HR asks committee to remove 1963 handwritten application requirement from Metro code

Christy Mayo, speaking for Human Resources, asked the committee to recommend removing Metro code section 3.12010 a, a 1963‑era provision requiring benefit‑eligible employees to submit a handwritten membership application as part of new‑hire processing. "This form has been in place since 1963. It's a handwritten application that the employees fill out," Mayo said, calling the requirement obsolete now that HR systems track hire and membership dates electronically.
