A <br />Request for Service must be filed prior to submitting a grievance and within 180 calendar days of the <br />Request for Service response. Like the Request for Service, the City is required to keep detailed <br />records and follow a strict timeline to ensure complete recordkeeping and evaluation of the <br />Department's response to the grievance. The grievance will be recorded in the Public Works' MMS. <br />• Initial acknowledgment of the grievance will occur within 5 business days of receipt of the <br />grievance. <br />• Initial staff contact and interview for information gathering will occur within 15 business <br />days from the date of acknowledgment, although the complainant may decline to <br />participate in the interview. <br />• A written decision will be made within 15 business days from the initial staff <br />contact/interview by the Public Works Section (Team) manager or designee. In addition, the <br />decision will be provided in a format requested by the grievant. <br />• If staff determines additional time is needed in order to make an informed decision, the <br />decision timeline may be extended in 15 -business day increments upon notification to the <br />grievant. <br />Grievance decisions may be appealed to the Public Works Director or designee (Public Works <br />Maintenance or Engineering Division Managers). <br />• The Public Works Director, or designee, will meet with the grievant within 15 calendar days <br />of the date of the appeal, unless declined by the grievant. <br />• The Public Works Director, or designee, will issue a written decision within 15 calendar days <br />of the meeting (or date meeting is declined) with the grievant. The decision will also be <br />provided in a reasonable format requested by the grievant. This decision is final. <br />See Appendix 9.4 for additional criteria and procedures to be used in responding to Requests for <br />Service and Grievances. <br />Any requests for service or grievances regarding issues within the right-of-way initially submitted to <br />the Human Rights and Equity staff will be forwarded to Public Works staff. <br />9.
