(B) Any employee who, in the opinion of the department head or the Mayor, becomes physically or mentally unable to perform his duties effectively for periods beyond those for which he is granted leave on account of illness shall be examined by a doctor approved by the City and at the City’s expense to determine if his condition is such as to warrant termination of employment.
