Along with the General Election on Tuesday, Nov. 3 comes the Special Election, which focuses around civil service for police officers and firefighters. Some key facts about civil service include:

• According to state law, the purpose of the civil service law is to “secure efficient fire and police departments composed of capable personnel who are free from political influence and who have permanent employment tenure as public servants.” 
• Adopting civil service will place police and fire personnel under a different set of employee rules than other Missouri City employees. 
• Civil service will affect the City’s budget should the voters approve it.
