§ 12-303  FILLING OF VACANT POSITIONS.
   (A)   Considerations. If the City Administrator fills a vacancy in a position subject to the Civil Service Act, being Neb. RS 19-1825 to 19-1848, he or she shall consider factors, including, but not limited to:

      (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.

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.

   (B)   The City Administrator may appoint one of the other persons certified by the Commission and such person shall likewise enter upon such duties until some person is found who is fit for appointment, employment or promotion for the probationary period provided and then the appointment, employment or promotion shall be complete.
