If Mr. Kay is terminated by the City Council, or the City Manager is permitted by the City Council to retain his position upon return from paid administrative leave, Mr. Kay will have the right to revert to his previously held position as the Assistant City Manager and will be entitled to receive the salary and benefits commensurate with that position, at the salary step he was receiving or due to receive prior to his appointment.
