to it or if the City exercises a management right reserved to it a particular way, such conduct shall
not be deemed a waiver of its right to begin exercising such a right in the future or to exercise such

be credited with seniority to their first day of employment in the bargaining unit immediately upon
completion of probation.

accrue seniority unless and until their seniority is broken. Seniority will be broken and the

Woodburn and Woodburn Police Assn. Page 4
CBA Effective 2022-2024
C. Adjustments in Seniority Dates
Employee seniority dates will be adjusted in the following circumstances:
1. Promotions to Positions outside the Bargaining Unit
Employees who are promoted to positions within the Police Department that are
excluded from the bargaining unit, but are returned to bargaining unit positions by
the City return with the seniority they would have accrued had they remained in the
bargaining unit.
2. Leaves of Absence
Employees who are absent from work on a leave of absence will continue to accrue
seniority,provided they are drawing pay (e.g. vacation, holiday or sick leave) and
for up to thirty (30) days following depletion of their paid leave banks. Thereafter,
seniority will no longer accrue. This provision will not be applied to employees
who are designated as being on FMLA, OFLA, military or jury duty leave.
3. Promotion to Police Officer Classification
If an employee in the community service officer classification is promoted to a
police officer position, the employee shall be subject to the standard police officer
probationary period. The transferring employee shall maintain his/her seniority
within the community service officer classification should the employee seek to
bump back from the police officer classification to the community service officer
classification during the police officer probationary period so long as the employee
continues to meet the minimum qualification for the community service officer
position.
D. Application of Seniority
Seniority shall apply to the following employment decisions:
1. Layoff: In the event of a layoff for any reason,bargaining unit employees shall be
laid off as follows: First,probationary employees shall be laid off. If there are no
probationary employees and/or the layoff of regular employees becomes necessary,
such layoffs shall be in the order of lowest seniority first as defined in A and C
above.
2. Recall: Regular employees shall be called back from layoff in inverse order of
layoff. Recall notices shall specify a minimum of ten (10) days from the date of
mailing for the employee to return to work. The City may, however, specify a later
reporting date.
Employees who wish to waive re-employment rights may do so by written
notification to the City.
Woodburn and Woodburn Police Assn. Page 5
CBA Effective 2022-2024
3. Shift Scheduling: Employees are entitled to use their seniority to bid for shift
preferences in accordance with Article 11, Section G.

