Bill > S189

This bill amends the charter of Winston-Salem to modify the eligibility requirements for former city employees serving on the Civil Service Board. Specifically, the bill adds two new conditions for former employees to be eligible to serve: first, they must have been separated from city employment for at least seven consecutive years, and second, they must have separated from the city in good standing without any sustained conduct violations or disciplinary actions that would make them ineligible for rehire. The Civil Service Board is a governing body that typically oversees employment practices and civil service regulations for a municipal government. The bill maintains existing restrictions on board members having financial relationships with the city and prohibits board members from engaging in city contractual work or employment for two years after their board service. The changes will apply to all Civil Service Board appointments made on or after August 1, 2025, providing clarity and stricter standards for board member selection.
