67A.220 Executive unit established -- Personnel duties -- Control by civil service commission. An urban-county government may by comprehensive plan or ordinance establish an <br>executive unit charged with personnel matters. In the event such a unit is established, the <br>urban-county government shall by comprehensive plan or ordinance delegate to such unit, <br>in addition to its regular functions not related to this statute, the initial performance of all <br>or a part of the functions described as functions of the commission in KRS 67A.230 to <br>67A.250 and 67A.270, but no other sections hereof, except that in any event the decisions <br>of the said unit shall be subject to review, amendment or change by the commission. In <br>the case of the certification of lists of eligible applicants for employment, such lists may <br>be prepared by the executive unit, but shall be submitted to the appointing authority only <br>after approval of the commission; and in respect of all other matters delegated, periodic <br>reports shall be made by the unit to the commission, not less than monthly, and any <br>directions of the commission, or any proposed alterations or changes in the action of the <br>unit shall be promptly complied with by the unit. The legislative body of the urban-county <br>government, subject to its comprehensive plan, may from time to time, revoke such <br>delegation of authority to the executive unit, and may establish reasonable procedures for <br>review of the actions of the executive unit, not in conflict with the provisions hereof, and <br>not in conflict with the principle that personnel policy should in the first instance be <br>determined by professional and trained personnel experts, but subject to the control of the <br>civil service commission. All other provisions of this section notwithstanding, in the <br>event that the commission amends, alters or changes any action of the unit, or in the event <br>that the commission gives any directions to the unit as provided herein, or in any way acts <br>to control the unit as provided herein, such amendment, change, alteration, direction or <br>control shall be in writing and shall be supported by findings, which findings shall be <br>supported by substantial evidence of the error of the unit. Effective: June 21, 1974 <br>History: Created 1974 Ky. Acts ch. 246, sec. 2, effective June 21, 1974.
