There is hereby created a personnel appeals board which constitutes the final authority
to rule upon grievances filed by county employees under the county's grievance procedure.
The personnel appeals board shall consist of three persons, not county employees,
who are appointed by the board of supervisors for staggered terms of three years.
The board of supervisors shall fill any vacancy on the personnel appeals board by
appointing a person to serve for the unexpired portion of the vacated term. The personnel
appeals board shall annually choose one of its members to act as chairman. Two members
of the appeals board shall constitute a quorum. The members of the appeals board shall
serve without compensation. No member of the appeals board shall serve more than two
consecutive full terms; provided, that a member initially appointed to fill the unexpired
portion of a vacated term may thereafter serve two full terms. The director of the
human resource management department (HRM) shall serve ex officio as the secretary
of the personnel appeals board.
