Section 1. Recognition Pleasanton Police Officers' Association, hereinafter referred to as "Association" or PPOA, is the formally recognized employee organization for the Police Employees Unit comprised of the classifications of Police Officer and Police Sergeant certified pursuant to the Employer- Employee Relations Procedures and Resolution No. 98-46, adopted by the City of Pleasanton City Council on May 5, 1998. Section 2. Association Security 2.1 Dues Deduction Upon receipt of a written assignment and authorization signed by the employee on the form shown below, the City agrees to deduct from each pay check of such employee in each calendar month an amount which will total the dues required for membership in the Association. The amount so deducted shall be remitted by the City to the officer designated in writing by the official of the Association as the person authorized to receive such funds. The Association shall notify the City Manager in writing as to the amount of such dues required of its members. The employee's earnings must be regularly sufficient after other legal and required deductions are made to cover the amount of the dues check-off authorized. When an employee is in a non- pay status for an entire pay period, no withholding will be made to cover that pay period from future earnings. In the case of any employee who is in a non-pay status during only part of the pay period, and the salary is not sufficient to cover the full withholding, no deduction shall be made. In this connection, all other legal and required deductions have priority over Association dues. In addition, in order to meet certain accounting deadlines, all payroll changes connected with the deduction of said Association dues must be made by the fifteenth (15th) of the preceding month. The Association shall indemnify, defend, and hold the City harmless against any and all claims, demands, suits, proceedings or court orders, or any other liability that may arise out of or by reason of action taken or not taken by the City for the purpose of complying with any of the provisions of this check-off agreement. In addition, the Association shall refund to the City any amounts paid to it in error upon presentation of supporting evidence. The employee's authorization request shall be in the following terms: "Date: You are hereby authorized and requested to deduct from wages due me such amount as which will total the current amount of my Association dues as reported to you by the Pleasanton Police Officers' Association and to make such deductions for each and every succeeding month unless and until I revoke this assignment in writing. You are hereby authorized and you are to pay the total amount deducted each month to Pleasanton Police Officers' Association. This assignment is voluntary. It Signature 1
