3.45.040 Scope of coverage and amendment of rules.
A. These rules shall apply to all employees except that:
1. The city clerk shall be appointed, terminated and paid in a manner determined by the city council; however, unless expressly provided otherwise in a contract with the city council or elsewhere in the Wasilla Municipal Code, the rules and any policies and procedures developed by the mayor to implement the rules shall apply to the city clerk;
2. The mayor is elected and shall be compensated in the manner provided for in WMC 2.16.070. The mayor shall receive the same benefits as those provided to employees who have obtained a regular appointment to a city position;
3. These rules shall not apply to election officials, city council members, members of city boards and commissions, temporary employees, employees hired by the mayor on a contractual basis, the city attorney, interns, nonregular hourly employees, or volunteers unless expressly provided for in these rules (for example, see subsection (A)(1) of this section) or in the policies and procedures implementing the rules (for example, see the city’s anti-harassment policy and procedure);
4. To the extent that a provision of these rules conflicts with an applicable provision of an executed and ratified collective bargaining agreement, the provision of the collective bargaining agreement shall govern.
B. Department Rules. Upon coordination with the mayor, department heads may establish written department rules which do not conflict with the provisions of these personnel rules or the personnel policies and procedures. Department rules shall be available for all affected employees to review and may be distributed and posted electronically as provided for in WMC 3.45.020(A)(13).
C. Grant Programs. When an employee is employed under the provisions of a grant program, any provisions of that grant which conflict with these personnel rules shall apply and govern the conduct of an employee employed under the grant.
D. Amendment. Employees and department heads are encouraged to submit recommended additions or modifications to these rules to the mayor at any time. The mayor shall evaluate such recommendations and may forward them with his or her comments to the personnel rules committee for its consideration. The mayor may submit additions or modifications suggested by the personnel rules committee to the city council for its consideration.
