Sworn officers regularly assigned to the investigation division and one Sergeant assigned to the administrative services unit may receive a one hundred dollar ($100.00) per month differential while so assigned; provided, however, that acall-in procedure is agreed to between the Police Officers' Association and the Police Chief. Police Officers assigned as canine handlers shall xeceive a five percent (5%) pay differential when the officer and dog are certified as a team and are functioning and on duty as a team in police patrol. This amount is in recognition of the additional time required to care for the animal during non-regular duty hours. If the officer is unable to perform as a K-9 handler due to a non- work related injury or other non-work related cause, for a period that exceeds 30 consecutive days, the five percent (5%) differential will cease. The differential will be reinstated when the handler returns to full duty and is functioning as a K-9 team. The differential will also cease after 90 consecutive days should the dog not be able to work due to an injury or other medical reasons. During the time the officer and dog are assigned and perform in the program, the City will provide a monthly maintenance allowance of two hundred dollars ($200.00) as reimbursement for housing, taking care of and feeding the dog. In the event the dog cannot work due to an injury or other medical reasons, the maintenance allowance shall continue for a period up to ninety (90) calendar days from the date of the dog's disability. If it is medically determined during this ninety (90) day period that the dog will not be able to return to full duty, the maintenance allowance shall cease as of the date of such determination. Police Officers acting in the capacity of Field Technicians shall be paid an additional thirty dollars ($30.00) per day, while performing that duty. Police Officers acting in the capacity of Field Training Officer (F.T.O.) shall be paid an additional thirty dollars ($30.00) per day, while performing that duty. Police Officers utilizing bilingual skills shall be paid an additional thirty dollars ($30.00) per day while performing that duty. Bilingual skills shall be those certified by the Chief of Police as necessary to the operation of the Department and confirmed by an appropriate testing process. Section 9. Application of Pay Rates Employees may be assigned to perform the duties of a permanent position in a higher classification on a temporary basis. Such assignments shall be termed "acting assignments" and shall be made subject to the following conditions: (1) acting assignments shall be made by the Police Chief only, with City Manager approval, and shall be made prior to the beginning of the shift and with written notification to the acting employee; (2) acting assignments shall be made only in those instances where the acting employee will be responsible for the performance of the full range of duties of the higher classification for not less than one (1) full workday; (3) acting pay shall be that certain step in the salary range of the higher classification, which generates an increase above the acting employee's current salary of not less than five percent (5%}. 6
