CIVIL SERVICE PROVISIONS. The following provisions are afforded by the County of Mendocino Civil Service System terms and conditions of employment for bargaining unit employees:
CIVIL SERVICE PROVISIONS. The City will continue to recognize the provisions of the Civil Service Act unless amended by Civil Service.
CIVIL SERVICE PROVISIONS. By entering into this Agreement, the parties recognize and agree that the provisions of this Collective Bargaining Agreement shall take precedence over conflicting civil service law provisions, including but not limited to the applicable sections of Chapters 141, 142 and 143 of the Texas Local Government Code, or the local civil service rules and regulations and ordinances of the City of Houston, and whenever the provisions of the Agreement specifically so state. All other statutory provisions and rules shall remain in full force in the same manner as on the date this Agreement became effective. The Civil Service Commission shall be composed of an equal number of individuals selected by The Association and the City for each position (actives and alternates). The Commissioners selected will decide on the commission chair. When a commissioner position is vacated the party responsible for that initial selection shall replace them within 15 days. The city and Association shall maintain an equal number of selected commissioners. The commission or hearing examiners, during disciplinary appeals, will have the authority to modify any discipline to a temporary suspension or written reprimand. The losing party of a disciplinary appeal made to an arbitrator is responsible for all arbitration fees. Supervisory Intervention shall be non-punitive and is not to be considered discipline in any form or fashion. It is intended to correct or modify actions/behavior through positive encouragement, counseling, training, or reeducation. It is not intended to punish or harm a firefighter in any way. Supervisory Intervention may not be used in any other evaluation period. The documentation relating to a Supervisory Intervention shall not be placed in the departmental file or the firefighter’s official file at Human Resources. All terminations and demotions must achieve a unanimous vote by the commissioners present if placed before the civil service commission. Demotions should also meet the requirement, outside of due process, that the infractions must not be capable of being corrected through training or rehabilitation and that the behavior in question shows the member cannot continue in that rank.
