133.05 ELIGIBLE LISTS.

   (a)   Establishment of Eligible List. The scores or final standing of each applicant shall be provided to the Civil Service Commission at the completion of the examination. From the returns of each competitive examination, the Director shall prepare an eligible list of the persons whose grades in the examination are not less than sixty-five percent or who meet the minimum performance level and who are otherwise eligible. The eligible list shall be established in the order of scores or ratings, with the highest score or rating being at the top of the list, and the lowest score or rating being at the bottom of the list. The grade of any applicant failing to qualify shall not be made public.

   In an open competitive or lateral examination for original appointment, if two or more applicants receive the same grade, priority in time of filing the application shall determine the order in which their names shall be placed on the eligible list.

   As soon as the grading and rating of an examination have been completed and an eligible list is established, all applicants shall be notified in writing of their individual score or rating, and if successful, of the applicant's final average and related position on the eligible list.

   (b)   Duration of Eligible List. An eligible list shall be in effect for one year from the date on which it is established by the Director provided, however, that any list that has been reduced to less than three names may be abolished at any time by the Director, except when such eligibility list consists of persons laid-off from the classification for which the eligible list exists. The Director of Administration may request an extension of the eligible list up to six additional months or request that the Commission abolish the eligible list after six months.

   (c)   Causes for Removal from Eligible List. The Director may at any time remove the name of an applicant from any eligible list for any one or more of the following causes:

      (1)   Failure of applicant to reply to notice of certification within the time limit of such notice, unless reasons are presented that satisfy the Director.

      (2)   Rejection of the applicant for any of the causes listed in Section 133.03 (c).

      (3)   Declination of appointment.

      (4)   Failure to notify the Director of change of address.

      (5)   For attempted deception, fraud or cheating in connection with any application or tests.

   The applicants shall be notified upon being removed from the eligible list unless the whereabouts of the applicant is unknown or the address provided is inaccurate.

   Reinstatement to an eligible list may be requested by the applicant in writing to the Commission within thirty days after notification of removal. Upon approval by the Commission, the name of such person shall be restored to the eligible list in a position determined by the grade obtained by the applicant on the examination.

   A person certified from an eligible list more than three times for the classification, and is not appointed, may be omitted from future certification from that classification.

   (d)   Change in Address. Applicants shall notify the Director in writing of any changes in address while their names remain on the eligible list.
