§ 11.18. Procedures for filling beginning positions.  


Latest version.
  • When a vacancy occurs in a beginning position in the fire or police department, the Department Head shall appoint the person having the highest grade on the eligibility list unless there is a good and sufficient reason why the person having the second or third highest grade should be appointed. If the Department Head does not appoint the person having the highest grade, the Department Head shall clearly set forth in writing the good and sufficient reason why the person having the highest grade was not appointed and submit such documentation to the Director. The Department Head will utilize this process to hire or eliminate all persons on the eligibility list until the list is either exhausted or expires.
