RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF NATIONAL CITY
AMENDING RULE IV, SECTION 407 OF THE CIVIL SERVICE RULES
AUTHORIZING THE CITY MANAGER TO GRANT
LIMITED TERM CAREER POSITIONS
WHEREAS, in order to expand the pool of qualified applicants for employment
with the City, the City Council recently created two new entry level classifications; to wit,
Accountant Trainee and Management Analyst Trainee, both of which classifications limit the
minimum requirements for employment with the City to a four year degree or relevant
administrative experience, thus creating professional level employment opportunities within the
City for recent college graduates, and those with less than journey -level experience; and
WHEREAS, when creating entry-level classifications, it is desirable to establish
promotional opportunities for employees as they gain more knowledge, skills, and abilities in
their jobs. In order to provide for such promotional opportunities, staff has proposed that Rules
I, II, and IV of the Civil Service Rules be amended to establish a Career Advancement Program,
under which employees could advance within the series in which they serve without going
through a competitive process, once they have demonstrated sufficient proficiency and
competence at their current level in their series.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the City Council of the City of
National City hereby approves the amendment of Rules I, II, and IV of the Civil Service Rules
authorizing the City Manager to grant limited term career positions, as set forth in the attached
Exhibit "A".

SECTION 407.1 - TYPES OF INITIAL APPOINTMENTS: The following are the types of
appointments for entry into the classified service:
A. CAREER APPOINTMENTS: An appointment shall be deemed a classified career
appointment, when the position is ongoing and is subject to the conditions of probation,
and thereafter subject to removal only by the procedures established by these rules.
The categories of career appointments are:
1. Regular/Career Appointment. Appointment to a classification which has been
established and funded by action of the Mayor and Council as a regular/career,
full time position and is expected to continue in successive budget years.
2. Part-Time/Career Appointment. Appointment to a classification which has
been established and funded by action of the Mayor and Council and is expected
to continue in successive budget years, but normally requires less than thirty (30)
hours of work per week average over the fiscal year.
3. Limited Term/Career Appointment. An appointment to a classification for a
specified duration of time and/or under circumstances that are anticipated to be
temporary. Employees appointed to these positions, after more than one (1) year
of full-time work, shall have the same Civil Service rights afforded to other career
employees except permanency under layoff procedures. Limited Term/Career
Appointments may be made under the following conditions:
a) For positions funded for a specific period, except appointments to fire safety
classifications on the operational staff which may not exceed six (6)
consecutive months, for a special project, grant, or program where there is a
clear understanding in writing that rights to employment are contingent upon
availability of funds or continuation of the program. (03/19/98)
b) For career positions that have been temporarily vacated as the result of
approved long term leave, defined as a period of one (1) year or more, the
City Manager at his/her discretion may appoint an eligible candidate to fill the
position for a period of time up to the duration of temporary vacancy. Upon
the return to duty of the Regular/Career incumbent, the Limited Term/Career
employee shall vacant the position. Individuals promoted to Limited
Term/Career Appointments shall demote back down to the last classification
held in a career status with no automatic or vested right to re-employment at
the higher level. If it is determined that the Regular/Career incumbent will not
return to duty, the status of the Limited Term/Career incumbent performing at
the level of Satisfactory or above shall be amended to Regular/Career without
competitive process.
