authorized by the Village or his or her authorized medical representative which shall be in
the form of the initial medical report in use by the Florida Industrial Commission and which

department head's action shall be subject to review by the Village Manager who may
approve or reverse the same.
Any employee receiving duty disability leave shall report to the Village physician
periodically at the times the said physical shall reasonably require. The failure of an
employee to appear for a scheduled physical examination shall be grounds for immediate
