(A) The promotional system is set forth as Appendix A.
(B) Promotion from the list established by the Civil Service Commission established after January 1, 2006 for Lieutenant and Captain shall be limited to those who have completed five (5) years of service with the Department of Fire and Rescue Operations and who have completed appropriate course work. The course work requirement may be satisfied with any of the following:
(1) Associate Degree,
(2) Bachelor's Degree, or
(3) The completion of six credit hours or its equivalent in Management or Administration. The Academic Review Committee specified in the section titled "2125.82 Educational Reimbursement" will make the final determination on whether a course is acceptable to fulfill this requirement and the equivalency of non-credit Management or Administration classes.
(C) The number of oral interviews will be limited to one for each individual receiving a passing score on the written portion of the testing process. The oral interviews shall be no more than sixty (60) days from the date the eligibility list is established by the Civil Service Commission. The interview panel shall be comprised of three members, two from either the current or retired City of Toledo Fire Chiefs, Assistant Fire Chiefs, Deputy Chiefs, or Battalion Chiefs, and one from the current or former City Administration or another Chief as agreed upon by the Fire Chief & Local 92. Local 92 will select one Chief to serve on the interview panel; the Fire Chief will select one Chief to serve on the interview panel; and the City shall select the Administrator to serve on the interview panel, unless another Chief is agreed upon by the Fire Chief and Local 92. All members of the panel must be mutually agreed upon by Local 92, the Fire Chief, and the City. If an agreement cannot be reached, the sixty (60) day deadline may be extended to such a time period as to allow a panel to be assembled from outside the Toledo Fire & Rescue Department. The standard deviation groupings will then be established with only seniority and discipline being adjusted through the life of the list.
