CC RES 1998-028 RESOLUTION NO. 98-28
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
RANCHO PALOS VERDES AMENDING RESOLUTION NO.
94-56 AND THEREBY ADOPTING REVISIONS TO THE
COMPETITIVE SERVICE EMPLOYEE PERSONNEL RULES
TO PROVIDE THE ABILITY FOR JOB SHARING OF
EXISTING FULL-TIME POSITIONS
WHEREAS, the current competitive service employee personnel rules as
adopted by Resolution No. 94-56 do not include provisions for existing full-time position
to be shared by two employees; and,
WHEREAS, the ability for the City to allow two employees to share the same job
would be beneficial, in that it would allow the City to attract and retain qualified and
trained personnel who may not otherwise be able or willing to fill a full-time position,
and it would provide the City with the maximum amount of flexibility to provide
necessary services to the community in an efficient manner.
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF RANCHO PALOS
VERDES DOES HEREBY FIND, DETERMINE AND RESOLVE AS FOLLOWS:

SECTION 5 - EMPLOYEE: A competitive service employee as defined in
Municipal Code section 2.46.040 and compensated through the City payroll who is
either: 1) regularly scheduled to work forty (40) or more hours per week; or, 2) who

hours that each employee works totals forty (40) or more hours per week, and who has
successfully completed the probationary period as hereinafter provided in these Rules.

temporary employees, or volunteers.
