REPORT TO CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION
SUBJECT
Title
Reappoint Dave Stealey to the Salary Setting Commission for a Four (4) Year Term

Report
BACKGROUND
Charter Section 702 requires the Civil Service Commission appoint five (5) members to the Salary Setting Commission. Mr. Dave Stealey was appointed to the Salary Setting Commission in 2018, for a two (2) year term and his term expired on January 1, 2020. Mr. Stealey has expressed interest in serving another term on the Salary Setting Commission.

There are currently two vacancies on the Salary Setting Commission. A recruitment and application period were held for interested residents to serve on the Salary Setting Commission. As of October 15, 2020, two (2) applications were received.

Since Mr. Sealey served a two-year term, he is eligible to serve a four-year term if appointed by the Civil Service Commission. A majority vote by the Civil Service Commission is required to reappoint Mr. Sealey to the Salary Setting Commission.

If reappointed, Mr. Sealey will need to schedule an appointment with the City Clerk's Office for administering of the Oath of Office, and other onboarding activities, before the end of the calendar year.
