11887.1
. The board of a district which has owned and operated an
electric distribution system for at least eight years and has a
population of 250,000 or more may, notwithstanding Section 11887,
determine that additional positions requiring peculiar and
exceptional qualifications, including, but not limited to, those of a
scientific, professional, or expert character or of special
confidence, or positions with significant managerial responsibility,
shall be exempt from the district civil service if the total number
of these exempt positions, including the exempt positions filled
pursuant to Section 11887, does not exceed 5 percent of the total
civil service positions of the district. However, the board may not
determine any position to be exempt as long as that position is
filled by an employee appointed pursuant to the district civil
service.
