Personnel Merit Commission

Personnel Merit Commission - Chapter 2-12 (3-year terms)

Authority:  Broomfield's Home Rule Charter established the authority for the creation of the Personnel Merit Commission. 

Purpose:  The Personnel Merit Commission is charged with reviewing appeals from eligible employees who have been subject to disciplinary action (Suspension without pay, demotion or dismissal).  The Commission hears testimony from the employee and the city pertaining to the appeal including witnesses called by both parties and the Commission will accept and review evidence submitted by the parties.  The Personnel Merit Commission shall determine whether the discipline imposed was unjust or inappropriate in light of the severity of the offense.  In making such determination, the Personnel Merit Commission shall ascertain whether the appointing authority abused its discretion in finding that the employee violated a section of the Personnel Merit System, or in the level of discipline imposed.

Meetings:  The Personnel Merit Commission shall meet at least once annually, at which time a chairman shall be selected.  Other meetings shall be called by the chairman as often as needed to conduct official business, as identified in Chapter 2-12 of the Broomfield Municipal Code.
