(Ord. 8626-1999. Passed 1-18-00.)
(b) Vacations. Vacation shall be taken in the calendar year following the calendar year in which it is earned, except that Police Chief, Police Captain, Fire Chief and Assistant Fire Chief may accumulate up to three times their annual vacation, provided that in no event shall such accumulation exceed ten weeks.
Accrued time in the vacation account of each Police Chief, Police Captain, Fire Chief and Assistant Fire Chief shall be paid to such officer at the rate of one-fifty second (1/52) of his or her current salary for each week, eight times his or her current hourly earning rate for each day, and the appropriate percentage of eight times his or her current hourly earning rate for each partial day, at the time of the Police Chief's, Police Captain's, Fire Chief's or Assistant Fire Chief's retirement, termination or resignation, or to his or her estate in the case of the Police Chief's, Police Captain's, Fire Chief's or Assistant Fire Chief's death.
(c) Contributions to Police and Firemen's Disability and Pension Fund. There shall be a pension "pick-up" plan which the Police Chief's, Police Captain's, Fire Chief's and Assistant Fire Chief's gross salary shall be reduced by the full amount of said contribution. The Police Chief's, Police Captain's, Fire Chief's and Assistant Fire Chief's contributions which are picked up by the City shall be treated in the same manner as contributions made by them prior to the commencement of the pick-up program and will, therefore, be included in compensation for the purposes of the Police and Firemen's Disability and Pension Fund benefit calculations, and for the purpose of fixing salaries and compensation of Police Chief, Police Captain, Fire Chief and Assistant Fire Chief, as set forth in this chapter. The City's contribution to the Police and Firemen's Disability and Pension Fund will be calculated on the full salary of Police Chief, Police Captain, Fire Chief and Assistant Fire Chief before the pick up is deducted from gross salary.
The City agrees that it will pay contributions required by the Police and Firemen's Disability and Pension Fund.
