The civil service commission consists of three members appointed or confirmed by the governing body of the District, a Chief Examiner and such assistants as may be necessary.  All actions of the Chief Examiner shall be subject to review and approval or disapproval of the Commission.

The Commission shall hold such meetings as may be required for the proper discharge of its duties with a meeting every 90 days (if there is business to perform) and such additional meetings as are requested by any Commission member.
