It has been necessary, as 2r.nounced by the Mayor on January 6, 1982, to make permanent personnel reductions affecting numerous city employees as of January 29, 1982. � It is r ecognized by the parties ta this agreement that eff ects detri- � mental to the city and its employees flow from these parmanent personneZ reductiions. In order to minimize these detrimental effects, the pzrties have agreed to establish an incentive program to facilitate reinstatemen.t of employees who would have otherwise been without employment on Januarg 29, 1982, by encouraging voluntary retirement of city empioyees who meet ' el�gib3lity requirements. The parties agree to the incentive program su6ject to the foZlowi.ng apecific conditions: i) The Citq vf Saint Paul shall pay to anp nember of this � bArgaininp unit, who meets the requiremeAts for voluntary retirement and who agrees to retire within the dates set forth beZow, an �ncentive of up to $5,000 provided that sueh retirexnent lea.ds in an unbroken causal chain to the Y�iustatement Df an employee who would otherwise be without employment on January 29, 1982, as a reseslt of - the permauent personnel reductions. • - 2 _ 2) The incentive shall be available to any eligible emplo}ee during the period of January 29, 1982, to April 30, 1982, inclusive.

Such termination shall occur the day of the reinstatement of the Iast affected e�epJ.oyee. 3) Any employee wishing to take advantage of this incentive must submit his or her request for retiretnent, along wi.th necessary supporting documents, to his or her appointment officer within the time period mentioned above. . 4) The date of retirement, for purposes of calculating the amount of the incentive, shall be the.date the employee actually retires, not the dafie that intent to retire is cammunicated to the appointing officer, If there is a de3.ay between the employee's desired retirement date and the actual retirement date, and if such delay is eaused by circumstances outside the employee's control, the date of retirement, for purposes o£ cal�ulating the amount of the incentive, shall be the date the employee desired to retire. - 3 - 5) The maximum incentive shall be $5,000 and shall be availabe for retirement dates January 29, 1982 - February 14, 1982, inclusive. Com.mencing cn February 15, 1982, and at the beginning of business each Monday thereafter and continuing through the term of this program, the amount of the incentive � sha�.l be reduced $100.