vacation time off in accordance with Article 14, Section B.
E. General Provisions
1. Seniority Lists: The City shall provide the Association with a seniority list upon
request.
2. Reinstatement of Seniority: If an employee is discharged, grieves the discharge at
arbitration or civil court, prevails and is reinstated, he/she shall receive seniority
credit for the period from discharge to reinstatement. Also, employees returning
from layoff or leave of absence which does not result in a break in seniority as set
forth in Section B, above shall have all previously accrued seniority reinstated
and/or adjusted in accordance with Sections B and C, above.
3. Restoration and Accrual of Benefits: Employees returning from layoff or leave of
absence that does not result in a break in seniority as set forth in Section B, above
shall have all previously accrued unused sick leave, holiday and vacation benefits
restored, but shall not accrue benefits for the period of the layoff or leave of
absence, except for continuation of health insurance premiums as required by
applicable law. In the event an employee suffers a break in seniority before drawing
all accrued sick leave, holiday and vacation benefits, any unused holiday and
vacation benefits will be paid to the employee at the time his/her seniority is broken
and employment is severed, consistent with applicable law.
ARTICLE 9 - OUTSIDE EMPLOYMENT
Employees wishing to engage in off-duty employment with another employer must obtain
approval from the Chief by submission of a request in writing for such approval. Likewise,
employees wishing to make a material change in the nature or hours of outside employment
currently approved by the City must obtain approval by submission of a written request for such
approval. Such written requests shall specify the name of the prospective employer, the job title
of the position, a description of the nature of the work to be performed. Upon receipt of such
request, the City shall have the right to contact the prospective employer to independently
determine the nature of the employment being considered. The City shall normally approve or
deny a request for outside employment within seven (7)business days of its receipt.
The Chief may deny a request for approval of outside employment if there is a conflict of interest
or the nature or hours of work required for such employment would interfere with the ability of
the employee to perform required duties, including duties required to be performed outside the
employee's regular working hours. For purposes of this Article, a conflict of interest shall include
any circumstance where the employee's or overall department effectiveness would or might be
Woodburn and Woodburn Police Assn. Page 6
CBA Effective 2022-2024
impaired as a result of the public's knowledge of the nature of the outside employment or where
such employment presents legal or other conflicts of interest which could or might interfere with
the employee's effectiveness as a law enforcement officer. When permission to engage in outside
employment is granted, it shall not be construed to in any manner compromise the employee's
obligation to the City to be available for overtime, call-out, and shift change on the same basis as
other employees who work in the same classification. In addition, the employee shall schedule
the outside employment in such a manner so as to have at least eight(8) hours off for rest prior to
the start of each regularly scheduled City shift.
ARTICLE 10—WORKING OUT OF CLASSIFICATION,ACTING IN CAPACITY,AND
CORPORAL POSITION
A. Working out of classification: An employee is working out of classification when the
employee is assigned to fulfill the duties and responsibilities of a classification higher than the
classification the employee currently holds. An employee working out of classification shall
receive a five percent(5%)pay increase to base pay for all hours worked in such assignment.
If neither a Corporal nor a Sergeant is physically on-duty for any part of a patrol shift, an Officer
will be assigned to the duties of a Corporal on that patrol shift and shall receive a five percent(5%)
pay increase to base pay for all hours worked out of class as a Corporal. The supervisor will be
responsible for making the assignment. If an Officer is not assigned, the most senior Officer will
assume the duties of Corporal during the shift.
B. Actin_ in n Capacity: An employee is acting in capacity when the Chief of Police assigns
the duties of a higher classification on a full time continuous basis. Acting in capacity
assignments are typically used when a position is vacant and the assignment will last longer than
two (2)weeks. Acting in capacity assignments are temporary and not intended to be permanent.
An employee formally designated as acting in capacity shall be paid for the duration of the
assignment at their regular rate of pay plus five percent(5%), or at the Step 1 of the higher
classification, whichever is greater. In no case shall the compensation exceed the top step of the
higher paid classification.
C. Corporal Position:
1. An employee selected by the City for the position of Corporal shall be paid an
additional amount equal to five percent(5%) of his/her base pay for each month or
part thereof that the employee holds the position of Corporal.
2. Employees holding the position of Corporal shall function as supervisor in the
absence of the Sergeant.
3. The Corporal position shall remain part of the bargaining unit represented by the
Woodburn Police Association, and the City specifically agrees that the duties
Woodburn and Woodburn Police Assn. Page 7
CBA Effective 2022-2024
assigned or performed by Corporals shall not make Corporals supervisors as
defined by the Public Employees Collective Bargaining Act.
4. The term in which an employee successfully performs the duties of Corporal will
be for a period of two years. After the two year period, the incumbent Corporal
may re-apply for consideration; the City will also consider new applicants.
5. The Corporal position will only be open to incumbent Corporals and new
applicants who have completed probation and have at least two years of
experience as a Woodburn Police Officer.
ARTICLE 11 -HOURS OF WORK
A. Workday: A day is defined as a twenty-four-hour (24-hour) period commencing with
the employee's scheduled shift. A regular workweek for sworn employees shall consist of either
eight(8) consecutive hours per day on a five-day schedule(5-8 schedule) or compressed schedule.
A compressed schedule shall be defined as any workweek which is not a 5-8 schedule. Whether
regular or compressed schedule, workdays shall be consecutive. All sworn employees shall be
assigned a work schedule that complies with the Fair Labor Standards Act(FLSA) requirements,
and as implemented at the sole discretion of the City of Woodburn.
When a twelve hour workday is implemented the parties agree to the adoption of a regular and
recurring 28 day work period (beginning January 1st of each year)pursuant to Section 7 (k) of the
Fair Labor Standards Act, 29 U.S.C. § 207 (k) and the implementation of a twelve (12) hour
workday. Under the existing patrol schedule as of the ratification of this contract, the Workday
and Workweek shall be amended to consist of a consecutive twelve (12) hour workday, and will
provide for a twelve (12) hour work schedule: This schedule shall consist of two (2) consecutive
twelve(12)hour work days followed by two(2)consecutive days off,three(3)consecutive twelve
(12) hour work days followed by two (2) consecutive days off, two (2) consecutive twelve (12)
hour work days followed by three (3) consecutive days off. Day Shift shall be 0600 to 1800
followed by Night Shift from 1800 to 0600.
The provisions of this section shall not apply during the week when a shift rotation occurs.
The City reserves the right to implement or discontinue a compressed workweek schedule and re-
establish a 5-8 work schedule as currently provided after providing fourteen (14) days written
notice, without any further need to bargain concerning the decision or the impacts of the decision
to do so.
All non-sworn employees shall be assigned a regular work schedule consisting of five (5)
consecutive eight-hour (8-hour) workdays with a one-hour (1-hour) unpaid lunch, generally
Monday through Friday, followed by two (2) consecutive days off. At the sole discretion of the
City of Woodburn, non-sworn employees may be assigned a regular work schedule consisting of
four(4) consecutive ten-hour(10-hour)workdays, with the same starting time for each day.
Woodburn and Woodburn Police Assn. Page 8

