Section 1939-E. Employees of the authority

1. The authority shall hire its
  employees independently of the city. The authority will  negotiate  with
  unions  independently  of the city, however, any union contract shall be
  subject to ratification by the common council by majority vote. Salaries
  of non-union employees will be set by the authority  within  the  budget
  restrictions  set  by  the  common  council. Discipline and dismissal of
  employees shall be a responsibility of the authority not the city.
    2. Along with its  proposed  budget,  a  schedule  setting  forth  the
  titles,  job  descriptions and compensation for all employment positions
  for the next fiscal year shall accompany the budget. There shall  be  no
  additional, permanent salaried positions created by the authority during
  any fiscal year without prior common council approval.
