To enable the City Manager to exercise a choice in the filling of positions, no appointment, employment or promotion in any position in the civil service shall be deemed complete until after the expiration of three to six months of probationary service for firefighters and not less than six months nor more than one year after certification by the Nebraska Law Enforcement Training Center, for police officers, as may be provided in the rules of the Civil Service Commission. During such time, the City Manager may terminate the employment of a person appointed by him or her if, during the performance test thus afforded and upon an observation or consideration of the performance of duties, the City Manager deems such person unfit or unsatisfactory for service in the department. The City Manager may then appoint one of the other persons certified by the Commission, and such person shall likewise enter upon such duties until a person is found who is fit for appointment, employment or promotion for the probationary period provided, at which time the appointment, employment or promotion shall be complete.
