Specific Authority: Chap. 2.72 MMC; Resolution No. 2014-06
In order that the Executive service meets its primary objective of supporting the mission of the City Manager, it is the intent of the City Council that the classification plan for the Executive service be administered in a manner which gives the City Manager the widest possible latitude, consistent with law and policy.
The classification plan comprises: 1) the list of positions in the Executive service; and 2) the classification specifications describing the general duties, responsibilities, performance measures, and personal and professional qualifications which incumbents in the respective positions should possess for each such position.
By describing essential job functions, duties, responsibilities, desirable qualifications, and internal relationships, the classification plan forms the basis for establishing and maintaining a compensation plan which is internally equitable.
Class specifications are descriptive and explanatory and are not necessarily inclusive of all duties performed. They are intended to indicate the types of duties and levels of responsibilities assigned to each position or group of like positions. The use of a particular specification as to duties, qualifications or other factors shall not be held to exclude others of similar kind or quality.
As the needs of the Executive service require, the City Manager shall make such amendments to the official classification plan as, in his judgment, are necessary and convenient to the discharge of his duties and responsibilities.
(a) 
The same principles as govern its general purposes and original preparation shall apply also to amendments to the classification plan.
No incumbent in any position in the Executive service affected by amendment under this Article shall have any continuing right to his position, neither in the form it existed before nor after its modification, except the City Manager appoint him to such position.
(a) 
Any incumbent who occupies a position modified pursuant to this Article, and whom the City Manager does not appoint to the modified position, shall be deemed separated from the Executive service.
(b) 
The City Manager may make such promotions, demotions, and reassignments, whether temporary or permanent, of any incumbent in the Executive service as, in his discretion, are necessary and convenient to the discharge of his duties and responsibilities and the needs of the service.
