the minimum requirements set forth in the job description. In
such cases, the temporary employee shall be displaced.
In the event the City's fiscal ability to maintain permanent
bargaining unit employees on the active payroll deteriorates,
management will promptly notify the Union. The parties to this
contract shall meet and negotiate if a reduction in force is to
be Implemented for the bargaining unit.
The parties agree there will be a 25% reduction in all
bargaining unit wage rates for those prospective employees hired

reduction in pay, at time of implementation of this provision.
Employees who are promoted or advanced within the second
tier of the two (2) tier pay plan shall not be prohibited from
