Executive positions by their nature and complexity are not subject to the normal procedures of recruitment and selection applicable to classified service positions. The City Manager may utilize any appropriate recruitment and referral sources and techniques, including, but not limited to, offering a lump sum payment of a hiring bonus not to exceed $10,000 less applicable withholdings to obtain the highest caliber employees for these positions and may appoint whomever the City Manager has determined can best discharge the duties of an executive position at their discretion. Any lump sum payment shall be contingent on agreement of the employee to reimburse the full amount of the incentive payment if the employee resigns before the employee’s first anniversary date.
