<br />e <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />. <br /> <br />City of Arden Hills Personnel Policy <br /> <br />Effective June 29, 2002 <br /> <br />RECRUITMENT AND SELECTION <br /> <br />All appointments in the municipal service shall be made according to job-relevant <br />qualifications, merits and fitness as determined by the City Council or City Administrator. <br />Appointments to municipal service shall be made by the Appointing Authority. <br /> <br />The basic recruitment and selection policies of the City are to take whatever measures <br />necessary to seek out and to encourage properly qualified individuals to apply for positions at <br />all levels of City service and to provide assurance that the best qualified applicants are <br />properly inducted into municipal service. No person shall in any way be favored or <br />discriminated against because of race, color, creed, age, marital status, sex, political opinion or <br />affiliation, disability, sexual orientation, or welfare assistance status. <br /> <br />In making a selection from among candidates to f1l1 vacancies, the City may use written, oral <br />or performance tests, an evaluation of training and experience, or any combination of these. <br />Investigations of background, character, education, experience or physical fitness may also be <br />required. <br /> <br />Any applicant or employee giving false or misleading information on an application form, <br />cheating on an examination, or falsifying a statement, certificate or evaluation shall not be <br />considered for employment or shall be subject to immediate dismissal. Fraud or attempts to <br />commit fraud which would preclude the City from impartially executing these provisions <br />shall be cause for the City to refuse to appoint an applicant or to dismiss an employee. <br /> <br />No person seeking employment or promotion shall, either directly or indirectly, attempt to <br />influence the City Administrator or City Council in any way with money, services, or other <br />remuneration. <br /> <br />The City does not restrict employment of more than one member of a family or persons <br />related by blood or marriage. However, to avoid conflict of interest, no City employee may <br />take part in decisions to hire, retain, promote or determine the salary of his/her immediate <br />family member. In addition, no City employee is to be assigned responsibility for supervising <br />and directing the work of his/her immediate family member. <br /> <br />Appointment to a position of municipal service shall not be construed to be a property right <br />of the employee. All employees are appointed by and serve at the sole discretion of the City <br />Council. <br /> <br />9 <br />
