ANNOTATION
Sources: No specific source.
Purposes: The Civil Service Commission, rather than the Mayor, has been designated the appointing power of the Personnel Director as a step towards assuring the complete independence of the Personnel Director and the separation of the administration of the civil service system from partisan political considerations and influences, direct or indirect. This is an indispensable requirement of any true merit system of City employment.
