Clark County is accepting applications to fill a vacancy on the civil service commission for the sheriff’s office.
The five-member commission oversees certain employment and personnel matters and ensures pre-employment testing and hiring is fair, valid and nondiscriminatory. The commission also presides over appeal hearings. Civil service commissioners are appointed by the Clark County Council.
The vacant, at-large seat is open to county residents. The six-year term will begin Nov. 2.
The civil service commission meets monthly, or more often as needed, usually during regular business hours.
Candidates must be U.S. citizens and registered to vote in Clark County. They must have lived in the county for at least two years and show an ability to balance interests of job applicants, current employees and the sheriff to ensure effective law enforcement services.
Education and experience in personnel administration, a legal environment or law enforcement are highly valued.
Applicants should submit a letter of interest and a current resume to Michelle Pfenning, County Manager’s Office, P.O. Box 5000, Vancouver, WA, 98666-5000. Applications can be emailed to michelle.pfenning@clark.wa.gov.
