5 SECTION 5 - HIRING Applications for Employment and Publication of Notice Applications for employment shall be filed with the office of the City Administrator Clerk/HR Manager for all regular full-time and regular part-time employee job vacancies. The City Administrator may decline to accept applications, which are filed at a time when no job vacancies exist. The City Administrator is not required to accept applications for temporary employment. Regular Full-Time and Regular Part-Time Positions - Notice of all such vacancies shall be posted at City Hall for ten (10) days, and shall be published once in the legal newspaper on the City’s website at least ten (10) days prior to filling the vacancy. Existing employees will be eligible to apply. It is the intent of the City to hire the best-qualified employee, taking into account experience, qualifications, and references. Seasonal Employees - Persons with previous seasonal temporary work experience with the City and whose work performance was acceptable will be asked to return to their positions. Openings of 20 hours or more not filled by this practice will be advertised on an annual or seasonal basis. Openings of less than 20 hours per week may be filled at the discretion of the supervisor. Short-Term Temporary (Full-Time and Part-Time) - In cases involving short-term placement of personnel, advertising is not required. In this case, the position may be filled based on the availability of qualified personnel. A decision not to advertise will encompass considerations involving timing needs in filling the position and the cost of advertisement and screening in relation to the duration of the employment period. The City Administrator shall establish and maintain a position classification plan for all regular full- time and regular part-time positions. When a new position is created for which no appropriate position classification exists, or when the duties of an existing position are sufficiently changed so that no appropriate class exists, the City Administrator shall create a new class and cause an appropriate position classification to be written for said class. All position classifications are subject to review and approval by the City Council. Appointments In case of appointment to regular full-time and regular part-time employee positions, the City Council may appoint any person who meets the requirements listed in the position classification, whom the City Council deems qualified to perform the duties of the position and who has successfully completed a physical examination, if required. Exempt employees may make such appointments in the case of temporary employees, subject to review of such action by the City Council. No person shall henceforth be appointed to a position that would require direct supervision of such person's relative. A person shall be deemed to be a relative if such relationship is a brother, sister, spouse, lineal ancestor, lineal descendant, uncle, aunt, nephew, niece, first cousin, father-in-law, mother-in-law, brother-in-law, sister-in-law, son-in-law, daughter-in-law, or related by marriage through the relationship of a first cousin.
