AUBURN -- City leaders have to seek voters' permission to shake up a city hall office.
During Thursday's meeting, Auburn City Council will discuss changing the form of the Civil Service Commission to a personnel officer, but can't do anything until the issue is on a ballot.

City manager Mark Palesh suggested hiring a director of human resources who would take the duties of both civil service and Human Rights Office.

"By doing this, changing the civil service form, you are still under the civil service rules and regulations," said William Fulton, commission secretary.

Applicants for certain jobs still will have to go through the same process, starting with taking a competitive exam and meeting certain qualifications. The commission oversees civil service exams, maintains lists of eligible workers, appoints candidates, certifies positions and salaries, conducts public hearings to address new positions or changes, updates all personnel changes, and finds required licenses for employment.
