   In addition to the compensation authorized by Tucson Code Section 10-31, eligible fleet service employees trained and certified within the ASE program will receive a pay increase of fifty-seven cents ($.57) per hour for each certification obtained with a maximum of four (4) certifications per employee (two dollars and twenty-eight cents ($2.28) per hour) per year, while participating in the program.
   (a)   To receive ASE certifications, eligible fleet services employees must comply with all ASE requirements and re-test every five (5) years to maintain the certification. The city will pay the registration and testing fee(s) associated with each approved ASE certification or renewal.
