Chapter 3 of the Temple City Municipal Code, clarifying and expanding the list of
positions excluded from City Service (Attachment "C").
ANALYSIS:
Over the last three years the City Manager has put together his core management staff
that includes all management positions with the exception of the Public Safety Officer. All
positions are at -will and excluded from City service, as the terms of their employment are
governed by agreement. In order for all positions within the management staff to be
consistent, staff is recommending the Public Safety Officer also be excluded from City
Service, be at -will and the terms of employment of the position be governed by an
employment agreement.
Section 2303 of Chapter 3 of Title 2 of the Temple City Municipal Code, recently
amended, provides that the personnel system shall apply to all offices, positions and
employments in the service of the City with the exception of elective officers, City
Manager, City Attorney, members of appointive boards, commissions, committees and
persons engaged under contract to supply expert professional or technical services for a
definite period of time, part-time and other temporary officers or employees, Director of
Parks and Recreation, Director of Community Development, City Clerk, Economic
Development Manager/Assistant to the City Manager, Administrative Services Director,
Public Safety and Services Manager, Executive Assistant to the City Manager and
Planning Manager. An additional amendment to this Section to include the Public Safety
Officer as an at -will employee is necessary.
