Azusa Municipal Code Div. 2 Personnel

There is created a department of personnel which shall consist of a personnel board and a personnel officer.

(Code 1971, § 2.28.010)

The personnel board shall appoint a personnel officer from an eligible list established from a competitive examination. The competitive examination may be advertised and conducted and weights given to parts thereof, as the board shall determine. The salary of the personnel officer shall be set by the council upon recommendation of the board. The board may determine that the office of personnel officer can be combined with those of any other office, if the work involved does not warrant full-time service or compensation or salary. Likewise, the board may determine that the office of personnel officer shall be full time and compensated or paid full time. If the personnel officer is part time or combined with another office, he may be removed from office as personnel officer only, by a majority vote of the personnel board for cause, inefficiency or misconduct. If the personnel officer is a full-time employee, he may be removed from office by the board for cause, inefficiency or misconduct in the same manner and with the same safeguards as any other classified employee; provided, however, that the personnel officer, when such office is a full-time position, has the right of appeal to the city council. The decision of the city council shall be final.

(1) Be the custodian of all personnel records and shall be the official upon or with whom all notices, requests for hearings, complaints and other official documents shall be served and filed.
