The 25% reduction would not include any Workmen's Compensation time or lengthy sick leave for a twelve month period beginning on January 1st of a given year, and ending December 31st of that year, and will be renegotiated based on sick leave usage at the end of the first year. The allowing of three (3) men per shift off on vacation is predicated on a complement of eighty-two personnel in suppression. A decrease in the personnel complement below eighty-two due to economic reasons will require a re-evaluation of the above procedure. B. Vacation Conversion. In accordance with Resolution No. 5134, Section 17, and City Council policy established January 7, 1980, Fire Association employees who would otherwise lose vacation days during any single year because of the City's inability to schedule annual accrued vacation usage for everyone, may convert the number of days over and above what they aze able to take off to cash, up to a maximum of seven (7) days per calendar year. Additionally, the Fire Chief, with the City Manager's approval, may extend this benefit to classified employees when it is to the City's benefit and the Fire Chief believes the circumstances warrant it. C. Vacation Relief. Firefighters with twelve (12) or more years of continuous service will be exempt from vacation relief duty with the stipulation that if insufficient numbers of Firefighters of less than twelve (12) years of continuous service are available for vacation relief, those members with twelve or more years of service who must assume relief will be selected based upon those with the least amount of seniority first.
