It has been necessary, as announced by the Mayer on January 6, 1982, to make per�anent persannel. reductions affecting numerous city employees as of January 29, 1982. It is recognized by the parties to this agreement that effects detri— �ental to the city and its eraployees flow from these per�aanent personnel reductions. In order to minimize these detrimental effects, the parties have agreed to establish an incentive program to facilitate reinstateueent of employees who would have otherwise been without employmer�tt on Janc�ary 29, 1982, by encouragiag voluntary retirement of city employees who meet eligibility requirements. The parties agree to the incentive progra�a subject to the fol.lowing specific conditions: 1) The City of Saint Paul shall pay to any member of this bargaining unit, who meets the requiremeats for voluntarp retirement and who agrees to retire within tfie dates set forth below, an incentive of up to $5,000 provided that such retirement leads in an unbroken causal chain to the reinstatement of an employee who wo�Id etherwise 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 employee during the period of January 29, 1982, to April 30, 1982, inclusive.

If tbere is a delay between the employee's desired retirement date and the actual retirement date, and if such delay - is �caused by circumstances outside the employee's Control, the date of retirement, for purposes of calc�lating the amount of the incenti.ve, shall be the date the employee desired to retire. • � . - 3 - 5) The maximum incentive shall be $5,OQ0 and shall be availabe for retirement dates January 29, 1982 - February 14, 1982, inclusive.
