A. The appointing power for all department heads shall be the city council. The term "department head" includes all those employees as described in Section 2.80.025(17).
B. Department heads are at-will employees, serving at the pleasure of the city council. All such employees are subject to termination by the city council at any time, with or without cause, and enjoy no right to any pretermination hearing whatsoever, including but not limited to any due process hearing such as discussed in Skelly v. State Personnel Board. In the event of termination, management employees' sole rights shall be to payment for any vested vacation or similar benefits, if any, conferred under the city's personnel system, and any rights conferred by statute.
