It is the intent of the city council in enacting the ordinance codified in this chapter to create a system of civil service independent of Chapter 41.12 RCW but which substantially accomplishes the purposes of that chapter. The city council finds that the system of civil service set forth in this chapter meets this intent and the requirements of RCW 41.12.010 for such independent systems. (Ord. 510 § 2, 1987).