one (1) thirty (30) minute meal period per workday. Employees may combine their daily breaks
at their discretion, subject to operating needs. During the employee's break and meal period, the
employee shall remain on on-duty status and shall be subject to call-out in cases of immediate
need.
C. Detectives: Detectives will work a regular forty (40) hour week. Generally, the schedule
will be based on five (5) consecutive eight-hour (8-hour) workdays with a paid lunch, generally
Monday through Friday. Detectives will be allowed to work a 4/10 schedule at the Chief's option.
If a 4/10 schedule is implemented, the Chief may direct that a 10 hour work schedule be
discontinued at any time during the year. Detectives will be allowed to flex schedules for the
purposes of meeting daily needs for regular scheduled shifts with supervisory approval.
D. Workweek: A normal workweek shall consist of forty(40)hours of work during a seven-
day (7-day) calendar period commencing 0001 Sunday and ending midnight of the following
Saturday. When working a four-twelve(4-12)plan, a normal workweek shall consist of up to one
hundred seventy-one (171) hours worked in a twenty-eight(28) day work period. When working
an alternate twelve (12) hour shift, the normal workweek shall be as established by the given
schedule and in compliance with the FLSA. For employees assigned to work a four-twelve(4-12)
plan or an alternate twelve(12)hour plan on a regular basis,the City hereby adopts and establishes
a regular, recurring period of work which shall consist of twenty eight (28) days for the police
officers so assigned, in accordance with the Fair Labor Standards Act, Section 7(k). It is
understood, that in earlier negotiations for working 12's, the employees will receive additional
holiday pay as established in Article 13. (Note: Overtime training hours will be paid as per FLSA,
29 USC § 207 (k).
E. Shift Changes: The Department reserves the right to make shift change with seven (7)
calendar days advance notice. Shift changes, including changes due to mandatory training that
occur without seven(7)calendar day prior notification will be subj ect to the overtime requirements
of Article 12 for the hours worked or in training except for those hours worked, which overlap
with the regularly scheduled shift. If a shift change without seven (7) calendar days prior
notification is the result of another employee's use of sick leave,bereavement leave, administrative
leave, holiday leave taken as a result of a personal emergency,resignation with less than seven (7)
calendar days (actually worked) notice, or absence from work due to a workers' compensation
injury (except for scheduled medical appointments with sufficient notice given to the City), the
schedule change shall, for purposes of overtime payment, be treated as though seven (7) calendar
days prior notification had been given. Employees may voluntarily waive the seven (7) calendar
day notice requirement.
F. Safety Release: Any employee who works sixteen (16) or more hours in a twenty-four
(24) hour period shall receive no less than eight(8) hours off before returning to work. When an
employee who has worked sixteen (16) or more continuous hours and those hours have reached
Woodburn and Woodburn Police Assn. Page 9
CBA Effective 2022-2024
the employee's next regularly scheduled shift, the employee shall receive pay at his/her overtime
rate until the employee can be relieved of duty.
In the event that an employee is released from duty as a result of the Safety Release during
normally scheduled hours, the employee must make up those hours by utilizing holiday time,
vacation time or during non-scheduled hours at the employee's discretion and the provisions of
Article 12 and Article 11 Section D do not apply.
G. Shift Trades: Shift trades,which are voluntary between employees,will be allowed when
both employees submit written request twenty-four(24) hours in advance specifying the trade that
is to be made, subject to the following:
1. The request will be initiated by personal contact with a supervisor.
2. No employee will work two shifts without at least eight(8) hours off between said
shifts.
3. City operations and employee safety will not be adversely affected by the shift
trade. When a shift trade occurs, each employee will for pay purposes, be treated
as though he/she worked his/her scheduled shift. However, in the event of a shift
extension, the employee working the extra time off receives the pay for same at
his/her established overtime rate.
4. The employee initiating the trade is responsible to ensure the trade is fulfilled. If
the trade is not fulfilled, it will be considered an unexcused absence.
H. Shift Rotation:
1. Shift Scheduling: When operating under a 5-8 plan the regular shift rotation shall
occur approximately every three (3)months on the Monday of the first full week of
that month beginning in January. The shift scheduling process shall allow the
employee to select two(2) of the four(4) shift schedules (after seven years with the
Department, an employee may select all four shift schedules he or she is to work
during the year), as follows:
a. On or around October 15 of each year, the City shall first post a master
schedule of the anticipated available shifts for each quarter of the year and
the first quarter of the following year, which shall include days and hours
to be worked for each position.
b. Each employee,starting with the employee who has the most seniority,shall
in turn indicate his or her preference as to any two (2) of the four (4) shift
tours that he or she wishes to work among those indicated on the master
schedule that have not been previously selected by more senior employees.
However, any patrol officer who at the time of selection of shifts for the
following year worked twenty(20)or more days in a three-month(3-month)
Woodburn and Woodburn Police Assn. Page 10
CBA Effective 2022-2024
shift tour on a shift other than the shift he/she selected as a result of shift
reassignment pursuant to Section G lc below, shall select by seniority three
(3) of the four (4) shift tours that he or she will work. Employees shall be
allotted seven (7) days in which to complete the shift bidding process.
C. Within seven (7) days after all employees have made two (2) (or 3, if
applicable) shift tour selections, the City shall, without limits as to its
discretion, schedule the remaining shift tours for each employee so as to
complete the work schedule for the year from the listed shifts.
2. Compressed Workweek Schedule:
a. When operating under a compressed workweek schedule,shift bidding shall
occur on or about October 15th and employees shall have seven (7) days in
