A. Eligibility lists will be established following examinations listing the names of those applicants who qualified in the examination, arranged in order of the scores received. These applicants will be considered qualified for appointment, pending further review by the appointing power and other qualifying procedures such as background investigations, reference checks, polygraph, and medical examinations. Eligibility lists shall be valid and in effect for a period of one year. An eligibility list may be extended by action of the personnel officer for additional six month periods, but in no event shall a list remain in effect for more than two years. If fewer than three qualified applicants are available for appointment, the personnel officer may declare the list invalid and announce a new recruitment and examination period. Names of those not chosen from an eligibility list that is less than one year old may be merged with names on a newly established list for the same classification, but such names shall not remain on the new list for more than twelve months from the date of the applicant's original examination.

1. If an eligible requests orally or in writing that his/her name be removed;
2. If an eligible fails to accept an offer of employment within ten days following the forwarding of such offer;
3. If an eligible on a promotional list resigns from the service;
4. If an eligible in a medical examiner's opinion does not meet the physical, medical or mental parameters established for the position;
5. If a person on the eligibility list leaves no forwarding address at which he/she can be contacted by registered mail;
6. If an appointing power can demonstrate that the eligible would be incompatible with the city service as ascertained through background investigations;
7. When a person's name is removed from an eligibility list by the personnel office, the civil service commission shall be informed with the reason for the removal at its next regularly scheduled meeting.
