Memorandum of Agreement
"�'� �{,�,,�^/
This Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) is made and entered into this 3� day of 1�171�1'N' 2006, by
and between the City of Saint Paul (hereinafter referred to as City }, and the American Federation of State,
County, and Municipal Employees (hereinafter referred 4o as AFSCME ). The purpose of this agreement
is to continue the ori° nally-established pilot project tifled "Saint Paul Public Works Competency Modeling
Proj ect Engineering Aide I- Engineering Tectmical Supervisor dated Much 20, 2001 and the . Civil
Engineer Technician 7ob Family Competency Mah dated December 21, 2000, revised May 1, 2006 .
The City and AFSCME agee that the extension of the pilot proj ect shall continue to apply to those
employees of the Department of Public Works who hold positions allocated to the Engineer Aide I and II,
and the Public VJorks Technician I, II, and III classes and who aze represented by AFSCME. Also, the City
and AFSCME agree that the following Civil Service Rules, as modified, sk�all continue to be used in the
administration of the competency-based classification system developed by the pilot proj ect:
Civil Service Rule 6.B (Exuninarion Contents) shall allow qualifying examinarions, e.g, pass/fail for
promorion candidates instead of for only original entrants. This rule, as modified, shall be used only
for examinations used to detemune eligible candidates for promotional vacancies in positions
allocated to the Engineering Aide I, and II, and Public Works Teclmician I, II, and III classes in the
Department of Public Works.
2. Civil Service Rule 7(Eligible Lists) shall allow for promotion eligible lists established for Civil

Public Works to remain in effect indefinitely.
It is further agreed that grievances arising from terms and conditions of employment in the City of Saint Paul
Civil Service Rules and Salary Plan and Rate of Compensation shall continue to be processed through the
procedure outlined in the current collective bazo ining agreement beriveen the City and AFSCME. Any
grievances arising from alleged violations of the procedures established in said competency system shall also
be subject to the aforemenrioned grievance procedure. However, because both parties aclmowledge that the
City retains its inherent managerial rights to evaluate and select staff, any concems regazding the substanrive
determinations of a Competency Review Board shall be appealed solely to the Civil Service Coxnxnission.
Finally, it is further agreed that this Memorandum of Agreement shall continue to be in force for two months
until December 30, 2006, until the parties can agree upon a further specific continuation period for the pilot
project, unless the City and AFSCME Local #1842 mutually agree to end or modify said agreement prior to
December 30, 2006.
