at 200 South Church Street, pursuant to the agreement between the City of Rockford
and the County of Winnebago. To be eligible for reimbursement under this Section,
the employee must submit a receipt and/or other evidence to the Employer to establish

make arrangements to not disrupt the work of employees on duty. Upon mutual
arrangement with the Employer in an emergency situation, Union staff
representatives or local union representatives may call a meeting during work
hours to present, resolve or clarify a problem.
2. Union Meetings on County Premises The Employer agrees to allow the Union
to use a County conference and meeting room(s) for Union meetings upon

or inconvenience to the Employer. The Union shall hold the Employer(s)
harmless for any damage caused by such use.
