REPORT TO CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION
SUBJECT
Title
Action to Establish Civil Service Commission Meeting and Board of Review Dates for 2025
Report
BACKGROUND
No City Charter or City Code provision specifies the frequency of the Civil Service Commission meetings. Section 1003 of the Charter only requires a meeting occur "as soon as practicable" after the first of July every year to elect a presiding officer. City Code section 2.120.030 provides that "Each board or commission of the City with members thereon appointed by the City Council shall hold regular meetings at the times and on the days indicated by resolution of the City Council except when such day falls on a City holiday, and shall hold such special meetings as it may require. The times and days for holding regular meetings are subject to amendment from time to time by resolution of the City Council. A copy of the applicable resolution(s) is and will be available for public inspection in the office." Historically, City practice has been that the Commission meets at least every two months and when necessary as a hearing board.
DISCUSSION
For 2024, the Civil Service Commission approved a meeting schedule of every second Thursday of each month beginning in January, with a start time of 7:00 p.m.
For the 2025 calendar year, the Administration is recommending scheduling monthly meetings on the second Thursday of the month at 6:00 pm. Alternatively, City staff are available to meet as early as 5:00 pm. For each alternating month, it is recommended that, if necessary, the Board of Review convene immediately following the conclusion of the Civil Service Commission meeting. The meeting dates proposed for 2025 are as follows:
January 9, 2025
February 13, 2025*
March 13, 2025
April 10, 2025*
May 8, 2025
