Item No. 23 <br />memo�andum <br />TO: Mayor & City Council <br />FROM: John Godwin, City Manager <br />SUBJECT: CIVIL SERVICE COMMISSION APPOINTMENT <br />DATE: January 4, 2013 <br />BACKGROLJND: Because our police and fire departments operate under a civil service system, <br />we are required to have a local three-member civil service commission. Members' terms vary in <br />length, so do not expire at one time. Sims Norment recently completed a second three-year term <br />on the commission and indicated he does not wish to be re-appointed again. <br />STATUS OF ISSUE: At this point, we have received only one application to serve on the <br />commission. Mr. Russell Figgins is employed by Liberty Bank, and meets Paris residency <br />requirements to serve on the commission. The council needs to appoint Mr. Figgins, preferably <br />before the next commission meeting on January 30, or seek other applicant(s). <br />BUDGET: NA. <br />RECOMMENDATION: Appoint new commission member. <br />
