Bill > SF1246

This bill modifies the unclassified service provisions for St. Louis County government by making several key changes: it reduces the number of deputy administrators from two to one in the county administrator's office, eliminates several existing statutory provisions related to board and commission member terms and historical work funding, and streamlines the definition of unclassified service positions. Specifically, the bill amends the existing law to clarify which positions are considered unclassified, including elected officials, department heads, administrative assistants, county attorneys' special investigators, and certain temporary or advisory roles. The bill also repeals two specific statutes: one that previously mandated three-year terms for lay members appointed to county boards and commissions, and another that allowed the county to appropriate up to $2,500 annually for historical work through a local historical society. These changes appear to provide the county board with more flexibility in managing administrative positions and eliminating outdated or unnecessary statutory requirements.
