ON THE QUESTION
Alderman Dowd
And I'd like to speak to it. Yes, we have Deputy Chief Testaverde here and he can give us an overview. |
have been working with the Chief and the Deputy Chief on getting this very important legislation passed
this evening because it is COVID related. Deputy Chief, would you please take over?
Jim Testaverde, Deputy Police Chief
Thank you, how’s everyone doing tonight? Thank you for having me. The current contract (inaudible) carry
over 5 vacation days into the next year up until May 1°. Once you hit May 1* it either goes into your bank
for retirement or you forfeit the days. We currently have 58 employees in these two unions that have
anywhere from 1 to 5 days that they are not using purposely because of the pandemic and we greatly
appreciate the fact that they are not just sitting Nome burning the days when we need them to come to
work. So therefore we don’t want to penalize them for it. At the same time we didn’t want them to be able
to carry it indefinitely so we set an expiration date of October 1°
Alderman Dowd
Thank you Deputy Chief. This is truly fairness to the City and to the Officers involved so | ask that we pass
this, this evening.
President Wilshire
The motion is to suspend the rules, so did we already vote on that?
Alderman Dowd
Not yet.
President Wilshire
Ok so the motion is to suspend the rules. Any further discussion on that? Alderwoman Lu.
Alderwoman Lu
Thank you, Madam Chairman. Do we have discussion on the bill itself?
