Those definitions set forth in chapter 3.30 of the Anchorage Municipal Code are adopted by reference as part of this chapter.
(AR No. 86-277, 1-1-1987)
A predisciplinary hearing, held pursuant to Anchorage Municipal Code section 3.30.103, shall be conducted informally and may be governed by such rules and procedures as the director may choose to establish, except that:
1. 
Parties may appear in person or through counsel.
2. 
Parties may present witnesses and evidence on their own behalf.
3. 
Parties or their counsel may cross-examine opposing witnesses on matters relevant to the issues, impeach witnesses regardless of which party first called the witness to testify, and rebut evidence against himself or herself.
4. 
Relevant evidence shall be admitted if it is the sort of evidence on which responsible persons are accustomed to rely in the conduct of serious affairs, regardless of the existence of a common law or statutory rule which makes improper the admission of the evidence over objection in a civil action. Hearsay evidence may be considered provided there are guarantees of its trustworthiness and that it is more probative on the point for which it is offered than any other evidence which the proponent can procure by reasonable efforts.
5. 
The hearing shall be open to the public, unless the employee or employer objects.
6. 
All parties shall have the right to subpoena witnesses and documents using a form provided by the municipal clerk and submitted to the clerk for issuance at least five working days before the date of the hearing.
7. 
The hearing shall be memorialized by an electronic recording or a stenographic record.
(AR No. 86-277, 1-1-1987)
A notice of intent to discipline required by Anchorage Municipal Code section 3.30.103 shall be personally delivered to the affected employee during his or her regular worktime, if practicable. Otherwise, a notice of intent to discipline shall be mailed to the employee at the last known residence address stated in his or her central personnel file. For the purpose of calculating the time allowed for the employee to elect to have a pre-disciplinary or post-disciplinary hearing under Anchorage Municipal Code section 3.30.103, the mailed notice shall be deemed to be received by the employee on the third day following the date on which it is mailed.
