APPENllIX C
State and f ederal reductions in local gavern�.ent aid have resulted in
a serious gap between projected and actual revenue with which ta fund the
1982 budget for the City of Saint Paul. It has been necessary, as ann.ounced
f
by the Mayor on January 6, 1982, to make permanent gersonneZ reductions
affecting numerous city employees as of January 29, I982.
It is recognized by the parties to this agreement that ef£ects detri—
mental to the city and its employees flow from these germanent personnel
reductions. In order to minimize these detrimental eff ects, the parties
have agreed to establish an incentive program to £acilitate xeinstatement
af employees who would have otherwise been without emp7.oyccent on January 29,
1982, by encouraging voluntary retirement of city emplopees who �eeC
eligibility requirements.
The parties agree to the incentive program subject to the following
specif ic conditions:
1) The City of Saint Paul shall pay to any member of this
bargaining unit, who meets the requirements for voluntarp .
retirement and who agrees to retire withia the dates set
forth below, an incentive of up to $S,OOQ provided that
such retirement leads in an unbroken causal chain to the
reinstatement of an emplayee who would other��ise be
, without employment on January 29, 1982, as a result of
the permanent personnel reductions.
- 2 -
2) The incentive shall be available to any eligible e�ployee
during the period of January 29, 1982, to April 30, 1982,
inclusive. The incentive shall autom.atically ter�inate
with respect to this bargaining unit prior to April 30,
1982, if all employees within this bargaining unit who
are af£ected by the permanent personnel reductions are
- reinstated. Such termination shall occur the day of the .
reinstatement of the last zffected eeu�ployee.
3) Any employee wishing to take advantage of this incentive
must submit his or her request for �etirement, along �
with necessary supporting documents, to his or her
appointment officer within the time pariod mentioned `
above.
4) The date of retixement, for purposes of ca.Iculating the
amount of the incentive, shall. be the date the employee
actually retires, not the date that intent to xetir e
is com�nunicated Lo the appointing officer. If there
fs a delay between the employee's desired retiremeat
date and the actival retirement date, and if such delay
is caused by circumstances outside the employee's
control, the date of retirement, for purposes of
calculatiag the amount of the incentive, shall be
the date the employee desired to retire.
