§ 34.22 AUTHORIZATION FOR HIRING PROCESS; ADVERTISING REQUIREMENT.
   (A)   Upon determination by the Chief of Police that there is a need to begin an employment process and the eligibility list (§ 34.35) has expired or contains no additional qualified applicants, the City Manager shall authorize and require the Human Resources Director to make public by appropriate advertising the intent of the City of Ashland to employ such personnel. The Chief of Police can recommend a hiring process for certified Kentucky Peace Officers only or non-certified applicants or both for processing.
