<br />10. Emergency Temporary Appointments <br /> <br />During an emergency, if City employees are unable to provide the necessary <br />services, the City Manager may immediately fill positions without regard to <br />normal selection and appointment methods. Such appointments shall be for <br />periods not to exceed 30 working days. Persons receiving emergency temporary <br />appointments are not eligible for benefits other than worker's compensation <br />coverage. <br /> <br />11. Benefits <br /> <br />Regular full-time employees are eligible to receive the full scope and level of <br />benefits offered by the City. <br /> <br />Regular part-time employees are not eligible to receive any benefits other than <br />worker's compensation coverage. <br /> <br />Temporary employees, whether full-time, part-time or emergency temporary <br />appointments, are not eligible to receive any benefits other than workers' <br />compensation coverage. <br /> <br />12. Introductory Employment Period <br /> <br />Department Directors and supervisors shall use the 6-month (1-year for Civil <br />Service) Introductory Employment Period to closely observe and evaluate the <br />employee and if necessary recommend corrective actions to better fulfill the <br />expectations of the job description. Only those employees who maintain <br />acceptable work performance during their introductory periods shall be retained. <br />The City's Review of Disciplinary Action Policy does not apply to anyone <br />terminated during the introductory employment period. <br /> <br />An introductory employee's employment period may be extended up to an <br />additional 60 days. Any introductory employment extensions must have the City <br />Manager's approval prior to any action being taken. <br /> <br />13 Nepotism <br /> <br />No person related, within the second degree affinity, or within the third degree by <br />consanguinity, to the Mayor or any Councilperson or to the City Manager shall be <br />employed or appointed to any office, position, or clerkship of the City. This <br />prohibition shall not apply, however, to any person who shall have been <br />employed for 6 months or more by the City at the time of the election or <br />appointment of the officer to whom he or she is related.
