RE: Approval of a proposed amendment to the 01.002 Appointments Policy
recommendation
BOARD ACTION REQUESTED:
Approval of a proposed amendment to policy 01.002 Appointment Policy
BACKGROUND:
This Board has an Appointment Policy that directs the process for considering appointments to various boards and commissions. Periodically, this Board reviews policies for updates or amendments. Recently, amendments were suggested for policy 01.002 Appointment Policy.
DISCUSSION:
This request considers two substantive changes to the current policy. First, as written in the attached draft, there is an update to the process for reviewing applicants before they are sent to the Board of consideration. Second, a section is added directing the notification to applicants who have applied for positions. Too, there are minor stylistic and grammatical updates to the policy that do not change the intent of any section.
IMPACT ON HUMAN RESOURCES:
There will be minor impact on HR as they will likely be charged with notifying applicants at various stages in the process.
IMPACT ON BUDGET:
There will be no impact on the budget.
IMPACT ON FACILITIES:
There will be no impact on facilities.
IMPACT ON TECHNOLOGY:
There should be no impact on Technology.
CONFORMITY TO COUNTY PRIORITIES:
The Board has prioritized an Inclusive and Collaborative Culture. This policy attempts to do that by including residents in the decision-making process for various boards and commissions within Genesee County. By clearly defining roles and processes, the Board intends to include and consider residents of all backgrounds from across Genesee County.
