TITLE

 

An Ordinance of the Mayor and City Council of the City of Maricopa, Arizona, deleting Section 2.15.130(A)(2)(b) of the Maricopa City Code to eliminate the Merit Board as a Council established standing board and amending Section 3.75.060(J) of the Maricopa City Code to eliminate the ability to refer the administration of any election held pursuant to the Meet and Confer Code to the Chairperson of the Merit Board.  Discussion and Action.

 

AGENDA ITEM DESCRIPTION

 

The City recently changed its process to have a hearing officer handle employment appeals, making it necessary to eliminate the Merit Board as a council established standing board.  In addition, the City Code currently allows the City Manager to refer the administration of any election held pursuant to the Meet and Confer Code to the Chairperson of the Merit Board.  With the elimination of the Merit Board, the ability to refer these matters to the Chairperson should also be deleted.
