While they do receive certain <br /> mandated benefits(such as worker's compensation, social security benefits, and for <br /> some,health care under the Act),they are not eligible for other City benefit programs <br /> with the exception of the positions listed below: <br /> All Attorneys employed in the City's Legal Department in part-time positions as well <br /> as all elected Council members are eligible for participation in all of the Employer's <br /> Benefit Programs. <br /> Section IV.
