Works and Safety to supplement an individual's Worker's Compensation payments to
permit the employee to receive his or her normal "take-home pay"; and

For that period during which employee Robbie L. Kinkead receives Worker's
Compensation payments for loss of wages due to surgery performed on September 25,

Compensation payments and his normal weekly net pay (based on 37.5 hours of work at
his current hourly rate).
Supplemental payments shall be made on a bi-weekly basis, and shall cease when Mr.
Kinkead's Worker's Compensation benefits for loss of wares cease.
The salary supplements paid by the City to Mr. Kinkead shall not extend beyond
November 7, 2003, unless an extension is approved by the Board of Public Works and
