The Civil Service Commission consists of five members appointed by the Mayor, subject to confirmation by City Council, who serve six-year terms.  The commission is intended to ensure equitable treatment of fire and police officers by the City. The commission conducts testing for new officers and promotional exams, and hears appeals of disciplinary actions. 

The Civil Service Commission is scheduled to meet on the first Wednesday of each month at 6:00 p.m. at the Police Department, unless there is no pending business requiring commission action.  All Commission meetings or hearings, regular or as required, shall be open and public provided. However, the Commission may meet in Executive Session as authorized by the Open Public Meetings Act.
