City Attorney Joe Leahy asked Councilor Burge to amend his motion
based on discussion at the Executive Session. Mr. Leahy referred to
the fact that the sick leave payoff provision may be impermissible if

motion needed to reflect that the Council could not violate the
requirements of Ballot Measure 8 if passed, by allowing the sick leave
reimbursement to enhance retirement benefits.
COUNCILOR BURGE AMENDED HIS MOTION TO READ: ACCEPT THE TENTATIVE
AGREEMENT WITH THE INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF FIRE FIGHTERS (IAFF)
