(A) Considerations. If the City Administrator fills a vacancy in a position subject to the Civil Service Act, he or she shall consider factors including, but not limited to, the following:
(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 employed 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.
(B) Procedure. Whenever a position subject to this subchapter becomes vacant, the City Administrator shall make requisition upon the Commission for the names and addresses of the persons eligible for appointment, and may decline to fill the vacancy for an indefinite period. If the Commission certifies fewer than 3 names for each vacancy to the City Administrator, the City Administrator may appoint 1 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. The temporary appointment shall not continue for a period longer than 4 months. No person shall receive more than 1 temporary appointment or serve more than 4 months as a temporary appointee in any 1 fiscal year.
