Discussion:

Approve the re-appointment of John Hadzess to the Civil Service Commission.

The Civil Service Commission oversees the County personnel system and, in this capacity, prescribes, amends, and enforces the Civil Service Rules, makes determinations on classification study recommendations presented by Human Resources staff, and makes final decisions on appeals involving alleged improper action or the denial of any rights provided by the Civil Service Ordinance and Civil Service Rules. This includes appeal of classification, examination procedures, layoff administration, and disciplinary actions. The Civil Service Commission is comprised of five members, appointed by the Board of Supervisors, each serving a four-year term.
