(b) The City intends that this program will be utilized in the event that the municipal employee receiving the donation has a need for additional sick time due to a critical need due to a serious illness, injury, or condition to the municipal employee or an immediate family member.
(c) The City intends that the program will be utilized in the event that the municipal employee receiving the donation has a need for additional sick time due to circumstances which may be beyond his or her control.
