SEC. 4.108. FIRE COMMISSION.
§ 4.108
The Fire Commission consists of five members appointed by the Mayor for four-year terms and can be removed by the Mayor. The Commission may create and enforce rules necessary for the Department's efficiency, subject to the Charter's civil service and ethics provisions.
Five people make up the Fire Commission. The Mayor picks them and can remove them. They serve for four years at a time. The Commission can write and enforce rules to help the Fire Department run well. However, if any of their rules conflict with civil service or ethics rules in the City Charter, those Charter rules win.
- Complex:The section references Charter sections (3.100, civil service, and ethics provisions) that are external to this section, requiring readers to consult other parts of the Code to fully understand the scope of the Commission's authority and limitations.
