Use of Consultants. The Order of Layoff, as defined by Section 2, above, shall not be construed to prohibit the City from calling in consultants with specialized skills and/or certifications on a temporary basis, to perform tasks that cannot be performed by remaining City employees. The City agrees that in the event it needs such consultants, the City will attempt to use an employee on layoff status to perform the work on a temporary basis before bringing in a non-employee, provided the employee on layoff status is available when the City needs the work performed and possesses the specialized skill(s) and/or certifications required for the work. If more than one laid off employee meets all of the requirements of the temporary position, bargaining unit seniority shall be the determining factor.
