MCS Commission seeks members

Applications are being accepted for service on the Municipal Civil Service Commission, the “ruling body on appeals of disciplinary actions by covered city of Austin employees.” According to the announcement, the five-member volunteer commission “hears and makes final, binding decisions on appeals of city employees resulting from a disciplinary probation, disciplinary suspension, demotion, discharge, or denial of promotion. If rule revisions are brought forward by the MCS director, the MCS Commission will recommend modifications to the City Council.” If that all sounds appealing, apply here. You can also submit a resume, cover letter and other supporting documentation to Stephanie Hall, Boards and Commissions coordinator, at Stephanie.Hall@austintexas.gov. City Council will review the applications for two full three-year terms that will run from the date of appointment through May 2025.
