Alpine County Municipal Code Art. I Title, Purpose and Administration

This chapter shall be known as the “Personnel Rules of Alpine County.” These rules are adopted in order to provide a consistent, equitable, and efficient program of personnel administration for county employees and applicants for county employment. (Ord. 533 §1.01, 1991)

The board of supervisors shall be responsible for establishing such policies and procedures as are necessary for the administration of these rules. (Ord. 533 § 1.02, 1991)

Department heads may establish additional personnel rules reasonably necessary for the effective and efficient provision of services that are not inconsistent with these rules or other county policies, or any memorandum of understanding with a recognized employee organization, as defined in Government Code Section 3501(b), provided that the county comply with any “meet and confer” obligation under Government Code Section 3505. Each department head will be responsible for providing employees with copies of written rules established pursuant to this section. (Ord. 533 §1.03, 1991)

These rules shall be amended as necessary by the board of supervisors; provided that the county comply with any obligations under Government Code Section 3505. (Ord. 533 §1.04, 1991.)

These rules shall be liberally construed so as to effectuate their purposes and to avoid inequities. (Ord. 533 §1.05, 1991)

If any rule, section, or phrase of these rules is declared unconstitutional or void for any reason, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining portion of these rules. (Ord. 533 § 1.06, 1991)

The county is an equal opportunity employer and is thereby committed to assure and promote equal employment opportunities for all. (Ord. 533 § 1.07, 1991)
