Any such referral shall <br />be in writing, and the specific issues involved shall be detailed in such <br />referral together with a statement of the resolution which is desired. The <br />City Manager shall designate a personal representative to investigate the <br />merits of the grievance, to meet with the grievant and to settle such <br />grievance or to make recommendations thereon to the City Manager. This <br />shall be the final step of the grievance procedure unless the Union elects <br />step 4 below. <br /> <br /> 4) In the event the parties hereto are unable to reach a mutually satisfactory <br />accord on any grievance (as the term "grievance" is hereinabove defined) <br />that arises and is presented during the term of this MOU, such grievance <br />shall be submitted to an impartial arbitrator who shall be designated by <br />mutual agreement between the Union and the City Manager. Should the <br />Union and the City Manager fail to reach agreement on selection of the <br />arbitrator within fifteen (15) days, they shall jointly request a list of five (5) <br />qualified arbitrators from the California State Mediation and Conciliation <br />Service. If mutual selection cannot be made from the list received within <br />five (5) days, the parties shall select the arbitrator by alternately striking <br />names until only one name remains; that person shall serve as the <br />arbitrator. The party which strikes the first name from the list of arbitrators <br />shall be determined by a toss of a coin. The fees and expenses of the <br />arbitrator and of a Court Reporter shall be shared equally by the Union and <br />the City. Each party, however, shall bear the cost of its own presentation, <br />including preparation and post hearing briefs, if any. <br /> <br /> Decisions of arbitrators on matters properly before them shall be final and <br />binding on the parties hereto. <br /> <br /> No arbitrator shall entertain, hear, decide or make recommendations on any <br />dispute involving a position over which the Union has jurisdiction unless <br />such dispute falls within the definition of a grievance as hereinabove set <br />forth in paragraph (A) of this Section. <br /> <br /> Proposals to add to or change this MOU or written agreements or addenda <br />supplementary hereto shall not be arbitrable and no proposal to modify, <br />amend or terminate this MOU, nor any matter or subject arising out of or in <br />connection with such proposal, may be referred for arbitration under this <br />section; and no Arbitrator shall have the power to amend or modify this <br />MOU or written agreements or addenda supplementary hereto or to <br />establish any new terms or conditions of employment. <br /> <br />C. All grievances involving or concerning the payment of compensation shall be <br />initially filed in writing with the Human Resources Director. In such cases no <br />adjustment shall be retroactive for more than sixty (60) days from the date upon <br />which the grievance was filed. Only grievances alleging that employees are
