This section is included in your selections.

(1) The commission shall consist of 10 members nominated by the county executive and confirmed by the county council in accordance with the county charter and this section. The members of the commission may not include any officer, official, or employee of the county or any of their immediate family members.

(2) Six of the 10 commission members shall be selected by lot by the county auditor from among those registered voters eligible to vote at the time persons are selected for appointment to full terms on the commission. Of these six commission members, one shall be selected from each county council district established under chapter 1.08 SCC and one shall be selected without reference to a county council district. The county auditor shall establish policies and procedures for conducting the selection by lot. The policies and procedures shall include, but not be limited to, those for notifying persons selected and for providing a new selection if a person selected under this subsection declines appointment to the commission or if, following the person’s appointment, the person’s position on the commission becomes vacant before the end of the person’s term of office. The county auditor shall forward the names of persons selected under this subsection to the county executive who shall nominate those persons to the commission. Nominations made by the county executive under this subsection shall be confirmed by the county council.

(3) The remaining four of the 10 commission members must be residents of the county and shall be nominated by the county executive and confirmed by the county council. The persons selected under this subsection shall have had experience in the field of personnel management. Of these four members, one shall be selected from each of the following four sectors in the county: business, professional personnel management, legal profession, and organized labor. The county council may confirm or reject nominations made under this subsection. If the council rejects a nomination the county executive shall promptly nominate another person meeting the requirements of this subsection.

(4) The members of the commission shall serve two-year terms ending December 31, 2009, and every two years thereafter. No person may be appointed to more than two terms. Notwithstanding SCC 2.03.080, members of the commission may be removed by the county executive, with the approval of the county council, only for cause of incapacity, incompetence, neglect of duty, malfeasance in office, or for a disqualifying change of eligibility. Upon a vacancy in any position on the commission, a successor shall be nominated and confirmed to fill the unexpired term. The nomination and confirmation shall be concluded within 30 days of the date the position becomes vacant and shall be conducted in the same manner as the original appointment.
