§ 163 Commission Staffing Authority

• •The commission can hire a boss (executive officer) without following the usual hiring rules.
• •They can also pick a staff engineer from the department to help them.
• •They can hire helpers (clerks) if they need more people to do their work.
• •They can buy or rent stuff like tools, equipment, and supplies to get their job done.

Imagine the commission is like a school club that needs to organize a big event.

The club can choose a leader without asking the school principal for approval. They can also borrow a teacher from another class to help plan things. If they need more hands, they can ask friends to join. Plus, they can buy or rent things like decorations, tables, and microphones to make the event happen.
