(1) 
Transfers from one position to another may be made as deemed appropriate by the City.
(2) 
A transferred employee shall retain all pay and accrued benefits, including vacation, sick leave and retirement.

An employee desiring to terminate the employment relationship with the City is urged to notify the City at least two weeks in advance of their intended termination. Such notice should be given in writing to the employee's department head. Proper notice allows the City sufficient time to calculate all accrued benefits and/or moneys to which the employee may be entitled.
An employee who plans to retire is urged to provide the City with a minimum of two months' notice. This will allow ample time for the processing of appropriate pension forms to ensure that any retirement benefits to which an employee may be entitled commence in a timely manner.
Although the City hopes that its relationship with each employee is long-term and mutually rewarding, the City reserves the right to terminate the employment relationship as deemed appropriate.
