By ratification of this Agreement, the Board of

determines it is in the best interest of the College to do so for financial or

In the event the Board finds it prudent to consider this option, the Board will
direct Management to notify the Federation and engage in good faith
negotiations in accordance with ORS 243.698.

The exercise by the Board of the powers, rights,
authority, duties and responsibilities in Articles 4.11 through 4.20 and the

and the use of judgment and discretion in connection therewith shall be limited
only by the specific terms of this Agreement.
