SECTION 2. To ensure the capacity of the City to provide an effective level of Municipal services which will meet the economic, physical and social needs of its citizens, residents, visitors and neighborhoods during the Fiscal Year for which this Resolution shall be in force, those positions designated by Section 3 of this Resolution shall remain filled for the entire Fiscal Year, subject to any reasonable time periods required to replace existing officers or employees who leave City employment for any reason during that Fiscal Year. There shall be no reduction in the number of filled positions so designated unless authorized by a Resolution amending this Budget Resolution, in accordance with Section 507 of the Home Rule Charter of Pittsburgh.
