DISCUSSION:
The County Charter establishes the Civil Service Commission (CSC) to oversee a merit system of selection and retention of County employees in classified service. The Commission consists of five (5) members appointed by the Board of Supervisors to serve four-year terms of office. The chairperson shall call meetings as often as necessary but at least once a month.
The CSC per diem rate and monthly maximum amounts were last adjusted on August 26, 1996. Consistent with Board member direction, the per diem rate is recommended to increase from $75.00 to $150.00 and the monthly maximum amount from $450.00 to $900.00 based on a maximum of six (6) hearings per month. Based upon Commission workload, the Director of Human Resources has the authority to approve additional CSC hearings beyond the six (6) allowed in any month, not to exceed the annual limit of seventy-two (72).
