Analysis
This ordinance updates the code to make it consistent with current employee benefit eligibility requirements. Specifically, the ordinance replaces the definition for a part-time employee with definitions for a half-time, more than half-time and less than half-time employee.
The ordinance also removes job titles which are not eligible for benefits from the code and instead specifies that job titles contained in the city salary ordinance, part 1, section 9: hourly, part-time, intermittent, will not be eligible for any benefits.
