Time is ticking away for Jacksonville firefighters to agree to a city-offered contract that would keep their pay the  same.

That offer will be on the table only until the two sides meet for their next  negotiating session, in early July.

If it's rejected, city labor attorney Derrel Chatmon said following a  Wednesday morning negotiating session, the city's next offer will likely include  a pay cut.

An earlier offer by the city also included cutting out extra pay earned by emergency medical  technicians. That clause was jettisoned from the offer now under discussion  but could come back in a different deal.

The offer on the table keeps salaries where they are by reinstating a 2 percent cut firefighters agreed to two years ago that  would otherwise expire at the end of this fiscal year.
