C.
The
Grievance Procedure of the City of Maryville, Missouri, shall be as
follows:
1.

the City of Maryville under the ADA (hereinafter, the "Discriminatory
Act"), the claimant shall immediately deliver to the City Manager's
office claimant's written discrimination grievance stating the following:
a.
Claimant's full name, address and telephone number.
b.
The department name and the location in which it is alleged that
the Discriminatory Act occurred.
c.

Discriminatory Act(s), and the name or names of the City employees
who claimant believes acted in a discriminatory manner.
d.
The nature of the claimant's handicap and how such handicap affects
claimant.
e.
Other information that claimant believes necessary to support their
grievance.
|
|
Grievances made which do not include the necessary information
shall be returned to the claimant for further information. No action
shall occur until a fully-completed grievance has been received.
|
|
|
Within twenty (20) working days following the receipt of the
written grievance described above, the City Manager shall investigate
the factual basis, if any, for the grievance and shall hold a meeting
with the claimant. Within ten (10) working days after such meeting,
the City Manager shall notify claimant of the decision as to whether
such grievance is valid and, if so, what corrective action will be
done by the City. If the City Manager does not believe the grievance
has merit, the claimant shall be so advised and, if so, will be advised
why such a decision was made.
|
2.
If satisfaction is not achieved by the above procedure or notification
is not mailed within ten (10) working days from the date of the meeting
with the City Manager, the claimant may then present the grievance
to the City Council. A written appeal must be made to the City Council
within forty-five (45) calendar days from the date of the meeting,
whether a notification is received from the City Manager or not. The
hearing will be conducted in an informal manner and the City Council
shall make every effort to avoid the appearance of conducting a trial
in a court of law. The written grievance appeal shall state the following:
3.
No later than ten (10) working days after receipt of the written
appeal, the City Council shall fix a time and place for convening
a hearing. Within forty-eight (48) hours after the hearing, findings
and recommendations will be submitted in writing to the claimant.
4.
Claimant's failure to attend or notify the City Council of his/her
inability to attend will constitute just cause for dismissal of the
grievance. In order to be effective, the inability to attend the hearing
must be communicated by the claimant to the City Clerk and must be
no later than twenty-four (24) hours prior to the hearing.
5.
No portion of this grievance procedure is intended to award compensation
to any claimant for any alleged Discriminatory Act, but rather is
solely intended to allow a means of curing by corrective action a
situation that is occurring within a City department.
D.