which to complete the shift bidding process.
b. Shift rotation while working a compressed workweek schedule will occur
on a quarterly basis as near as possible to the first of the months of January,
April, July, and October. It is understood that this compressed workweek
schedule is based on a no overtime expense to the City by virtue of rotation.
C. Shift scheduling shall occur as follows: Shifts schedules will be posted
along with the vacation bidding schedule under Article 14.b. The City shall
first post a master schedule of the anticipated available shifts for each
quarter of the year, which shall include days and hours to be worked for
each position.
1. Starting with the most senior officer, each officer shall bid either
day shift, overlap shift or night shift for each quarter, one of
which will be a different shift than the other assignments (e.g. 3
day shifts, 1 overlap shift and 1 night shift.)
2. Once each member has bid, the city shall construct the patrol
teams based upon the quarterly seniority bid and operational
needs.
3. Exceptions: With regard to the above procedure, it is recognized that the
scheduling of shifts on the basis of employee preference will not be allowed to
interfere with the City's ability to provide the best and most cost-effective service
to the public. By way of example therefore, the following exceptions to the above
shift scheduling procedures are made:
a. Probationary employees shall notbe subjectto the provisions of this Section
G1, above.
Woodburn and Woodburn Police Assn. Page 11
CBA Effective 2022-2024
b. Employees assigned to a particular activity that is traditionally associated
with specific work schedules shall not be subject to the provisions of this
Section.
Examples of such assignments include the following:
(1) Investigations/Detectives
(2) Inter-Agency Task Force Assignment
(3) Traffic Detail —Motorcycle Patrol
(4) School Resource Officer
(5) Mobile Crisis Response Team
(6) Canine Unit
(7) Community Service Officer
It is further understood and agreed that in the event an employee requests or is
transferred from a specialty assignment to patrol duties during a shift schedule
period, such a change will not trigger an obligation to conduct new shift rotations
or alter current shift preferences made pursuant to Section G1, above. The City
shall assign any such employee a shift for the remainder of the current shift
schedule which is based on operational needs. Officers scheduled to end an
assignment may shift bid with other officers during the normal shift bid process in
anticipation of the end of the assignment.
4. Discontinuance of compressed workweek shifts: Shift rotation in Section G will
not apply to a compressed workweek schedule. Should the Chief of Police direct
that a compressed workweek schedule be discontinued at any time during the year,
a shift bidding process by seniority shall be conducted. The shift bidding shall be
for the remainder of the current calendar year and the balance of the next calendar
year, prior to the annual shift bidding process. The shift bidding shall be
accomplished in accordance with the Section G1 and G3, except that the initial
posting of the schedule for bid shall be not more than sixty (60) days after the
discontinuance of the compressed workweek shift. All non-priority vacations and
time off will be cancelled; the Department will then analyze the impact of shift
bidding on the scheduled priority vacations that are in conflict with a more senior
officer's priority vacation and allowing the re-bidding of that priority vacation at
another time, this will be followed by requests for Vacations and Holidays as
outlined more specifically under Article 14B 1 of the agreement. The parties agree
that seniority bid priority vacations, and vacations cancelled under such a
circumstance, are the result of shift re-bidding selections by employees and are not
Woodburn and Woodburn Police Assn. Page 12
CBA Effective 2022-2024
under the control of the City, it is therefore agreed that Article 14 Section C is
waived in this situation.
L On-Call Detective: Each week, commencing at 0800 hours on Tuesday and ending at
0759 hours the following Tuesday, the City may assign one (1) Detective to "on-call" Detective
status. The rotation schedule for on-call Detective shall be established by the City's Detective
Sergeant with input from the Association members assigned to Detective duty. Requests for
training or personal leave that affect the on-call schedule will be considered in establishing the on-
call rotation. Trading of on-call weeks between Detectives shall be permitted, with advance
approval from the Detective Sergeant or designee. At the end of each on-call week, the Detective
who completed the previous on-call week will be compensated an additional four(4)hours straight
pay. All on-call Detectives must be able to respond to the call-out within one (1) hour of contact.
J. Off-Duty Contacts: All employees, excluding on-call Detectives, who receive telephone
calls or other contacts from the Department regarding work-related matters while off-duty shall be
compensated as follows: If the contact exceeds seven (7)minutes in duration,the employee shall
be compensated a minimum of one-half (1/2) hour or actual time spent on such call at his/her
regular overtime rate of pay, whichever is greater. If the contact takes seven (7) minutes or less,
it will be considered minor and will not be compensated. Employees are responsible for reporting
all contacts of more than seven (7) minutes as time worked.
ARTICLE 12—OVERTIME
A. Overtime Work: As used in this Agreement, overtime shall mean that time an employee
is authorized and directed to work in excess of eight (8) ten (10) hours or twelve (12) hours, as
appropriate, in one or on any day, or in addition to a scheduled forty-hour (40-hour) shift week.
Overtime shall be computed to the nearest quarter (1/4) hour. The City has the unqualified right
to require employees to work overtime. If an employee is assigned to a twelve (12) hour shift, the
employee shall receive overtime pay if the employee works more than twelve (12) hours per day
or more than one hundred seventy-one (171) hours in a twenty-eight(28) day work period.
B. Call-Outs and Holdovers:
1. Selection: The City reserves the right to call out any and all employees based on
Department need or emergency. Shift holdover shall be offered on the basis of
seniority.
2. Exclusions: Exemptions from Section 1, above shall be the same as those listed
in Article 11, Section G3b.
3. Payment: For sworn employees,time worked that is not in conjunction with a shift

