§ 36.007 ADMINISTRATION OF THE CITY PERSONNEL SYSTEM.
   (A)   The city’s policies are applied and enforced by the Mayor and supervisory employees.

Supervisory employees should provide continuous feedback to their employees regarding performance and should immediately address any potential infractions of these policies with employees.
   (B)   To ensure fairness and consistency in all personnel matters, the city has designated the Mayor and City Clerk to be responsible for general oversight of the city’s personnel system and for all centralized personnel matters, such as the recruitment and selection of employees, revision of job descriptions, wage and salary schedules, administration of benefit programs and maintenance of personnel records.
   (C)   Notification to the City Clerk, the Mayor and compliance with the procedures established by the city are required prior to a department supervisory employee or other employee conducting any interview for potential employment or internship, making any offer of employment or internship or making any modifications to the compensation or benefits of employees. No supervisory employee or other employee will alter, suspend or fail to enforce or adhere to the policies contained in this handbook.
