(a) Fitness for Duty. The City reserves the right to require an employee to participate in a health examination to determine the employee's fitness to perform his or her essential job functions, or at the time of employment offer, or at any time during employment the supervisor or City Manager deems necessary. All such health exams shall be paid for by the City.

(c) Training.
(1) To promote both effectiveness and coordination, the City may require "cross-training" of employees. In addition to having learned to competently perform specified duties, employees are to familiarize themselves with other City activities, division, and departments.
(2) The City will pay the cost of obtaining all required state licenses and renewals and required CDL endorsements, which are required by the City or any applicable State of Ohio agency.