Departmental mail box or electronically. If an employee is called out to work and
that call-out is subsequently canceled,the employee shall receive a call-out, unless
such cancellation occurs within ten(10)minutes of the first notification to report to

conjunction with services performed as a Woodburn Police Officer shall be considered time
worked, and any expenses associated with such appearances shall be reimbursed. Pay for court
or administrative appearances in conjunction with law enforcement services performed prior to

CBA Effective 2022-2024
month during which an employee is actively working or is on vacation, holiday or other leaves of
absence paid by the City. Vacation benefits do not accrue during periods that an employee is on

of a month, his/her vacation will be credited for a full month, provided the employee has worked
during that month. For purposes of vacation accrual, the City may credit laterally hired officers
for their years of service worked at their prior agency.
B. Utilization: Any vacation accrued in excess of two(2)times an employee's annual accrual
will be forfeited,provided that in the event an employee is unable due to departmental operational
needs to take a vacation, he or she may request and be granted a waiver in writing so as to allow

normally not exceed four(4) months in duration.
1. Bidding under a compressed workweek: When the Department is operating on a
compressed workweek, priority vacation bidding will take place on or around
November 1st of each year with the posting of a team schedule. Bidding will be
conducted within each team on the basis of seniority, with the senior-most officer
having the first vacation choice. Employees shall be allotted eight(8)days in which
to complete the seniority-based vacation sign-up process and the City shall have
fourteen (14) days after its completion in which to approve or deny the vacation
requests, and to accept alternative vacation dates for those denied. During this
process, bumping of bids by seniority will be allowed.
Once priority vacation bidding is completed, non-priority vacation and holiday
requests will be accepted based on seniority for one week, seven (7) days, after the
entire priority vacation bid process is complete. Employees will only be able to bid
for time off that each officer has already accrued. The City will then have one
week, seven (7) days, in which to complete the non-priority vacation and holiday
requests. Any holiday or vacation time off requested after this process will be based
on a first come first serve basis. Notwithstanding the above, in the event the City
implements a compressed workweek schedule,the City and Association may agree
to an alternative vacation bidding process. Any such agreement will be confirmed
in writing.
2. Bidding under the Five-Eight(5/8) Plan: When the Department is operating on a
five-eight (5/8) plan, priority vacation bidding will take place on or around
November 1st of each year. Each employee shall be allowed to sign up for one (1)
continuous vacation period for the ensuing shift bid year. The above-specified
vacation sign-up shall be conducted on the basis of seniority, with the most senior
employee having the first vacation choice. Employees shall indicate their first and
second choice for vacation dates on the bid. Employees shall be allotted eight(8)
days in which to complete the seniority-based vacation sign-up process and the City
shall have fourteen (14) days after its completion in which to approve or deny the
vacation requests, and to accept alternative vacation dates for those denied. During
this process, bumping of bids by seniority will be allowed.
Woodburn and Woodburn Police Assn. Page 17
CBA Effective 2022-2024
All vacation shall be in increments of one(1)hour, or longer, Requests for vacation in increments
of more than two (2) days must be submitted at least ten (10) calendar days in advance. Requests
for vacation increments of two(2)or less days may be submitted at any time. All vacation requests
shall be approved or denied on a first-request-received-has-priority basis within three (3)business
days of the day of receipt of the request, but not before the seniority bidding process has been
completed for the period in question. An employee may combine his/her accumulated holiday
time with vacation when scheduling vacation time off.
C. Cancellation of Vacation: In the event an employee is involuntarily required to work
during his/ her vacation, he/she shall receive overtime at the applicable rate for all time worked
during the scheduled vacation and shall have the option of receiving vacation pay for the time
involved(for a total of two-and-one-half times the regular hourly rate) or having the vacation time
reinstated to his/her vacation account for use at a later time. This section does not apply to
vacations of one (1) day or less that are not contiguous with an additional approved holiday or
vacation day(s) off when the City provides 72 hours' notice to the affected officer or when the
vacation cancellation is caused by another employee's use of sick time.
In addition, if an employee's seniority-bid vacation is canceled by the City for reasons that are not
beyond the control of the City, and if the employee has made non-refundable deposits that must
thereby be forfeited, he/she shall be eligible for reimbursement subject to the following. At the
time of notification of vacation cancellation, which must be hand-delivered to the employee, the
employee must advise the City of the fact that certain non-refundable deposits may have been
made and the nature of those deposits. Within seventy-two (72)hours of receipt of the notice of
vacation cancellation, the employee must submit appropriate documentation to verify any non-
refundable deposits. The provisions of this section shall not prevent an employee from voluntarily
canceling and/or rescheduling a vacation without the payment of a premium for the time involved.
D. Conversion of Vacation: An employee may make a written request to convert vacation
into sick leave or bereavement leave in circumstances where this is justified. With the Chief's
approval, authorized vacation time may be converted to sick leave or bereavement leave when the
employee experiences a major illness or injury while on vacation or; while on vacation, an event
occurs in the employee's family where the employee would qualify for bereavement leave.
E. Termination of Employment: Upon the termination,resignation or other break in seniority
of a regular, non-probationary employee, earned but unused vacation time shall be paid at his/her
current wage rate.

employee's sick leave usage exceeds three (3) consecutive workdays or whenever the City has a
reasonable belief based upon objective and articulable facts that a misuse of sick leave has
occurred. Receipt of verification may be required as a condition of payment. In the event
verification is required, out-of-pocket costs billed by the doctor or health care professional to
obtain the necessary verification shall be paid by the City to the extent such costs are not covered
by insurance. Verification may be required for absences due to illnesses and injuries of the
employee and/or members of his/her immediate family, consistent with applicable law

the right to require employees to submit verification of medical ability to safely
perform their job duties, as well as confirmation of the precise nature of any
limitations on an employee's ability to safely perform his/her job duties as a
condition of returning the employee to work.
E. Catastrophic Leave: An employee may donate sick leave under the Catastrophic Leave
Program as provided in the City Catastrophic Leave Policy and Procedures. If, during the term
of this Agreement, the City Catastrophic Leave Policy changes to allow employees additional
options for the donation of sick leave or other types of leave, these new provisions of the policy
shall also be applied by the City to Association members.
F. Injury Leave: Employees who sustain an injury or illness compensable under Oregon's
Worker's Compensation laws, and are eligible to receive time loss payments will be paid the
difference between their regular gross wages and injury time loss payments for up to one
thousand forty (1,040) hours per claim, unless state or federal law provides otherwise. These

available leave or not an occupationally disabled employee provided they pay their share of the
premium, shall continue to receive health insurance benefits for a period of twenty-four(24)

commencing at 8:00 a.m. and ending at 5:00 p.m. and shall not receive a paid lunch period for the
time served on jury duty. In addition, if the deliberations of the jury extend beyond 5:00 p.m., the

than a normal workday is required by such duty.

to vote prior to or after his/her normally scheduled working hours, he/she may be granted a
reasonable time off duty to vote without loss of pay or accrued vacation or sick leave.
C. Leave of Absence Without Pay: It is the expectation of the City that employees will be
judicious in their use of paid leave and that the need for leave without pay will be a rare occurrence.
In the event of exhaustion of vacation, holiday, and sick leave time, the Chief of Police may
authorize leave without pay due to unavoidable absence from work up to thirty(30)days. Requests
for such leaves must be in writing and must establish reasonable justification for the approval by
the City. Leaves of absence without pay for longer than thirty (30) days must be approved by the

specify whether he/she prefers to utilize holiday or vacation pay, holiday pay shall be utilized first,
then vacation pay.

have leave hours charged against their leave bank (sick, vacation, holiday).
Effective upon ratification, for purposes of calculating FMLA and/or OFLA leave, the "rolling"
year method permitted under 29 CFR 825.200(b)(4) shall be used. Under this method, each time
an employee takes FMLA leave, the remaining leave entitlement would be any balance of the 12

example, if an employee has taken eight weeks of FMLA leave during the past 12 months, an
additional four weeks of FMLA leave could be taken.

