Vacancies in positions shall be filled by promotion whenever, in the judgment of the Personnel Director, it is in the best interests of the City to do so. Promotions shall be on a competitive basis except where the Director finds that the number of persons qualified for promotions is insufficient to justify competition. Promotional examinations shall give appropriate consideration to the applicants qualifications, record of performance and length of service with the City. Those found eligible for promotion shall be placed on a promotional eligibility list for the class of positions for which the examination was given and the rank of the composite score obtained.
