As with any handicapping condition, the City will make reasonable
accommodations for an employee ae long as such accommodations are
practical and economically feasible, and in the best interest of the
employee and the business unit.
The City reserves the right to ask its appointed physician to examine an
employee with a life-threatening or catastrophic illness to determine that
