In general, any paid employees of the Emergency Management Agency shall have the same employment status and shall be governed by the same uniform personnel policies, rules, and procedures that apply to other county employees. However, in the event that and during such times as the county emergency management program may hereafter be directly supported by federal funding, the Board of County Commissioners shall adopt and implement a merit system applicable only to paid employees of the Agency other than the Director. The merit system shall conform to the standards and comply with the other requirements as set forth in CPG I 3: Federal Assistance Handbook: Emergency Management Direction and Control Programs (January, 1984), or subsequent editions thereof as may be in effect at the time.