uncorrected behavior could lead to discipline. Command Counseling will not be placed in an
employee's personnel file, but will be maintained the supervisory files for review for yearly
evaluations. Command Counseling, including any employee rebuttal, will be purged from the
supervisory file after a period of one (1) year from the date of Command Counseling. Nothing in
this Article shall be construed to prevent or inhibit the Chief of Police or superior officers from
discussing and addressing matters pertaining to the operational needs and standards of the
department with employees.
Woodburn and Woodburn Police Assn. Page 32
CBA Effective 2022-2024
B. Due Process: In the event an employee is under investigation for potential violation of
policy or procedures, noncompliance with Departmental Standards or misconduct which could
reasonably lead to "discipline" as defined in Section A, above, the employee will be granted the
following procedural rights:
1. Disciplinary Interviews and Notice: The employee and a member of the
Association's Executive Board will be given forty-eight(48)hours advance written
notice of intent to interview, except in situations where exigent circumstances exist
to justify lack of notice (such as controlled substance concerns, etc.) Notice to the
employee will generally be hand delivered. Notice to a member of the Executive
Board may be made electronically. The notice will include: the general nature of
the allegation(s) or concern(s) prompting the interview; the policies and/or
standards potentially violated; and a reminder of his/her right to consult with an
Association representative and to have such a representative present during the
interview. This notice is not, however, required under circumstances of an
investigation involving alleged criminal conduct.
2. Interviews shall take place on City premises or elsewhere upon mutual agreement,
unless an emergency, or special circumstances, exist to justify conducting the
interview elsewhere.
3. The City shall make a reasonable good faith effort to conduct employee interviews
during the employee's regular working hours, except for emergencies or where
interviews can be conducted by telephone.
4. In a non-criminal investigation, the employee may be required to answer any
questions reasonably related to the subject matter under investigation. The
employee may be disciplined for refusing to answer such questions. In an
investigation involving potential criminal conduct, employees who are required to
answer questions related to the potential criminal conduct will be issued a"Garrity"
notice in writing. Such notice will advise the employee that he/she is required to
answer questions related to the potential criminal conduct and will be subject to
discipline for failure to do so. The notice will further advise the employee that the
answers provided in response to this directive will not be used in a subsequent
criminal proceeding.
5. In situations involving the use of deadly force, the employee shall be afforded
reasonable opportunity to consult with an Association representative or attorney
prior to being required to give an oral or written statement about the use of such
deadly force.
6. The employee shall be entitled to such reasonable intermissions as the employee
shall request for personal necessities.
7. All interviews shall be limited in scope to activities, circumstances, events, conduct
or acts which pertain to the incident(s) which are the subject of the investigation.
Woodburn and Woodburn Police Assn. Page 33
CBA Effective 2022-2024
Nothing in this Section shall prohibit the City from questioning the employee about
information which is developed during the course of the interview or information
related to the employee's understanding of the rule or standard in question and
mitigating or aggravating factors.
8. If the City or Association tape records the interview, a copy of the complete
interview of the employee, noting all recess periods, shall be furnished, upon
request, to either party. If the interviewed employee is subsequently notified of
potential discipline and any part of any recording is transcribed by the City, the
employee shall be given a copy of the tape prior to his/her due process hearing.
9. Investigations shall be conducted with no unreasonable delay. Disciplinary
interviews and grievance procedure meetings will not be delayed to assure an
employee's choice of a particular Association representative, unless the City has
agreed.
10. Lie Detector Tests: No employee will be compelled to provide polygraph or voice
stress tests.
Command Counseling shall not be considered disciplinary action and shall not be subject to the
provisions of this Article.
C. Pre-Disciplinary Loudermill Hearings: Prior to any discipline being imposed, the
employee shall be given the opportunity to meet with the Chief of Police or his designee,
personally or through an Association representative or attorney, to provide additional evidence
and/or mitigating circumstances related to the disciplinary action being considered. The City will
provide reasonable advance notice of the meeting and will respond to requests for information
related to the conduct leading to the proposed disciplinary action, including requests for copies of
investigation documents,witness statements,tape recordings and other information relied upon as
a basis for the proposed disciplinary action within a reasonable period prior to the meeting,
consistent with PECBA and due process obligations. The City agrees not to decide on the
discipline to be imposed on the employee until after such a meeting.
D. Imposing _Discipline: Any employee being disciplined will be given official Any employee being disciplined will be given ofbcial written notice
of the discipline being imposed, including a summary of the factual conclusions; the policy,
procedures, standards violated and/or misconduct that occurred.
The employee and/or Association representative shall, upon request, be furnished with a copy of
the investigation including all witness statements,tape recordings and other materials collected by
the City to impose the discipline.
The City shall complete its investigation into an allegation of misconduct by an employer no later
than six (6) months from the date of the first interview of the subject employee. The City may
extend the completion date for the investigation to a maximum of twelve (12) months from the
date of the first interview of the subject employee, provided that before the extension begins, the
Woodburn and Woodburn Police Assn. Page 34
CBA Effective 2022-2024
City provides written notice explaining the reason for the extension to the employee and the
employee's association representative.
E. Personnel Files: Disciplinary actions will be placed in employee personnel files and
removed from such files in accordance with Article 23 of this Agreement.
F. Officer Involved Shootings: The Department agrees to comply with the procedure for
officer involved shootings, attached to this Agreement as Appendix B.
G. Paid Administrative Leave: The Department reserves the right to place an employee on
paid administrative leave pending an administrative and/or criminal investigation. In such a case,
the employee placed on paid administrative leave shall not experience any reduction in pay
including but not limited to incentives or premium pay. Nothing in this section shall be interpreted
to limit or restrict the right of the Department to place the employee on an alternate shift and/or
make a different employee work assignment.
ARTICLE 26-FUNDING
The parties to this Agreement recognize that revenue needed to fund this Agreement must be
approved annually by established budget procedures and, in certain circumstances, by a vote of
