REPORT TO CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION
SUBJECT
Title
Action to Establish Civil Service Commission Meeting and Board of Review Dates for 2021
Report
BACKGROUND
No City Charter or City Code provision specifies the frequency of the Civil Service Commission meetings. Historically, City practice has been that the Commission meets at least every two months and when necessary as a hearing board.
DISCUSSION
For 2020, the Civil Service Commission approved a meeting schedule of every second Monday of each month (except if the Monday falls on a holiday) beginning in January, with a start time of 7:00 p.m.
For the 2021 calendar year, the Administration is recommending scheduling monthly meetings on the second Monday (except if the Monday falls on a holiday) of the month. It is also recommended that the meetings begin at 6:30 p.m[AL1]., as that would provide additional time in the event a board of review hearing was to follow the Civil Service Commission meeting. In addition, in the event departmental staff attends to provide information to the Commission in support of the department's request, the earlier start time would aid in securing attendance of the correct staff members. 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 2021 are as follows:
January 11, 2021
February 8, 2021*
March 8, 2021
April 12, 2021*
May 10, 2021
June 14, 2021*
July 12, 2021
August 9, 2021*
September 13, 2021
October 14, 2021*/**
November 8, 2021
December 13, 2021*
* The Board of Review will commence immediately following the conclusion of the CSC meeting, if necessary.
**Original Monday falls on a City Holiday. Recommend having meeting on Thursday of the same week.
If approved by the Commission, these dates and the modified start time will be brought to Council for approval as the regular meeting dates of the Civil Service Commission.
