WHEREAS, pursuant to Neb. Rev. Stat., §16-201, the City has the authority to
make all contracts and do all other acts in relation to the property and concerns of the City
necessary to the exercise of its corporate powers; and
WHEREAS, City and Fraternal Order of Police (FOP) are parties to a Labor
Agreement effective October 1, 2016 through September 30, 2019 (the "Agreement"); and
WHEREAS, City has an established practice for payroll administration consisting
of a two-week, Monday through Sunday pay plan with payroll checks or deposits made on
Thursday next following the last day of the previous pay period; and
WHEREAS, City determined it would change its payroll practice, policy and
procedure to a two-week, Sunday through Saturday pay plan with payroll checks or deposits
made on Friday next following the last day of the previous pay period; and
WHEREAS, City and FOP determined the changes in payroll administration
would financially impact the bargaining unit members assigned to the Police Department B
team, who are regularly assigned to work 80 hours in each two-week period and would receive a
paycheck for 8 fewer hours as a result of the payroll transition; and
WHEREAS, City and FOP engaged in negotiations regarding the effect of the payroll
administration changes upon the City's employees represented by the FOP (the "FOP Bargaining
Unit").

covenants herein, City and FOP agree as follows:

2. B Team will be assigned to work one (1) twelve (12) hour shift on Saturday, August 4
and shall for said work be compensated as follows: the employee's regular hourly rate of
pay times the number of hours actually worked not to exceed eight (8) hours and 1.5
times the employee's regular rate of pay times the number of hours actually worked.
3. B Team will receive overtime pay at the rate of 1.5 times the regular rate of pay for hours
worked in excess of 72 hours during the 13-day period beginning July 23 and ending
August 4.
4. Notwithstanding Paragraphs 1 and 2 above, if a B Team member is on approved paid
leave on August 4 he or she shall utilize 12 hours accrued paid leave and shall receive pay
for an additional eight (8) hours at the regular rate of pay.
5. FOP acknowledges the City will establish for the FOP bargaining unit, beginning Sunday,
August 5, 2018, a two-week, Sunday through Saturday, pay period pay plan with regular
payday the Friday next following the last day of each pay period. Provided, however, if
payday is a banking holiday payday will occur the preceding banking workday.
