One employee is from the Public Works Department and three are from any of the other County departments participating in the Gunnison County Personnel System. In addition, one is a non-elected Department Head.
Election of Board Members
An election is held in December of each year; in odd years to elect one representative from the Public Works Department and one representative from the other County departments; in even years to elect two representatives from County departments other than Public Works.

employees’ October paychecks, by email posting and on the personnel bulletin board in each major County building. Intent to be included on the ballot must be made, in writing, to the Secretary of the Personnel Board by close of business on the 3rd Friday in November. The order of candidates on the ballot is selected at random, and a ballot is included in the November paychecks. A ballot box is placed in the Elections Department, and ballots may be deposited there through close of business on the 3rd Friday in December. Representatives of three departments of the County count ballots on the first working day following the close of election. A write-in candidate will be counted if that candidate has expressed, in writing to the Secretary of the Personnel Board, a willingness to serve on the Board before the day of the counting of the ballots. County Public Works employees choose the Public Works representative. All other County employees choose the representatives from non-Public Works departments. In no case do other County departments vote for the Public Works representative nor do the Public Works employees vote for the other County representatives. The winners of such election are determined by plurality vote and are announced by email notice and postings.
At the first Personnel Board meeting, following each annual election, a Board Chairperson, Vice Chairperson and Classification Compensation Committee representative are elected by the Board. All offices are held by employee representatives, who are not Elected Officials or a non-elected Department Head.
Appointment of Board Members
The Assistant County Manager is responsible for appointing a non-elected Department Head to the Personnel Board at the end of the incumbent member’s two year term.
In addition, if a situation occurs where any member of the Board that has been elected by the employees must relinquish his/her position on the Board before the end of their appointed term, the Assistant County Manager will appoint an employee to serve in that person’s stead for the remainder of the designated term.
Duties
It is the role of the Personnel Board to oversee the administration of the Personnel Policies. This includes making recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners for changes to the policies. The Personnel Board is responsible for reviewing the employee benefit package from time to time and making recommendations to the Board of County Commissioners on changes. Responsibilities also include administration of the Sick Leave Bank and extended periods of separation pay. The Personnel Board is responsible for carrying out its duties as outlined in the Personnel Policies and the Personnel Board Chairperson presents an annual report, in the last quarter of each year, to the Board of County Commissioners regarding its activities.
Meetings
The Personnel Board meets at least quarterly. Notice of meetings is posted by email and meetings are open to attendance by employees and other interested individuals. Five members constitutes a quorum.
