Discussion and possible action to rescind the action taken by the Commissioners Court on May 8, 2023, related to certain position standard requirements, subject to any applicable Civil Services guidelines.

Issue: The May 8, 2023 action by the Commissioner’s Court stated that in positions above pay grade 21 and other positions where the minimum qualification stated “Knowledge and level of competency commonly associated with the completion of a baccalaureate degree and accredited college or university in a course of study related to the occupational field”, should be replaced with “Must have a Bachelor’s Degree from an accredited college or university”.
 
Solution: Human Resources requested clarification from the Wage Review Committee on February 28, 2025, related to this item.  The Committee agreed this item should be revised to include any position that states “Knowledge and level of competency commonly associated with the completion of a baccalaureate degree and accredited college or university in a course of study related to the occupational field”, may be replaced with, “Any equivalent combination of education, training, and experience which provides the required knowledge, skills, and abilities to perform the duties of the job”, when applicable and reviewed by the Human Resources Department.
 
Result: Revise the action as recommended.
