(A) Class specifications, which state the main characteristics of the class, give examples of typical duties performed in positions of the class, and establish the desirable qualifications required for successful performance in such positions, shall be prepared and maintained for all classes.
(B) The class specifications shall be descriptive and explanatory but not restrictive. The listing of particular examples of duties shall not preclude the assignment of other duties by the department heads concerned.
(C) A class specification shall be considered in its entirety and in relation to other class specifications in determining the class to which a position should be allocated.
(D) Nothing contained in the city’s class specifications shall be interpreted to screen out or exclude qualified candidates for employment in the city service on the basis of race, ethnicity, religion, age, physical or mental disability or other forms of illegal discrimination. With regard to physical or mental disabilities, it is the intent of the city that all class specifications be interpreted to require only those abilities required to successfully perform the essential duties and responsibilities of the class.
