The Santa Monica College Personnel Commission wants the public’s opinion on the nomination of Dolores Press to fill an upcoming vacancy on the three-member commission.
The Personnel Commission is the public body responsible for the administration of the college’s Merit System, a civil service system for classified, or non-teaching, employees.
Members of the public are invited to the Nov. 17 meeting of the Personnel Commission to comment on Press’ nomination. The commission meets at 12 p.m. in Room 111 of the Business Building at 1900 Pico Blvd.
The first two personnel commissioners are appointed. Karen Bancroft was appointed by a representative of the classified employees, and Joseph Metoyer was appointed by the college. Under state law, these two are responsible for selecting the third commissioner when a space opens.
Press is the incumbent commissioner whose three-year term expires Dec.1. Bancroft and Metoyer nominated her to be appointed to another three-year term.
An appointee to the commission is required to be a registered voter and resident of the Santa Monica Community College District, which encompasses Santa Monica and Malibu. He or she is required to support the concept of employment, continuance in employment, in-service promotional opportunities and other related matters on the basis of merit and fitness. For information, call (310) 434-4416.
