Civil Service Commission Opening

The Conway Civil Service Commission is accepting nominations for multiple positions on the Conway Civil Service Commission. The Conway City Council established a civil service commission for the police and fire departments, pursuant and according to Arkansas Code A.C.A §14-51-102. The new commissioners will each serve multi-year term. All terms will start September 1, 2020 unless otherwise stated.
