(1) A Provo City Unclassified Civil Service Appeal Board (the Appeal Board) is hereby created, which shall have five (5) members. Two (2) members of the Appeal Board, and two (2) alternates, shall be appointed by the Mayor from the eligible employees of the City, each of whom shall serve for a term of three (3) years, or until their successors are selected, whichever period of time is longer. Three (3) members of the Appeal Board, and three (3) alternates, shall be selected by and from the eligible employees in the unclassified civil service, each of whom shall serve for a term of three (3) years, or until their successors are selected, whichever period of time is longer. Provided, however, that the terms of members of the Appeal Board may be altered as necessary to provide for staggered terms. An alternate will only officially attend and participate on the board during a grievance hearing when designated to replace an Appeal Board member. Employees in Human Resources and Legal are not eligible to serve as members of the Appeal Board.

(2) The Human Resources Director shall divide the departments in Provo City into three (3) groups, with each group composed of approximately the same number of unclassified civil service employees. Each group shall, by vote, select one (1) employee, and an alternate, from their group to serve as a member of the Appeal Board. The member and the alternate may not be from the same department. The City Recorder shall, upon request, assist in or conduct the election in any requesting groups. Unclassified civil service employees in Human Resources and Legal are eligible to participate in the vote but are not eligible to serve on the Appeal Board. The City Recorder is not eligible to vote or to serve on the Appeal Board.

(3) If an Appeal Board member not selected by the Mayor shall resign or for any other reason fail to serve, such member shall be replaced by the corresponding alternate member. If both the member and the alternate resign or for any other reason fail to serve, an interim replacement shall be selected by an election conducted under the same rules applicable to the original selection.

(4) The Appeal Board may adopt reasonable procedural rules not inconsistent with the Provo City Code or other City ordinances or other applicable law for the conduct of its business.
