Sec. 21-2. - Adoption and amendment of the plan.
(a)   All positions in the urban county government, except those exempted from the "civil service" by KRS 67A.210 and from the "classified civil service" by Charter section 9.02, shall be in the classified civil service, and shall be grouped into classifications as defined in 21-1(3).
(b)   The urban county council shall fix, by ordinance, the number and classification of the urban county classified civil service positions and the salaries for each classification. This shall be known as the "classified civil service authorized strength."
(c)   All subsequent additions, revisions or amendments affecting the classified civil service plan shall be made by ordinance. The council shall not initiate or enact any such change without first securing the written recommendations of the mayor, the chief administrative officer and the director. The director shall consult with and seek the advice of the commission on all matters pertaining to the subsequent revision of the classified civil service plan.
(d)   The director shall, under the direction of the chief administrative officer, periodically review the positions in the classified civil service and recommend to the urban county council the reallocation of positions from one pay grade to another pay grade or reclassification from one class to another class when it is determined, subject to review by the commission, that the classification and/or pay grade is no longer consistent with the actual work performed; however, no civil service employee shall be dismissed, suspended or reduced in grade or pay for reason except as set out in KRS 67A.280 and sections 21-44 and 21-45 hereof.
