§ 2-68. Classification plan.

The director of human resources shall, at least biennially, review and prepare, after consultation with all officials having the power of appointment, and submit to the city manager a plan of classification and grading, containing job descriptions for all positions in the classified service according to similarity of authority, duties and responsibilities. Within ninety (90) days after the submission of the plan, the city manager shall reject or approve the same, with or without modifications. Once approved, the city manager shall cause the classification plan to be published or otherwise distributed among the employees of the city. Changes in the classification plan may be recommended from time to time by any appropriate city official and shall take effect after review and recommendation by the director of human resources and when approved by the city manager. The class titles set forth in the most recently approved classification plan shall be used to designate such positions in all official records, documents, vouchers and communications, and no person shall be appointed to or employed in a position in the classified service under any class title which has not been recommended by an appropriate city official and established in the current classification plan.
