(1) The multiple job skills recently or currently being performed by the applicant which are necessary for the position;
(2) The knowledge, skills and abilities of the applicant which are necessary for the position;
(3) The performance appraisals of any applicant who is already in the Department, including any recent or pending disciplinary actions involving the employee;
(4) The employment policies and staffing needs of the Department together with contracts, ordinances and statutes related thereto;
(5) Required federal, state or local certifications or licenses necessary for the position; and
(6) The qualifications of the applicants who are already employed in the department and have successfully completed all parts of the examination for the position. No person shall be reinstated in or transferred, suspended or discharged from any such position or employment contrary to the Civil Service Act, being Neb. RS 19-1825 to 19-1848.
(B) Procedure for filling vacant positions. Whenever a position subject to the Civil Service Act, being Neb. RS 19-1825 to 19-1848, becomes vacant, the City Administrator shall make requisition upon the Commission for the name and addresses of the persons eligible for appointment and may decline to fill such vacancy for an indefinite period. If the Commission certifies fewer than three names for each vacancy to the City Administrator, the City Administrator may appoint one of such persons to fill the vacancy, may decline to fill the vacancy or may order that another examination be held by the Civil Service Commission.
(C) Temporary appointments. If a vacancy occurs and there is no eligible list for the position or if the Commission has not certified persons from the eligible list, a temporary appointment may be made by the City Administrator. Such temporary appointment shall not continue for a period longer than four months. No person shall receive more than one temporary appointment or serve more than four months. No person shall receive more than four months as a temporary appointee in any one fiscal year.
