The mission of the Personnel Department is to ensure fair and impartial professional and technical support services in the overall administration of the City’s personnel program. Personnel provides recruitment and testing services, administers salary and job classification plans, and personnel rules and policies. Most employment opportunities are advertised by this department, which then processes all employment applications and administers job-related tests to determine those applicants qualified for available positions. Our goal is to attract, hire and retain qualified employees. Additionally, the department staff assists individual employees and other City departments in employment-related activities.
