Any city of the second or third class may elect to operate under KRS 90.310 to
90.410, and, by ordinance, create a civil service commission which shall hold
examinations as to the qualifications of applicants for municipal employment
within the several departments of the city that are designated by ordinance. In
all cities of the second class, and in cities of the third class, the city may, by
ordinance, classify employees and designate the class of employees it desires
to include.
The mayor, subject to the approval of the city legislative body, shall appoint at
least three (3) but no more than five (5) persons who shall constitute the civil
service commission of that city. Each appointee shall be at least thirty (30)
years of age and not related by either blood or marriage to the mayor or any
member of the city legislative body. The appointees shall originally be
appointed one (1) for a term of three (3) years, one (1) for a term of two (2)
years and all remaining appointments shall be for a term of one (1) year, and
the successors to these appointees shall be appointed in like manner, each for
a period of three (3) years and until his successor is appointed and qualified. A
vacancy shall be filled for the unexpired term in the same manner as original
appointments. At the time of any appointment, if the mayor elects to appoint
only three (3) commissioners, not more than two (2) commissioners shall be
adherents of the same political party. If the mayor elects to appoint more than
three (3) commissioners not more than three (3) commissioners shall be
adherents of the same political party. The appointee originally appointed for the
term of three (3) years shall be secretary of the commission. Each appointee
shall qualify by taking an oath of office as required by law. The salaries of the
members of the commission may be fixed by the city legislative body.
If the appointing authority of any city fails to appoint a civil service commission
within thirty (30) days after he has the power to so appoint or after a vacancy
exists, the mayor pro tem shall make the appointment and the appointee shall
hold office until the expiration of the term and until his successor is appointed
and qualified.
The civil service commission shall make and enforce rules, not inconsistent
with the provisions of KRS 90.310 to 90.410 or the ordinances of the city, for
examinations and registrations therefor.
