House Bill No. [insert number] proposes amendments to the municipal civil service system for the city of Alexandria by enacting a new provision that excludes certain employees from the classified civil service. Specifically, the bill adds a new category of employees who provide city computer operations, including direct services to municipal information systems and electronic security systems, to the list of those not subject to the provisions regarding appointment, promotion, and dismissal within the classified service. This addition aims to address the unique nature of roles related to information technology and cybersecurity, which are critical for maintaining the integrity of sensitive information.

The bill retains existing provisions of the civil service system, which already excludes various positions such as elected officials, executive assistants to the mayor, and temporary employees from the classified service. By including employees involved in computer operations, the legislation recognizes the importance of these roles in safeguarding the city's information systems and aligns the civil service structure with contemporary needs in technology and security.
