BACKGROUND:
On March 29, 1988, the Board of Supervisors requested the
Director of Personnel to make a report to our Committee on the.
status of provisional appointments that have been made in the
County. Provisional appointments are those where an individual
is appointed to a position pending an examination. Being given
such an appointment gives an individual a clear advantage before
an oral board. Since a department head makes a provisional
appointment without the benefit of an examination process, there
is the possibility that such appointments can circumvent our
Affirmative Action goals. As a result, we have been concerned to
see how often this process is used and what the final results of
the appointment process are.
On September 26, 1988, our Committee met with staff from the
Personnel Department to review the provisional appointments which
have been made since March 1, 1988. As the attached report
indicates, there have been four provisional appointments made
since March 1, 1988 . Three of these provisional appointments
have been terminated since March 1, 1988 . In the three instances
where provisional appointments were made, the following actions
were taken:
1 . One Hispanic male who was provisionally appointed to a
Health Services Administrator position was given a
temporary appointment as a Health Services
Administrator effective May 1, 1988 .