the citizens of the City of Woodburn. All compensation provided for by this Agreement is
therefore contingent upon sources of revenue, and where applicable, budget committee and voter
approval. The City will not reduce the compensation specified in this Agreement, because of
budgetary limitations. The City agrees to include in its annual budget request amounts sufficient
to fund the compensation provided in this Agreement. In the event that the City does not receive
the required budget committee or voter approval needed to fund the annual budget, the parties
agree to meet to seek possible alternatives to layoff and service reductions.
ARTICLE 26A -DEPARTMENT SEARCHES
A. The City may conduct searches of City owned lockers, desks or other City property for
the purpose of locating City equipment or City owned property that may be stored therein. In
doing so the City will not be required to have reasonable suspicion or probable cause that the
property or equipment will be found therein,provided that:
I. Section D below does not apply when the City is seeking to retrieve needed
equipment, such as Tasers, Radios and Radio Equipment, Firearms, and Current
Patrol Notebooks.
2. Upon opening the locker, desk or other City owned property, the City shall only
retrieve the item needed, and will not conduct a search of the locker, desk, or
other City property, once the item sought has been located, and the City shall not
open any personally owned containers found in the locker, desk or other City
owned property.
Woodburn and Woodburn Police Assn. Page 35
CBA Effective 2022-2024
B. An investigative search of City owned lockers, desks or other City property will only be
conducted with the approval of the Chief or designee upon reasonable suspicion that a violation
of policy or procedure has occurred in accordance with applicable law. All other non-assigned
areas (e.g., shared desks, common office space, department vehicles)may be searched by the
City at any time for any reason.
C. Searches under Article 27, Substance Abuse Policy, may also be conducted. Personal
property, such as brief cases, lunch boxes, etc. brought onto City property, as well as lockers,
may be searched when the City has reasonable suspicion that alcohol or probable cause that
drugs or drug-related paraphernalia may be found.
D. Prior to the search under this Article, notice will be given to the employee who may elect
to be present with an Association representative,provided that the presence does not delay the
search in excess of 45 minutes. In the event the employee is unable to attend or declines to
attend the search, a search will still be conducted in the presence of an Association
representative.
ARTICLE 27- SUBSTANCE ABUSE POLICY
The Woodburn Police Department implements the following Substance Abuse Policy to become
effective upon execution of the Agreement:
A. Purpose:
1. It is the policy of this Department that the critical mission of law enforcement
services justifies maintenance of an alcohol and drug-free work environment
through the use of a reasonable employee drug testing program and the enforcement
of rules prohibiting the consumption of alcohol or use of drugs which interferes
with this mission.
2. The law enforcement profession has several uniquely compelling interests that
justify the use of employee alcohol and drug testing and other reasonable
restrictions designed to produce an alcohol and drug-free working environment.
The public has a right to expect that those who are sworn to protect them are at all
times both physically and mentally prepared to assume these duties.
3. Therefore, in order to ensure the integrity of the Department and to preserve public
trust and confidence in a fit and alcohol/drug-free law enforcement profession, this
Department has adopted the following rules and procedures:
B. Applicant Drug Testing:
1. Applicants for employment in the Department shall be required to take a drug test
as a condition of employment during a post-offer/pre-work medical examination.
Woodburn and Woodburn Police Assn. Page 36
CBA Effective 2022-2024
2. Applicants shall be disqualified from further consideration for employment under
the following circumstances:
a. Refusal to submit to a required drug test, or
b. A confirmed positive drug test indicating drug use prohibited by this policy.
C. Prohibited Conduct:
The following conduct is strictly prohibited:
1. Buying, selling, consuming, distributing or possessing drugs or alcohol, including
marijuana, during working hours, including rest and meal periods, except in
conjunction with the performance of work duties (confiscated evidence, approved
undercover operations, etc.)
2. Reporting for work or returning to duty under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
For the purposes of this policy, an employee is considered to be "under the
influence" of alcohol if his/her alcohol concentration is .02 BAC or more. Alcohol
concentration levels measuring less than .02 BAC are considered a negative test
result. An employee is considered to be "under the influence" of drugs, if the
employee tests positive for having such substances present in his/her body.
In no event will an employee consume any kind of alcoholic beverages within four
(4) hours of the time he/she is scheduled to report for work. Where an employee is
subject to call-out and he/she has consumed alcoholic beverages within the
preceding eight-hour period, the employee shall be required to advise his or her
supervisor of that fact, the amount and when the alcohol was consumed.
3. Failing to promptly report arrests, convictions and/or plea-bargains for an alcohol
or drug-related criminal offense to the Chief of Police or his/her designee,
irrespective of the jurisdiction where such action was taken.
4. Failing to comply with Department directives regarding enforcement of this Policy,
including but not limited to refusing to promptly submit to required testing; giving
false, diluted or altered samples; obstructing the testing process; failing to comply
with rehabilitation conditions imposed by the Department or rehabilitation
counselors pursuant to Article 7 of this Policy.
5. Failure to disclose use of over-the-counter or prescribed medication containing
controlled substance, as required by Section D, below.
For the purpose of this Policy, "drugs" includes, but is not limited to the following controlled
substances: opiates, cocaine, marijuana (THC), phencyclidine (PCP), amphetamines/
methamphetamines and barbiturates. However, "drugs" does not include prescription and over-
the-counter medications that are lawfully prescribed and used in a manner consistent with a
Woodburn and Woodburn Police Assn. Page 37
CBA Effective 2022-2024
physician's instructions and/or medication warnings. Marijuana is defined as a controlled
substance for the purpose of this policy,regardless of whether or not the marijuana was distributed
for medical purposes.
Employees who engage in any prohibited conduct will be subject to discipline, including
discharge.
D Disclosure of Medications:
Employees are responsible for consulting with their physicians and carefully reviewing medication
warnings, including any warnings pertinent to the effects of use of a combination of medications.
Employees who are using over-the-counter or prescribed medications which have any reported
side effects that could reasonably affect their ability to safely perform all essential job duties must
notify their supervisor of the substance taken and its side effects before reporting for work.
Medical verification of ability to safely perform job duties may be required before the employee
