<br />Council must review all reclassification recommendations made by the City <br />Administrator. Reclassification will be approved only by the City Council. <br /> <br />5.2 Promotion <br /> <br />Vacancies shall be filled by promotion of present employees who meet the <br />requirements established for the classification, when it is in the best interest of <br />the City, as determined by the discretion of the City. <br /> <br />5.3 Demotion <br /> <br />An employee may be demoted if found unsuited for the present position in the <br />City's discretion, but may be expected to perform satisfactorily as determined by <br />the City, in a position of having a lower pay range, rank or grade, and/or lesser <br />responsibility than previously held. An employee may also be demoted at the <br />discretion of the City, if his/her position has been abolished or reclassified and <br />he/she cannot be transferred to a position of equal pay for which they are <br />qualified and suited. <br /> <br />5.4 Reduction of Workforce <br /> <br />If it is deemed necessary at the discretion of the City, to reduce personnel, <br />temporary employees and those serving a probationary period in affected job <br />classes will be separated before regular employees. Within each of these <br />groups, the selection of employees to be retained shall be based on merit and <br />ability as determined by the City Administrator, subject to Council Approval. <br /> <br />The City may layoff any employee, at its discretion, whenever such action is <br />made necessary as provided in the annual budget by reason of shortage of work <br />or funds, the abolition of a position or because of changes in organization. Two <br />(2) weeks advance written notice of the lay-off shall be given. An employee may <br />be transferred to another position, at the City's discretion, if such employee is <br />qualified and a position is available. When a layoff occurs in a job classification <br />in which more than one employee serves, qualification and job performance, as <br />determined by the City, shall be the basis for determining which employees are <br />laid-off unless otherwise required by law. <br /> <br />Employees who have been laid off will be recalled to their former position <br />classification in the reverse order of their lay-off, if the City determines that such <br />a recall is appropriate. <br /> <br />The suspension and dismissal procedures outlined in "Discipline" of these <br />policies shall not apply to separation covered by reduction in force or layoff. <br /> <br />10 <br />
