Bill > HF1723

This bill modifies the unclassified service provisions for St. Louis County by amending the existing law to change the number of deputy administrators from two to an unspecified number and repealing two outdated statutes. Specifically, the bill removes two sections of law: one regarding the terms of office for board and commission members (which mandated three-year terms), and another related to historical work appropriations. The historical work provision previously allowed the county to appropriate up to $2,500 annually to a local historical society for collecting, preserving, and publishing historical materials. By repealing these sections, the bill provides the St. Louis County Board more flexibility in appointing board members and eliminates the specific statutory requirement for historical work funding. The changes appear to be housekeeping in nature, updating outdated provisions and giving the county more discretion in its administrative and funding practices. The bill maintains the existing framework of classified and unclassified county service while removing some specific, potentially obsolete statutory requirements.
