The City Manager shall be responsible for the proper maintenance of the Plan so that it shall reflect continuously on a current basis, the duties being performed by each employee in the City and the class to which each position is allocated.
The City Manager shall make necessary amendments to the Plan, including the addition of required new classes, revision of existing classes and deletion of obsolete classes. Changes and reallocations within the Plan shall be made as follows:
(a) The City Manager shall analyze or cause to be analyzed the duties and responsibilities to be assumed by incumbents of proposed new positions and using such appraisal as a basis, assign the position to the appropriate class within the Plan if such class already exists. A new class specification shall be prepared to cover each additional new position which is created and for which the Plan does not provide a satisfactory job description;
(b) Changes in the duties and responsibilities of a position involving either the addition, reduction or modification of assignments shall be reported to the City Manager by the department head concerned. If the changes are determined to be permanent and are sufficiently significant to justify reallocation to a different classification, the City Manager shall assign the position to the class which is appropriate under the modified circumstances; provided, however, that the effective date of such different classification may, at the option of the City Manager, be made retroactive up to the time when such change in duties and responsibilities of the position effected was reported to him;
(c) The City Manager shall periodically review or cause to be reviewed, the classification of positions and audit duties and responsibilities and on the basis of his appraisal, make such changes as are necessary to keep the Plan up to date and in step with current conditions.
Reallocations of positions under the provisions of this section shall be the responsibility of the City Manager, but he shall give due consideration to the recommendations of the administrative officials concerned.
