The City and the Union will meet to establish, within thirty (30) days of signing this agreement, a joint labor-management committee to study the feasibility of implementing a Total Quality Management-type or other similar system for the City's Local 2058 staffed operations.
The Union shall be represented by the President of Local 2058 and three (3) additional representatives. Should this committee decide that a T.Q.M.-type system is feasible, a steering committee consisting of the designated representatives and Quality Circle Facilitators shall meet at least monthly to implement and oversee the process.
This steering committee shall assume the functions of developing a mutually agreed upon plan. The plan is to recognize performance, determine training needs and improve the delivery and quality of services to the public.
