A. The personnel officer shall determine whether it is desired to fill a vacancy by reinstatement, reemployment, transfer, demotion, or whether appointment from a promotional or eligibility list is preferred. The names of persons willing to accept appointment from a promotional or eligibility list shall be certified by the civil service commission prior to appointment. Appointments may be made from any persons appearing on the eligibility list. If sufficient names are not available on the list, as established in accordance with Section 2.80.370, then a temporary appointment may be effected until eligibles can be certified after appropriate examination. If the temporary employee does not successfully pass the examination, he/she shall be terminated and replaced by a person appearing on a new eligible list.
B. The personnel officer may certify names from the list for a higher classification in order to fill a vacancy in a lower classification when job duties are of a similar nature and the eligibility list for the higher classification has been certified by the civil service commission. In no case shall names be certified from a list for a lower classification to fill a vacancy in a higher classification.
