[CC 1996 §105.080]
A. 
The classification plan shall provide an inventory of all positions in the City service which are sufficiently alike in duties and responsibilities to be called by separate job titles, to be accorded the same pay scale and to require substantially the same qualifications on the part of the incumbents.
B. 
No City employee shall be classified or paid at a salary rate which is not established and recognized in the City's classification and pay plans. All permanent classifications shall be established by the City Council.
[CC 1996 §105.090]
A. 
The department heads shall prepare and maintain a job description for each classification which shall include a job title, example of duties, desirable knowledge and skills, any special requirement, suggested training and experience and related information.
B. 
The City has established the following guidelines that shall apply to job descriptions:
1. 
Their primary purpose is for establishing rate of pay.
2. 
The duties listed in a job description are not set forth for the purpose of limiting the job assignment; however, the job assignment made to an employee shall be made within their classification in so far as practical.
3. 
Their secondary purpose is informative.
4. 
Duties under the job description are not necessarily to be considered as a complete list of the many duties normally to be performed under the job title; however, the job descriptions should list all of those responsibilities and skills for which the employee is paid the rate of his/her labor grade. Basically, job descriptions should be brief but must list the primary duty or duties.
[CC 1996 §105.100]
When there arises a need to establish a new classification, the department head shall prepare a recommended job description and submit it to the City Council.
[CC 1996 §105.110]
A. 
When a vacancy occurs, the department head shall review the job description of the position. In cases when he/she determines a need for changes in duties and responsibilities of a position, he/she shall modify the job description prior to authorizing the filling of the vacancy.
B. 
If a department is reorganized, preliminary job description for all affected employees shall be submitted by the department head to the City Council.
C. 
Before a new classification is established by the City Council and before such a position is filled, a formal job description shall be written by the department head as provided for in these rules and incorporated in the existing plan. Likewise, an abolished classification shall be deleted from the position classification plan.
