Saying they are seeking to reduce time-consuming, out-of-date processes and add greater efficiency to the hiring and recruiting process, the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors approved several changes to the county’s Employee Merit Rules. Although the vote was unanimous, Supervisor Steve Gallardo, a Democrat, expressed reservations.
“I sympathize with the intent here. I just hope this will not make it easier for political cronyism and personnel abuse to creep into county government. My chief concern is that our employees are treated fairly and this will not diminish their right to due process,” said Gallardo.
An update to the personnel system has been a key priority for three first-term supervisors, Chairman Steve Chucri, Supervisors Denny Barney and Clint Hickman. All are Republicans.
