Moore made the comments Monday night after the the City Council approved a first reading of an ordinance that would lower the total number of sick days for firefighters to use from 90 to 45. It's part of a three-year labor deal the city reached earlier this month with Firefighters Local 63. The ordinance also buys back 20 sick days for the Machinists Union and non-union city employees. Moore said the ordinance will help to lower the city's $1.8 million obligation for buy-backs, and he hopes to make the change to a PTO system before he leaves office in 2021.

Moore says that the city budgeted just under $650,000 this year for sick-day buy backs. He says he wants to shrink down the $1.8 million total obligation as much as possible.

The ordinance will be up for a final vote in two weeks.
