Any department manager or similarly situated employee as designated by Council aggrieved by the final determination of the City Manager may appeal grievances involving dismissals or suspensions for periods of longer than three (3) days or eligibility rulings to the Personnel Advisory and Appeals Board within thirty (30) days of the final determination of the City Manager.
All decisions of the Personnel Advisory and Appeal Board shall be final. (Amended 11-7-00; 11-8-05; 11-2-10)
