would need to be made that would impact "real" people if in re-evaluating the positions in two years, it was determined that the department couldn't substantiate cost savings. Councilmember Ihlan moved a friendly amendment to the motion, making a condition of approval contingent upon resolution of the double pension benefit issue and renewal of the fixed term positions; with action taken to eliminate double pension benefits for full-time firefighters within a specific time frame, suggested within the next 2-3 months.
