Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual
7.22 Separation
No classified employee shall be discharged or transferred to a position of Tess
remuneration because of a person's race, religion, sex, color, creed, national origin,
sexual orientation, ancestry, age, marital or veteran status, or non job related
physical or mental disability , or as a result of changes in City elected officers, the
governing body, or heads of departments. Classified employees serve for an
indefinite duration, and may be discharged at any time for causes which include,
but are not limited to, curtailment or lack of funds, lack of work, violations of state
law, violations of City ordinances, violations of these personnel policies,
insubordination, or the like. Every classified employee that is discharged may seek
an administrative appeal of that action, as provided under Article IX of these
policies.
7.23 Resignation
To resign in good standing, every employee must give the department head at least
fourteen (14) calendar days' prior notice, unless the department head, because of
extenuating circumstances, agrees to permit a shorter notice period. A written
resignation shall be submitted to the department head, giving the reasons for
leaving. Failure to give the required notice may be entered in the employee's
service record and may be cause for denial of future employment with the City.
When no notice is given, the employee will be paid through the last day worked.
7.24 Retirement
Employees may retire from service by complying with the conditions of the
retirement system. For exempt status post -retirement employees who retired prior
to August 15, 2005, the City shall make a payment to a defined contribution plan
in the same manner as provided for by Utah Retirement System guidelines for non-
exempt status post -retirement employees.
7.25 Statutory Appointees.
Statutory Appointees are City employees appointed by the Mayor and confirmed
by action of the Governing Body, including the Recorder, Treasurer, Public Works
Director, and Police Chief. Statutory appointees, also described as department
heads, are entitled to all benefits accorded classified service employees generally
with regard to pay, benefits, leave, equal employment opportunity, and the like,
except that statutory appointees are not entitled to the grievance and discharge
procedures defined in Articles VII, VIII, and IX, herein. Statutory appointees are
also not entitled to the appeal procedures described in U.C.A. 10-3-1105 et seq.
(A) Statutory appointees serve at the pleasure of the Mayor and the Governing

MOAB CITY COUNCIL MEETING
April 12,2o16
Agenda Item
#: 7-10
Title: Approval of Proposed Resolution #11-2016 — A Resolution Amending the
Moab Personnel Policies and Procedures Manual
Fiscal Impact: cost will be addressed in the FY 2016-2017 budget
Staff Presenter(s): Rebecca Davidson, City Manager
Department: Administration
Applicant: n/a
Background/Summary: With the departure of our Public Works Director, the
Mayor and I discussed the position as it is currently written with its
responsibilities. This position is currently noted in our personnel manual as a
mayoral appointment as shown in the attachment.
From that discussion, the Mayor and I agreed that the position should be "split"
into two (2) positions: Utilities Director, and Streets and Facilities Director.
The Utilities Director would focus on sewer, water, storm drainage, and sewer
treatment. The Streets and Facilities Director would manage streets, parks,
facilities and safety. With the amount of work expected in the area of
maintenance and operations, I believe this to be prudent and most effective to
have two (2) persons directing specific focus areas.
I am requesting that Council approve the change in the Personnel manual to
remove the Director as an appointed position and approve the splitting of the
Public Works Director position into two (2) different positions of Utilities Director
and Streets and Facilities Director.
Options: Approve, Deny or Table
Staff Recommendation: Approve
Recommended Motions: Approve
