Section 3. Code Amendment. Section 2905 (Appointments) of Chapter 9 (Personnel

"2905. Appointments. Appointments, demotions, dismissals, reductions in

City Manager and such persons may be discharged, demoted or otherwise
disciplined without notice, hearing or stated cause."
Section 4. Declaration of Urgency. The City Council has authorized the City
Manager to employ an Assistant to the City Manager. It is desirable to employ such an
individual at the earliest possible date in order to assist the City Manager with numerous
urgent projects which require attention on behalf of the City and its citizens. In order to
employ an Assistant to the City Manager who will serve at the pleasure of the City
Manager, it is necessary to amend the Municipal Code to place this new position outside
the scope of the City's classified or competitive service. These amendments must be in
effect before the position can be filled. Unless these amendments are adopted on an
urgency basis, it will be necessary to forego filling this position until the effective date of
a regular ordinance. This delay will negatively impact the City Manager's ability to attend
to these urgent projects to the detriment of the City and its citizens. This Ordinance is
therefore necessary for the immediate preservation of the public peace, health, safety and
welfare and shall take effect immediately.
PASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 15" day of December, 1998.
