body
WHEREAS, the City of Aurora has a population of more than 25,000 persons and is, therefore, a home rule unit under subsection (a) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution of 1970; and
 
WHEREAS, subject to said Section, a home rule unit may exercise any power and perform any function pertaining to its government and affairs for the protection of the public health, safety, morals, and welfare; and
 
WHEREAS, in furtherance of same, the City Council has, from time to time, adjusted such salaries and benefits and does so now intend in some instances to revise same, having given due consideration to all pertinent factors and budgetary limitations.
 
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of Aurora, Illinois, as follows:
 
I)      That the provisions of the Non-Exempt Salary and Benefit Plan as attached hereto are effective upon ratification of the 2015 City Budget, beginning with Payroll No. 1, 2015 unless otherwise indicated in the plan.
 
II)      That all resolutions or policies providing different salaries or benefits from the attached plan will be set aside, effective Payroll No. 1, 2015, insofar as any difference or conflict may exist.
 
III)      That all benefits adopted hereunder are unilaterally granted by the City as voluntary benefits to qualifying employees and shall remain in effect as herein provided only until such further action of the City Council shall amend or abolish same. No property or contractual right shall vest in any employee by the term of said plans or as a result of the adoption of this resolution. Provided, however, that upon separation from employment, qualifying employees shall be entitled only to the payment of benefits in accordance with the terms of any said Plan in effect at such time of separation
