(A) When a vacancy occurs in a position above the entrance level, consideration shall be given to promotion of current qualified employees who submit written application for the position. However, if the executive authority deems that the best interest of the county necessitates the appointment of an applicant not currently employed by the county, the position may be filled by appointment of a person from outside the government.
(B) An employee occupying a regular position may be promoted from one position to a higher position only if he or she possesses the minimum qualifications for the higher position and if the position is vacant.
