MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING BETWEEN CITY OF ARDEN HILLS, MN AND I.U.O.E., LOCAL 49 Commercial Driver's License The purpose of this Memorandum of Understanding is to assist both Labor and Management in applying the new rules for Commercial Drivers License (CDL) holders. The following conditions will apply to no more than one (1) Public Works employee with fifteen (15) years of service or more in the Local 49 Bargaining Unit at any given time, and allows only one revocation per person. I. If an employee temporarily loses his/her driver's license and COL, the employee must obtain a valid work permit that allows them to drive non-commercial vehicles during work hours.

An employee who does not obtain a drivers license within ninety (90) days will be terminated. 2. In the opinion of the Department Head, there must be sufficient bargaining unit work that does not require a CDL and the impacted employee shall possess the skills and abilities to successfully undertake those tasks. 3. If there is sufficient work, the Employer will accommodate an employee who temporarily loses his/her CDL license for a period not to exceed one (I) year. The one (I) year period begins as of the date of his/her license revocation. If the employee does not have their CDL reinstated within one (I) year, the employee will be terminated. 4. If the temporary loss of a driver's license is the result of an alcohol-related offense, the employee will be required to comply with the recommendations of a Substance Abuse Professional. Proof of compliance with the Substance Abuse Professional recommendations will be provided to the Employer. 5. This agreement applies to driving violations outside the work place. This agreement does not include positive test results from the Department of Transportation's required random testing. 6. A twenty-five percent (25%) decrease in pay will begin as of the revocation date. Any lost wages during the revocation of the employee's drivers license/COL will not be reimbursed regardless of the outcome of any subsequent contesting of the revocation.
