In order to establish an equitable and uniform system for dealing with personnel matters, and to comply with applicable laws relating to the administration of personnel, a personnel system is adopted. The personnel system shall be administered in accordance with the personnel rules adopted pursuant to Section 2.32.020.
(Ord. 87-24 § 1)
Personnel rules shall be adopted by resolution of the city council and may be amended from time to time by subsequent resolution. The personnel rules shall establish regulations governing the personnel system, including, but not necessarily limited to, the following:
A. 
Employer-employee relations, employee organizations and implementation of the Meyers-Milias-Brown Act (Government Code Section 3500 et seq.);
B. 
Employment practices, procedures, standards and qualifications; employee types, wage classes and classification plan; and separation and reinstatement of employees;
C. 
Terms and conditions of employment, hours and overtime, benefits, leaves of absence, standards of conduct and discipline and grievance procedures.
(Ord. 87-24 § 2)
The city manager shall administer the personnel system consistent with the personnel rules, and may delegate any of the powers, duties and responsibilities to any other officer or employee as he or she deems appropriate. The city manager, or designee, shall:
A. 
Act as appointing authority for the city;
B. 
Administer the provisions of this chapter and of the personnel rules;
C. 
Prepare and recommend to the city council personnel rules and revisions and amendments to such rules;
D. 
Prepare a position classification plan in accordance with the personnel rules and revisions to the plan;
E. 
Take other action relating to the personnel system as directed by the city council.
(Ord. 87-24 § 3)
A. 
The provisions of this chapter and of the personnel rules shall apply to all city employees, except as provided by Sections 31, 32 and 33 of Yolo County Local Agency Formation Commission Resolution No. 85-13 (adopted October 14, 1985), attached to the ordinance codified in this chapter as Exhibit A and incorporated herein, and except as provided by subsections B and C of this section.
B. 
In the case of an irreconcilable conflict between a provision of this chapter or of the personnel rules and a provision of a duly adopted memorandum of understanding, including memoranda of understanding that remain in effect on the effective date of the ordinance codified in this chapter and that were adopted by the former East Yolo Community Services or East Yolo Fire Protection Districts, the provision of the memoranda of understanding shall prevail.
C. 
City employees who were first employed by the city between January 1, 1987 and the date of adoption of the personnel rules authorized by this chapter (not including employees with an express written contract or former East Yolo Community Services or East Yolo Fire Protection Districts employees), were employed subject to terms and conditions of employment as set forth in the Yolo County Code, Title 2, Chapter 6, which was adopted by the city as an interim measure until the city adopted its own personnel system and personnel rules. Consequently, for this group of employees, they shall be entitled to retain the benefits, if any, that were accrued under the Yolo County Code during this interim period (i.e., date of employment after January 1, 1987 to date of adoption of personnel rules).
D. 
Except as provided by subsections A, B and C of this section, after the date of adoption of the personnel rules, all city employees shall be subject to and accrue benefits pursuant to the provisions of this chapter and of the personnel rules.
