Section 8. Canine Pay and Assignment Differentials 8.1. Canine Pay: Police Officers assigned as canine handlers are required to care for their assigned animal, which shall include grooming, feeding, exercising, training, bathing and all other responsibilities associated with caring for a canine. Officers assigned as canine handlers shall receive additional pay in the amount of five percent (5%) when the Officer is responsible for the care of the dog. This amount is in recognition of the additional time required to care for the animal during non-regular duty hours, which the parties estimate in good faith as an additional two hours per week. This additional pay will compensate Police Officers fully for caring for their canine during non-regular duty hours. If the Officer is unable to perform as a canine 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%) additional pay will cease. It will be reinstated when the handler returns to full duty and is functioning as a canine team. The stipend 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 separate 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 of 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. 8.2. Field Technician Pay: Effective December 1, 2016, Police Officers acting in the capacity of Field Technicians shall be paid an additional forty dollars ($40.00) per day, while performing that duty. 6
