§ 36.026 PROMOTIONS, TRANSFERS AND TEMPORARY APPOINTMENTS.
   (A)   Vacancies may be filled by transfer or promotion from within the city. Employees may apply for the position by submitting a written request through their supervisor or the City Clerk. An employee may be transferred or promoted from one position to another only if the employee has the qualifications for the higher position. The same procedures as those authorized for ascertaining qualifications for initial appointment to a position will be followed. All pertinent documentation of said transfer or promotion will be entered into the employee’s personnel file.
   (B)   In the case where vacancies cannot be filled from within city service or from an eligibility list, temporary appointments may be made by the Mayor for a period not to exceed six months. In cases where the temporary appointment is to a non-elected office position, appointments are made by the Mayor with approval by the City Council.
   (C)   Temporary appointments will terminate as soon as a qualified candidate can fill the position in
question in accordance with personnel hiring procedures.
