service in good standing shall file with his supervisor or department head,
at least fourteen days before leaving, a written resignation stating the
effective date of the resignation and the reason for leaving. Failure to
comply with this procedure may be considered cause of denying such employee
future employment by the municipality and denying terminal leave benefits.
Unauthorized absence from work for a period of five working days may be
considered by a department head as a resignation without benefits.
Subd. 2. Lay-off. The city manager may lay off any employee whenever
such action is necessary because of shortage of work or funds, the abolition
of a position, or changes in organization; provided, however, that two weeks
advance written notice shall be given to the employee. However, no permanent
employee shall be laid off while there are temporary employees serving in the
same class of position for which the permanent employee is qualified, eligible
and available. Length of service in the same position class may be given
consideration.
Subd. 3. Retirement Age. The retirement age for all employees of the city
except elected officials but including the city manager, city attorney and
health officer, notwithstanding the provisions of Section 2.28, Subdivision
5, shall be [age 65 subject to the following provisions:] as provided in the
Age Discrimination and Employment Act of 1967, P.L. 90.202, as amended P.L.

tained therein, such retirement age shall be subject to the following
provisions•
[(1) Any employee except police and firemen other than the heads of
these departments who was over 60 years of age on April 1, 1967, shall be
eligible to continue in the employment of the city until April 1, 1972,
or until reaching age 70, whichever is earlier unless a medical examination
of such an employee discloses that the employee's ability to perform the
duties of his position has been impaired by reason of any physical illness
or deficiency in which case the employee shall be retired.]
[(2) Any employee except police and firemen other than the heads of
these departments of the city as of April 1, 1967, shall be eligible to
continue in the employment of the city until he has accumulated 20 years
of service with the city or until he has reached age 70, whichever is
earlier, but this provision shall not require retirement before age 65
unless a medical examination of such an employee discloses that the em-
ployee's ability to perform the duties of his position has been impaired
by reason of any physical illness or deficiency in which case the employee
shall be retired.]
[(3) Any employee retained in the municipal service beyond the age of
65 years under the provisions of the two preceding paragraphs, or rein-
stated or appointed from a reemployment list after said age, shall be
required to submit a satisfactory report of medical examination by a
physician approved or designated by the city manager which shows the
employee to be physically and mentally able to perform the duties of
his position.]
[(4)] Where the city manager finds that the continued employment
of an employee beyond age [65 not covered under the preceding paragraphs]
70 would be of special benefit to the city, he may extend such retirement
age on a year-to-year basis not to exceed the age of [70] 75, upon receipt
of adequate medical information indicating the employee is in good health
and able to perform his work. Upon written notice to the employee, the
city manager may cancel a deferral of retirement at any time.
[(5)] The city may require verification of the age of any employee,
and failure of the employee to provide such verification shall permit the
city to determine that such employee has reached the age of mandatory
retirement. Failure to provide verification in the form requested shall
be grounds for dismissal.
[(6)] Employees will retire at the end of the month in which
they reach retirement age.
