employees will elect the original higher payout formula. This will result in sick leave payouts of
720 hours each for a total estimated additional cost of $175,000.
R-18-066 is unfair to 12 employees hired in the same 1995-2001 period who have already left
City employment. It is unfair for the City to grant expanded sick time payouts to younger
employees who are still working, while denying the extra payouts to older employees hired in the
same 1995-2001 time window who have retired a few months or a few years ago. Equalizing the
benefit for the 12 retired employees would cost another $152,000.
For these reasons I am vetoing R-18-066 and asking the members of the Board of Aldermen to
reconsider the vote taken on December 11, 2018.
