90.200 Investigations by board -- Power to obtain evidence -- General powers of board -- Reports of director. (1) The board may make investigations on its own initiative, or at the direction of the mayor or legislative body of the city, or upon the petition of an employee in the
classified service, or of any person on a list kept by the board, concerning the
enforcement or violation of or operation under KRS 90.110 to 90.230. In the course
of any investigation under the provisions of KRS 90.110 to 90.230, each member of
the board shall have the power to administer oaths, and the board is authorized and
empowered to subpoena and require the attendance of witnesses and the production
by them of books, papers, records and other documentary evidence pertinent to such
investigation. In the event that any person should fail or refuse to appear under such
subpoena, or to testify, or to attend, or produce the books, papers, records, or other
documentary evidence lawfully required, the board may report to the Circuit Court
or any judge thereof, such failure or refusal, and apply for a rule, and the Circuit
Court, or any judge thereof, may, on such application of the board, compel
obedience by proceedings for contempt as in the case of disobedience of the
requirements of a subpoena issued from such court. (2) The board shall perform such other functions as may relate to the efficiency of the personnel under its jurisdiction, including the maintenance of the personnel
classification plan, the administration of service ratings, attendance records, training
programs, promotions, transfers, lay-offs, suspensions, reinstatements and related
activities, and shall prepare appropriate rules for the administration thereof, but
such enumeration is not exclusive of other proper functions or activities of the
board. (3) The board shall receive, review and correct, if necessary, and transmit promptly to the mayor and the legislative body of the city, the annual report of the director. Such
report of the director may be supplemented by any additional comment, criticism or
suggestions for the more effectual accomplishment of the purposes of KRS 90.110
to 90.230, that the board may care to submit. History: Created 1942 Ky. Acts ch. 16, sec. 4.
