OF FRIDLEY WHO ARE CALLED TO SERVICE DURING THE CURRENT CONFLICT
BETWEEN IRAQ AND THE UNITED STATES AND ITS ALLIES
1HEREAS, the United States of America and its allies are involved in a
conflict with Iraq which has necessitated the involuntary call -up to active
military duty of members of the National Guard, the Military Reserve, and
persons retired from military service; and
WHEREAS, persons so called to active military duty frequently suffer from a
reduction of their wages and benefits, thus bearing a disproportionate share
of the burden of the present conflict; and

support the men and women of our military forces who are involved in the
present conflict;

involuntarily to active military service during the present conflict with

192.26 and following the fulfillment of any of the City's
obligations therein, for a period not to exceed six (6) months from
the first day of lost employment by the City directly due to such
' involuntary call to active military service, the City shall pay the
difference between the employee's total military compensation and
the regular wages which the employee otherwise would have received
from the City.
2. For those employees who are eligible for the flexible benefit
program and who wish to continue in it during their involuntary
military service, for a period not to exceed six (6) months from
the first day of lost employment by the City directly due to such
involuntary call to active military service, the City shall
continue its contribution to whichever option had been chosen prior

by the City Council of the City of Fridley.
