employees to voluntarily reduce their work hours. Participation in the program would be entirely
voluntary and subject to approval of the Department Director(subject to review and approval of the
Director of Financial Services, Human Resources Manager, City Attorney, and Mayor) and
conditioned upon execution of a written agreement between the City, the employee, and respective
labor union or guild as applicable acknowledging the terms and conditions of the program as
implemented.
ATTACHMENTS: Ordinance No. 5090
FISCAL IMP ACTS (Include Budgeted Amount): The program provides the potential for additional
personnel cost savings. Participation in the program is voluntary and requires mutual agreement.
There must be a quantifiable cost savings to the City or the request will not be approved.
