Merit System Section 7.010. There is established a system of personnel
administration for the appointment of all county employees and appointive county officers, except as otherwise provided in this charter, on the basis of merit ascertained as nearly as practicable by competitive examination and for the retention of said employees and officers on the basis of merit and ability. It is also the purpose of the merit system to provide a plan for classification of positions whereby, in determining the rate of basic pay which an employee will receive, the principle of equal pay for substantially equal work will be followed and variations in rates of basic pay paid to different employees will be in proportion to substantial differences in the difficulty, responsibility, and qualification requirements of the work performed and to the contributions of employees to efficiency and economy. The merit system shall not apply to elected officers, heads of departments, the county auditor, the county counselor, the administrative director of the council and, if authorized by ordinance, one executive assistant and one secretary for each of them with the exception of heads of departments. The merit system shall not apply to the public administrator, members of boards and commissions, executive staffs of the council and the county executive. The officers and employees of the department of police shall be employed as otherwise provided in this charter. Section 7.020. There shall be a civil service commission
composed of five residents of the county appointed by the county executive subject to confirmationby the
council.Themembers shall be known to be in sympathy with the merit system of public employment, shall hold no other public office and shall serve overlapping terms of four years except any appointed to fill a vacancy occurring during the termof a member. The civil service commission may, by rule, authorize the commission to hear and make decisions
