RECOMMENDATION
Staff recommends that the Civil Service Commission select, by majority vote, a Chairperson and Vice Chairperson to serve in that capacity until the next reorganization in July 2020 or thereafter.
BACKGROUND
The Civil Service Rules require the selection, by majority vote of the Commission, a Chairperson and a Vice Chairperson for an annual term effective July 1 or thereafter.
PROCEDURE
The Secretary to the Civil Service Commission shall administer the Oath of Office to the Reappointed Commissioner. After administration of the Oath of Office, the reappointed Commissioner shall take a seat on the dais. The retiring Commissioner shall be thanked for their years of service and may then leave the dais. The Vice Chair shall then preside over the meeting and take nominations for the selection of a new Chair and Vice Chair. So that the meeting is not interrupted by the changing of chairs, the Commission may retain their current seats for the remainder of the meeting.
AUTHORITY
In accordance with Civil Service Rule 2.3, “The Commission shall select a Chairperson for an annual term beginning each July 1 or thereafter. Such shall be by majority vote of the Commission based on nominations from the Commissioners. The Commission shall not conduct official business unless a quorum (3 members) is present.
The Commission shall decide its own meeting procedure. The Chairperson shall be the presiding officer and ceremonial representative, and may make and vote on each motion. The Commission shall, by resolution, set the time, place, and frequency of regular meetings, and shall make such decision known to the Human Resources Director.”
