required leave each year and retains a sufficient number of hours in his leave bank to
cover unforeseen medical emergencies or accidents; and
WHEREAS, the administration wishes to establish a policy prohibiting the

establishing criteria for eligibility to participate as a recipient of such a program;

diminished or alleviated by cash-in of accrued annual leave.
C. In documented cases of unforeseen financial emergencies, consistent
with city policies of deferred compensation cash-in, the city manager may authorize
the city to purchase an employee's accrued annual leave at his current rate of pay,
provided that in no case shall a cash-in be allowed to reduce an employee's accrued
