  • Civil Service Commission.

    The Civil Service Commission shall consist of five members appointed by the Board of Supervisors. Each member of the Commission shall be appointed for a four-year term and shall serve until a successor is appointed and qualified. The term of a Commissioner appointed prior to November 7, 1978, shall expire four years after appointment or on November 7, 1978, whichever is later. Any vacancy on the Commission shall be filled by the Board of Supervisors for a full four-year term beginning on the date of appointment. No member shall hold any other salaried County office, nor shall have been, within the year next preceding appointment, an active executive officer in any political organization. Each member shall be an elector of the County. The Board of Supervisors by a four-fifths vote of all the members may remove a member of the Commission during his or her term of office, but only upon stating in writing the reasons for such removal and allowing such member an opportunity to be publicly heard in his or her own defense.
