Nothing in this Part shall be interpreted as preventing or limiting the right of the City Council to hold executive sessions with the City Manager or other duly designated management representative(s) prior to or during meet and confer with recognized employee organizations for the purposes of reviewing its position and instructing its designated management representative(s).

Only recognized employee organizations in established representation units are entitled to negotiate with duly designated management representatives on matters within the scope of representation for the employees in the respective units.

(a) Nothing in this Part requires meeting and conferring between parties to a Memorandum of Understanding during the term of such Memorandum regarding matters to take effect during such term.

(b) Negotiations shall not be required on any subject preempted by Federal or State law or by City Charter, nor shall negotiations be required on Employee or Management Rights defined in Sections 9011 and 9012 hereof.

(c) Proposed amendments to this Employer-Employee Relations Policy are excluded from the scope of negotiation.

(d) Employees in classifications not included in supervisory and confidential representation units shall not participate in meeting and conferring or grievance resolution processes pertaining to supervisory and confidential representation unit classifications.

(e) City employees who represent a recognized employee organization for meet and confer must give reasonable advance notice thereof to their immediate supervisors, but in no event shall such notice be given less than one full working day or shift before the meet and confer meeting.

If agreement is reached between a recognized employee organization and the duly designated management representative of the City following meet and confer, the parties shall jointly prepare a written Memorandum of Understanding containing the terms of agreement, which Memorandum shall be signed by the City Manager and by a principal representative of the recognized employee organization.

The written Memorandum of Understanding reached between the parties described in Section 9103 hereof, shall promptly be submitted to the membership of the representation unit for ratification. Upon ratification, the Memorandum shall be submitted to the City Council for its approval, without which, the Memorandum of Understanding shall have no effect.
