The enhancements to be removed include the following: elimination of the consolidated annual leave bank; elimination of the provision whereby the City pays the entire cost of family health and dental coverage, elimination on an annual deferred compensation contribution, and elimination of a fully paid Long Term Care and Disability Insurance package. Further, Mr. Barber will not receive the 5% salary differential which was previously provided to serve as the Executive Director of the Redevelopment Agency. 33 -1