is allowed to continue his/her job assignment. Employees are eligible to utilize sick leave benefits
pending receipt of acceptable verification.
Although the use of prescribed and over-the-counter medication as part of a medical treatment
program is not grounds for disciplinary action, failure to fully disclose the use of substances which
could reasonably impair the safe performance of essential job duties; illegally obtaining the
substance or use which is inconsistent with prescriptions or labels will subject an employee to
disciplinary action.
E. Employee Testing:
Employees will be required to undergo drug and/or alcohol testing as a condition of continued
employment in order to ascertain prohibited drug use, as provided below:
1. Reasonable Suspicion. A supervisor may order an employee to immediately submit
to a urinalysis test for drugs and/or a breathalyzer test for alcohol whenever the City
has reasonable suspicion to believe that the employee has violated the provisions
of this Policy concerning reporting to work or being at work "under the influence"
of drugs or alcohol.
"Reasonable suspicion" shall be defined as suspicion based on articulated
observations concerning the appearance, unusual behavior, speech, breath odor,
body symptoms or other reliable indicators that an employee has consumed drugs
and/or alcohol in violation of this Policy.
2. Special Assignments. A drug test shall be considered as a condition of placement
in special assignments within the Department and shall be administered prior to
such assignment where testing is required by the District Attorney. Such
assignments will not be used as a pretense for other types of drug testing.
Woodburn and Woodburn Police Assn. Page 38
CBA Effective 2022-2024
3. Random. During the one year period, 25% of all persons covered by this Policy
shall be randomly tested for drugs during unannounced times.
a. The Human Resources Director shall determine the timing of such tests.
b. All employees shall have a number controlled by a testing service with
SAMHSA/NIDA certified lab, testing and Medical Review Officer (MRO)
capabilities, which shall be placed in a pool for anonymous random
electronic selection. Each employee shall have an equal chance of being
selected in each random selection. The City shall conduct up to four (4)
random tests per year.
C. Individuals selected for random testing shall be notified the day the test is
scheduled, preferably within two hours of the scheduled testing.
d. In the event the random testing of any employee is deferred because that
employee is in a leave status (sick,vacation,parental leave, etc.) or on duty
related travel status away from the City, that employee's test may be
deferred. However, any individual whose test is deferred shall be subject
to an unannounced test at any time within the following ninety (90) days.
4. Rehabilitation Treatment: Where testing is required pursuant to Rehabilitation and
Return to Work Agreement imposed by the City or an employee's rehabilitation
counselors, individualized testing may be required as outlined in that Agreement.
Urinalysis testing will be conducted for all types of drug testing and breathalyzer testing
will be conducted for all types of alcohol testing.
F. Testing Procedures:
1. All testing will be conducted at a laboratory certified by the federal DOT and shall
be conducted in accordance with the standards for procedural safeguards and testing
integrity disseminated by the NIDA. All drug tests will be conducted through
collection of a split sample. All positive drug tests will be confirmed by a second
cross confirmatory test from the same sample using GCMS testing methodology
and reviewed by a Medical Review Officer before the test result is reported as
positive.
2. The other sample shall remain at the testing facility in frozen storage for a minimum
of 90 days from the date the test was conducted. This sample shall be made available
to the employee or his attorney, should the original sample result in a legal dispute or
the chain of custody be broken.
3. Whenever there is a reason to believe that the employee may have altered or
substituted the specimen to be provided or the initial test was not determinative, a
Woodburn and Woodburn Police Assn. Page 39
CBA Effective 2022-2024
second specimen may be obtained immediately, using testing procedures deemed
appropriate by the testing laboratory personnel.
4. If the confirmatory test is positive for the presence of a controlled substance, the
employee will have the option of submitting the split untested sample to a qualified
and certified laboratory of the employee's own choosing.
5. All records pertaining to department required drug and alcohol tests, as well as
compliance with rehabilitation terms shall remain confidential, and shall not be
released, except on a need to know basis, in accordance with applicable law. All
documents pertaining to testing and test results will be maintained in employee
medical, not personnel, files.
G. Consequences of Violations:
1. Employees who Report Dependencies and Seek Assistance before Committing
Policy Violation—Rehabilitation.
The City encourages employees who have drug and/or alcohol dependencies or think they may
have such dependencies to seek assistance voluntarily. When an employee voluntarily reports
a drug or alcohol dependency to the Chief or his/her designee and seeks assistance before
violating this Policy, that employee will be placed on a leave of absence or adjusted working
hours to allow for in-patient or out-patient rehabilitation treatment as recommended by a
Substance Abuse Professional (SAP).
The employee will not be permitted to work until such time as a Substance Abuse Professional
agrees the employee:
a. Has been evaluated by a Substance Abuse Professional (SAP);
b. If recommended by the SAP, has complied with all rehabilitation/after-care
prescribed; and
C. Has a verified negative drug or alcohol test(as applicable).
In order to return to work for the City, an employee seeking assistance must agree to all
treatment,rehabilitation,after-care and follow-up testing as set forth in a written Rehabilitation
and Return to Work Agreement required by the City. Any employee who violates the terms
of the Agreement is subject to immediate termination.
Woodburn and Woodburn Police Assn. Page 40
CBA Effective 2022-2024
The time an employee is off work undergoing rehabilitation is unpaid. However, employees
may draw their unused, accumulated sick leave, and/or vacation pay, holiday and
compensatory time. Also, employees who are receiving health insurance coverage will be
eligible for continuation of health insurance benefits with standard City contributions as
required by the Family Medical Leave Act.
2. Employees who Report Dependencies and Seek Treatment after Committing a
Policy Violation.
Employees who notify the City of drug or alcohol dependencies after violating this Policy are
subject to discharge, irrespective of such dependencies.
The City may however, at its discretion, allow an employee to undergo evaluation and
rehabilitation in lieu of discharge, provided the employee promptly complies with the terms
and conditions set forth in Section Hl, above. The City will consider the following factors in
exercising its discretion: the employee's length of service; the employee's work record, in
particular, whether the employee has committed a previous alcohol or drug policy infraction;
the consequences of the violation; any other circumstances offered by the employee that
mitigates against discharge.
It is understood and agreed that the references to discipline and discharge set forth in this Policy
and the Rehabilitation and Return to Work Agreement are not intended to supersede "just
cause"requirements.
