Background
Historically, the County has engaged outside counsel to assist the Civil Service Commission in order to ensure impartiality. The Law Firm of Meyers, Nave, Riback, Silver & Wilson has a long standing history of representing the County in issues brought before the Civil Service Commission.
Reason for Recommendation
The Board is being asked to make findings that this independent Contractor can more economically and feasibly provide legal services for the purpose of advising and assisting the County Civil Service Commission, acting as Counsel for the Commission during hearings of appeals of discipline actions, complaints of unlawful personnel discrimination, and other personnel matters pursuant to Board Resolutions or Memoranda of Understanding.
Clerk of the Board Follow Up Actions
Following Board approval, the Board Clerk will forward one fully executed original of the Agreement to Procurement and Contracts for distribution and administration.
