Historical NoteReturn to Top

The Personnel Department was created in 1979. It administers the employee selection system, labor relations and negotiations, benefit programs, and the classification/compensation plan. The Department also manages employee records, implements affirmative action, and coordinates other personnel related programs. The City Charter of 1896 created the Civil Service system and established the Civil Service Commission and Civil Service Department to administer the system. The reorganization in 1979 abolished the Civil Service Department, replacing it with the Personnel Department, and established the Civil Service Commission as a separate City agency. In 1997, the Personnel Department was incorporated as a division within the Executive Services Department. In 2001, a departmental reorganization reestablished Personnel as a separate and independent department. The bulk of records in this record group are from the old Civil Service Department.

Material is organized alphabetically by department and divided into two parts - city agencies and general materials - and includes progress reports, affirmative action plans, goal setting and general reports. One particular item of interest is a an apprentice program by Seattle City Light called "Upward Mobility," which encouraged employees within the department to pursue advancement and career changes.
