SUBJECT: Suspension of Competition - Pam Novak
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Acknowledge receipt of report on Suspension of Competition and direct appointment.
BACKGROUND
Section 502, Suspension of Competition, provides that the Director of Personnel may suspend
competition and authorize a direct appointment to merit system positions where use of
competitive examination procedures are impractical. It also requires that a report of these
suspensions of competition giving the reason(s) shall be reported to the Board of Supervisors
on a monthly basis.
In accordance with the above regulation, I am authorizing the direct appointment of Pam
Novak, Sheriff's Property Technician II to a vacant Supervising Sheriff's Property
Technician position in the Sheriff-Coroner's Department. A competitive examination process
is impractical because the department head has indicated that the only employee left in the
Property Bureau is Ms. Novak. Since Supervising Sheriff's Property Technician requires
experience in a law enforcement agency at the level of Sheriff's Property Technician II, the
department notes that it is highly unlikely that any other candidates other than Ms. Novak
would meet the minimum qualifications for the position. Finally, the appointment of Ms.
Novak will allow the department to backfill her position through the return of a laid-off
employee.
The fact that it is highly unlikely that anyone meets the requirements for Supervising
Sheriff's Property Technician and the Sheriff-Coroner would select Ms. Novak from the staff
in his department makes the conduct of an examination for this position impractical.
