3.55.030 Position descriptions.
A. The mayor, with advice and assistance from department heads, shall maintain a written position description for each position. Each position description shall include:
1. An appropriate title;
2. A general statement of duties and responsibilities;
3. Examples of duties;
4. A listing of minimum qualifications for the position; and
5. Essential job functions, including without limitation any physical requirements for the job, and any required reading, writing or computer skills.
B. Each department head shall prepare and update as required for the approval of the mayor a position description for each position in the department.
C. A position description is a general description and need not describe all duties required of a position. A supervisor may require an employee to perform any of the duties described in the employee’s position description, as well as other duties that are necessary or desirable and which the employee is qualified to perform. Position descriptions must be updated at least every three years or prior to advertising to fill a position.
D. The statement of qualifications in a position description may consist of common alternative combinations of education, training or experience that are required to perform the duties of the position. The city may determine that other qualifications equivalent to those stated in the position description are sufficient, regardless of whether the position description explicitly provides for such a determination. Whether or not mentioned in the position description, personal traits, including without limitation good character, loyalty, honesty, industriousness, amenability to supervision, willingness to adapt to change, and willingness to cooperate with co-workers are qualifications required for each position.
