2. Will be employed only in line-level positions.
3. Will be limited to working a total of nine hundred sixty (960) hours per year.
4. Will work at the discretion of the Chief of Police and are "at will" employees.
6. Any employee who has previously separated from employment with the city will be
required to undergo and pass both a background investigation and a medical
examination. Permanent full-time employees who retired and immediately became
reserve officers are exempt from this requirement.
6. Positions in this program will not be available to employees who have previously
received any type of disability retirement.

1. Program participants will be compensated at the base rate currently being earned by
the "E-step Police Officer" position as enumerated in the current Memorandum of

CONDITIONS:
Participants in this program may be assigned to any unit in the police department at the
discretion of the Chief of Police. The intent is to primarily place participants in the
Uniform Division, Patrol Bureau and the Administrative Operations Division, Personnel
Unit.
Effort will be made to avoid placing a program participant in a highly desirable slot in the
Patrol Schedule.
It is not the intent of this program to permanently replace any permanent full-time
positions through the use temporary part-time employees.
The Chief of Police may discontinue this job program at any time. Specifically, at such
time as he deems our staffing levels to be appropriately filled by Permanent Full-time
Staff.
DURATION:
The City and the HBPOA agree to enter into this agreement for a three (3) year trial
period that will begin when the first participant in the program begins working a shift.
