Appointment and removal <br /> <br />The city administrator is a position that is created by council ordinance or <br />resolution. As such, the council has the power to define the duties and <br />responsibilities of its administrator, as well as the power to hire and <br />remove individuals in the position. <br /> <br />The appointment and removal process varies depending on the type of city. <br />Other factors, such as personnel policies, employment contracts, and <br />ordinances or charter provisions, are also relevant. Although department <br />heads are generally exempt from the veterans' preference removal <br />requirements, whether or not they apply depends upon the specifics of the <br />situation and the type of responsibilities that are assigned to the <br />administrator. A city council seeking to remove its city administrator <br />should consult its city attorney before beginning the removal process. <br /> <br />Home rule charter cities should consult their city charters for appointment <br />and removal procedures. <br /> <br />2O <br /> <br />Lengi~e o1' Milmesuia Cities <br /> <br />-42- <br /> <br /> <br />
