When a position in the competitive classified service is to be filled, the appointing power shall notify the Civil Service Commission of the fact. The Commission shall thereupon certify to such appointing power the names and addresses of the three candidates standing highest on the eligible list for the class or grade to which such position belongs. The appointing power shall appoint to such position one of the three persons thus certified. When the eligible list contains fewer than three names, the appointing power, may appoint from such names as shall be certified. If there is not eligible list for such position, or when the eligible list has been exhausted, and until a new list can be created, names may be certified from eligible lists most nearly appropriate to the position to be filled. A person certified from an eligible list more than three times to the same or similar position may be omitted from future certifications; but certification for a temporary appointment shall not be counted as one of such certificates.
Except as otherwise provided in this Charter, all persons holding positions in the classified service of the City at the time this Charter takes effect shall be deemed to be in the classified service and shall retain their positions until discharged, reduced, promoted, or transferred in accordance with the civil service provision of this Charter. The Commission shall maintain a list of all persons in the classified service, showing in connection with each name the position held, the date and character of each appointment and of subsequent change in status. Each appointing officer shall promptly transmit to the Commission all information required for the establishment and maintenance of the list.
It shall be unlawful for the Treasurer to pay any salary or compensation for service to any person holding a position in the classified service, unless the payroll or account for such salary or compensation shall bear the certificate of the Commission that the persons named therein have been appointed or employed in accordance with the civil service provisions of this Charter.
In any investigation conducted by the Commission, it shall have the power to subpoena and require the attendance of witnesses and the production of books and papers pertinent to the investigation, and to administer oaths to witnesses, conferred upon the Council.
