Information

Agenda Item Text:

Approve the appointments of Eugene Sanders, Jennifer Ryan, Ludwig Kuttner, and Ana Urquijo to the Cochise County Merit Commission for four year terms from March 22, 2016 to March 22, 2020.
 

Background:

Cochise County Board of Supervisors adopted a county employee merit system.  The Board of Supervisors shall appoint a county employee merit system commission to assist in administering the system. The commission shall consist of five members, each of whom shall hold office for a term of four years.  Since 2002, the same Merit Commission members have served and have been reappointed to the Merit Commission.  As of June of 2015, the Merit Commission has only had three members.  No more than three of such members shall be from the same political party of which two are from the Independent party, one from the Democratic party and one from the Republican party.

Department's Next Steps (if approved):

Contact the Board approved Merit Commission members to let them know that they have been appointed and will need to contact the Clerk of the Board to complete the Oath.

Impact of NOT Approving/Alternatives:

The Merit Commission per the Cochise County Merit System Rules mandates that all classified designated positions within Cochise County shall consist of five members per ARS 11.351.   Not approving this action would not provide the essential number of Merit Commission members to create a quorum and the Commission would not be able to adopt or reject appeal decisions brought to them by Cochise County employees and their due process rights would not be met.

To BOS Staff: Document Disposition/Follow-Up:

Board approved Merit Commission members must be sent the Oath by the Clerk of the Board to be officially a Merit Commission Member.
