Johnson County Civil Service Commission vacancy

The Johnson County Board of Supervisors announces one vacancy on the Johnson County Civil Service Commission for a six-year term beginning upon appointment and expiring June 30, 2028. Due to the current political make-up of the Commission, this appointee may identify with any political party or as “no party;” however, all applicants must disclose their political affiliation, so the Board of Supervisors can choose subsequent appointments which will maintain balance on the Commission, as mandated by Iowa Code 341A.2.
