obtain referrals and treatment.

Section 15.11 Restricted Duty. The Village may require an employee who is on sick leave or Worker's Compensation leave (as opposed to disability pension) to return to work in an available restricted duty assignment that the employee is qualified to perform, provided the Village's physician has determined that the employee is physically able to perform the restricted duty assignment in question without significant risk that such return to work will aggravate any pre - existing injury and that there is a reasonable expectation that the employee will be able to assume full duties and responsibilities within three (3) months.
