It would also remove requirements regarding the employee merit system and distinctions in classifications of service by moving those items to ordinances. In other words, it allows personnel management to be more agile.What happens if Amendment 4 does not pass? The Charter will continue to include a detailed section pertaining to the qualifications and duties of the human resources director and mandatory personnel policies pertaining to the appointment of personnel boards.Supporters: Halifax Audubon, LWV of Volusia County, Pawpaw Chapter, Fl Native Plant SocietyOpponents: None Known at this time
