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.

If, during the Fiscal Year, the Executive Branch determines that the number of employees so mandated in any program can be reduced without substantially effecting the level of services to be provided, the Mayor may request an amendment to this Resolution to accomplish that reduction, and shall include with any request of that nature the reasons for the reduction and evidence as to the impact of that reduction upon the level of services provided.
