The purpose of this chapter is to establish a comprehensive code for personnel management and administration. It is subject to review, revision and change at the sole discretion of the city.

    This code should not be construed as and does not constitute a contract, express or implied, guaranteeing employment for any specific duration, and the city expressly reserves the right to terminate employment at any time consistent with law.

    This code shall apply to all city employees, except those represented by a labor organization for purposes of collective bargaining and/or those specifically exempted.

    No city official shall have the authority to enter into any agreement relating to employment for any specified period of time or to make any promises or commitments contrary to the foregoing or to the provisions of this code, except as may be made by written agreement between an employee and the city, subject to approval by the city council. (Ord. 1121 § 1 (part), 1993: prior code § 10-1)
