This Ordinance is being presented by City Council for Council’s review and approval. If approved, Chapter 40 of the City Code would be amended to define and then add a “lame-duck period” of time during which no appointed City employee may be selected, reclassified or otherwise placed into a vacant position in the classified service, unless there is an emergency certified by the Director of Human Resources and approved by the Administrative Board. Any appointee who applies for a position in the classified service could be considered for the position, as would any other applicant, but only after the conclusion of the lame-duck period. If no appointee applies for a vacant position, then the selection process for that position may proceed during the lame-duck period. The legislation is intended to keep the employee selection process free of political influence or advantage assuring that the most qualified applicant is selected for a position of employment with the City of Wilmington.
