When a snow and ice emergency continues after Public Works supervisors execute the actions listed above, said supervisors will offer snow and ice control duty to individuals on the City's approved call-in list of temporary employees (a.k.a. "snow birds"). When a snow and ice emergency continues after Public Works Department supervisors execute the actions listed above, said supervisors will compel employees of the Water Distribution Section of the Water Services Division to work the hours required for the snow and ice emergency. In the event that a snow and ice emergency continues after all the above steps have been executed, nothing herein shall preclude the Traffic Section of Municipal Services who hold valid commercial driver's licenses, and then other sources(such as private contractors and mutual aid) to ensure adequate response to the snow and ice emergency. It is recognized by the parties that Water Distribution Section employees, as employees expressly covered by Article 7, Section 1 (d), are subject to the rights and obligations enumerated in Article 7, Section 3 of this CBA including subsections (a) through Q). Section 2. An employee recalled to duty, as distinguished from an employee held over beyond the quitting time of his regular shift, shall receive overtime pay for the time actually served but for not less than a minimum of two hours; provided, however, that such two hour minimum shall not apply if the time said employee is to report for recall duty is within one hour or less of the commencing time of such employee's regular shift. Section 3. Overtime duty shall be voluntary and an employee who declines overtime shall not be discriminated against, provided that overtime duty required because of an emergency, or mandatory training, shall not be voluntary but will be served by the employee when directed. (a) All employees represented by the bargaining unit who are subject to call for emergen- cies to provide essential services are required to have personal telephones as a condition of employment.

"Personal telephones" include home telephones and personally owned cellular telephones. (c) All employees represented by the bargaining unit in designated classifications will pro- vide personal telephone numbers to the department director. Failure to comply with this require- ment will be grounds for disciplinary action. (d) Each employee represented by the bargaining unit will provide to the City a telephone number for his/her personal telephone for the purpose of call-ins. Each employee may provide to the City an additional telephone number, to be used in like manner. Telephone numbers so provided will be maintained in service 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. (e) All departments will verify with employees, at least annually, that the telephone numbers provided are actually in service. (f) All off-duty employees represented by the bargaining unit in designated classifications shall respond to telephone calls from their supervisors or designee made for the purpose of recalling employees to work for snow and ice control overtime and emergency water system repair overtime, as described herein.
