1. Except as otherwise provided in subsection 2, when an employee of an incorporated city (whether organized under the general law or by special charter) other than a department head, city manager or city administrator who has been employed by the incorporated city for 12 or more months is dismissed from employment, the employee may request within 15 days of the date of dismissal a written statement specifically setting forth the reasons for such dismissal. Within 15 days of the date of such request, the employee shall be furnished such a written statement. Within 30 days after receipt of such written statement the dismissed employee may, in writing, request a public hearing before the governing board of the incorporated city to determine the reasonableness of such action. The governing board of the incorporated city shall grant the dismissed employee a public hearing within 15 days after the receipt of the written request. At the public hearing, technical rules of evidence shall not apply. 2. The provisions of this section shall not apply to cities organized by special charters when such special charters and ordinances enacted pursuant thereto provide a civil service system for such incorporated city and its employees and public hearings are guaranteed to like employees upon their dismissal from public service.
