Every effort shall be made at this time to resolve the grievance informally. If the initial contact is oral, a written report of the grievance shall be made by the Township, which report shall be reviewed and signed by the grievant. In all cases, a written report of the resolution of the grievance, if any, shall be retained in the Township records.
