However, temporary appointments may be made or extended to a limit of twenty-five (25) months with the mutual agreement of the parties. If the parties do not mutually agree to extend a temporary beyond six (6) months to a maximum of twenty-five months, such extension may be approved by the City Council after review by the Personnel Board for extension up to twenty-five (25) months. However, temporary appointments resulting from workers compensation, parental leave, or other authorized leaves of absence, shall be limited to the term of the leave but not in any case exceed twenty-five (25) months.
