Any resolution made by an employee covered hereunder with his non- <br />bargaining unit supervisor shall not set a precedent for the settlement of any other disagreement <br />involving the same or other employees. <br /> <br />11.2 The City shall recognize one (1) Union representative to represent the bargaining unit <br />Lieutenants. The identity of the Union representative shall be furnished in writing to the <br />Personnel Director and the Police Chief prior to the effective date of the Union representative <br />assuming hislher duties. Prompt written notification of changes in the Union representative shall <br />be provided to the Personnel Director and the Police Chief. No Union representative will be <br />recognized by the City unless such written notification was presented prior to such Union <br />representative assuming hislher duties. <br /> <br />11.3 The Union representative shall be paid by the City only when he/she performs assigned <br />law enforcement duties and/or work directed by the City.
