4a) Discussion and Possible Action to Direct Staff to Initiate Modernization of New Hire and Annual Employee Standards Including Position-Appropriate Physical, Psychological, Moral Character and Computer Literacy
(Sponsor: Supervisor Williams)
On behalf of Coast Democratic Club Leadership Team, I am writing to support this item. Modernize staffing requirements is essential. It is critical to good public service. Karen Bowers, Chair, Coast Democratic Club of Mendocino County.
I am wondering why the board is spending time on this. There is an HR department that should handle hiring standards including the requirement for a Livescan/criminal background check. Does this really need to come to the full board to direct staff? Couldn't staff initiate any necessary changes at the behest of the CEO or on their own accord?
