FROM: Harry D. Cisterman, Director of Personne g Contra
Costa
DATE: June 12, 19£36 County
SUBJECT: Suspension of Competition - Patrick Boyle
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION
Acknowledge receipt of report on Suspension of Competition and direct appointment.
REASONS FOR RECOMMENDATION/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
Patrick Boyle to a vacant Administrative Services Officer position in the Private Industry
Council . A competitive examination process is impractical because the department head,
Arthur Miner, has indicated that he is unable to consider the appointment of anyone from
outside his department due to budget limitations. Moreover, Mr. Miner has indicated that
all the department staff who were interested in the position of Administrative Services
Officer have been previously interviewed for the position at the time that Mr. Boyle was
selected for a pay for work in a higher class assignment.
The fact that Mr. Miner cannot hire anyone from outside the department to fill the vacancy
and the fact that he would select Mr. Boyle from those staff in his department makes the
conduct of an examination for this position impractical .
