EXHIBIT A
1.02 COVERAGE
These rules apply to employees in the Competitive Service, unless a broader coverage
is expressly extended by a specific provision within these rules.
The Competitive service includes all full-time and part-time positions except the
following:
A. General Manager and Assistant General Manager
B. Temporary Employees and part time employees working less than 30 hours
per week.
The General Manager, Assistant General Manager, and individuals described in Section
1.02(B), above, are at-will employees of the District and serve at the will of the General
Manager, or in the case of the General Manager, at the will of the Board of Directors,
and may be dismissed without cause or right of appeal.
These Rules supersede any and all District or Departmental personnel management
policies, rules, regulations and procedures previously adopted, to the extent that they
are inconsistent.
If any section, sub-section, sentence, clause or phrase of these Rules is found to be
illegal, such findings shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of these Rules.
These Rules do not create any contract of employment, expressed or implied, or any
rights in the nature of a contract.
3.02 CLASSIFICATION CHANGES
When a new position is proposed for creation in the Competitive Service or an existing
one is reclassified or abolished, the manager proposing such action must submit the
justification to the Personnel Officer who shall conduct whatever study may be required.
The General Manager or Personnel Officer representative may initiate, at any time, a
study to determine the appropriateness of any position's classification allocation. The
General Manager shall make the final determination on all actions arising under this
provision, subject to ratification by the Board of Directors at the next available regular
Board meeting when the determination results in an amendment to the Plan.
The District shall provide affected recognized Bargaining Units an information copy of
the new class specification for any proposed classification relevant to that Bargaining
Unit.
