WHEREAS, with respect to the employees of the Public Utilities Department (PUD), the City has endeavored to provide with the benefits due to them, regardless of their employment status, for actual services rendered, subject to compliance with the rules, regulations and issuances from the Civil Service Commission, and has protected them from possible precipitate efforts to place them in a compromising position with the Commission on Audit and the Civil Service Commission when it officially sought confirmation from the Civil Service Commission as to the required legal protocols and guidelines;

WHEREAS, as full support and concern to P.U.D. employees, the city endeavored to provide them a special liberal consideration with a gratuity/separation package of one and a half (1½) months per year of service, for the actual services rendered, regardless of employment  status,  in a manner consistent with pertinent Civil Service Commission Rules and Regulations;

NOW, THEREFORE, on motion of City Councilor Gina Gulanes-Perez, with the unanimous accord of the Members of the Sangguniang Panlungsod present;

RESOLVED, AS IT IS HEREBY RESOLVED, by the Sangguniang Panlungsod in session assembled, to authorize as it hereby authorizes, the Honorable City Mayor James Gordon, Jr. to grant one and a half months  salary for every year of actual services  rendered  by the Public Utilities Department (PUD) Employee as Gratuity/Separation Package, Subject to Civil Service Rules and pertinent laws.
