383C.032 APPOINTMENT OF CIVIL SERVICE DIRECTOR.
The county civil service commission shall appoint as hereinafter provided a civil service
director. The civil service director shall be appointed by the county civil service commission on
the basis of merit and fitness after an open competitive examination. Within 30 days after the first
members of the county civil service commission have been appointed and qualified, and thereafter
whenever a vacancy exists in the office of the civil service director, the civil service commission
shall appoint an examining committee of three persons to examine the qualifications of all persons
applying for appointments to the office of the civil service director. At least two members of the
examining committee shall be public personnel administrators or public personnel specialists of
recognized standing. As soon as practicable after its appointment, the examining committee
shall examine applicants for the position of civil service director, and shall certify to the county
civil service commission the names of the three persons rated highest in the competitive tests
and found by the committee to possess the necessary qualifications for the office of civil service
director. The county civil service commission shall then appoint one of the persons so certified
to the office of civil service director. No person who has not been examined and certified by an
examining committee as herein provided for shall be appointed to the office of civil service
director. The civil service commission shall fix the compensation and shall authorize the payment
of expenses of members of the examining committee provided for in this section.
The civil service director shall be in the classified service and shall not be removed by
the county civil service commission except under written charges and after a public hearing
by the commission.
